Display error messages on app startup for non-dev users
See original GitHub issueThe Issue
End users should have the ability to view whatever error caused the app to crash.
I will have one of the installed binaries fail to start and don’t know what the issue is, and since the developer tools are disabled, I can’t figure it out on my own. Back in the 2000s, applications would just give you an error message or error code so you can debug it. The lack of this ability removes the end user’s ability to debug it, or our ability to prevent it.
Steps to Reproduce
Expected Behavior
Error messages should be displayed to the user
Actual Behavior
Error messages are not displayed to the user.
Suggested Solutions
alert(error);

I gotcha. I guess for a quick fix you could change the errorBoundary/view.jsx component to put the error on the page. Just so you can see it.
Gotcha, closing for now. Please reopen a new issue if there’s a particular action we need to take.
