Watch is not picking up new files after dev-server started

[oscarviq]

Hi, I'm working on an Angular application and using the plugin to merge i18n files. It's working great however I've noticed that if I start a dev server ng serve it will detect changes on existing files and re compile but If I add a new json file I have to stop the dev server and re-start it for webpack to watch the new file.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that when a new .json file is created it's blank and that would error out the plugin.

Thanks in advanced.
