Possible issue with webpack copy plugin

[frankandrobot]

What's wrong?

We use the webpack-copy-plugin to copy a fonts directory. As per this issue, the copy plugin can trigger infinite loops in the webpack watch process. The workaround is to explicitly ignore the files that change. In this case, we ignore public and fonts (as shown below). So in theory, it should work but it doesn't. And so there is a possibility that cosmos is ignoring the webpack watch ignore options:

 // webpack config
  // copy the folder
  plugins: [
    new CopyPlugin({
      patterns: [{ from: "public/fonts/", to: "fonts/" }],
    }),
  ],
  // don't watch these folders but this seems to be ignored
  watchOptions: {
    ignored: ["**/fonts/", "**/public/"],
  },

Steps to reproduce

1. Use the webpack copy plugin
2. Ignore the files that are copied
3. Make a change in cosmos, and watch webpack build forever :-)

So yea this was just a misunderstanding of how cosmos worked. Overriding the watch options via overridePath did the trick!
