CapacitorHttp Plugin error handling

See original GitHub issue

Bug Report

Plugin(s)

CapacitorHttp

Capacitor Version

@capacitor/core 4.4.0

Platform(s)

iOS

Current Behavior

iOS app freezes when CapacitorHttp throws an error. try and catch does not help. In my case it happens when I call a domain that does not exist. The console then shows “NSURLErrorDomain” and the app stops there.

Expected Behavior

There should be some possibility to handle the errors.

Code Reproduction

const options = { url: ‘https://wrongDomainXYZ.com’, method: ‘GET’, headers: { ‘Accept’:’ /‘, ‘User-Agent’:’’ }, params: {}, responseType: ‘text’, disableRedirects: false };

let response = {};

try {

 response = await window.Capacitor.Plugins.CapacitorHttp.request(options);
 console.log(response);

} catch (error) {

 console.log(error);

}

Same issue here. It has been fixed on the original @capacitor-community/http project : https://github.com/mrahn24/http/commit/da0742fde037e34008a5c86a176a1c33b888bc02

I’ve submitted a PR https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/pull/6033

Thanks, I’ve created a sample app from the zip since it contained an app inside the app and the changes were made in the build folder, so they got overridden on npm run build. https://github.com/jcesarmobile/http-errors

but I could reproduce on iOS

also added a fetch call to compare both behaviors
