ng serve hanging on "92% additional asset processing scripts-webpack-plugin"

🐞 bug report

Affected Package

Problem trying to run ng serve with Angular: 9.0.0-rc.7 (presumably webpack under the hood).

Is this a regression?

Not sure. Similar complaints have been made in the past, but no clear solution is obvious. Isn't this just a matter of copying over scripts from the specified file path to the web-app's output dir?!

Description

I'm trying to add scripts for lightgallery.js to my angular app. After running npm i -S lightgallery.js I have the following in both test and build architects in angular.json:

            "scripts": [
              "./node_modules/lightgallery.js/dist/js/lightgallery.min.js",
              "./node_modules/lightgallery.js/dist/js/lg-thumbnail.min.js",
              "./node_modules/lightgallery.js/dist/js/lg-fullscreen.min.js"
            ]

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

Checkout this branch https://github.com/MagnusBrzenk/skymont/tree/001-basic and try npm i followed by ng serve.

Hi, the problem seems to be that you are trying to copy files which don't exist. lightgallery.js doesn't contain lg-fullscreen.min.js and lg-thumbnail.min.js.
