How to use this with 'phantomjs-prebuilt' ?

[StefH]

My project (https://github.com/StefH/angular-odata-es5) uses phantomjs-prebuilt instead of phantomjs.exe.

Will this work ?
And if this will work, how to configure it ?

You can use phantomjs-prebuilt since it uses PhantomJS version 2.1.1
I believe it installs executable in node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/ so if you want to use that executable to debug PhantomJS JavaScripts you just need to tell that to debugger, for instance your launch.json might look like this (on Windows):

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch",
            "type": "phantomjs",
            "request": "launch",
            "file": "${workspaceRoot}/test.js",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs.exe",
            "runtimeArgs": [],
            "scriptArgs": [],
            "sourceMaps": true
        }
    ]
}

Indeed, the location should be ${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs.exe.

However, in my application, webpack does not really compile to disk?
So that "file": "${workspaceRoot}/test/entry.ts" will not work.

{
            "name": "Launch phantomjs",
            "type": "phantomjs",
            "request": "launch",
            "file": "test/entry.ts",
            "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs.exe",
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "sourceMapPathOverrides": {
                "webpack:///./*": "${workspaceRoot}/*"
            }
}

Error message is like:

SyntaxError: Use of reserved word 'import'

It is possible to debug TypeScripts but your entry-point ("file:" parameter) has to be JavaScript file, in your example test/entry.js. Also there is a limitation that all your js and ts files have to be in the same directory, so you can't really rely on sourceMapPathOverrides.
