What are the common error messages to expect in Web browsers' console logs?
After integrating the Agora Web SDK into your web app, you can debug your code using the console log. This document lists the common errors in the console log.
Cannot read property "appendChild" of null
Reason
The played DOM does not exist, or the element ID cannot be found.
Solution
Ensure that the parent DOM exists when you call Stream.play.
Cannot read property 'stringuid' of undefined
Reason
You have called Client.publish before the Client.join method call succeeds.
Solution
Check your code logic and ensure that you call Client.publish after the Client.join method call succeeds.
Connect choose server timeout
Same reason and solution as Failed to load resource.
DTLS failed
The following table lists the possible reasons and corresponding solutions:
| Reason | Solution |
|---|---|
| The web browser does not fully support WebRTC. | Use a Web browser supporting WebRTC. |
| The web browser has plugins that prevent WebRTC from getting an ICE candidate on the local device. | Disable the problematic browser plugins. |
| The user's gateway firewall disables the UDP protocol or the UDP ports greater than 10000. | Disable the firewall or use the Agora Cloud Proxy service. |
| You set the web browser to use the VP8 codec, but the user uses the Safari browser that does not support VP8. | The user can either upgrade the Safari browser to versions later than 12.1, or use the Chrome browser. |
| You set the web browser to use the H.264 codec, but the user's device hardware does not support H.264. | Set the web browser to use VP8. |
| Connection issues of a network provider. | The user can try switching to a different network, for example, using a cellular data connection. |
If the error persists after troubleshooting, contact support@agora.io.
Failed to execute 'addStream' on 'RTCPeerConnection': parameter 1 is not of type 'MediaStream'
Reason
You have called Client.publish before the Stream.init method call succeeds.
Solution
Call publish in the onSuccess callback of Stream.init.
Failed to load resource
Reason
The local DNS resolution fails.
Solution
The user can change the DNS server address and try joining the channel again.
- For a user in Mainland China, change the DNS server address to
114.114.114.114. - For a user outside Mainland China, change the DNS server address to
8.8.8.8.
Failed to set remote answer sdp: Called in wrong state: kStable
This error is caused by calling switchDevice and can be ignored.
Media access MEDIA_NOT_SUPPORT: video/audio streams not supported yet /enumerateDevices() not supported
Reason
Possible reasons:
- The web browser is incompatible with the Agora Web SDK.
- HTTPS protocol is not used.
- Localhost is not used.
Solution
- Use a supported Web browser.
- Deploy your web app through HTTPS or localhost.
Invalid elementID
Reason
The HTMLElementID specified in Stream.play is invalid.
Solution
Ensure that the string in HTMLElementID contains only "_", "-", ".", or any digits and letters in the ASCII character set. The string must be non-empty and less than 256 bytes in length.
INVALID_VENDOR_KEY
Reason
Possible reasons:
- The App ID is invalid. For example, the Agora project is disabled, or the App ID is not yet active within a newly created project.
- The token is invalid.
Solution
Check your settings for appId in Client.init and tokenOrKey in Client.join. Ensure that the App ID and token are correct and valid.
NO_CANDIDATES_IN_OFFER
Same reason and solution as None Ice Candidate not allowed.
None Ice Candidate not allowed
Reason
When establishing a WebRTC connection, the SDK fails to find any ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) candidate.
Solution
The type of candidates used for connection depends on whether you have enabled cloud proxy or not. Choose one of the following solutions accordingly.
- If you have enabled cloud proxy, the SDK gets relay candidates from a TURN server. Check whether you have whitelisted the IP addresses and ports that Agora provides for cloud proxy, and ensure that the local client can connect to the TURN server.
- If you have not enabled cloud proxy, the SDK gets host candidates from the local device. In this case, the error is usually caused by the security settings of the local device.
- Check whether the browser has any plugins that disable WebRTC.
- Ensure that you have enabled UDP in the system firewall, and added the specified domains and ports to the whitelist.
P2P lost
Same reason and solution as DTLS failed.
UID_CONFLICT
Reason
Multiple users joins the channel with the same uid.
Solution
Ensure that all users in a channel have a unique uid.
Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'addTransceiver' on 'RTCPeerConnection': This operation is only supported in 'unified-plan'.
Reason
A mobile device emulator is running in the web browser.
Solution
Agora Web SDK does not support emulated mobile devices. Do not use an emulator to debug your app.
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'createObjectURL' on 'URL': No function was found that matched the signature provided
Reason
A mobile device emulator is running in the web browser.
Solution
Agora Web SDK does not support mobile device emulators. Do not use an emulator to debug your app.
User is not in the session
Reason
The connection has not been established. This is usually the result of an incorrect API call sequence, for example, calling Client.publish after Client.leave.
Solution
Check your API call sequence.
