google.ima.AdError

[Rod]

Hi,

We've been trying to be able to catch all the different error codes that may happen at different times

while using IMA SDK V3, however it's been a bit difficult to understand the correct usage of google.ima.AdError class in order to access it's methods.

It would be much appreciated if you could help us with a simple example on how to implement this class and the correct moment when it should be instantiated in order to get all error codes.

Thank you very much.

Hi Rod,

You don't have to implement google.ima.AdError for the purpose of getting the ad error codes.  You can use getError() from google.ima.AdErrorEvent because it returns an ad error from google.ima.AdError.  For example:

function onAdError(adErrorEvent) {
   // Handle the error logging.
   var error = adErrorEvent.getError(); 

   console.log("Error - " + error.toString());
   console.log("getErrorCode() - " + error.getErrorCode());
   console.log("getInnerError() - " + error.getInnerError());
   console.log("getMessage() - " + error.getMessage());
   console.log("getType() - " + error.getType());
   console.log("getVastErrorCode() - " + error.getVastErrorCode());
   adsManager.destroy();
}

will return something like:

Error - AdError 403: Linear assets were found in the VAST ad response, but none of them matched the video player's capabilities.
getErrorCode() - 403
getInnerError() - undefined
getMessage() - Linear assets were found in the VAST ad response, but none of them matched the video player's capabilities.
getType() - adPlayError
getVastErrorCode() - 403

Let us know if you have additional questions,

Hi there,

Is it necessary to call adsManager.destroy in AdError listener?

Doing so will destroy the playlist entirely. My first approach was not using destroy(), hopping the left ads from a playlist will load and run fine.

Cheers,
Sebi

Hi Sebastian,

Calling adsManager.destroy() (which is invoked for fatal errors) even in playlist scenarios should be fine for your remaining ads.  In a playlist, if an ad is faulty, we throw a non-fatal error instead (basically a log event) and move on.  That way, your remaining ads in the playlist will still get to play.

That means none of the error events I gave Rodrigo will be called for you.  If you still wish to obtain information for non-fatal errors, check out getAdData().
