Using roslibjs and rosbridge--I'd like to get more information when there is an error, particularly when connecting. My code is:

ros = new ROSLIB.Ros({
url: robotUrl
});

ros.on('error', function(error) { console.log ('Error connecting to websocket server: ' , error); });

When an error occurs, I see in the debugger that the variable "error" contains a very involved structure, and I guess the actual error message is in there somewhere, but where?

The error variable is should always be a string. You can concatenate it in the console.log statement and it should work.

When I concatenate the error variable (here's the code): "console.log ('Error connecting to websocket server: ' + error);", the result is: "Error connecting to websocket server: [object Event]" Looks like the argument called error is an Event rather than a string?

Strange, what if you just log the error variable by itself? console.log(error);, this is based off a working example: https://github.com/RobotWebTools/rosl...

In that case, I get: "Event {path: Array[0], cancelBubble: false, returnValue: true, srcElement: WebSocket, defaultPrevented: false…}" This is clickable and expands to show lots of properties. Incidentally, the debugger shows that roslib.js (line 651?) has the message. Or, at least, a message.
