lingui extract should fail with a non-zero exit code when there are extraction failures

[thekip]

There was already a work on that:
#1299

But still there are cases where errors just logged to console and zero code is returned.

For example, "Missing Message ID" warning.

What should be done:

We should add a flag to the cli extract, for example --strict which will exit with non-zero code in case of any extraction problems encountered.

I was thinking how to hot-fix this today as well.

Hi, we are currently reworked an entire codebase for cli and extractor in V4. And this task already scheduled for new upcoming release. So "hofixing" to the main branch wouldn't have a lot of sense. If you want to help, you can implement this for the "next" branch

@thekip is this still relevant for the v4?

[thekip]

Yes. Few of the checks are still "warning only", the big changes should be made to the codebase to stop processing after encountering these warnings.

It looks like it's not that critical and a big codebase change won't be worth it, what do you think?
