webpack-processor-notifier

A plugin to notify of the success or failure of a webpack build. It allows to be passed as processor. When using the optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin I couldn't get the webpack-build-notifier to work on CSS errors. It seems this plugin doesn't call the proper error callback (or one of it's dependencies). The notification uses node-notifier, you can refer to it for the configuration of icons and sounds.

Using it directly

You can use this plugin as a build success/failure notifier. Configure it in your webpack.config.js (below is for a MS Windows machine):

1const WebpackProcessorNotifier = require('webpack-processor-notifier');
2module.exports = {
3    // ...
4    plugins: [
5        new WebpackProcessorNotifier({
6                buildType: 'Some build type',
7                iconPath: 'D:/media/',
8                infoIcon: 'hero.png',
9                errorIcon: 'yolo.png',
10                infoSound: 'Notification.Looping.Call',
11                errorSound: 'Notification.Looping.Alarm4'
12            })
13    ]
14    // ...
15}

Using it under a processor

Currently tested only with css-nano

1const WebpackProcessorNotifier = require('webpack-processor-notifier');
2const cssnano = require('css-nano');
3
4module.exports = {
5    // ...
6    plugins: [
7        new OptimizeCSSAssetsPlugin({
8            cssProcessor: new WebpackProcessorNotifier({
9                buildType: "CSS",
10                processor: cssnano
11            }),
12            cssProcessorOptions: {
13                discardComments: {
14                    removeAll: true,
15                },
16                safe: false
17            }
18        })
19    ]
20    // ...
21}
