I would like to save my uncompiled files to Github and have CircleCI run webpack later on to compile it. I can’t seem to get this to work…

I wrote out the rest of the details on stackoverflow: [http://stackoverflow.com/q/36510401/1766789](http://stackoverflow.com/q/36510401/1766789)

I am also having this issue.

An official response for why running `webpack` is not enough to test on CI would be great.

Sorry for the late response, I saw that @samcorcos solved this on SO, does this work for you as well?
