Summary

#22881 gave the CSS and HTML parsers a parseError callback; nothing in a build used it, so a malformed stylesheet or page built silently. This adds parseErrors (off by default) to module.parser.css (and css/auto, css/module, css/global) and module.parser.html:

module: { parser: { css: { parseErrors: true }, html: { parseErrors: true } } }

Each parse error becomes a module warning, or a module error where end of input cuts a token, rule, tag or comment short, with its code and location:

Source Before After
.b { content: "oops + newline nothing warning CSS parse error: newline-in-string (5:…)
/* never closed at EOF nothing error CSS parse error: eof-in-comment
<p>a</div> nothing warning HTML parse error: unexpected-end-tag (2:4-10)
<!-- never closed at EOF nothing error HTML parse error: eof-in-comment

process() now takes parseError for both languages. HTML's print path re-parses its own output to check it; that parse drops the callback, so only the source's errors are reported.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

feat

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes: test/configCases/css/parse-errors/ and test/configCases/html/parse-errors/ (a warning, an error, and a file a rule turns the option off for), and a print-path case in test/unitCases/html/printer.unittest.js.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No. The option is off by default.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

module.parser.css.parseErrors and module.parser.html.parseErrors (since 5.113.0) on the options page.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an optional parseErrors setting for CSS and HTML parsing. When enabled, parser diagnostics are included in build output with source locations.
    • Severe issues, such as unterminated comments or tags, are reported as build errors; recoverable parsing issues are reported as warnings.
    • Error reporting is off by default and can be enabled or disabled for individual parser configurations.

`module.parser.css.parseErrors` and `module.parser.html.parseErrors`,
off by default, report each parse error the syntax parser finds as a
module error where end of input cuts a token, rule, tag or comment short,
and as a module warning otherwise, with its code and location.

`process()` takes `parseError` for both languages; HTML's print-path
verification parse drops it, so only the source's own errors are seen.

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.

No asset that both runs emit changed size — everything below is new or deleted.

Walkthrough

The change adds opt-in CSS and HTML parse-error reporting through webpack options. Enabled diagnostics become located module errors or warnings. Configuration and unit tests cover truncated input, recoverable errors, disabled reporting, and HTML print verification.

Changes: CSS and HTML parser diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parser option contracts
.changeset/041-syntax-parse-error-option.md, declarations/WebpackOptions.ts, schemas/WebpackOptions.json
Adds parseErrors options for CSS and HTML parser configurations. The option descriptions distinguish truncated-input errors from recoverable warnings.
CSS diagnostic reporting
lib/css/syntax-parser.js, lib/css/CssParser.js, test/configCases/css/parse-errors/*
When parseErrors is enabled, CSS parse diagnostics are mapped to located module errors or warnings. Configuration tests cover truncated input, recoverable input, and disabled reporting.
HTML diagnostic reporting and verification
lib/html/HtmlParser.js, lib/html/syntax-parser.js, lib/html/syntax-printer.js, test/configCases/html/parse-errors/*, test/unitCases/html/printer.unittest.js
When enabled, HTML diagnostics are mapped to located module errors or warnings. The print-verification parse omits the source diagnostic callback. Tests cover truncated and recoverable input, disabled reporting, and print verification.

Possibly related PRs

  • webpack/webpack#22881: Adds the parseError callbacks to CSS and HTML syntax parsers that this PR passes through process() and converts into webpack diagnostics.
  • webpack/webpack#22903: Changes HTML print-path verification; this PR disables the diagnostic callback during the verification parse.

⚠️ 117 benchmarks are dominated by system calls

System calls cannot be simulated consistently and are left out of the measure. The reported value understates the real cost. Switch to the Walltime instrument to measure them.
