Describe the bug
In case you have defined externals in your webpack.config.js, changing the code in those externals is not livesynced, so the changes are not visible on device. You have to restart the command to apply the changes, which makes the process slow.
To Reproduce
Use the project here - https://github.com/rosen-vladimirov/appWebpackExternalsIssue - check the README for description.
Expected behavior
Changes in externals must be visible and should not require restart of CLI command.
