Why does Bubble show plugin error to end customers ?!

Need help APIs

The following is the javascript alert that bubble shows in production to end users.

just returned error. Please contact the plugin author directly

This happens every time when an API call does not return 200 errors. And seems there is no easy way to overcome it. Here are couple of points that are wrong with this javascript alert:

  • Ok this is a nice hint for developer in development /version-test/ mode, but what value brings the expressive message to end customer. The customer will wonder “whom? what? plugin? I thought I am using and website”
  • There are business errors (non-programming) returned from APIs. These events needs to be tackled in the Bubble and. Unfortunately, it seems and it is very strange that this is not possible to do in Bubble.

I wonder if @bubble will do something about this.

@serg.sargsyan You can potentially use ‘an unhandled error occurs’ workflow to display something more user / business friendly. If that is still not working, please submit a bug report.
