Excluding directories does not work about terser-webpack-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

@david-polak because exclude option use processed assets (not sources). It is impossible exclude source modules.

@david-polak it is impossible. Why? Because webpack bundle your modules in chunks (js files) and when pass their through minificator. If you find bug in minimicator (i.e. terser) better to create issue in https://github.com/terser-js/terser. Why minification don't uses on modules - it is inefficient.

@nullromo You can't disable minification for some modules, if you need it you can open an issue in terser repo about:

/*! terser-ignore-start */
// ... code
/*! terser-ignore-end */

I am running into the same issue. @evilebottnawi When I run webpack with minification turned off, my code works. When I run it with minification on, it doesn't. For this reason, I want to be able to turn off minification for only those modules which Terser breaks.

@evilebottnawi is there a way to exclude sources? I am building an app that outputs HTML+JavaScript files and Terser mangles my template JS files badly, until now I've been 'solving' the issue by not minimizing my code at all.
