Ignore a folder or a file

[PierBJX]

• Operating System: Windows 10
• Node Version: 10.15.3
• NPM Version: 6.4.1
• webpack Version: 4
• copy-webpack-plugin Version: 5.0.3

Expected Behavior

To ignore the folder or the file specifies in the options.

Actual Behavior

It copies everything, even the ignore array path.

Code

    new CopyWebpackPlugin([
        {
            from: 'src/assets',
            to: 'assets',
            ignore: ['./src/assets/img/favicons/fav.png']
        },
    ]),

I also tried to ignore the folder like that.

    new CopyWebpackPlugin([
        {
            from: 'src/assets',
            to: 'assets',
            ignore: ['./src/assets/img/favicons/*']
        },
    ]),

How Do We Reproduce?

Here is my full webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
    entry: {
        page1: './src/page1/main.js',
        page2: './src/page2/main.js',
    },
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'), // output directory
        filename: '[name].js', // name of the generated bundle
        publicPath: '/'
    },
    module: {
        rules: [
            // Babel
            {
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                loader: 'babel-loader',
                options: {
                    presets: ['@babel/preset-env']
                }
            },
            // HTML loader
            {
                test: /\.html$/,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: "html-loader",
                        options: { minimize: true }
                    }
                ]
            },
            // SCSS & CSS
            {
                test: /\.s?[ac]ss$/,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
                    },
                    { loader: 'css-loader' },
                    {
                        // Loader for webpack to process CSS with PostCSS
                        loader: 'postcss-loader',
                        options: {
                            plugins: function () {
                                return [
                                    require('autoprefixer')
                                ];
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    { loader: 'sass-loader' }
                ],
            },
            // File loader
            {
                test: /\.(woff(2)?|ttf|eot|png|svg)(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: 'file-loader',
                        options: {
                            limit: 8192,
                            outputPath: '/assets'
                        },
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    plugins: [
        new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
            template: './src/index.html',
            inject: true,
            chunks: ['page1'],
            filename: 'index.html'
        }),
        new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
            template: './src/page2/index.html',
            inject: true,
            chunks: ['page2'],
            filename: 'page2/index.html'
        }),
        new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
            filename: '[name].css',
            chunkFilename: '[id].css',
        }),
        new FaviconsWebpackPlugin('./src/assets/img/favicons/fav.png')
    ]
};

Please provide minimum reproducible test repo, looks you have invalid ignore value
