Beta version does not work for me

[norcino]

After updating to react-scripts 5 I am unable to use cra-build-watch, which for me worked really well. As part of the investigation to resolve I found your suggestion to try the beta and so I did. The installation and update of the webpack config succeeded but failed the start.

Sorry I don't have time to maintain this project anymore so I'll archive it and add a note in the README. Feel free to fork it as you see fit.
