Additional Info

Minimum reproducible repo : https://github.com/EslamHiko/webpack-dev-server/tree/add-stdin-option
go to examples/cli/stdin and add that config :

'use strict';
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
entry: './app.js',
devServer:{
stdin:true
}
};

Run npm run webpack-dev-server without --stdin flag
The server will accept input and closes when you exit CTRL+C/CTRL+D the same behavior when you add --stdin flag
if you don't add the option and run npm run webpack-dev-server without --stdin it won't accept input

Need to add stdin to errorMessage.

[hiroppy]

I don't know this option(--stdin) is necessary. /cc @evilebottnawi

[EslamHiko]

@hiroppy Done

[alexander-akait]

Looks good, we need add tests

[EslamHiko]

@evilebottnawi I searched a lot & tried a lot to capture any input but I couldn't find a way to test if the CLI can accept input or not.
But I have a Minimum reproducible repo here: https://github.com/EslamHiko/webpack-dev-server/tree/add-stdin-option
Here is a walkthrough to test it :

go to examples/cli/stdin and add that config :

'use strict';
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
entry: './app.js',
devServer:{
stdin:true
}
};

Run npm run webpack-dev-server without --stdin flag
The server will accept input and closes when you exit CTRL+C/CTRL+D the same behavior when you add --stdin flag
if you don't add the option :

'use strict';
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
entry: './app.js',
};

and run npm run webpack-dev-server without --stdin it won't accept input

[EslamHiko]
