Cannot Parse Compiler Message in terminal output about repack

[zamotany]

Cannot parse compiler worker message is not strictly an issue that would affect anything. LoggerPlugin is to capture logs from Webpack and other plugins (which are using Webpack's logging), but if you want to get rid of it the error, there are 2 options:

The raw method:

console.log({
  timestamp: Date.now(),
  issuer: '<something_easily_identifiable>',
  type: 'info', // or: 'debug' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error'
  message: ['<your message>'],
});

Or:

const logger = new LoggerPlugin();
console.log(
  logger.createEntry(
    '<something_easily_identifiable>',
    'info', // or: 'debug' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error',
    ['<your message>']
  )
)

It's not ideal, but has to do for now. We might revisit it later to make it easier.

Thanks for the response - yeah the bundle works etc. so this isn't a blocking issue for me, it just makes the console output hard to read.

Unfortunately in this case I don't always have control over the code that's calling console.log. In particular, I'm using speed-measure-webpack-plugin to profile why my bundler is slow and it's generating output like this:

Since the actual logs are not in my code, I can't manipulate the call site as you've suggested above.

Based on the docs you could pass outputTarget:

outputTarget: (...args) => {
  console.log({
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    issuer: 'speed-measure-webpack-plugin',
    type: 'info',
    message: args,
  });
}

Have you tried it?
