Hello! I get this error.

Invalid options object. Copy Plugin has been initialized using an options object that does not match the API schema.
 options[0] should be an object:
   object { patterns, options? }
ValidationError: Invalid options object. Copy Plugin has been initialized using an options object that does not match the API schema.

My code:

            context: 'resources'
        }, {
            optipng: {

            ],
        }
    )

I have the same problem, i changed 'img/**.*' to { patterns: [ { from: 'img/**.*', to: 'public/img' } ] } to match this signature: https://webpack.js.org/plugins/copy-webpack-plugin/#options but now I get this error: TypeError: glob pattern string required at new Minimatch

Has there been any resolution on this? I'd rather not use the solution in #9 if possible since it introduces a security vulnerability.

[markhalliwell]

@CupOfTea696 any chance this can get fixed? copy-webpack-plugin is the only dependency that has to remain outdated at a lower version.

I needed this for few projects so I forked this repo to TooDotsLtd/laravel-mix-imagemin. It's been quiet here for too long to just ignore the issue!

How to use my fork?

In your package.json find line referencing laravel-mix-imagemin and change it to:

"laravel-mix-imagemin": "github:TooDotsLtd/laravel-mix-imagemin",

and run npm update.

[alexryans]

Hi @ryanw3b3r, we have been using your fork successfully for quite some time to get around this issue in the base extensions, however it seems your GitHub repo has been removed, so the fork is no longer working. Is this temporary, or could you please reupload? Thanks.

[ryanw3b3r]

Hi @alexryans, sorry but we've had to delete this fork due to changes in company's t&c's. I think you can still use @mariovalney's fork from https://github.com/mariovalney/laravel-mix-imagemin but contact the owner to confirm.

[alexryans]

@ryanw3b3r No worries, thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

[chiiya]

I've been maintaining this fork, which is also published on NPM.
