GPUDevice: popErrorScope() method

Secure contextAvailable in workers

The popErrorScope() method of the GPUDevice interface pops an existing GPU error scope from the error scope stack (originally pushed using pushErrorScope()) and returns a Promise that resolves to an object describing the first error captured in the scope, or null if no error occurred.

Syntax

popErrorScope()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A Promise that resolves to an object describing the first error captured in the scope. This can be of type:

• GPUInternalError
• GPUOutOfMemoryError
• GPUValidationError

If no error occurred, it resolves to null.

Examples

The following example uses an error scope to capture a suspected validation error, logging it to the console.

device.pushErrorScope("validation");

let sampler = device.createSampler({
  maxAnisotropy: 0, // Invalid, maxAnisotropy must be at least 1.
});

device.popErrorScope().then((error) => {
  if (error) {
    sampler = null;
    console.error(`An error occurred while creating sampler: ${error.message}`);
  }
});
