#1315 I have a same issue. It works when I matches 'public path'.

@haegul what do you mean with 'matches publicPath'? 🤔
my devServer and output objects have the same publicPath 🤔

Reproducible test repo doesn't work, also you use outdated version of webpack-dev-server, please update. Closing issue due can't reproduce, anyway feel free to feedback. If somebody can create working reproducible test repo with latest version of webpack-dev-server i will reopen issue and fix problem, thanks!
