[BUG] Output file structure looks different than "npm run build"

[Samathingamajig]

Support plan

• is this issue currently blocking your project? (yes/no): yes
• is this issue affecting a production system? (yes/no): yes/no, I don't know what you mean by "affecting a production system"

Context

• node version: v10.22.0
• module version with issue: 3.4.0
• last module version without issue: ?
• environment (e.g. node, browser, native): node/browser
• used with (e.g. hapi application, another framework, standalone, ...): Flask backend, Create-React-App
• any other relevant information: This is on https://repl.it, but that shouldn't be affecting this

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

I'm trying to use cra-build-watch to auto build my create-react-app, but the file structure of the build-watch is different than the file structure, which doesn't work for development since the Flask backend requires ./client/build/static/ to be the static files folder (client is the folder with the React app).

What was the result you got?

./build
-- /js
---- 0.chunk.js
---- 0.chunk.js.map
---- 1.chunk.js
---- 1.chunk.js.map
---- bundle.chunk.js
---- bundle.chunk.js.map
---- main.chunk.js
---- main.chunk.js.map
-- asset-manifest.json
-- favicon.ico
-- index.html
-- logo192.png
-- logo512.png
-- manifest.json
-- robots.txt

What result did you expect?

I expected there to be a ./static/ folder with ./js inside of it.

./build
-- /static
---- /css
------ main.a_hash.chunk.css
------ main.a_hash.chunk.css.map
---- /js
------ 2.a_hash.chunk.js
------ 2.a_hash.chunk.js.LICENSE.txt
------ 2.a_hash.chunk.js.map
------ main.a_hash.chunk.js
------ main.a_hash.chunk.js.map
------ runtime-main.a_hash.chunk.js
------ runtime-main.a_hash.chunk.js.map
-- asset-manifest.json
-- favicon.ico
-- index.html
-- logo192.png
-- logo512.png
-- manifest.json
-- robots.txt

Note:

Even when I change my script to:

{
  "scripts": {
    "watch": "cra-build-watch -b ./build/static"
  }
}

it just makes the same directory structure as the first tree, except everything is in the ./build/static/ folder, not just the JavaScript and CSS (the CSS also never seems to appear?)

This is blocking me from releasing a feature to my django-manifest-loader package which will use cra-build-watch to help connect create-react-app to django. Would love to see a fix asap.

Sorry I don't have time to maintain this project anymore so I'll archive it and add a note in the README. Feel free to fork it as you see fit.
