Prevent reporting exceptions caused by user input.

[daniel-de-wit]

How do I prevent an Exception caused by user input to be reported?

For example: the following GraphQL query throws an GraphQL\Error\Error exception when a user provides a number that exceeds the maximum Int value.

query {
  example(
    # Int cannot represent non 32-bit signed integer value: 500000100000
    argument: 500000100000
  )
}

GraphQL\Error\Error
Int cannot represent non 32-bit signed integer value: 500000100000

I fear adding the exception to the $dontReport section will cause all errors from being reported.

# app/Exceptions/Handler.php

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
    /**
     * A list of the exception types that are not reported.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $dontReport = [
        \GraphQL\Error\Error::class,
    ];

Are you using Lighthouse?

Lighthouse will catch exceptions thrown during the execution of a query and return them as part of the response.

The error handler Nuwave\Lighthouse\Execution\ReportingErrorHandler is included in the default configuration
and reports non-client-safe errors through the default Laravel exception handler.

Client-safe errors are assumed to be something that:

• a client can understand and handle
• were caused by client misuse, e.g. wrong syntax, authentication, validation
  Thus, they are typically not actionable for server developers.

Yes I am using Lighthouse.

The way you describe how Lighthouse exception handler works is perfect.

I found the culprit to be a combination of 2 .env variables being set on the project.

APP_DEBUG=true
LIGHTHOUSE_DEBUG=15

After setting the default LIGHTHOUSE_DEBUG=3 everything works as expected.

Thank you very much!
