This page helps you view, debug, and fix Chat apps, card, and dialog errors.
How errors appear
When a Google Chat app returns an error, it manifests like this:
- A message like "App is not responding.", "Something went wrong.", or "Unable to process your request" displays.
- The app doesn't work as intended.
- No message displays, and the app doesn't respond.
When a card returns an error, it manifests like this:
- Part of a card, like a widget or component, doesn't appear or renders in an unexpected way.
- The entire card doesn't appear.
- A dialog closes, doesn't open, or doesn't load.
Although an error message might not display in the Chat UI, descriptive error messages and log data are available to help you fix errors when error logging for Chat apps is turned on.
