Nativescript Angular code sharing project problem with Webpack

Question

I have created a code-sharing projects with Angular 8.30 and Nativescript.

When I run ng serve, the app builds ok. However with tns run android I have problems with Webpack.

Here is the error:

Invalid options object. Copy Plugin has been initialized using an options object that does not match the API schema.
 - options[0] misses the property 'patterns'. Should be:
   [non-empty string | object { from, to?, context?, globOptions?, toType?, force?, flatten?, transform?, cacheTransform?, transformPath?, noErrorOnMissing? }, ...] (should not have fewer than 1 item)
 - options[1] misses the property 'patterns'. Should be:
   [non-empty string | object { from, to?, context?, globOptions?, toType?, force?, flatten?, transform?, cacheTransform?, transformPath?, noErrorOnMissing? }, ...] (should not have fewer than 1 item)
 - options[2] misses the property 'patterns'. Should be:

                "@angular/router",
                "nativescript-angular/platform-static",
                "nativescript-angular/router",
            ],
            projectRoot,
            webpackConfig: config,
            snapshotInDocker,
            skipSnapshotTools,
            useLibs
        }));
    }

    if (hmr) {
        config.plugins.push(new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin());
    }

    return config;
};

How can I figure out the fix?

Actually, this issue is related to version of "@angular-devkit/build-angular".

For me works!

After generating code sharing project:
1. Drop folders: 'hooks', 'node_modules', 'platforms'
2. Drop files: 'package-lock.json', 'webpack.config.js'
3. Change version of '@angular-devkit/build-angular' from current (~0.803.0) to ~0.7.0 ; Then run npm install
4. Then change '@angular-devkit/build-angular' version to current one (~0.803.0). Then run nmp install
5. Test: tns run ios --bundle

I have 0 explanation on why this worked, but it did... Any news from the author on a fix? It's still present in 0.901.0

I think downgrading back the environment is a bad approach, take a look the next answer which is about how to update your webpack config to be compatible the new build-angular version (0.803+)

The same happened to me and When I try to edit webpack.config.js it works for me just replace the lines

 new CopyWebpackPlugin([
            { from: { glob: "fonts/**" } },
            { from: { glob: "**/*.jpg" } },
            { from: { glob: "**/*.png" } },
        ], { ignore: [`${relative(appPath, appResourcesFullPath)}/**`] }),

to be

new CopyWebpackPlugin({
            patterns: [
              { from: "fonts/**", globOptions: { ignore: [`${relative(appPath, appResourcesFullPath)}/**`] } },
              { from: "**/*.{jpg,png}", globOptions: { ignore: [`${relative(appPath, appResourcesFullPath)}/**`] } },
            ]
          }, { ignore: [`${relative(appPath, appResourcesFullPath)}/**`] }),

and do not forget to add fonts folder if you do not have one

This supposed to be the BEST answer. The accepted answer is about downgrading the environment instead of solving the issue with the updated version.

I tried this but I still get some errors ERROR in unable to locate 'fonts/**' at '<app_path>/src/fonts/**' and ERROR in unable to locate '**/*.{jpg,png}' at '<app_path>/src/**/*.{jpg,png}

Did you have folder with name fonts in your src ? @Lukas

Lukas Over a year ago

yes I have. I solved the problem now by creating a new Code Share Project and copying all config files to my existing Project. Then I changed the applicationId and so on in all new files. With this solution I got a working Upgrade to Angular 10. Its not the prettiest solution but it works.
