src/index.ts Cannot be found with by webpack dev server

Hi, I really like this package but recently I ran into a problem in a TypeScript project:

Hot reloading does not work well. I don't have this problem for other packages like typeorm which also provides it's own type definitions.

17:13:28 webpack.1    | (Emitted value instead of an instance of Error) Cannot find source file '../../src/index.ts': Error: Can't resolve '../../src/index.ts' in '/Users/me/project/node_modules/graphql-request/dist/src'
17:13:28 webpack.1    |  @ ./client/components/orgs.tsx 2:0-42 23:8-15
17:13:28 webpack.1    |  @ ./client/components/client.tsx
17:13:28 webpack.1    |  @ ./client/index.tsx
17:13:28 webpack.1    |  @ multi (webpack)-dev-server/client?http://localhost:8081 webpack/hot/dev-server babel-polyfill ./client/index.tsx
17:13:28 webpack.1    |

For some reason it's traversing 2 directories up and then failing to find that file.

I found the same issue and the answer here:
apollographql/react-apollo#597 (comment)

To quote:
"In my webpack config I have the source-maps-loader but didn't exclude node_modules and this seemed to be causing the issue. Adding the exclude fixed it for me."

And the config should be:

      {
        enforce: 'pre',
        test: /\.js$/,
        loader: 'source-map-loader',
        exclude: [/node_modules/, /build/, /__test__/],
      },

I am unable to reproduce this issue in the latest version of WebPack, so I will assume this issue is fixed. If someone is still experiencing issues let us know.
