ERROR in Error: Child compilation failed: Module build failed: Error: The path for file doesn't contain relativeTo param

Not sure if this is the original issue, but for me my test for /\.html/ was also picking my index.html file from my html-webpack-plugin. Putting an exclude: /index.html/ did it for me. You may have to adjust the exclude if you have other files names index.html, but the basic gist is:

module.exports = {
  ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        exclude: /index\.html/,
        test: /\.html$/,
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'ngtemplate-loader',
            options: {
              relativeTo: './src'
            }
          },
          { loader: 'html-loader' }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  ...
}

Hi @karthikdeva , have you solved this issue?

This seems to be a problem with the combination of this loader and HtmlWebpackPlugin. The index file used by HtmlWebpackPlugin throws errors unless it is excluded, as @nickbreaton pointed out. However, excluding index.html means that any references in that file will not be required.

@nickbreaton It worked for me, thanks!

Is this maybe only windows problem?

No, I have linux and experiencing same issue.
