Pre-flight checklist

  • The Contributing Guidelines on pull requests were checked during preparation.
  • If this is a code change: I have written unit tests to verify the behavior.
  • New API or substantial change: not applicable; this restores diagnostic information already present in bundler stats.

Motivation

When a source file cannot be parsed, both Webpack and Rspack provide its name in error stats, but the CLI drops that information.

Format each diagnostic first, then prepend its readable moduleName and loc, falling back to file. This keeps module-resolution details and Sass installation guidance: prepending the source before cleanup shifts the line positions that the legacy formatter relies on. Syntax-error filtering and warning formatting keep their existing implementation, and errors without source metadata retain their existing formatting.

For example, a parse failure now identifies ./src/thing.xyz. A missing buffer import still includes Webpack's resolve.fallback guidance.

Test Plan

Follow-up validated on macOS with Node.js 26.13.0 and pnpm 12.3.4, against upstream c00f04e2376e057090d65d6bfb6a82d49ea3eca6, at 1778308ff6bf82097974448acc21536380fa444d:

  • pnpm test packages/docusaurus-bundler/src/__tests__/compiler.test.ts: all 12 tests passed. Coverage includes source/location selection, missing metadata, multiple errors, syntax filtering, multiline resolution diagnostics, Sass guidance, and real Webpack/Rspack parse and resolution failures.
  • The submitted implementation failed 3 of the new regressions, including a real Webpack compile that lost its polyfill guidance. A mutation moving source enrichment back before cleanup also failed those 3 tests; the fixed source was restored exactly and rechecked.
  • pnpm --filter @docusaurus/bundler build, pnpm typecheck:tests, pnpm --filter website typecheck, pnpm lint and git diff --check passed. Lint reports existing warnings and no errors.
  • The standalone branch's full suite passed 3,234 tests and failed the same 6 existing blog feed directory-tree snapshots. The HFS+ checkout returns canonically equivalent decomposed Unicode in héllô. No blog files, fixtures or snapshots are changed here; test(blog): normalize feed tree filenames in snapshots (AI-assisted) #12937 addresses those comparisons.

A separate local integration check at b4c9fb31647d970e7de1408a6f9acf6cc76d1cc6 combined this head with #12935 and #12937: all 3,241 tests across 207 files, all 36 package builds, test/website typechecks and full lint passed. This is compatibility evidence for the combined changes; it does not claim that this standalone branch fixes the blog snapshots. Hosted CI must validate the updated PR head.

Test links

Deploy preview: https://deploy-preview-12936--docusaurus-2.netlify.app/.

No browser UI changes. The real compilation checks are in packages/docusaurus-bundler/src/__tests__/compiler.test.ts. Other operating systems have not been tested locally.

Related issues/PRs

Fixes #9023.

#9091 improved MDX loader stack traces without fixing this CLI diagnostic issue. #10956 brought the legacy formatter into this repository. This patch adds source metadata after its diagnostic cleanup.

Addresses the review about preserving diagnostic lines.

AI assistance: the patch, tests and description were prepared with Codex (AI-assisted). Validation and code review were performed sequentially in the same agent session; no independent human review is claimed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Build errors now include the relevant source file or module and location when available, making failures easier to identify. Errors without source details remain readable, and existing guidance for module-resolution and Sass issues is preserved.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for error formatting and build diagnostics across supported bundlers.

Walkthrough

The formatter now adds a source name and optional location to each formatted error. Tests cover formatting behavior and verify that webpack and rspack errors identify the relevant source.

Changes: Error source formatting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add source details to formatted errors
packages/docusaurus-bundler/src/legacy/formatWebpackMessages.js
The formatter prefixes each error with its module name or file name when available. It appends the location when present.
Test error source formatting
packages/docusaurus-bundler/src/__tests__/compiler.test.ts
Unit tests cover source and location formatting, fallbacks, and retained diagnostics. Integration tests check module-resolution and parse errors in webpack and rspack.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Suggested labels: pr: bug fix

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 17783

Build errors now include the source file and location, which makes failures easier to diagnose. No merge-blocking risk was identified.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #9023 requires CLI bundler errors to identify the problematic source file. The implementation prefixes formatted errors with error.moduleName and error.loc, or with error.file when no module name exists. It preserves messages without source metadata. Tests cover these cases and real Webpack and Rspack parse failures.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.
