Js-lingui: how to debug exception in compile process?

There is command line history:

landsman@X230:~/projects/company/web$ npm run extract

There must be a problem with some key in locales file, but I don't know how to degug it.

Implementation is good, it worked before few changes in locale files.

Can you please provide me some steps how to debug this process?
Is there some better way how to find bad row in my locales file?

Thanks

So, I debugged that.

There was problem with commented translate which was only in one of two locales.
I probably deleted this obsolete translate from one of locale and forgott it in second one.

Next problem was that this key was translated directly in msgid not in msgstr. Thanks this lingui searched this key in original language - moment of exception.
