A panic hook for wasm32-unknown-unknown that logs panics with console.error

Last update: Jan 3, 2023

Overview

`console_error_panic_hook`

This crate lets you debug panics on wasm32-unknown-unknown by providing a panic hook that forwards panic messages to console.error.

When an error is reported with console.error, browser devtools and node.js will typically capture a stack trace and display it with the logged error message.

Without console_error_panic_hook you just get something like RuntimeError: Unreachable executed

Browser:

Node:

With this panic hook installed you will see the panic message

Usage

There are two ways to install this panic hook.

First, you can set the hook yourself by calling std::panic::set_hook in some initialization function:

extern crate console_error_panic_hook;
use std::panic;

fn my_init_function() {
    panic::set_hook(Box::new(console_error_panic_hook::hook));

    // ...
}

Alternatively, use set_once on some common code path to ensure that set_hook is called, but only the one time. Under the hood, this uses std::sync::Once.

extern crate console_error_panic_hook;

struct MyBigThing;

impl MyBigThing {
    pub fn new() -> MyBigThing {
        console_error_panic_hook::set_once();

        MyBigThing
    }
}

Error.stackTraceLimit

Many browsers only capture the top 10 frames of a stack trace. In rust programs this is less likely to be enough. To see more frames, you can set the non-standard value Error.stackTraceLimit. For more information see the MDN Web Docs or v8 docs.

Doesn't work in Safari

Edit:

wasm-bindgen generates this code:

const __wbg_error_29632ca09755cc79_target = console.error;

let cachedDecoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8');

// ...

export function __wbg_error_29632ca09755cc79(arg0, arg1) {
    let varg0 = getStringFromWasm(arg0, arg1);
    __wbg_error_29632ca09755cc79_target(varg0);
}

If this line:

__wbg_error_29632ca09755cc79_target(varg0);

is manually changed to this:

__wbg_error_29632ca09755cc79_target(varg0 + " ");

then it works. It seems that the string literal has to have a space in it, an empty string literal doesn't work.

Update readme to talk about Error.stackTraceLimit

Stack traces from rust, including the example screenshots in the existing documentation (!), are often so full of stack frames from the panic mechanism itself and other generic platform functions that there is not enough information to identify where the error was triggered in user code. Hopefully this documentation will save time for the next person who has this problem.

Expose panic formatting as function

Enso developers would like to implement a panic hook that writes to console.error, but also uses an application-specific API to write the panic info to the console running the program as an electron app. The latter is straightforward enough, but console_error_panic_hook's formatting addresses browser subtleties, and we'd prefer not to duplicate that.

This PR exposes panic formatting in the API, for use from custom panic hooks.

Use the new feature flag for procedural macros

See https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/commit/ed05c7b9454905f15488714619950a55cd3c8d2d

Apparently the feature flag for proc macros was renamed to use_extern_macros.

Upgrade to GitHub-native Dependabot

Dependabot Preview will be shut down on August 3rd, 2021. In order to keep getting Dependabot updates, please merge this PR and migrate to GitHub-native Dependabot before then.

Dependabot has been fully integrated into GitHub, so you no longer have to install and manage a separate app. This pull request migrates your configuration from Dependabot.com to a config file, using the new syntax. When merged, we'll swap out dependabot-preview (me) for a new dependabot app, and you'll be all set!

With this change, you'll now use the Dependabot page in GitHub, rather than the Dependabot dashboard, to monitor your version updates, and you'll configure Dependabot through the new config file rather than a UI.

You have configured automerging on this repository. There is no automerging support in GitHub-native Dependabot, so these settings will not be added to the new config file. Several 3rd-party GitHub Actions and bots can replicate the automerge feature.

If you've got any questions or feedback for us, please let us know by creating an issue in the dependabot/dependabot-core repository.

Make FireFox Put the @URL Part on Its Own Column

On Firefox 72.0.2, noticed that the URL part of the stack trace isn't lined up like in the README. So manually added some periods to space things out.

Here's an example of what I'm seeing:

Verified cargo test still passes, that this doesn't affect Chrome, and that Firefox now looks like:

Add example error message and backtrace from node

I wasn't sure where you wanted me to put the error messages, so I put them in .txt files.

For the purposes of reproduction, I generated the error messages from here: https://github.com/kylejlin/console-error-panic-hook-test

Expose a function to stringify a PanicInfo struct

This allows users who want to display the error message generated by console_error_panic_hook outside of the console to do it without having to reimplement javascript-based stack walking themselves.

Hey! I'm in the process of trying to be nicer to users upon panic, displaying an error page on my yew app instead of just crashing and dumping logs to the console (source). However, I'd rather avoid reimplementing the stack walking that console_error_panic_hook implemented in order to tell the user what they should copy-paste to the issue tracker.

So I thought of just exposing it from console_error_panic_hook, though it may be slightly outside of the expected API surface for it.

WDYT?

Expose panic formatting in API

Hi, I'm working on an Electron application, Enso. Enso needs to do multiple things in our panic hook: We have an application-specific API to submit the backtrace to, but we'd also like to display it with console.error. We want to minimize duplication of the functionality defined in console_error_panic_hook--especially the backtrace formatting, since it addresses browser subtleties.

This proposed change introduces a lower level function to the API, exposing the panic formatting functionality for use from another hook.

(Also, it increments the release version in Cargo.toml to match the currently-released version.)

Source commit and tag for 0.1.7 missing
Describe the Bug

Crates.io lists 0.1.7 as the latest release, but there's no tag in the repo for that version.

The metadata points to commit f998b08b76655c16b948fc329c26ba563e9b3384 which also doesn't seem to be published. The only source difference from the current head (4dc30a5448ed3ffcfb961b1ad54d000cca881b84) seems to be the version bump.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to https://crates.io/crates/console_error_panic_hook/versions

Obvserve published versions

git clone https://github.com/rustwasm/console_error_panic_hook

cd console_error_panic_hook

git show 0.1.7

See error unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

If applicable, add a link to a test case (as a zip file or link to a repository we can clone).

Expected Behavior

It's convenient for auditing changes if the source of each release is tagged in the official repository.

Could you please push the release commit and tag?
