Run customWebpackConfig in Angular 13

I recently updated to Angular 13 from Angular 11 with the latest gratest packages of all components I need and I'm struggling to get the custom-webpack angular builder to run when I perform ng serve.

In my scenario, I perform the CSS optimization through the custom web pack plugin CSS Purge therefore it's critical for me to have it working and I'm sure it's possible. If I ng build --configuration production however, it works like a charm and angular.json does not moan at all.

The main issue I have when I perform ng serve is that I get the following error:

Schema validation failed with the following errors:
  Data path "" must NOT have additional properties(customWebpackConfig).

The current angular.json file has the following setup:

    {

        }
      }
    }
  },
  "defaultProject": "newwebsite-app",
  "cli": {
    "analytics": false
  }
}

Now note that in order to migrate, at least in my case to Angular 13.0.2, I had to remove the "extractCss: true" bit because I got an error related to that (instead I added the inlineCriticalCss option), I did put the buildOptimizer: false in the browser part otherwise it will not work just with aot: false, fair enough, BUT I can't get the webpack running when I do ng serve.

The package.json dependencies I have:

    "ts-node": "10.1.0",
    "tslint": "6.1.3",
    "typescript": "4.4.3"
  }

Note that prior the migration I have had everything working fine. This just seems to be happening when I update the custom-webpack library which it seems I have to I want to run the latest packages. If I take a look at its documentation here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular-builders/custom-webpack#Custom-webpack-browser To me the syntax looks fine therefore I don't know how to solve this issue - apart from raising it on the project webpage.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

UPDATE!

Actually found out what was happening by comparing my angular.json against the thread here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61768757/5293466 and in the serve section I had to remove the customWebpackConfig stuff. Then everything started working!!!

step 1: npm install --save-dev @angular-builders/[email protected] step 2: Open angular.json in your code editor. Inside of the architect/build object, update the builder from @angular-devkit/build-angular:browser to @angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser and add the customWebpackConfig key:
