quasar build -m bex can't produced dist/bex/Package directory on @quasar/app-webpack-v3.5.0

[swtanggara]

What happened?

This issue is related to #12969. Sorry if I'm late testing and reporting it with @quasar/app-webpack-v3.4.7 release and just report this on @quasar/app-webpack-v3.5.0. But I found that the error still exist--with the same reproduction method.

With the current @quasar/app-webpack-v3.5.0, I've tried to fix this on my local machine and edit file [src]/[@quasar]/app-webpack/lib/webpack/bex/plugin.bex-packager.js on node_modules directory, change line 2 from:

const path = require('path')
const fse = require('fs')

into:

const path = require('path')
const fse = require('fs-extra')

and it seems the quasar build -m bex command run correctly then.

What did you expect to happen?

With my workaround above I'm pretty happy with the result. Please don't bother with my problem report. I am very pleased with your work that has made this framework so amazing.
