Webpack won't generate external css file

Question

my webpack setup won't generate the external css file. It bundles my .js just fine however. I am using the ExtractTextPlugin and it's still not working. No errors are generated. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Here is my webpack.config.js

var ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
var path = require('path');

module.exports = {

    entry: './client/app/root.js',

    output: {
        path: path.resolve('./client/dist'),
        filename: 'bundle.js'
    },

    devtool: 'source-map',
    watch: true,

    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /\.jsx?$/,
                exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
                loader: 'babel',
                query: {
                    presets: ['react', 'es2015', 'stage-0']
                }
            },
            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract("style-loader", "css-loader")
            },
            {
                test: /\.less$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract("style-loader", "css-loader!less-loader")
            }
        ]
    },

    plugins: [
        new ExtractTextPlugin('styles.css')
    ]
};

I figured it out. works now! :-) I needed to setup multiple entry points like so:

entry: [
    './client/app/root',
    './client/styles/styles.less'
],
