Workbox: globPatterns not satisfied in workbox-webpack-plugin

[arthurmchr]

"workbox-webpack-plugin": "^3.0.0-beta.2"

node v9.6.1, npm v5.6.0, Mac OSX 10.13.3, webpack 3.11.0

Using this plugin, the option globPatterns is not satisfied.
With following webpack conf :

config.plugins.push(
    new InjectManifest({
        swSrc: './src/service-worker.js',
        globPatterns: ['**/*.{js,css}'],
    })
)

My service-worer.js file is the following one :

workbox.precaching.precacheAndRoute(self.__precacheManifest || [])

I am getting following precache-manifest.js file :

self.__precacheManifest = [
  {
    "revision": "44194c6682f0b35d9351c7a745196fb1",
    "url": "/dist/vue-ssr-client-manifest.json"
  },
  {
    "url": "/dist/vendor.9d294b4ae54092e1d95d.js"
  },
  {
    "url": "/dist/main.9d294b4ae54092e1d95d.js"
  },
  {
    "url": "/dist/common.4e40b1a9c312f552eb9c.css"
  },
  {
    "url": "/dist/1.9d294b4ae54092e1d95d.js"
  },
  {
    "url": "/dist/0.9d294b4ae54092e1d95d.js"
  }
];

I should not get first item in the manifest, "url": "/dist/vue-ssr-client-manifest.json"

Am I wrong ?

Hello @arthurmuchir—In v3, globPatterns only needs to be used if you want to precache additional assets that exist outside of the webpack build process: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/modules/workbox-webpack-plugin#cache_additional_non-webpack_assets

If you want to modify the webpack-generated assets that are precached, you can use the new include/exclude configuration options, documented at https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/modules/workbox-webpack-plugin#full_injectmanifest_config

So, for example, you could do:

new InjectManifest({
  swSrc: './src/service-worker.js',
  exclude: [/\.map$/, /manifest.*\.json$/],
})

(which is a slight tweak of the default setting, [/\.map$/, /^manifest.*\.js(?:on)?$/]).

Thanks for the explanation
