🐞 Error Reporting Service

\n \n

When an error report is successfully posted, an email will be automatically sent to the val owner containing the full error details, description, and timestamp.

\n \n

How to Submit an Error Report

\n \n

Send a POST request with a JSON payload containing four fields:

\n \n

subject: A brief title for the error
userDescription: A detailed explanation of the context
errorStacktrace: The full error stacktrace
secretKey: The secret key to authenticate the request

\n \n

🔒 This endpoint is protected and requires a secret key!

\n \n

Example Curl Request:

curl -X POST ${import.meta.url.replace(\"esm.town\", \"web.val.run\")} \\\n     -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n     -d '{\n         \"subject\": \"Critical Java Error\",\n         \"userDescription\": \"Database connection failed unexpectedly\",\n         \"errorStacktrace\": \"java.sql.SQLException: Connection refused\\\\n\\\\tat com.example.DatabaseManager.connect(DatabaseManager.java:42)\",\n         \"secretKey\": \"your-secret-key-here\"\n     }'

\n \n

Example JSON Structure:

{\n  \"subject\": \"Database Connection Error\",\n  \"userDescription\": \"Failed to connect to production database during user login\",\n  \"errorStacktrace\": \"Full Java/language-specific error stacktrace goes here\",\n  \"secretKey\": \"your-secret-key-here\"\n}
