rollup-plugin-notify

library1.1.0jsnpmunverified

A Rollup plugin that displays build errors as native OS system notifications. Version 1.1.0 is the latest stable release; the package is in maintenance mode with no active development. It requires Rollup >=0.60.0 and depends on node-notifier internally. Unlike build logs, this plugin allows developers working in watch mode to see errors immediately without switching terminal windows. It extracts file, code snippet, and position from Rollup errors (including Babel) and formats them into concise 4-line notifications.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default export

✓ import notify from 'rollup-plugin-notify'

✗ import { notify } from 'rollup-plugin-notify'

The package exports a single default function; named import will not work.

TypeScript usage

✓ import notify from 'rollup-plugin-notify'; // no types included

✗ import notify = require('rollup-plugin-notify')

Package does not ship TypeScript declarations; use @types/rollup-plugin-notify is unavailable.

CommonJS require

✓ const notify = require('rollup-plugin-notify').default

✗ const notify = require('rollup-plugin-notify')

If using CommonJS (e.g., in rollup.config.js with require), the default export is under .default

Basic Rollup configuration to show OS notifications on build errors.

// rollup.config.js import notify from 'rollup-plugin-notify'; export default { input: 'src/index.js', output: { file: 'dist/bundle.js', format: 'iife' }, plugins: [ notify() ] };

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPeer dependency rollup@^1.4.1, but Rollup is now at v4. The plugin may not work correctly with newer versions.

fix

Consider using a more up-to-date notification plugin or fork.

affects: >=1.1.0

gotchaNotifications only appear on build errors, not warnings or info messages.

fix

Use other Rollup plugins for warning/log notifications.

affects: <=1.1.0

gotchaOn some Linux desktop environments, notifications may not work or require additional configuration of node-notifier.

fix

Check node-notifier documentation for Linux support.

affects: <=1.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'node-notifier'

node-notifier is a dependency of rollup-plugin-notify, but sometimes not installed correctly.

fix

Run 'npm install' in your project root; if problem persists, add node-notifier explicitly: npm install --save-dev node-notifier

TypeError: notify is not a function

Importing the package incorrectly (named import instead of default).

fix

Change to: import notify from 'rollup-plugin-notify' (or const notify = require('rollup-plugin-notify').default)

Error: Rollup version mismatch. rollup-plugin-notify requires rollup ^1.4.1

Installed Rollup version is incompatible.

fix

Downgrade Rollup to version 1.x, or use an alternative plugin.
