Repro steps.
Have an .angular-cli.json with the following assets config:
"assets": [
"assets",
{
"glob": "**/*",
"input": "./assets/img",
"output": "./img"
}
],
ng build -prod or any build step that produces the dist directory.
The problem.
dist/img doesn't exist once the build is done. If you switch the order of the two entries so that the glob pattern runs first and "assets" runs second, then only dist/img is created, but dist/assets/img is copied, and the rest of the assets are not. So there is some type of merging or interaction between the copy commands when they should be separate. This worked fine in earlier releases, like 1.3.1 for example, but I'm not sure which version changed this.
Desired functionality.
The entries in the assets array should not affect each other as long as the output directories are distinct. Before someone asks, yes, I want the same files copied to multiple places (dist/assets/img/ and dist/img/).
