More description error text #46
Description
While using ipfs.dag.get() for a list of CIDs, encountered the below errors on some of them:
Error: invalid base16 character
at Object.decode ( node_modules\multibase\src\base16.js:14:17)
at Base.decode ( node_modules\multibase\src\base.js:18:24)
at Function.decode ( node_modules\multibase\src\index.js:75:27)
at new CID ( node_modules\cids\src\index.js:79:31)
at new CID ( node_modules\class-is\index.js:15:17)
at Function.get.promisify ( node_modules\ipfs\src\core\components\dag.js:94:17)
at Object.get ( node_modules\promisify-es6\index.js:32:27)
The error is fine, except it is very difficult to identify which exact CID was causing this error (when dealing with multiple CIDs, across multiple asynchronous calls).
Wondering if you would be open to make the errors much descriptive, something like below: at line 14 of base16.js
for (let char of input) {
if (alphabet.indexOf(char) < 0) {
throw new Error(`invalid base16 character '${char}' in '${input}'`) //<- more descriptive
}
}
This helps the callers / users troubleshoot the problems more easily.
