Webpack: Debugging build scripts (not the app)

I would like to debug the webpack scripts , not the produced app !

How can I configure the build scripts to be launched / used by a node debugger such as devtool ?

The webpack binary you run is just JavaScript, so you can debug it like any other script you run. When you install webpack, a symlink ./node_modules/.bin/webpack is added that refers to webpack.js. You can run the node debugger with:

node debug ./node_modules/.bin/webpack [options]

Or if you want to use Chrome devtools you add the --inspect flag:

node debug --inspect ./node_modules/.bin/webpack [options]
