Better error message for mistyped accounts? #861

Closed edent closed 1 year ago

edent commented 2 years ago

If a user makes a typo when entering their Mastodon details and gives a server which doesn't exist, they get this error:

We're sorry but something went wrong (500)

You can see this if you type in test@example.com

Yeah, this is something I have struggled for a while with. The OAuth part is controlled by an external library and the last time I tried I didn't manage to find a way to plug good errors into it. I'll try again looking into when I have some time :)

This is more than a UI thing.. I think I'm misunderstanding what is meant by 'full mastadon username' in the prompt (I'm just using my mastadon username, but I think it wants something else??) as I just get this error every time I try to connect, so exactly what the error is would be very useful.

.. and now it suddenly started working. Maybe the server was just busy.. but better error messages please!
