Question: Why is it always Script Error?

[danlamb]

Most of the bugs I get are labeled Script Error and have undefined@null stack traces. Why is this?

Sorry meant to post this as me - danlamb is employer's account.

It's not always Script Error. I think that most of the time is an error that was caused in HTML script tag. Either way, I'm investigating.

@bhgames I guess this would be the answer we're looking for http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5913978/cryptic-script-error-reported-in-javascript-in-chrome-and-firefox

@bhgames @thanasis00 I guess that we could change the Script Error to something descriptive.

I'm suggesting Remote script has thrown an error that was hidden due to the same-origin policy

[bhgames]

That works, though I've already since stopped using BugSense because of
this specific problem. It was a great idea, but unfortunately didn't pan
out for our use case. Best of luck, maybe there will be an app in the
future that can use it!

Yes, this seems descriptive, it will make sense for future error logs. Thanks!

[tsironis]

@bhgames thanks for the feedback though! I would love an email with more details, if you be most kind :)

[tsironis]

@thanasis00 I will have to do some research on this to be sure about the solution.

[bhgames]

Dimitris, I honestly don't remember enough about what happened to tell you.
I remember I installed bugSense for a bit but all the values that came with
the error events were null/undefined and the errors were always that vague
message, so it was pretty much flying blind. During my next refactor I
removed the service because it was excess code and wasn't providing value,
and I recall posting here which is probably why I'm subscribed to it.

Oh I see. Well, thanks again 👍

[bhgames]

Let me know if you guys decide to start supporting CORS, if that's what
this is. :)

The issue here is that browser don't let this kind of information to be exposed for security reasons, and any scripts loaded from other origins will fail with "Script Error".

I don't know if there's much we can do here to fix that, except add a more descriptive error message.

[bhgames]

Yeah, I remember now. It's unfortunate.
