Generator-jhipster: Show console errors in overlay in browser window

Created on 20 Jun 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: jhipster/generator-jhipster
Overview of the feature request

An overlay for the browser window. This overlay would display errors, warnings, and logs from the console.

Motivation for or Use Case

During development it would be useful to beable to quickly glance at the browser window to see the output of the console. Especially with the fact browser-sync opens a new window with every start/restart of the build.

Asp.net javascript generator had this feature when I used it awhile ago. I found it really useful in quickly debugging problems.

I made the mistake that this was a feature specific to another spa generator.

It's a feature builtin to webpack - https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserver-overlay for future reference.

Sorry but this is not something we can take up, we are already overwhelmed with features.
