Reviewer Prompt

Implement comprehensive error handling that covers prevention, recovery, and diagnosis:

  1. Prevent errors through thorough validation before enabling actions
    • Validate that all required data exists before allowing operations
      // Instead of just checking mime type and filename
      function isDownloadable(index, key) {
      const { mimeType, fileName } = binaryData[index][key];
      return !!(mimeType && fileName && (binaryData[index][key].id || binaryData[index][key].data));
      }
      
  2. Ensure recovery by properly resetting state flags in finally blocks
    • Don’t leave UI in disabled states after operations complete or fail
      try {
      cancellingTestRun.value = true;
      await evaluationStore.cancelTestRun(workflowId, runId);
      } catch (error) {
      // Error handling
      } finally {
      cancellingTestRun.value = false;
      }
      
  3. Enable diagnosis by preserving and exposing error details
    • Log complete error objects, not just generic messages
      } catch (error) {
      console.error(chalk.red(`An error occurred during the build process: ${error}`));
      }
      

Each layer of error handling contributes to a more robust application that prevents user frustration and simplifies troubleshooting.
