The base options for src aren't being honored

[ssartell]

Even when my files are in folders below the assets path, the output is always spit out to the assets path. For example, if my assets path is '/assets/' and my entry point is at '/assets/js/main.js', the output should be back in the js folder, but it's always in the assets folder.

function compileWebpack() {
    return gulp.src(config.webpack.entryPoints, { base: config.paths.assets })
        .pipe(webpack({
            output: {
                filename: '[name].bundle.js'
            },
            devtool: '#source-map'
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(config.paths.assets));
}

How would you set a base if you're unable to pipe into webpack-stream? Sometimes that is the case due to the way webpack’s config works, e.g.:

webpackStream({
    entry: {
        main: './public-src/js/main.js',
        vendor: ['virtual-dom', 'vdom-virtualize']
    },
    output: { filename: '[name]-bundle.js' },
    devtool: 'source-map',
    plugins: [ new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({ name: 'vendor', filename: 'vendor-bundle.js' }) ]
})

You cannot remove the entry and instead pipe a file into this stream because, without entry, webpack gets confused by the config.

So do we need a way of setting base when you can't use gulp.src?
