1429917 - `yarn start:local` doesn't appear to return the console so you don't know when the docs are built

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect)

Description

[Jonathan French (:jfrench)]

I've been running `yarn start:local` frequently today in vagrant, but while the docs /dist does build, the command doesn't return to the console prompt, so I never know when the build is complete.

Here's my output for what its worth, including a warning I usually see. I think the warning is unrelated to the issue.

vagrant ~/treeherder $ yarn start:local
yarn run v1.2.1
$ node ./node_modules/neutrino/bin/neutrino start --presets ./neutrino-custom/local-watch.js
clean-webpack-plugin: /home/vagrant/treeherder/dist has been removed.
(node:3842) DeprecationWarning: loaderUtils.parseQuery() received a non-string value which can be problematic, see https://github.com/webpack/loader-utils/issues/56
parseQuery() will be replaced with getOptions() in the next major version of loader-utils.

I'm running OSX 10.12.6.

This command is not meant to end, it continually watches the source files and rebuilds `dist/` as they change. The command should definitely make that clearer though in the console output.

However it's about to be removed in bug 1363722, so probably not worth fixing :-)

Oh, cool. Indeed the RTD does say 'and watch for changes'. I guess that's an improvement since I last used it :)
