How can I capture await.getProfile errors? #926

Closed sanmiawi closed 3 years ago

sanmiawi commented 3 years ago

When I try to use the getProfile method it works with a valid address but I would like to read the error returned if an invalid address is entered example await threeBox.getProfile('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')

returns the following error in developer tools {"status":"error","message":"Address link not found, address does not have a 3Box or is malformed"}

but I cannot read this error using try/catch or threeBox.getProfile('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz').catch(err => {console.error(err)}); sequence

how can I read the error in my code?

Hey unfortunately it's not possible to catch these as Chrome and other browsers always will log whenever 404s happen, regardless of if you catch the error or not :/

Hi, I do not mind that the error is logged in console. I would like to know that it occurred and make a different decision based on the occurrence of an error. If there is no thrown error, do you think its possible to parse the response from connect.3box.io?

Hi, its ok. I think I will just use axios get request https://ipfs.3box.io/profile?address= and parse the result from that before using the getProfile function. Thanks
