A common error format is needed for the evaluate function

[sparkidev0x1D]

Currently, the errors are being thrown in different structures one may be in an array the other in an object model

It's more suitable to have a common data structure for the errors being thrown

error for
'2C + '

'SyntaxError: Unexpected end of expression (char 6)'
[
  'end of expression',
  index: 24,
  input: 'SyntaxError: Unexpected end of expression (char 6)',
  groups: undefined
]

some may be in array in nature, the other may have a Data Object inside it

error for missing a binding parameter on the expression

'TypeError: Unexpected type of argument in function addScalar (expected: Unit, actual: number, index: 1)'
{
  category: 'wrongType',
  fn: 'addScalar',
  index: 1,
  actual: 'number',
  expected: [ 'Unit' ]
}

Thanks for your suggestion. I guess we can improve there. Currently there are a couple of errors like SyntaxError, DimensionError, ArgumentsError which each attach some relevant properties like .char or .expected. I don't think this is currently documented.

Sharukh do you have any idea on how to unify this? Or would it be enough to document these properties?

I think we can implement a common error handler for the Evaluation side as of initial stage and then it could be extended to other modules, Hope it makes sense
Currently, I am a bit busy with other projects hope I could integrate it by the end of March

I'm not sure what you mean with an error handler, can you elaborate or show some pseudo code to explain what you mean? Right now Errors are thrown when there is an issue, and you can catch them with try/catch.

While consistency in error formats would be very good, there is not yet a clear actionable proposal here, so moving this to Discussions. See also #3055 which touches on error formats.
