running 'npx webpack server' on a successfully build webpack bundle, the output when an error occurs does not tell me much (Error: 'wrong tag' deep inside the webpack dev server code), where do you look to see more info/details? Here is the output:

npx webpack serve

(node:31820) [DEP_WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_HTTPS] DeprecationWarning: 'https' option is deprecated. Please use the 'server' option.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

<w> [webpack-dev-server] "hot: true" automatically applies HMR plugin, you don't have to add it manually to your webpack configuration.

See https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserverhttps. This option is deprecated in favor of devServer.server option.

change your local webpack configuration from:

devServer: {
  ...,
  https: {
    cert: ...,
    key: ...,
  },
},

into:

devServer {
  ...,
  server: {
    type: 'https',
    options: {
      cert: ...,
      key: ...,
    },
  },
},
