Currently, when a server query or mutation from the front-end fails, the
error message defined server-side is displayed in a snackbar in the
front-end.
These error messages usually contain technical details that don't belong
to the user interface, such as "ObjectMetadataCollection not found" or
"invalid ENUM value for ...".
**BE**
In addition to the original error message that is still needed (for the
request response, debugging, sentry monitoring etc.), we add a
`displayedErrorMessage` that will be used in the snackbars. It's only
relevant to add it for the messages that will reach the FE (ie. not in
jobs or in rest api for instance) and if it can help the user sort out /
fix things (ie. we do add displayedErrorMessage for "Cannot create
multiple draft versions for the same workflow" or "Cannot delete
[field], please update the label identifier field first", but not
"Object metadata does not exist"), even if in practice in the FE users
should not be able to perform an action that will not work (ie should
not be able to save creation of multiple draft versions of the same
workflows).
**FE**
To ease the usage we replaced enqueueSnackBar with enqueueErrorSnackBar
and enqueueSuccessSnackBar with an api that only requires to pass on the
error.
If no displayedErrorMessage is specified then the default error message
is `An error occured.`
This PR aims at improving readability in sentry and user experience with
runtime errors.
**GraphQL errors (and ApolloError)**
1. In sentry we have a lot of "Object captured as exception with keys:
extensions, message" errors (2k over the last 90d), on which we have
zero information. This is because in apollo-factory we were passing on
GraphQL errors to sentry directly why sentry expects the structure of a
JS Error. We are now changing that, rebuilding an Error object and
attempting to help grouping by creating a fingerPrint based on error
code and truncated operationName (same as we do in the back for 500
graphql errors).
2. In sentry we have a lot of ApolloError, who actually correspond to
errors that should not be logged in sentry (Forbidden errors such as
"Email is not verified"), or errors that are already tracked by back-end
(Postgres errors such as "column xxx does not exist"). This is because
ApolloErrors become unhandled rejections errors if they are not caught
and automatically sent to sentry through the basic config. To change
that we are now filtering out ApolloErrors created from GraphQL Errors
before sending error to sentry:

/>
**Runtime errors**
4. Runtime errors were all caught by sentry with the name "Error",
making them not easy to differentiate on sentry (they were not grouped
together but all appeared in the list as "Error"). We are replacing the
"Error" name with the error message, or the error code if present. We
are introducing a CustomError class that allows errors whose message
contain dynamic text (an id for instance) to be identified on sentry
with a common code. _(TODO: if this approach is validated then I have
yet to replace Error with dynamic error messages with CustomError)_
5. Runtime error messages contain technical details that do not mean
anything to users (for instance, "Invalid folder ID: ${droppableId}",
"ObjectMetadataItem not found", etc.). Let's replace them with "Please
refresh the page." to users and keep the message error for sentry and
our dev experience (they will still show in the console as uncaught
errors).
Add support for indexes on composite fields and unicity constraint on
indexes
This pull request includes several changes across multiple files to
improve error handling, enforce unique constraints, and update database
migrations. The most important changes include updating error messages
for snack bars, adding a new command to enforce unique constraints, and
updating database migrations to include new fields and constraints.
