consoleerrorerror
Consoleerrorerror is an informal term used in software development to describe a situation where a log entry produced by a console.error call contributes to additional errors, creating a noisy, sometimes recursive cascade of messages. It is not an official error type but rather a label used in debugging discussions and issue trackers to describe logging-induced errors or log storms.
Causes and mechanisms vary, but common scenarios include an error handler that itself throws, a logging implementation
Symptoms of consoleerrorerror include rapid growth in the number of error messages, log flooding, higher CPU
Mitigation focuses on making error handling and logging robust. Best practices include avoiding throwing from within
