Is there a way to disable the error overlay when running a create-react-app in development mode?
This is the overlay I\'m talking about:
I\'m askin
In the file webpack.config.js, comment the line:
// require.resolve('react-dev-utils/webpackHotDevClient'),
And uncomment:
require.resolve('webpack-dev-server/client') + '?/',
require.resolve('webpack/hot/dev-server'),
In the file webpackDevServer.config.js, comment:
// transportMode: 'ws',
// injectClient: false,
You can suppress React's error event handling by capturing the event first.
for example, by placing in public/index.html
's <head>
:
<script>
window.addEventListener('error', function(e){
// prevent React's listener from firing
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
// prevent the browser's console error message
e.preventDefault();
});
</script>
Since you probably still want React's error overlay for errors outside the error boundary, consider this option:
<script>
window.addEventListener('error', function(e){
const {error} = e;
if (!error.captured) {
error.captured = true;
e.stopImmediatePropagation();
e.preventDefault();
// Revisit this error after the error boundary element processed it
setTimeout(()=>{
// can be set by the error boundary error handler
if (!error.shouldIgnore) {
// but if it wasn't caught by a boundary, release it back to the wild
throw error;
}
})
}
});
</script>
assuming your error boundary does something like:
static getDerivedStateFromError(error) {
error['shouldIgnore'] = true;
return { error };
}
The result is a behaviour that follows try...catch line of reasoning.
In config/webpack.config.dev.js
, comment out the following line in the entry
array
require.resolve('react-dev-utils/webpackHotDevClient'),
And uncomment these two:
require.resolve('webpack-dev-server/client') + '?/',
require.resolve('webpack/hot/dev-server'),
I think this makes sense but sometimes when you are typing and have an error boundary then the overlay pops up with each character stroke and is annoying. I can remove the handler I suppose.
An alternate solution is to add the following CSS style:
iframe
{
display: none;
}
This prevents the error from showing.
To avoid bundling in this large dev library disable with a dynamic import:
yarn add react-error-overlay
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
import('react-error-overlay').then(m => {
m.stopReportingRuntimeErrors();
});
}
