[SOLVED] Unable to HMR (Hot Module Replacement) css/scss with Webpack 2.2.0 and webpack-dev-server 2.2.1

Versions

"extract-text-webpack-plugin": "^2.0.0-rc.2",

"webpack": "^2.2.0",

"webpack-dev-server": "^2.2.1"

Issue

"extract-text-webpack-plugin": "^1.0.1",

"webpack": "^1.14.0",

"webpack-dev-server": "^1.16.2"

No longer able to HMR css/scss since upgrading to version 2, changing the styles triggers a change (see output sample below) but I have to manually refresh the page to see the changes the page does not auto refresh, also if I make a change to a js file after changing a scss file the changes are then reflected as the js change trigger a HMR which also includes the style changes, but only changing the styles with no js changes requires a manual page refresh.

Any ideas if I have configured something wrong or what I need to do for the css/scss HMR to work?

I have also posted the issue here: https://github.com/webpack-contrib/extract-text-webpack-plugin/issues/384 but not sure if it is webpack-dev-server issue or the extract-text-webpack-plugin issue or simply something I have done.

Command running:

npm run dev

"scripts": {
    "dev": "webpack-dev-server --hot --inline"
  }

Configuration before upgrade:

const webpack = require('webpack');
const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');

const BUILD_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, 'public');
const APP_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, 'app');

let generateHtml = new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ title: 'My App' });
let extractCSS = new ExtractTextPlugin('styles/[name].css', { allChunks: true });

const config = {
  entry: APP_DIR + '/index.js',
  output: {
    path: BUILD_DIR,
    filename: 'bundle.js'
  },
  externals: {
    'cheerio': 'window',
    'react/lib/ExecutionEnvironment': true,
    'react/lib/ReactContext': true,
  },
  module : {
    loaders : [
      {
        test : /\.jsx?/,
        include : APP_DIR,
        loader : 'babel'
      },
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: extractCSS.extract('style', 'css?modules=true!sass?sourceMap=true')
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    generateHtml,
    extractCSS
  ]
};

module.exports = config;

Configuration after upgrade:

const webpack = require('webpack');
const path = require('path');
const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');

const BUILD_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, 'public');
const APP_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, 'app');

let generateHtml = new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ title: 'My App' });
let extractCSS = new ExtractTextPlugin({ filename: 'styles/[name].css', allChunks: true });

const config = {
  entry: APP_DIR + '/index.js',
  output: {
    path: BUILD_DIR,
    filename: 'bundle.js'
  },
  externals: {
    'cheerio': 'window',
    'react/lib/ExecutionEnvironment': true,
    'react/lib/ReactContext': true,
  },
  module : {
    loaders : [
      {
        test : /\.(js|jsx)?/,
        include : APP_DIR,
        loader : 'babel-loader'
      },
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: extractCSS.extract({
          fallbackLoader: 'style-loader',
          loader: ['css-loader?modules', 'sass-loader']
        })
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    generateHtml,
    extractCSS
  ]
};

module.exports = config;

You can see the size of the main.css changed, but the page never refreshed until I pressed f5
