Deep deep mergeWithRules

[michael-vasyliv]

1. Check the version of webpack-merge you are using. If it's not the newest version, update and try again (see changelog while updating!). my version 5.8.0
2. If the issue is still there, write a minimal script showing the problem and expected output. You can also set up a repository (even better). Input data

const a = {
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: 'style-loader',
                        options: {
                            postcssOptions: {
                                plugins: [
                                    ['111'],
                                    ['222']
                                ]
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    { loader: 'sass-loader' }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
};
const b = {
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: 'style-loader',
                        options: {
                            postcssOptions: {
                                plugins: [
                                    ['333']
                                ]
                            }
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
};

const asd = mergeWithRules({
    module: {
        rules: {
            test: 'match',
            use: {
                loader: 'match',
                options: {
                    postcssOptions: {
                        plugins: 'append'
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
})(a, b);

Current result

{
  "module": {
    "rules": [
      {
        "test": {},
        "use": [
          {
            "loader": "style-loader",
            "options": {
              "postcssOptions": {
                "plugins": [
                  [
                    "111"
                  ],
                  [
                    "222"
                  ]
                ]
              }
            }
          },
          {
            "loader": "sass-loader"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

What I expect

{
  "module": {
    "rules": [
      {
        "test": {},
        "use": [
          {
            "loader": "style-loader",
            "options": {
              "postcssOptions": {
                "plugins": [
                  [
                    "111"
                  ],
                  [
                    "222"
                  ],
                  [
                    "333"
                  ]
                ]
              }
            }
          },
          {
            "loader": "sass-loader"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

If I change append to smth else it still does not work 3. Include the script to the issue. Mention Node version and OS in your report. node v14.17.3

As the project isn't funded at the moment, I am not maintaining it actively.

That said, I pushed a branch with an initial test under name fix/193-recursive-match in case somebody wants to try to fix the issue. I am happy to help with the PR and releasing then.

To work around, I would go with a regular merge and wrap the behavior behind a function. See the styling section of my book of how that could work out. I've found regular merge preferable and more understandable over mergeWithRules.
