Right now, I am aware of the onerror event of the recordForm tag. However, in the controller, event.getParam("errors") doesn't return anything. This is how the controller code looks like:

handleRecordFormErrors : function(component, event, helper) {
    var errorsArr  = event.getParam("errors");
    for (var i = 0; i < errorsArr.length; i++) {
        console.log("error " + i + ": " + JSON.stringify(errorsArr[i]));
    }
}

In the debug logs, a duplicate detection error gets logged, but the error in the frontend is always this: An error occurred while trying to update the record. Please try again., and event.getParams() in the controller gives me nothing. How should I catch this error, or at least change the error message to something user friendly?

  • I see that you're used to Markdown, but unfortunately, the ``` thing doesn't work; you need to use four spaces instead. In the future, consider using the {} button to auto-format your code. – sfdcfox Jun 5 '18 at 5:02
  • it looked ok when i posted. alright noted @sfdcfox – SamuelDev Jun 5 '18 at 5:05

    The difference is that the four-spaces generates a proper grey square and is easier to read, especially in large code blocks. It also provides scrolling if it overflows horizontally or is too tall, and has a different effect on mobile devices. – sfdcfox Jun 5 '18 at 5:07
  • Can you put your complete code where you are setting the template. The state should not be SUCCESS in case of error. Please show where the server call happening – Avijit Chakraborty Jun 5 '18 at 5:21
  • Hello @AvijitChakraborty. There is no explicit server call happening because lightning:recordform takes care of that behind the scenes. The loading and the saving of data is all taken cared of by that component. – SamuelDev Jun 5 '18 at 6:58

lightning:recordForm is based off of lightning:recordEditForm. If you look at the recordEditForm documentation, you'll see the structure of the params:

EVENT   PARAMETER   TYPE    DESCRIPTION
onerror   error     Object  The error data returned by the form submission.

                            errorCode: An error code with information about the error, 
                                       for example, INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGES
                            message: Description of error. We recommend using 
                                     lightning:messages as described in the examples to display your error messages in the UI.

Try using event.getParam("message"); to see the error message, or just console.log(JSON.stringify(event.getParams())); to see the errorCode as well

Maybe something like this:

Your.cmp

<aura:component>
    <lightning:notificationsLibrary aura:id="notifLib" /> <!-- this line is really important-->
    <lightning:recordEditForm objectApiName="Account" onload="{!c.handleCreateLoad}" onerror="{!c.handleError}">
    <lightning:messages />
    <lightning:inputField aura:id="nameField" fieldName="Name"/>
    <lightning:button class="slds-m-top_small" type="submit" label="Create new" />
</lightning:recordEditForm>

YourController.js

handleError : function(component, event, helper) {
    var error = event.getParam("error");
    console.log(error);
    component.find("notifLib").showToast({ "variant":"error", "title": "Unexpected Error Here", "message": "A message that you want to show. Can place some error attributes if you need" });
}

Please, don't forget this line in your component, is the key to view the message

<lightning:notificationsLibrary aura:id="notifLib" /> <!-- this line is really important-->

You can check the form and nofitications documentation

Hope to be helpfull! =)
