Repro steps.

cd myproject
ng build --target=production
The file dist/3rdpartylicenses.txt will be empty.

The log given by the failure.

No log

Desired functionality.

3rdpartylicenses.txt should contain the licenses of all modules loaded from node_modules

Mention any other details that might be useful.

• I am the author of the webpack plugin that outputs the licenses. I have already pushed a fix in version 0.5.1 of license-webpack-plugin. Upgrading the version of license-webpack-plugin should resolve the issue.
• packages don't get detected if webpack context is outside of project root  xz64/license-webpack-plugin#12

Thank you xz64. I was just affected by this issue.

Any workaround for us "users" you can recommend except updating the package.json of @angular/cli manually to use 0.5.1 of your license-webpack-plugin?

[JanWaller]

Maybe the supplied pattern could be changed as well:
pattern: /^.*$/

So not only MIT,ISC and BSD licensed files are included, but, e.g., Apache as well

@mariuszBX I can't think of any workarounds for this. I submitted pull request #7064 to upgrade license-webpack-plugin.

[kumaresan-subramani]

is there any way to avoid 3rdpartylicenses.txt file generation while running below command:

ng build --prod window --aot --source-map=false --vendor-chunk=true --output-hashing none
