HtmlWebpackPlugin use property chunks renders htmlWebpackPlugin.files.css empty

I have the following settings in my webpack.config.js.

I use chunks because I need the produced bundles to come in a specific order.

And the below setting works, but my bundled css is not found in htmlWebpackPlugin.files.css anymore.

plugins: [
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
    filename: path.join(__dirname, '/dist/app/index.html'),
    favicon: 'assets/favicon.ico',

    chunks: [
      'scripts/jquery.js',
      'scripts/angular.js',
      'scripts/angular-animate.js',
      'scripts/uirouter.js',
      'scripts/app.js',
    ],
    chunksSortMode: 'manual',

    hash: true,
    inject: false,
    title: 'App',
    template: path.join(__dirname, '/index.template'),
  }),
];

My template looks as following

<% for (var item in htmlWebpackPlugin.files.css) { %>
<link href="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.css[item] %>" rel="stylesheet">
<% } %> <-------------- empty when I use chunks

<% for (var item in htmlWebpackPlugin.options.chunks ) { %>
<script src="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.chunks[item] %>"></script>
<% } %> <-------------- works, but the output does not have any hash

Moreover when I use chunks it makes the hash property useless since it does not post fix file names with hash anymore.

Is it that suppose to work like that? That is, if I use chunks then I need to include the bundled css file in there as well?

Updated

Added a small example which produces the issue I'm wondering about

There is no need to specify the chunks (nor the order), webpack will use the import order as the order of the chunks.

So, if you remove chunks & chunksSortMode & inject: false, the HtmlWebpackPlugin will inject the files properly.

I've made a PR to your repo with the fix.
