I'm trying to catch a bunch of errors related to the same origin policy when using the Fetch API but without any success:
window.onerror = (message, file, line, col, error) => console.log(error)
window.addEventListener('error', (error) => console.log(error))
try {
fetch('https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ticker/').catch(e => {
console.log('Caugth error:')
console.log(e)
console.log(JSON.stringify(e))
})
}
catch (e) {
console.log('try-catch')
console.log(e)
}
The errors I want to catch only appear in the web console:
See code example here: https://github.com/nyg/fetch-error-test
How can I catch these errors to provide an on-screen message?
EDIT: The fetch's catch block is actually executed.
fetch('https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ticker/')
.then(response => response.text())
.then(pre)
.catch(e => {
pre(`Caugth error: ${e.message}`)
})
function pre(text) {
var pre = document.createElement('pre')
document.body.insertAdjacentElement('afterbegin', pre)
pre.insertAdjacentText('beforeend', text)
}
pre {
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 20px;
padding: 20px;
}
As far as I remember, you can not catch
browser driven exceptions in your typical try->catch
or a catch chain
inside of fetch
.
CORS exceptions are thrown with intent, to have the user browsing the site, know of such abnormalities if you may call them that, and to protect any leak of possible secure information on the called api/server
Read here Of a previous SO discussion on whether you could catch these errors with an exception handler
If the request throws an error that can be part of the response , like a status error and such, then you may catch it and show a custom message
