Got a bad node with text... Error

MikeJones

In sentry I just got a ton of errors:

All the errors seem slightly different, here are a couple.

Got a bad node with textNode.data: 10 months textNode.textContent: 10 months textNode.nodeValue: 10 months textNode.wholeText: 10 months later

Got a bad node with textNode.data: California textNode.textContent: California textNode.nodeValue: California textNode.wholeText: California

Got a bad node with textNode.data: Original Post textNode.textContent: Original Post textNode.nodeValue: Original Post textNode.wholeText: Original Post

Got a bad node with textNode.data: Now textNode.textContent: Now textNode.nodeValue: Now textNode.wholeText: Now

Any idea what all these could have been?

MikeJones could you share the details of one of those errors, in particular the browser? Are all errors coming from the same browser, or even the exact same visitor?

If it happens across a range of different browsers, could you share your php flarum info ?

The "10 months later" must be related to the virtual post entry between actual posts that are far apart.

The "Original Post" and "Now" must be related to the scrubber.

"California" I'm not sure where it's coming from? Username? Or from an extension?

However I have never seen such a javascript error and I have no idea what could cause it. It must be somehow related to Mithril creating the text nodes during rendering.

California is one of my tag names so I assume that is where it is coming from.

@MikeJones HeadlessChrome is used for web scraping. If all errors are from there, I'd wouldn't worry much about it, and just ignore.

w-4 should I be worried about someone scraping my website?

As long as it doesn't affect your server performance, I'd say no.
