webpack-fail-plugin

library2.0.0jsnpmunverified

Webpack plugin that ensures the build process exits with a non-zero exit code when compilation errors occur in single-run mode. Current version 2.0.0 (last release) is deprecated because Webpack 2+ natively exits with an error code on failures. This plugin was a workaround for Webpack 1.x where errors did not propagate correctly. No active development; the package is effectively in maintenance mode for legacy Webpack 1.x projects. For Webpack 2+, the built-in behavior should be sufficient.
