fix(devtools): handle transient RPC failures in getOptions/telemetryEvent - #1072
Conversation
…vent The DevTools client calls `getOptions` and `telemetryEvent` eagerly on connect, with no error handling. If the RPC connection is torn down and re-established (e.g. after a Nuxt dev-server reload) while these calls are in flight, birpc rejects them with `function "..." not found", which surfaced as an uncaught `Error` in the browser console instead of being handled gracefully. Catch these rejections and log a diagnostic `console.error" instead, falling back to the already-seeded in-memory defaults so the DevTools UI stays usable.

Register a retry watcher or equivalent settled-load path that observes later
edits and calls rpc.updateOptions, while reconciling the failed load before
writing to avoid persisting the default-filled source snapshot as a complete

Install a persistence retry path after getOptions fails.
watchDebounced is created only inside the successful .then branch. When rpc.getOptions(tab) rejects, this handler logs the error and leaves the UI on default refs, but no watcher observes later edits. The user can change an option locally, but rpc.updateOptions is never called, so the change is lost on reload.
If fallback edits must remain persistable, register a retry path after the load settles. Reconcile the failed load before writing because packages/devtools/src/server-rpc/options.ts:11-68 merges the complete payload into persisted settings; do not blindly persist the default-filled source snapshot.

Problem
The DevTools client SPA calls
getOptionsandtelemetryEventeagerlythe moment it connects (
useDevToolsOptions('behavior')and the initialtelemetry('open', ..., true)call), with no error handling on eitherRPC call.
birpc rejects an in-flight call with
[birpc] function "..." not foundwhenever the connection is torn down and re-established while the call
is outstanding (e.g. right after a Nuxt dev-server reload triggered by
an edit to
nuxt.config.ts). Because neither call site had a.catch(),this rejection surfaced as a raw, alarming
Uncaught (in promise) Errorin the browser console instead of being handled gracefully — exactly the
symptom reported for
nuxt:devtools:getOptions/nuxt:devtools:telemetryEvent.These two are the only RPC calls fired automatically on connect; every
other server function is only called lazily once a user opens a specific
tab, which is why this narrow race only ever manifests for these two.
Fix
Catch the rejection at both call sites and log a diagnostic
console.errorinstead, so:getOptionsfailures fall back to the already-seeded in-memorydefaults, keeping the settings UI usable.
updateOptionswrite triggered by the settingswatchDebouncedhandler is similarly guarded (same failure class).
telemetryEventfailures are swallowed, since telemetry is inherentlybest-effort and should never surface to the user.
This is a targeted, low-risk fix for the reported symptom. It does not
change the underlying RPC reconnection behavior after a dev-server
reload — a separate, deeper improvement that could be tackled later if
it turns out to cause other user-visible gaps.
