Could not parse Browserslist result to a meaningful format. entry=safari TP about esbuild-plugin-browserslist HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the report! I took a look, but am not sure what we should do with Safari TP. It's a floating target - right now that would mean an esbuild target of safari17, but that would be safari17.1 or so next month when Safari 17 is stable.

I could add a special case to not log an error and ignore it, but it wouldn't change the behaviour. What target would you expect from that query?

If it's just about the error, you could also change the query to add not safari TP: https://browsersl.ist/#q=last+3+Chrome+major+versions%2C%0Alast+3+Safari+major+versions%2C%0Aunreleased+Chrome+versions%2C%0Aunreleased+Safari+versions%2C%0Anot+safari+TP

This still returns 17, which is what Safari TP currently is, but avoids the floating TP version.

Thanks for looking into this!

If this is my browserslist query in entirety:

  "unreleased Safari versions"

I believe esbuild-plugin-browserslist should resolve it to the esbuild target safari17.

I do not know how and when it should change to safari17.1, but I believe that it should.

I think Browserslist has made this difficult by resolving to safari TP rather than e.g. safari 17

In my case, I do explicitly wish to support unreleased Safari versions (TP)

Right, but if you use this query: https://browsersl.ist/#q=unreleased+Safari+versions%2C%0Anot+safari+TP you will still get a resolved target of safari17 and safari16.6 as of today, which is what you want, I think? Browserslist returns safari TP in addition to the future version numbers.
