Notify on errors when loading the default filters

[AdrianBZG]

Sometimes the user get stuck in a mine that is giving errors, without the possibility to continue using the browser. To avoid this, notify that there is a problem and move to HumanMine

@AdrianBZG sir, can you please give some screenshots or cases that I can try. I will work on this issue.

Hey! Can I take this up?
Thank you

Hi @Dhruvi16 ,

Sure. Ideally we would like to display an error message when there's an error loading the mine when accessing the data browser. In this prompt message it would be ideal to show a dropdown to choose a different mine so that the user doesn't get stuck in a not working one.

I am not sure how to reproduce this error. Could you please help me with that? I am new to the platform and I am not very familiar with the interface and data. So a little help would be nice.
Thank you
Dhruvi

@Dhruvi16 Try removing this lines that prevent some mines from appearing as an option, and then select one of them. I'm sure that some are failing for different reasons (missing entities in their schema that we use for the plots/filters, usage of HTTPS #33, etc). There are 3 lines to remove the mine pre-filtering:

Hey! I am sorry for so many doubts but I am only able to see this following window-

I think I am missing something. I am not sure about the filters you mentioned above.
Thank you
Dhruvi.

@Dhruvi16 First thing I notice is that you probably don't have the latest version of the browser: do a git pull.

About the "mine pre-filtering" I'm talking about:

In your screenshot, there's a dropdown to the left of the "Gene" button. That button gets populated with the mines in the registry.

However, since some mines are not fully compatible with this data browser, I added a filter to not added these in the dropdown when it gets populated, the filters are in this 3 lines:

https://github.com/intermine/InterMine-Data-Browser-Tool/blob/master/src/js/common.js#L1619

https://github.com/intermine/InterMine-Data-Browser-Tool/blob/master/src/js/common.js#L1622

and

https://github.com/intermine/InterMine-Data-Browser-Tool/blob/master/src/js/common.js#L1625

If you remove these lines you'll get the option to choose mines that will make the data browser explode. And that's the case we want to take into account with this issue.

I got it! I removed the prefiltering. But there is no data.
I am getting this error.

@Dhruvi16 I think that may be a HumanMine specific error. But anyway that's what we want to handle, when an error occurs, prompt the user to change mine instead.
