failOnUnused not working properly

[caiquegiovannini]

I set failOnUnused as true, when I have unused components in the code, I get the log that the compilation failed but my application is still working. So the compilation doesn't really fail or am I missing something?

I ran into the same issue. Not sure if failOnUnused is just not working or I have a misconfiguration. Here is my configuration:

new UnusedWebpackPlugin({
      directories: [`${paths.root}/src`],
      failOnUnused: true,
      exclude: [
         ...
      ],
      root: paths.root,
    }),
