Changes doesn't effect on hot reload.

Changes doesn't effect on hot reload. I have to restart the server to see the changes made on partial components created by this plugin.

my webpack.config.js file

const path = require("path");
const CopyPlugin = require("copy-webpack-plugin");
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
const fs = require('fs');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require("html-webpack-plugin");
const HtmlWebpackSimpleIncludePlugin = require("html-webpack-simple-include-plugin");

module.exports = {
entry: {
main: "./src/index.js",
},
mode: "development",
devServer: {
watchFiles: ["src/**/*"],
hot: true,
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /.css$/i,
include: path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
'css-loader',
'postcss-loader',
],
},
{
test: /.(png|svg|jpg|jpeg|gif)$/i,
type: 'asset/resource',
}
],
},
resolve: {
extensions: [".tsx", ".ts", ".js"],
},
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: 'styles.css',
}),
new CopyPlugin({
patterns: [
{ from: "src/assets", to: "assets" }
],
}),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: "src/index.html",
}),
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
filename: "about.html",
template: "src/about.html",
}),
new HtmlWebpackSimpleIncludePlugin([
{
tag: '',
content: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, "src/partials/footer.html")),

  },
  {
    tag: '<include-header />',
    content: fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, "src/partials/header.html")),
  }
])

],
output: {
filename: "index.js",
path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
clean: true,
},
};

Hi, I'm not really actively working on this project anymore, but have you tried the following:

module.exports = {
  //...
  devServer: {
    watchContentBase: true
  }
};

Further info at: https://v4.webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserverwatchcontentbase

Thank you for your reply. I've tried it and doesn't work. It throws an error. I am using webpack v5
