console: countReset() should dispatch a warning on non-existent counts #20524
Description
Activity
There's no warnings I know of yet in Node 10 (https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v10.x/docs/api/console.html#console_console_countreset_label_default). How should we proceed with this?
The spec for
countResetdoesn't quite specify a warning either… @domfarolino could you clarify what we should do?Sorry for the lack of clarity here in the spec. Right now, step 3 > substep 2 of
countResetis the warning I allude to in this issue. We don't re-uselogLevels in different functions, so the fact thatLogger("countReset", ...)should produce a warning-like (and not just a regular) message is indicated in https://console.spec.whatwg.org/#loglevel-severity. The same pattern can be found for assert actually. But that sorta trend is changing actually, see:- Formalize warnings whatwg/console#57
- Timing and Counting methods should report warnings when necessary whatwg/console#134 (second to last checkbox)
for plans to make warning/error reporting more clear and easy to use. I have a PR for the node implementation here, just kinda got buried in other things, I'll try to submit soon!

We're in the midst of spec'ing
console.countReset()to give a warning. Currently node's implementation does not give a warning. The spec PR for this is at whatwg/console#133. I imagine this will be really similar to #20442, and I can submit a PR for this really soon. Filing an issue for now.
