We use VS Code for basically everything on the frontend, and one of my small annoyances was that errors don't show up on the terminal tab when running Webpack in watch mode.
It turns out this can be solved with an extension that adds a problemMatcher for the task in VS Code! Yay! Unfortunately, the extension didn't work with our bizarro setup, or it was out-of-date. Boo. However, the error matching itself was spot on.
I was determined now, and figured out that all we need to do to fix the extension is to set up a new regular expression for it to determine when it should start looking for errors. Once I did that, the tabs turn red when our code has an issue. 🪄
