@JacobWay @dietergeerts and others - it seems like it can be fixed by the template option of the html-webpack-plugin. Like example below.
...
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: path.join(__dirname, 'src/index.ejs'), // path to your index.ejs
}),
...
use like this webpack --config webpack.config.js && webpack-dev-server --hot --open is more simple.
+1, I try the template option, But in vain
When using webpack-dev-server the html-webpack-plugin doesn't write to disk, but as yvanwangl pointed out you can use the html-webpack-harddisk-plugin to force the html to be written to disk, which will then be served by the dev server plugin:
plugins:[
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
alwaysWriteToDisk: true
}),
new HtmlWebpackHarddiskPlugin(),
...
I got it working without the HtmlWebpackHarddiskPlugin, check this comment, maybe it could help. I was confused with this as well
I am able to use an .ejs template file with WebpackDevServer. The .ejs template file sits at /src/index.ejs and the webpack output is sent to /public.
Here are my relevant package versions.
"devDependencies": {
"html-webpack-plugin": "^2.22.0",
"react-hot-loader": "^3.1.3",
"webpack": "^3.10.0",
"webpack-dev-server": "^2.4.5"
}Below is my webpack config file. Reading Facebook's create-react-app dev config file for webpack will provide a very clear explanation of all the important config properties. The important thing to keep in mind is that WebpackDevServer serves the build files from memory.
const { resolve } = require("path");
const webpack = require("webpack");
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
module.exports = {
devtool: "eval-source-map",
entry: [
"react-hot-loader/patch",
resolve("src", "index.js")
],
output: {
filename: "js/bundle.js",
path: resolve("public"),
publicPath: "/"
},
resolve: {
extensions: [".js", "jsx"]
},
module: { /* your rules here */ },
plugins: [
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
title: "My App Name",
filename: resolve("public", "index.html"),
template: resolve("src", "index.ejs"),
inject: false,
hash: true
})
],
devServer: {
contentBase: resolve("public"),
historyApiFallback: true,
hot: true,
inline: true,
publicPath: "/"
}
};The .ejs template which sits at /src/index.ejs

Hey guys, i find a solution, you can use html-webpack-harddisk-plugin
