Why can't copy-webpack-plugin find the path?

Question

JavaScript

new CopyWebpackPlugin({
            patterns: [
                {
                    from: path.resolve(__dirname, './src/assets'),
                    to: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist/assets'),
                }
            ],
        }),

gives an error message

ERROR in unable to locate 'C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/vue project/webpack-start-frontend/src/assets/**/*' glob

I've tried everything, still the same error

Answer 1

You need to add the noErrorOnMissing: true option, which will tell the collector if the folder is empty, then skip it and don't generate an error.
{
//Copy assets
from: path.resolve(__dirname, "./src/assets"),
to: path.resolve(__dirname, "./dist/assets"),
noErrorOnMissing: true,
}
You just have an empty folder.
