having trouble getting webpack to emit my images

I have a large project that I'm trying to convert to using the webpack build system. I'm close, but I'm hitting one issue.



I created a git repository to demonstrate my issue:



https://github.com/scottschafer/webpack-image-issue.git



My CSS (and LESS) use url() references like so:



body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
background-image: url('/assets/images/example.png');
}


This doesn't emit the 'example.png' file, and the image fails to load.



If I manually import the image like so in my index.ts file, the file is emitted, and it's loaded:
import '@src/assets/images/example.png';



How can I fix this so that my CSS url references are automatically recognized and emitted?
