Dexie.VersionChangeError

Inheritance Hierarchy

Description

Happens when another database instance deletes or upgrades the database so that the own instance had to be closed. The host wep app is probably not in sync with the latest version of the database. A typical solution is for the current web app to be updated from the server.

Sample using Promise.catch()

doSomeDatabaseWork().then(function(){
    // Success
}).catch(Dexie.VersionChangeError, function (e) {
    // Failed with VersionChangeError
    console.error ("VersionChange error: " + e.message);
}).catch(Error, function (e) {
    // Any other error derived from standard Error
    console.error ("Error: " + e.message);
}).catch(function (e) {
    // Other error such as a string was thrown
    console.error (e);
});

Sample: switch(error.name)

db.on('error', function (error) {
    switch (error.name) {
        case Dexie.errnames.VersionChange:
            console.error ("VersionChanged error");
            break;
        default:
            console.error ("error: " + e.message);
    }
});
