Cannot handle error on auth session start
When I auth the user and a session is already initialized, I get this response in the console
TypeScript
{
"message": "Creation of a session is prohibited when a session is active.",
"code": 401,
"type": "user_session_already_exists",
"version": "1.5.7"
}
But when I console.log the response, it doesn't log. How am I supposed to handle the issue if I cannot get the error why the session can't start?
TypeScript
let session = await appwrite.account.createEmailPasswordSession(username, password);
console.log("session", session)
TL;DR
Developers are unable to handle the error on the auth session start. The user is trying to log out to log in again but the error codes are not returning, and they wish to get the response instead. The user is not able to see the 'type' error code needed for handling errors.
**Solution:**
The developer should log the error in the `catch` block of the promise to see the exact 'type' error code. This way they can handle the issue and take the necessary steps. 
TypeScript
session.then(function (response) {
console.log(response); // Success
}, function (error) {
console.log(error); // Failure
});
TypeScript
let promise = appwrite.account.createEmailPasswordSession(username, password);
promise.then(function (response) {
console.log("response", response); // Success
}, function (error) {
console.log("error", error); // Failure
});
The error codes etc isn't printed, I'm looking to get the response
it means you are already logged in, you have to be log out to login again
I know, but I want to handle the error
I want to get the response code ”type”
Im only getting the message
