Angular2 + webpack do not deploy robots.txt

Question

I am creating a web site with Angular2@2.1.2. I am using Webpack with default settings (as a dependency).

Here is my package.json

\"dependencies\": {

I made this work with Angular6.

Place your robots.txt in the src folder, the same folder as the favicon.ico.

In your angular.json file

              "assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets",
              "src/robots.txt"
            ],

You may need to ng serve again, then point to http://localhost:4200/robots.txt

This will only work if you are not catching all unknown routes (path:'**') in your router module(s).
