[Bug]: Stopped working in NestJS after upgrading

[MrSinaRJ]

What happened?

After several updates in the past month, it stopped working in Nest.JS and there is no log in the output anymore.

Version

1.0.238

Steps to reproduce (or sample repo)

1. Create a new Nest application using nest-cli: nest new console-ninja-test.
2. Add console.log('test') inside app.service.ts before the line return 'Hello World!';.
3. Start the app using yarn start:dev.
4. Send a GET request to localhost:3000. (default port is 3000).
5. You must get Hello World! in response as a string, and test will log in to whatever terminal you used to run the app.
6. The log doesn't appear in Console Ninja output screen.

Thanks for the steps to reproduce your problem.

As best as we can tell, prior to nest@v10.1.18, webpack was being used to compile your files, which in turn meant that Console Ninja would detect and process your project files. By default, the latest version of nest uses TypeScript instead of webpack, but you can tell it to explicitly use webpack via the CLI.

In your sample project, you are able to use Console Ninja if you run your dev tools with yarn start:dev -- --webpack.

---

We've now added first class support for Nest.js projects to address this issue. If you update to Console Ninja v1.0.239, it will work for you.

Thanks for your response and workaround.

There isn't any way to use swc as the builder? It's so many times faster than webpack and will speed up development by a lot.

I think this will be a great feature if it's not that much of a trouble.

[smcenlly]

Unfortunately this isn't something that we are able to support right now. The way nest builder works with SWC is that SWC takes control of compiling your application to your dist folder. Since SWC is written in rust and runs in a separate process, Console Ninja doesn't have the opportunity to intercept and add its logging / processing.
