Replace pretty-error?

[honzajavorek]

I don't know how important pretty-error is for the functionality of html-webpack-plugin, but it has some serious licensing issues down its dependencies: AriaMinaei/RenderKid#8

It seems to me @fb55's dependencies and the css-select project act as a single point of failure in such a successful project as html-webpack-plugin is. Even if you don't care about licensing, it's apparently naive to expect the dependencies will ever get updated, bugs fixed, etc.

The html-webpack-plugin allows you to use very complex templates and even pure javascript code as a template (just use a .js file). If the evaluation of this code fails I tried to provide as much useful information as possible and came across pretty error.

However the current pretty error integration has definitely some room for improvements - maybe @AriaMinaei could take a look at the current implementation.

@honzajavorek Can you recommend a similar solution?

[AriaMinaei]

This is important. I'm looking for a replacement for css-select now. Will ping you guys here once it's done.

@AriaMinaei thank you very much

[jantimon]

@AriaMinaei any news? :)

[AriaMinaei]

Not yet. Trying to find the time to do this :)
