ENOENT: No such file or directory, scandir (only on windows)

[StuderAaron]

I get the following Error, when using the plugin on windows (on linux everything works fine):

The problem seems to be, that the path is empty (in CachedInputFileSystem:provideSync).
Any Ideas?

What I found was that package.json was include as a module. When LicenseTextReader.prototype.readLicense (LicenseTextReader.js) executes it fails as module.directory is an empty string. As the fix I added the below highlighted line.

Not sure whether this is the correct fix.

Found an immediate workaround for now:

  new LicenseWebpackPlugin({
      excludedPackageTest(packageName) {
        return packageName === '<this module name>'
      },
  })

(EDIT: Debugged the logic here. Agree with @williamjacobszoon that the inclusion seems to be because of the own module's inclusion [where module.name === to the name in package.json] with a module.directory === ''.)

We ran into this issue when using both html-webpack-plugin and license-webpack-plugin in our project.

      excludedPackageTest(packageName) {
        return packageName === '<this module name>'
      },

Hi @WorldMaker, in which way you found the name of the causing modul?

[WorldMaker]

@stritti I believe I recall that was some old fashioned console.log debugging. I think I started with a return true in that callback, with a console.log(packageName) and started at the bottom of the list until the error went away.
