[Question] SnapshotError handler

[rborn]

Hi,

I see you handle the onSnapshotError case but it's just a warning.
Is there any way to actually do anything in case this event occurs ?

Thanks

@rborn I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure Firebase handles any network errors internally. So you won't be getting 'timeout' or 'disconnected' errors through this. All I've seen so far are errors about missing indexes.

[rborn]

@damonmaria or permissions.
Would be good though to be able to handle at least the available errors

@rborn My experience is the same as @damonmaria, I've only seen that handler being triggered on misconfiguration issues.

@rborn What kind of error handling would you looking for, an overridable method on Document/Collection?

[rborn]

@IjzerenHein yeah, something like that.
Indeed I only have this issue when the configuration changes, and I'm thinking that if in the future we need to change the configuration then we should be able to handle this app side.

[damonmaria]

My experience is they are only messages that you should see during development. Maybe being overridable would be useful in that during dev it's a console warning, but otherwise (like during testing or in production) it could be an error reported back / show stopper.
