Parenthesis in root or any parent directory name breaks live reload.

Parenthesis in root or any parent directory name breaks live reloading. No errors in either consoles.

Can anyone reproduce this to make sure its not just me. Simply rename the root folder of your project to something with parenthesis i.e. "myProject (test)".

Can confirm, had the same problem. Spaces in path are fine. Parenthesis are not.

I tried to simply escape options.contentBase in Server.js, no luck.

options.contentBase = options.contentBase.replace(/[-[\]{}()*+?.,\\^$|#\s]/g, "\\$&");

Just verified, it still happens. I also tested if running webpack works, but that doesn't work either. This means that it is a problem in webpack, not webpack-dev-server. Could you make a ticket over there (if there isn't one already)?

For future reference, this is probably getting fixed with paulmillr/chokidar#535.
