Class: RetryableHttpError

Defined in: libs/act-http/src/webhook/types.ts:114

Thrown when an HTTP delivery fails in a way the drain pipeline should retry: network failure, timeout, or 5xx response. status is 0 for network / timeout errors, the HTTP status code otherwise.

The class itself is the retry signal — if a reaction throws this, drain treats it like any other error (counts against maxRetries, paces with backoff). For permanent failures, throw NonRetryableHttpError instead.

Generic enough to cover any custom HTTP-like integration (gRPC bridges, SDK-based reactions). WebhookError is a webhook-specific subclass kept for backward compatibility.

stackTraceLimit​

static stackTraceLimit: number

Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/@types+node@25.9.4/node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:67

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Methods​

captureStackTrace()​

static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void

Defined in: node_modules/.pnpm/@types+node@25.9.4/node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:51

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();
