Plugin does not preserve folder structure source vs destination when using the copy event

[yorkish]

Config

new FileManagerPlugin({
  events: {
    onStart: {
      delete: ["dest/**", "webresources/**"],
    },
    onEnd: {
      copy: [
        {
          source: "sources/images/**/*.{png,gif,jpg,jpeg,ico,svg}",
          destination: "webresources/images",
        },
        {
          source: "dest/fonts",
          destination: "webresources/fonts",
        },
        {
          source: "dest/{main,runtime~main,vendors}.bundle.{js,js.map}",
          destination: "webresources/js",
        },
        {
          source: "dest/*.{css,css.map}",
          destination: "webresources/css",
        },
        {
          source: "dest/webresources/images/**/*.{png,gif,jpg,jpeg,ico,svg}",
          destination: "webresources/images",
        },
      ],
    },
  },
});

Issue

backtracked the issue to v3.0.0-alpha.0 on commit Replace cpx, remove fs-extra, update ava

basically under 'sources/images' I have additional folders named svg and favicon.

v3.0.0+ using cpy doesn't create those subfolders in the destination folder anymore as cpx did. everything gets mixed up in the same dest folder 'webresouces/images'

CPX is replaced with CPY since it is no longer maintained. Unfortunately CPY doesn't allow recursive copy. There is an open PR for that in CPY repo. I am waiting on that.

[zenonhun]

Any update or workaround for this? CPY doesn't seems to fix this issue anytime soon.

[sibiraj-s]

I am afraid we may need to wait on it. I am open to suggestions, let me know if you find anything.

[zhangshme]

Any progress?

[enkelmedia]

This one is really limiting, is there any plans to address it?

[sibiraj-s]

@enkelmedia the PR to support this feature is done. sindresorhus/cpy#77. It is in review, hoping it would be merged soon. I will release a patch as soon as it is merged.

[daniel-brenot]

Bumping because this just ended up causing a delay where i work

[sibiraj-s]

Since PR is now merged, I can try making an alpha release pointing to the cpy's master branch .

[philipp-winterle]

Is anything happening here? Or should we move away from filemanager plugin

[sibiraj-s]

Since PR is now merged, I can try making an alpha release pointing to the cpy's master branch .

I was going to try this. but soon I saw some activity towards release on cpy's repo, then I started waiting for the release. I don't think it will be happening anytime soon. I will see if I can work with its master. or prefer some other library or just do it natively.

[sibiraj-s]

Tired of waiting on cpy, and next version is ESM only. hence the package is removed and implemented natively. Try v7 alpha. It by default copies everything recursively, flat option is yet to be implemented.
