copy plugin constructs an incorrect destination path and fails to copy the file there

[lionel87]

encountered a weird bug, where the file name of the destination path is removed from the constructed path.

plugin setup:

copyPlugin({
	resolveFrom: 'cwd',
	assets: [{
		from: 'public/**/*.json',
		to: 'dist/'
	}],
	verbose: true,
	copyOnStart: true,
	watch: true,
}),

cwd is in D:\GIT\myapp\ esbuild version: 0.17.10 copy plugin version: 2.1.0

output log:

i File copied: D:\GIT\myapp\public\collections\config.json -> D:\GIT\myapp\dist\collections\config.json
i File copied: D:\GIT\myapp\public\collections\config.schema.json -> D:\GIT\myapp\dist\collections\config.schema.json
i File copied: D:\GIT\myapp\public\collections\editor.json -> D:\GIT\myapp\dist\collections\editor.json
X [ERROR] EPERM: operation not permitted, copyfile 'D:\GIT\myapp\public\collections\publication-type.json' -> 'D:\GIT\myapp\dist\collections' [plugin plugin:copy]

esbuild running in watch mode produces the same output source files are readable, destionation folder is clean, and writeable.

Tried to rename the publication-type.json json to something completely different, then it errors with a different file named publication.json. I dont know if filenames are relevant or not. My public folder contains these files:

assets\bootstrap.min.css
assets\forest.jpg
assets\react-dom.development.js
assets\react-dom.production.min.js
assets\react.development.js
assets\react.production.min.js
collections\charts.json
collections\config.json
collections\config.schema.json
collections\editor.json
collections\publication-type.json
collections\publication.json
collections\publication.ui.json
collections\UISchema\editor-UISchema.json
index.html

this plugin seems great and does exactly what we need, so I would be happy if this could be fixed!

Managed to workaround by adding ./ prefix to the paths :

copyPlugin({
	resolveFrom: 'cwd',
	assets: [{
		from: './public/**/*',
		to: './dist'
	}],
	verbose: true,
	copyOnStart: true,
	watch: true,
}),

This way it works as intended.

Can you provide me with a minimum reproduction example? I tried to restore your project structure locally, but I didn't find the expected error reporting  🙏.
