With node target, Bluebird promise doesn't work because webpack uses package.json browser field instead of main field

I’m submitting a bug report

Webpack version: 2.x

Please tell us about your environment: OSX 10.x

Current behavior:

With node target, Bluebird promise doesn’t work because webpack uses package.json browser field instead of main field.

1. Create entry.js that uses bluebird and promisifyAll -

var Promise = require("bluebird");
var fs = Promise.promisifyAll(require("fs"))

1. Run webpack with output.target = 'node' and output.pathinfo = true
2. Open up bundle.js and search for bluebird.js

EXPECTING: Since I set the target as node, Webpack should have included ~/bluebird/js/release/bluebird.js.

ACTUAL: Webpack incorrectly included ~/bluebird/js/browser/bluebird.js.

If you look at https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird/blob/master/package.json there is a browser and a main field.

In addition, if you run node bundle.js you’ll get the following exception -

makeNodePromisified(key, THIS, key, fn, suffix, multiArgs); ^

TypeError: makeNodePromisified is not a function at promisifyAll (…) at Function.e.24.module.exports.Promise.promisifyAll (…)

It appears that target: 'electron-main' suffers the same issue and included the browser version not the node version.

I have the same problem and I have target=‘node’ (in the config file not CLI though). @TheLarkInn I don’t see the update to this response.
