Currently ProgressBar is used to monitor upload progress of attachments.
But there's two cases where the associated DOM element may be removed:
- In the champs editor, when the list scrolls, DOM elements are removed
and added dynamically by React;
- In the user form, the user might start an upload on a repetition, and
then remove the associated row during the download.
In both those cases, we don't want the missing DOM element to trigger
an error.
When subclassing a JS error, most browsers include the constructor
stacktrace :/
This is an issue, because:
- The stacktrace is deeper than it should be
- The stacktrace reaches into a polyfill for which there is not source
map, which causes Sentry to infer the issue grouping from the JS file
name. And the fingerprinted name changes on each release. So for each
release, the stacktrace is different ; and Sentry can't group issues
properly.
A DirectUpload may fail for several reasons, and return many types of
errors (string, xhr response, Error objects, etc).
For convenience, wrap all these errors in a FileUploadError object.
- It makes easier for clients of the Uploader class to handle errors;
- It allows to propagate the error code and failure responsability.
DirectUpload returns errors as strings, including an HTTP status and a
file name (and without a stack trace).
But Sentry groups issues according to the stack trace, and maybe the
error message in last resort.
So we have an issue: as all DirectUpload errors logged by Sentry are
generated on the same line, with random-looking messages, Sentry groups
them either too or too little aggressively.
Instead of creating all the errors on the same line:
- add some `if`s statements to create them on different lines (and so
with different stack traces),
- strip the file name from the error message.
This allows Sentry to group the errors properly, with meaningful error
messages.
Pooling for attachment status is a background operation. Errors should
not be reported to the user, who didn't even ask for this operation to
take place.
This is why we ignore all errors, whether Javascript exceptions or
network errors.
This helper is:
- no longer used;
- buggy (not all requests increment it);
- discouraged (we should instead match an UI change that signals the end
of an ajax request).
Good riddance.
