Enhance Exception Handling and Error Reporting
#
Summary
The current exception and error handling mechanism in the application is inconsistent and insufficient in several areas. This results in unclear error messages, missing logs, and difficulty in debugging and maintenance.
This issue aims to implement a structured, centralised, and standardised error-handling system across the application.
Objectives
Ensure all exceptions are handled gracefully
Standardise API error responses
Improve logging and traceability
Prevent unhandled runtime failures
Enhance developer and user experience
Current Problems
Unhandled exceptions in multiple modules
Inconsistent HTTP status codes
Non-standard error response formats
Missing or insufficient error logs
Sensitive error details exposed in production
Lack of centralised error middleware/handler
Proposed Improvements
Implement global/centralised exception handler
Define standard error response schema
Add structured logging (request ID, timestamps, stack traces)
Map common exceptions to HTTP status codes
Implement environment-based error messages (dev vs prod)
Add custom exception classes
Improve frontend error display (if applicable)
