Webpack 5 watch not failing on error

[aardvarkk]

Expected Behaviour

• Making a file invalid should cause webpack watch compilation to fail
• I realize I have named this issue exactly like this one, but that issue is marked as resolved as of a few versions ago and yet strange behaviour still seems to persist

Actual Behaviour

• Webpack watch appears to succeed despite invalid input

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

• npm i
• npx webpack watch
  • compilation succeeds
• edit src/index.ts to uncomment out the trailing { and save
• notice npx webpack watch runs again and compilation still succeeds
• stop npx webpack watch
• run npx webpack watch again and notice that an error now appears

@aardvarkk, Thanks for reporting this. I did resolve #1204 but then broke it again fixing #1243. Check #1204 for my explanation. I will raise a PR to fix this.
