"A web handler threw an exception ..." #607

Closed cobalamin closed 5 years ago

cobalamin commented 8 years ago

I've seen it happen a few times, about five in total, that some page on elm-lang.org throws an exception by a web handler on loading. It's always temporary and the site renders fine on the next reload. I haven't spent that much time on the site overall, so I find a very in-your-face exception occurring five times to be a bit too much.

The error message looks like this:

A web handler threw an exception. Details:
gen/pages/docs/from-javascript.html: getFileStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)

It has also occurred on other pages, though. It's not very predictable, but I'm able to (irregularly) reproduce by continuously refreshing some page, and it happens eventually.

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

I have observed this as well. I am not tremendously confident in the underlying Haskell server library to be bug free as more folks are using the site, so that may be the root of this.

We do not use a Haskell server anymore, so this should not be possible since the switch.
