Insufficient Error Handling in saveChats Function #2

Description

@beetle-ai

ISSUE_NUMBER: GH-006

Description

The saveChats function in src/functions/saveChats.ts lacks proper error handling and logging. While errors are caught and logged to the console, no further action is taken, potentially leading to unacknowledged failures. The success message is also not helpful for production debugging.
File: repositories/ChatServer/src/functions/saveChats.ts
Line: 7-11
Severity: high

Current Behavior

The function logs errors to the console but doesn't handle them, and the success message is not informative.

Expected Behavior

The function should handle errors gracefully, potentially retrying the operation or notifying an administrator. The success message should be more informative or use a proper logging mechanism.

Suggested Fix

  1. Implement more robust error handling within the catch block, such as retrying the database operation or sending an error notification.
  2. Replace console.log with a more appropriate logging mechanism (e.g., using a dedicated logging library) that allows for different log levels and easier debugging in production.

Code Context

try {
await Chat.create({
sender, receiver, message, chatRoom: room, senderName: sendBy, chatType
})
console.log("chat saved success")
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}

Additional Notes

This issue can lead to lost chat messages without any indication of failure.
