Constructors

Constructor

new InitializationError(message: string, options?: {
  cause?: Error;
  clientMessage?: string;
  context?: Record<string, unknown>;
}): InitializationError;

Parameters

Returns

InitializationError

Inherited from

AppKitError.constructor

Properties

_clientMessage?

protected readonly optional _clientMessage: string;

Client-safe error message. When set, callers serializing the error to a client (SSE, HTTP body) MUST prefer clientMessage over message — message may contain raw upstream / SDK text including statement fragments, internal object names, and correlation IDs.

Subclasses can set this in their constructor for a fixed sanitized string. When unset, clientMessage defaults to a generic per-code string (see the getter), and the raw message is kept server-side only.

Inherited from

AppKitError._clientMessage

cause?

readonly optional cause: Error;

Optional cause of the error

Inherited from

AppKitError.cause

code

readonly code: "INITIALIZATION_ERROR" = "INITIALIZATION_ERROR";

Error code for programmatic error handling

Overrides

AppKitError.code

context?

readonly optional context: Record<string, unknown>;

Additional context for the error

Inherited from

AppKitError.context

isRetryable

readonly isRetryable: true = true;

Whether this error type is generally safe to retry

Overrides

AppKitError.isRetryable

statusCode

readonly statusCode: 500 = 500;

HTTP status code suggestion (can be overridden)

Overrides

AppKitError.statusCode

Accessors

clientMessage

Get Signature

get clientMessage(): string;

Sanitized message safe to forward to clients. Override in subclasses if a more specific default is appropriate.

Returns

string

Inherited from

AppKitError.clientMessage

Methods
