https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Create-more-helpful-Error-texts-in-Qlik-Sense/idi-p/1724619 <P>As a relatively newer user of Qlik Sense, I find that Qlik's error messages are unhelpful, particularly in the load script and visualization function entry pages.&nbsp; When creating a load script or visualization, the error message "invalid expression" is overly broad and does not help identify what is causing the issue.&nbsp; The Help icon is great to look up a formula or syntax, but often in a large block of load text, or when trying out less familiar functions, the standard error messages are unhelpful and I personally spend hours trying to figure something out.&nbsp; The debugger tool similarly may show&nbsp;<EM>where&nbsp;</EM>an issue is causing an error, but gives little feedback on <EM>how</EM> to fix it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>Qlik should create a more detailed set of error messages that help users navigate the issue they are encountering, or perhaps use AI to guess what the user is <EM>trying</EM> to do and guide them in one or two directions to rectify the error.&nbsp; For example, if I have entered a "group by" clause that has an error, the error message could identify that I should be using an aggregation function, or that another function may be more helpful than "group by".&nbsp; This would especially help newer developers build experience in the platform more quickly.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>Copying&nbsp;<a href="https://community.qlik.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2677">@millerhm</a>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 25 Nov 2020 08:56:29 GMT ericjruppel 2020-11-25T08:56:29Z https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Create-more-helpful-Error-texts-in-Qlik-Sense/idc-p/1724620#M2715 <P>cosign!</P> Thu, 02 Jul 2020 18:08:00 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Create-more-helpful-Error-texts-in-Qlik-Sense/idc-p/1724620#M2715 millerhm 2020-07-02T18:08:00Z https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Create-more-helpful-Error-texts-in-Qlik-Sense/idc-p/1725001#M2729 <P>+1&nbsp;</P><P>The Qlik Sense IDE could do with a general upgrade, perhaps if we could bring our own tooling and integrate it easier i.e. use vscode more natively?</P> Sat, 04 Jul 2020 09:32:13 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Create-more-helpful-Error-texts-in-Qlik-Sense/idc-p/1725001#M2729 Carl_Hunter 2020-07-04T09:32:13Z https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Create-more-helpful-Error-texts-in-Qlik-Sense/idc-p/1733167#M3080 <P>Thank you for your feedback on ways to improve our product.
