Feature Request: After a failure, show a message on success

[ArtskydJ]

When I use watchify, I'll sometimes get a parse error:

> watchify js/index.js -d -o public/bundle.js

Error: Parsing file C:\Users\Michael\Github\slideshow\js\index.js: Unexpected token (34:2)

I don't always see the error right away, and when I see it, I'm not sure if it was the most recent compile, or if it was fixed since... I would like to have it show a message like Success! when the issue is fixed.

Any thoughts on this? Would a PR be accepted?

You can use the -v switch to print a message every time the build completed successfully.

Because I tend to reflexively save often, a message every time is a bit much.

I'll probably start enabling the -v switch for my npm watch scripts.

Perhaps this requested feature is opinionated/out of scope. I'll close this issue. If a maintainer feels that it is in scope, feel free to re-open this issue, and I might make a PR.

You might like these:

• errorify - a plugin that shows errors in the DOM (as well as console)
• budo - a more complete/opinionated tool built on top of watchify, which also shows syntax errors in the browser
