Need to restart webpack-dev-server to update ts check status after making change to my types in d.ts files?

[cbdeveloper]

Current behavior

When I make changes to my types. Sometimes the plugin will only show/resolve TS errors/warnings after I stop and restart webpack-dev-server.

Expected behavior

The plugin would update the TS errors/warning immediately after type changes.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Don't know exactly how to reproduce, but would like to know if this is normal behavior.

Issue reproduction repository

For example

The plugin is complaining about a IS_MOBILE property that is missing from my LAYOUT type.

This is because I was experimenting a new shape for this object.

But you can see that I already removed that property from my LAYOUT interface, so that error should not be showing anymore.

Now I'm going to restart webpack:

You can see from the image above that the error is now gone.

QUESTION

Is this the normal behavior for the ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin? Do I need to restart my webpack-dev-server when I make those kind of changes? Or is it maybe cause because I'm using react-hot-loader or some other config I should be using. Has anyone seen this before?

NOTE: The normal VSCode ts check throughout my opened files is working fine. They always immediately reflect the changes I make to the types I'm using.

PS: Those types are declared in d.ts files using declare namespace {...}

Environment

"fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin": "^5.0.14",
"webpack": "^4.44.0",
