fix for PublicApiRouter.js

[Macifier]

please modify 172 line of PublicApiRouter.js to
var params = _querystring2.default.stringify({ username: username, token: token, id: config.applicationId, error: err.message, app: config.appName });
because you are sending error object to choose_password params url so it is getting error as empty if you send err.message atleast we can display error on choose_password if it doesn't match password criteria

Do you mean this line https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/blob/master/src/Routers/PublicAPIRouter.js#L159?

Do you want to submit a Pull Request?

@Macifier I put this up for grabs as I don't have time right now. @montymxb

So the only suggested change here is to the current line:

const params = qs.stringify({username: username, token: token, id: config.applicationId, error:err, app:config.appName});

by passing err.message instead of just err, just to make it clear.

@Macifier your issue is a need for customization right? Can you detail exactly what the existing problem is with the current passing of err? It is an object, but it should be encoded in the url string, or is just ending up completely blank as you mentioned?

[Macifier]

it is ending up blank yes thats the line i have tested it locally but if we modify it to err.message then it works fine

I would be nice to keep the entire error object, or most of it. The error code would also be useful for example. It sounds like the object just needs to be prepped to stringify, surprised it isn't just automatically encoded with the rest of the params.

@Macifier do you think you could put something together to that extend? If you can put up a PR that would be quite helpful. I'm running around at the moment and won't be able to make the change anytime soon myself.

How?

@paulovitin I'm fantastic at getting back to notifications on time! 🤣 (extreme sarcasm...)

Sorry about the wait.
Something like JSON.stringify followed by urlencode could do the trick. Then we would be able to pass it a url encoded json string, allowing us to later decode to get the error object back.
