ugly "outdated" logs

[stephenmathieson]

imo, this is horrible:

$ node_modules/.bin/component-build 

  outdated name of a dependency : please update: "component/search.js" -> "componentjs/search.js"
   installed : yields/[email protected] in 465ms
   installed : component/[email protected] in 570ms
   installed : component/[email protected] in 132ms

  [ ... ]

why not:

  warning: outdated dependency name; please update "component/search.js" -> "componentjs/search.js"

... or something?

I agree with this, but I think we might want to consider this as part of a more major log output overhaul, because I've seen a lot of logs like this.

[timaschew]

have you some other examples?
what exactly is ugly? that there is a missing warning prefix? or the wording?

[netpoetica]

@timaschew I think for me it's some of the sentence particles using arbitrary punctuation, in combination with all-lowercase words. I don't think the logs are awful, they're just not super-polished.

For example, outdated name of a dependency : please update: is just strange use of the colon twice.

A clear structure like

LOG_LEVEL + TITLE + ":" + MESSAGE

Warning - Outdated Dependencies: Please update "component/search.js" to "componentjs/search.js"

// or

Warning: Outdated Dependencies
Please update "component/search.js" to "componentjs/search.js"

// or
Warning -> Outdated Dependencies: Please update "component/search.js" to "componentjs/search.js"

Would be good to hear from @stephenmathieson for detail about possible improvements.

keep the left side of the : short and simple. for example: warning : ... (as suggested in the OP).
