ng serve hangs up forever at 92% while processing additional asset using copy-webpack-plugin (Android OS / termux)

Got a workaround after digging deep into the ng serve capability: just got rid of the assets section in the angular.json file as follow: "assets": [], instead of "assets": [ "src/favicon.ico", "src/assets" ],

For some reason, the webpack plugin was unable to copy these two assets to the memory when ran under android/linux (although these two files exist in the file system). Will dig deep into this sometime, but for now this workaround will solve the problem.

UPDATE: turns out to be a matter of copying folders! for some reason copy-webpack-plugin is hanging when trying to copy an entire folder (src/assets for instance / or whatever folder). so the workaround would be to mention files by names instead and omitting whatever folder path in the asset section in the angular.json file. something like what's shown below would work like charm : "assets": [ "src/favicon.ico", "src/assets/vid.mp4", "src/assets_bis/data.dat ], Sound weird but i will no longer dig into this issue since what i've figured out so far has proven to be more than sufficient at this point.

As I followed the above answer and check the angular.json file , I found to have two assets array and then I changed both of them from "assets":["src/favicon.ico","src/assets"] to "assets":["src/favicon.ico"](NOTE: My assets directory was empty, so I skipped that. If you have some files in it mention it's name in both arrays) and then ran ng serve from the app's directory and it worked ! Thanks.
