Smart merge causes plugin like CopyWebpackPlugin to be removed

See original GitHub issue

Upgrade to webpack-merge 2.2.0, and it caused the CopyWebpackPlugin to fail.

Looking at the merged “plugins” array in 2.0.0, the CopyWebpackPlugin is listed as { apply: [Function: apply] }, where other plugins look like: UglifyJsPlugin { options: { sourceMap: true, compress: [Object], mangle: [Object], output: [Object] } }

In 2.2.0. the reference to the CopyWebpackPlugin function is removed from the array.

Should a plugin like this be something the smart merging should handle?

Yeah, I see now. CopyWebpackPlugin does function CopyWebpackPlugin(patterns = [], options = {}) {which is something the other plugins don’t do. This needs some special handling.

Thanks for the report. I’ll try to fix this up. Most likely it takes an extra check to account for the pattern they are using.
