Struggling to get an emit failure with 1.5

[basarat]

Previously the following would fail to emit due to parsing errors:

var foo = 123 123;

Now it does emit JS:

var foo = 123;
123;

What's more is that something crazy like:

2nof234@#$@#$&3421834701234!@#$!&@#$"!H#@$LK!N@#LSOD*F&(O@#*$&@#$1)"YH!@#$(O*&!@#$)

does an js emit:

2;
nof234;
$;
$ & 3421834701234;
!;
$;
! & ;
$;
"!H#@$LK!N@#LSOD*F&(O@#*$&@#$1)";
YH;
!;
$(O *  & !, $);

Are you guys aware of anything that will block an emit now? I just want this for a test ❤️

Maybe relevant is #1527 and #1421

Previously we blocked emit in the face of early errors. it was getting a bit arbitrary what is early and what is not, in #1527 we have relaxed this restriction, and now we emit even with errors.
You can always use the --noEmitOnError to avoid emit with errors.

and now we emit even with errors

So with noEmitOnError switched off we will always emit? is my understanding correct

[mhegazy]

For JavaScript/source maps yes. we will always emit. for declarations, we currently have a check on errors. we are still talking about this part, whether to block declaration emit on errors (current behavior) or enable it as well.

Thank you. That answers all my queries ❤️
