How do I group several tokens to pass as a single value to an npm package parameter?

I am trying to set up an npm script to run a package called

office-addin-debugging

office-addin-debugging

. This starts up an Office add-in web app configured for debugging. By default it starts up a web server with the

webpack serve --mode development

webpack serve --mode development

command.

I need it to start the dev server with a

webpack serve --mode development --config webpack.config.ie11.js

webpack serve --mode development --config webpack.config.ie11.js

command. Now the

office-addin-debugging

office-addin-debugging

package does have a

--web-server

--web-server

parameter where you are supposed to be able to pass a command that it will use instead of the default.

So far I have the following npm script that does not work:

"startie11": "office-addin-debugging start manifest.xml --dev-server 'webpack serve --config webpack.config.ie11.js'"

"startie11": "office-addin-debugging start manifest.xml --dev-server 'webpack serve --config webpack.config.ie11.js'"

As you may notice I have tried to use single quotes to group together all the tokens that I want to pass as the

web-server

web-server

parameter, but this doesn't work. When I run this script I get the error:

error: unknown option '--config'

error: unknown option '--config'

So it seems that npm is seeing

--options

--options

as an invalid parameter of the

office-addin-debugging

office-addin-debugging

package and not part of the command line I wish to pass to the

dev-server

dev-server

parameter.
