Current behavior

    ServeStaticModule.forRoot({
      rootPath: frontendPath,
      exclude: ['', '/', '/events'],
    }),

This config still serves my files on the base path of my application, even though i excluded it. It works correctly when calling /events.

Expected behavior

I'd expect no static serving when requesting http://localhost:4200/

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

I'm using angular to render the other routes.

@Module({
  imports: [
    AngularUniversalModule.forRoot({
      bootstrap: AppServerModule,
      viewsPath: frontendPath,
      renderPath: '*',
    }),
    ServeStaticModule.forRoot({
      rootPath: frontendPath,
      exclude: ['', '/', '/events'],
    }),
  ],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService],
})

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I'd like my angular app to handle the root route

This is not the intended use case for this package. Using the ServeStaticModule in combination with the AngularUniversalModule which sort of already embeds the ServeStaticModule behavior doesn't make too much sense.
