Need docs for plugin error handling

I am trying to write a plugin for Webpack but unable to find documentation regarding how its error handling is supposed to work. For example if my plugin has a compile error on some file type I presumably should catch it and give it to webpack to present to the user. I cannot find guides or docs about this.

Copied from original issue: webpack/webpack#945

This issue was moved to #101

Closing in favor of #37 as plugin error handling should get covered in that doc.

So time has moved forward about 2 years and still no answer.

Could you please provide a hint on how to report an error from a plugin?

[bebraw]

@EECOLOR If you have access to compilation, you can do this:

compilation.warnings.push('warning');
compilation.errors.push('error');

[bebraw]

Another way would be to throw an error. That would terminate the execution.

@bebraw Thank you! Exactly what I needed
