copy-webpack-plugin: copy-webpack-plugin "ignore" option not working with dot files after update

Operating System:
Node Version: 12.7.0
NPM Version: 6.10.0
webpack Version: 4.43.0
copy-webpack-plugin Version: ^6.0.1

Expected Behavior

Copy webpack plugin should be able to ignore dotfile .gitkeep.

Actual Behavior

In the previous major version of copy-webpack-plugin it was possible to ignore the .gitkeep file on build. Now it is being totally ignored.

Code

new CopyWebpack({
            patterns: [
                {
                    from: paths.images(),
                    to: paths.output.images(),
                    globOptions: {
                        dot: true,
                        ignore: ['.gitkeep']
                    }
                }
            ]
        }),

                }
            ]
        }),

@evilebottnawi, yes. I’ll open a new issue later today/tomorrow.

If you provide reproducible test repo I can investigate, in theory it can be bug on fast-glob side, but i think it is a problem in the configuration, that is why we ask you to provide reproducible steps, but you just remove it from the issue template, and that’s why the issue was closed

It is expected, you run try to copy ./src/fonts/ directory, directory contains only one item .gitignore and you ignore it, so globby return [] empty list, we throw an error on this (previously it was warning), you can disable this behavior adding noErrorOnMissing: true
