Better Project Crash Information

Ciyob86

Currently when a project crashes a string that cannot be easily understood by humans is shown (e.g. “44c8e276ae8c4634977dc7218cf17575”), instead a easily understandable error code like “UNKNOWN_BLOCK_OPCODE” or “FAILED_TO_CONVERT_PROJECT” should be shown.

There should also be some sort of documentation, that has descriptions of what the errors are and what may have caused them.

I think a random string is best as tonnes of stuff can be the code,, marking it near impossible to get the same code. And it also literally gives you a description of what it is, so why do humans need to understand it anyway.

No

“Here is the ID this happened” I think tells you what it is.

No, it just gives you a random id as I explained in the post.

Support. IDs can make people confused.

I don't think it is just a number with no meaning. It might look confusing to people, but understandable by computers.

The point is that it's difficult for the human project creator to debug. ::looks

TurboWarp shows error messages for stuff like this:

I think it's best to do it like that.

Also, I think the “string not understandable for humans” isn't actually an error code, just basically an error report “ID” for identifying the report in the Scratch Team's error tracker or something.

It did, it’s just it showed an error message so it looked like it didn’t

Also, why did you add the “also” to my quote?
