Hot reload fails after fixing syntax error

This happens even with the proposed patch of static requires in the routes file.
It is claimed that webpack 2.2.0+ fixes the bug, but config files need some major editing. A quick and dirty workaround is to include the plugin ``webpack.NoErrorsPlugin``.

Start by reviewing the static requires in the routes file and the webpack configuration files mentioned in the issue. Check the behavior with webpack 2.2.0+ and the proposed NoErrorsPlugin workaround; done means hot reload works after correcting a syntax error without requiring the workaround.
