Vue-loader: Completely ignoring .postcssrc.js

[warent]

Version

13.0.4

Reproduction link

https://github.com/warent/vue-loader-bug1

Steps to reproduce

1. npm install
2. npm run build
3. npm start

What is expected?

Should throw an error because .postcssrc.js has bogus data

What is actually happening?

Everything runs fine

[warent]

By the way this is a fresh vue init from the webpack template. No changes except to .postcssrc.js

So why should .postcssrc.js be ignored here?

[LinusBorg]

It seems it was a conscious decision to catch and swallow that error:

https://github.com/vuejs/vue-loader/blob/master/lib/style-compiler/load-postcss-config.js#L14

But I'm not sure what was a wise decision.

[Justineo]

Oh I misunderstood this earlier.

I don't think it's good to completely ignoring errors, but now we only have an error message to tell if the error is a bearable one. Depending on 'No PostCSS Config found' may seem ugly but it works for the current issue IMO.

[warent]

Yes, please reconsider swallowing errors. I wasted several hours on this very simple issue bedeviling me because I wasn't getting any error indicating something was wrong, which means others might have a similar experience

[LinusBorg]

yeah, I think we should do something about this.

A PR would also be welcome, of course :)

Just simply wrapped a error message #1095
Hope to be helpful.
Thanks.
