How can I get the search errors?

[felipefahrion]

I just received a 500 error when searching for something that doesn't exist. Is there any way to return friendly error feedback?

      const options = {
        reference: genomeReference,
        search: {
          url: internal.url.com,
          chromosomeField: 'chr',
          displayName: 'symbol',
        },
      };

The 500 error is coming from your server (internal.url.com). What is the user seeing? Is there any helpful information in the server response?

@jrobinso yeps, it's a internal error.

I would like to show something to the user (e.g alert, modal, ...), just some feedback information. Do you how to get this error response?

The server is response is {"error":"More or less than 1 ensembl id associated with this gene symbol"}

What does the user see now?

There is nothing you can do at the moment to retrieve the server response and display it. This will require some igv.js changes. You can leave this issue open until there is a solution.
