What is this applicaiton error?

I’m trying to cilp an article from Washington Post (which I subscribe) and I’m getting this error:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

What does that mean?

It means that you must check the browser console (open developer tools in your browser and select the “Console” tab). Have a look at the error details there.

Interesting. I’ll try that.

I did discover this:

  • Using the DEVONthink clip tool in the Safari toolbar, I am getting this error for this WaPo article.
  • However, if I use the Mac menubar’s DEVONthink clip tool, I’m not getting this error. Same article.

Well, I was able to open up that Javascript console but nothing there makes sense to me. I do see some errors. I’m not a programmer; none of those errors make them actionable items for me :slight_smile:

Copy-pasting them might perhaps give others a clue.

I think the error means there’s nothing worth reading on the WaPo site :thinking::stuck_out_tongue:

  • Using the DEVONthink clip tool in the Safari toolbar, I am getting this error for this WaPo article.

So it appears to be an issue with the extension in Safari.
Have you tried Firefox?

Interesting! Same error with Firefox.
