Plugin removing html files generated by html-webpack-plugin

[ktunkiewicz]

  plugins: [
    //new ExtraneousFileCleanupPlugin(),
    new HtmlWebPackPlugin(),
  ],

results in:

                   Asset       Size                 Chunks             Chunk Names
           calculator.js   1.87 MiB             calculator  [emitted]  calculator
              index.html  194 bytes                         [emitted]

But the:

  plugins: [
    new ExtraneousFileCleanupPlugin(),
    new HtmlWebPackPlugin(),
  ],

results in:

                   Asset      Size                 Chunks             Chunk Names
           calculator.js  1.87 MiB             calculator  [emitted]  calculator

This is actually the intended functionality of the plugin - it is unopinionated about which files it removes - they only have to have a minimum byte size.

The recommended config for this plugin is:

new ExtraneousFileCleanupPlugin({
  extensions: ['.js']
})

Only js files below 1024 bytes will be removed then :)
