Subject: Error Message Regression in Superset v6 — Lack of Detailed Error Info in UI We've noticed a significant regression in error reporting when migrating from Superset v4 to v6. In Superset v4, if a datasource query fails (e.g., due to a missing table or a timeout), the UI immediately displays a detailed error dialog with the exact root cause. Example from v4: When a dashboard fails to load, a user sees in the "Filters" panel: ``` Cannot load filter Error: Received ClickHouse exception, code: 60, server response: Code: 60. DB::Exception: Table bi_sandbox.app does not exist. ``` <img width="286" height="399" alt="v4" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/485b0021-0570-424d-945b-04aec32ae9ca"; /> This allows our BI team to quickly identify and often fix the issue (e.g., a missing table, a typo in the query) without involving an administrator. In Superset v6, for the exact same failing dashboard, the UI now only shows a generic error: ``` Network error Network error while attempting to fetch resource. ``` <img width="595" height="256" alt="v6-2" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/96bf9060-3d24-43ce-940d-6c882abe2585"; /> <img width="235" height="198" alt="v6-1" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/947f6ce4-0f7b-4cae-a851-119c53609caa"; /> The actual error details (like the specific database exception) are only visible in the server logs. This forces our BI analysts to contact an administrator to check the logs, creating a bottleneck and slowing down troubleshooting significantly. Question: Was this change intentional? If so, is there a configuration setting or a feature flag in v6 to re-enable detailed error messages in the UI? If such a setting doesn't exist, we'd like to formally request it as a critical feature for operational efficiency. The v4 behavior was much more user-friendly for self-service analytics.
