Not generating ouput with multiple entries

[superandrew]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

What is the current behavior?
I need to define two pages with two different entry points, as suggested here https://medium.com/a-beginners-guide-for-webpack-2/multi-page-applications-4ae2ebfabc37

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
I am using jhipster's webpack, so this is my configuration

this is the configuration that fails

dev:
https://gist.github.com/superandrew/5f65ab0d1a5b4c406d8fb1f3a7accbd0

What is the expected behavior?
I want the plugin to generate in /build/www two files, index.html and lab.html. index.html should contain chunks polyfills, vendor and main, lab polyfills, vendor and lab

The output is

Child html-webpack-plugin for "build/www/index.html":
     1 asset
    [./node_modules/html-webpack-plugin/lib/loader.js!./src/main/webapp/index.html] ./node_modules/html-webpack-plugin/lib/loader.js!./src/main/webapp/index.html 880 bytes {0} [built]
            factory:361ms building:865ms = 1226ms
Child html-webpack-plugin for "build/www/lab.html":
     2 assets
    [./node_modules/html-webpack-plugin/lib/loader.js!./src/main/webapp/lab.html] ./node_modules/html-webpack-plugin/lib/loader.js!./src/main/webapp/lab.html 676 bytes {0} [built]
            factory:148ms building:1113ms = 1261ms
    [./src/main/webapp/lab/assets/images/ng-book-2-minibook.png] ./src/main/webapp/lab/assets/images/ng-book-2-minibook.png 90 bytes {0} [built]
           [] -> factory:3397ms building:622ms = 4019ms
webpack: Compiled with warnings.

but no html file is generated.

The only way to have the plugin generate a file is this:

 new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
                template: './src/main/webapp/index.html',
                chunksSortMode: 'dependency',
                inject: 'body'
            }),

However this generates only the last one if I put two plugins, so I get with and index.html with the content of lab.html or index.html depending on who's last in the plugin array.

If this is a feature request, what is motivation or use case for changing the behavior?

Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, webpack version and Operating System.
I'm on Mac Os 13, the browser isn't involved, and node is v8.

Thanks for your report. It would be great if you reduce your issue to a small reproducible example. Best put this example into a github repository together with instructions how to get to the problem.

there's trick patches, maybe helpful for you.

btw, if you wanna use full dynamics path in your project, you may hack the html-template, css backaground url by yourself.
