Exceptions¶

This notebook shows an example exceptions message and report. For purposes of demonstration we run a question with non-sensical question_options in order to generate a QuestionAnswerValidationError and report with details on the error and a Performance Plot with graphical details (scroll to the bottom of the report to view).

Help debugging¶

We also show how to post the notebook to Coop which we recommend doing if you would like assistance debugging your exceptions. You can set the visibility of the notebook to public, unlisted or private, and then email us the link to inspect at info@expectedparrot.com
