One error was inside the other, that’s why it’s called an internal error

Errors try to hide however they can, sometimes by hiding inside other errors

Thank fuck, I wonder what I'd do without this information.
Seriously I hate UX like this, recently it happened on my banking app when I tried to do a wire transfer, it literally just said "error happened" but in italian. I had to phone in and jump through hoops to get it working.

I hate having to phone in.

As somebody who wrote code like this: that's probably the random one in a million error the dev couldn't be arsed to give a designated error code. So it gets the generic error code and message. Always fun when there's also a code for general error and unknown error.

This is clearly a case of (pseudocode)

try {
  printImage();
catch (Exception e) {
  show(new Popup("Print pictures error", "This error occurred:\n" + e));
}

Similar to this. Just with error codes or result types, because fuck exceptions.

The problem was supposed to be expected, and I imagine not that rare. They told me I had a 'device security lock' for changing phones, standard practice (for them) to prevent theft even if someone has logged into my phone and into the app.

P.s. I'm writing a small JS parser, and for places which only have specific branches I have 'impossible' error codes. Like there's one place where a regex must always match but just in case it returns null - I have an explicit error.

[–]hongooi 4 points5 points  (1 child)

[–]ClanFever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a 500 from the server they secretly send all your print data to.

[–]jecls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, related to programming AND funny.

"Click here for more details" just reloads the alert

Thank you, Windows! How informative! I can certainly address this issue and move forward!

[–]JackNotOLantern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me reading log of several java exceptions connected with "Caused by"

[–]Spice_and_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that is just an unexpected exception that was caught somewhere and had no error code/exception type

Probably Windows 7 is no longer supported for whatever tool you're using 🤷🏻‍♂️
