npm-debug.log not generated on error

According to the npm docs "On failure, all logs are written to npm-debug.log in the current working directory." however on build error I don't get a log file written. Current settings

$>npm config list

cwd = /home/me/mynodeapp
HOME = /home/me

$>npm config ls -l

loglevel = "warn"

webpack.config.js

var config = {
  loglevel: 'silly',
  entry: {
    app: './myapp/start.js'
  },
  output: {
    ...
  },
};
module.exports = config;

package.json

{
{ "name" : "myapp",
  "main": "start.js",
   "scripts": {
    "build": "rm -rf ./output/ && NODE_ENV=production node node_modules/.bin/webpack",
  },
  ...
}

then on npm run build I get an error:

ERROR in ./myapp/start.js
Module build failed: TypeError: ....

But no npm-debug.log file was generated in/home/me/mynodeapp (directory from which I can npm install and npm run build, and the cwd according to npm config). NB I am the owner of the directory and subdirectories and have write permission. Any ideas?

That's kinda strange why its not getting you an npm log. Maybe try something like this when you run your command: npm run build 2>&1 > npm_error_log.txt. This will output stderr and stdout to a file for easy reading.
