webpackOptions.output.publicPath should be configurable

[sechel]

Hi there,

some time ago (in 0616dda) you decided to switch from a static webpackOptions.output.publicPath, i.e., /_karma_webpack_/... to a dynamic, but existing on disk, temporary folder on the system.

This poses problems to my setup as I am testing OAuth2 consent flow using the real-world endpoints. In this setup I cannot use a dynamic redirect URLs as the redirect_url has to be registered with the identity provider in advance and has to match literally.

Here is a suggestion: Why not make the value inserted before _karma_webpack_ here
https://github.com/webpack-contrib/karma-webpack/blob/1ac16eaa7b11ee154a2127d4f03cbfd1a81533f6/src/karma-webpack.js#L64
configurable?

Greetings
Stefan

Has there been any progress on this?

+1 I would like the output path to be configurable as well. Would you accept PRs ?

I would welcome a PR!

Thanks for fixing it in 4.0.0-rc.2. 😀

Nevertheless would it be great to have the parameter configurable.

Closing as this is possible in 5.0.0 and has unit tests to prove that the publicPath is passed along.
