Webpack "Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../webfonts/fa-solid-900.eot' "

Question

I successfully configured webpack for js and sass. It works well until I import font into scss file. I will try to show it in code below.

My webpack config

const path = require('path');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin = require('optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin');
const MinifyPlugin = require('babel-minify-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
    optimization: {
        minimizer: [new OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin({})],
    },
    entry: path.resolve(__dirname + '/public/src/js/adminMain.js'),
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname + '/public/dist/'),
        filename: 'adminBundle.js'
    },
    module: {
        rules: [{
            test: /\.js$/,
            exclude: /(node_modules)/,
            use: {
                loader: 'babel-loader',
                options: {
                    presets: ['@babel/preset-env']
                }
            },
            test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/,
            use: [{
                    loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader
                }, {
                    loader: "css-loader",
                },
                {
                    loader: "postcss-loader"
                },
                {
                    loader: "sass-loader",
                    options: {
                        implementation: require("sass")
                    }
                }
            ]
        }]
    },
    plugins: [

        new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
            filename: "adminBundle.css"
        }),
        new MinifyPlugin()

    ]


};

Admin.scss

// Variables
@import "./variables/admin.scss";
@import "./fontawesome.min.css";
@import "./solid.scss";

ALL OTHER NORMAL CSS.....

And this is solid.scss

/*!

 * License - https://fontawesome.com/license/free (Icons: CC BY 4.0, Fonts: SIL OFL 1.1, Code: MIT License)
 */
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 900;
  font-display: auto;
  src: url("../webfonts/fa-solid-900.eot");
  src: url("../webfonts/fa-solid-900.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("../webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff2") format("woff2"), url("../webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff") format("woff"), url("../webfonts/fa-solid-900.ttf") format("truetype"), url("../webfonts/fa-solid-900.svg#fontawesome") format("svg"); }

.fa,
.fas {
  font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
  font-weight: 900; }

Well, visual studio code plugin watch-sass can resolve it without problems. But now i am using instead webpack. When I didn't import solid.scss it works well but when I import solid.scss I am starting getting errors probably it cant works with fonts files. But I don't know how to fix it. I will be thankful for any advice.

This is example of error

 ERROR in ./public/src/css/admin.scss (./node_modules/css-loader/dist/cjs.js!./node_modules/postcss-loader/src!./node_modules/sass-loader/lib/loader.js??ref--4-3!./public/src/css/admin.scss)

It works !!!

webpack.config.js

const path = require('path');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require("mini-css-extract-plugin");
const OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin = require('optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin');

Just needed to do some changes in scss files and now it works. {$fa-font-path} is the key. Why just cant be anything in webdev easy.
