Repro steps.

I always had a custom section like that:

"scripts": [
    { "input": "../node_modules/powerbi-client/dist/powerbi", "output": "powerbi", "lazy": false },
    { "input": "../node_modules/oidc-client/dist/oidc-client", "output": "oidc-client", "lazy": true }
],

Now with 1.4 version I've got an error on ng serve:

10% building modules 3/3 modules 0 activec:\Projects\work\Source\node_modules\webpack-concat-plugin\index.js:54
                        throw err;
                        ^
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:\Projects\work\Source\node_modules\oidc-client\dist\oidc-client'

Mention any other details that might be useful.

In order to fix that I just added extension .js to the input value

"scripts": [
    { "input": "../node_modules/powerbi-client/dist/powerbi.js", "output": "powerbi", "lazy": false },
    { "input": "../node_modules/oidc-client/dist/oidc-client.js", "output": "oidc-client", "lazy": true }
],

Works this way. But just wonder should it just work the way it was before, without having .js extension?

Same here on angular/cli 1.4 I get this message about the control pack I use:

C:\Projects\Torch10\torch10-web\node_modules\webpack-concat-plugin\index.js:54 [0] [0] throw err; [0] [0] ^ [0] [0] [0] [0] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Projects\Torch10\torch10-web\node_modules\jqwidgets-framework\jqwidgets\jqxdocking'

and it was just fine in cli 1.1 (the file does exist on this path, but it is ending with 'jqxdocking.js') I updated the scripts section in ny angular-cli.json and it fixed it.

"scripts": [
                "../node_modules/jqwidgets-framework/jqwidgets/jqxdocking.js"
]

Heya, I'm sorry this changed. It was never supposed to auto-add the .js extension and to be honest I did not know that was happening... we changed the way scripts are loaded to allow for uglification and sourcemaps, and the new way doesn't support auto-adding .js. We could add this manually, but since it was never my intention to have it supported I'd prefer not to.
