Nitro tasks error handling
I have a logic that runs in a nitro task. If there's an error, how do I display something to the user? the task is scheduled background task. How can I display errors from it on the UI?

Hi @lazygopher. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain explicit information about handling and displaying errors from Nitro scheduled background tasks (such as those run via Nitro's task system) directly to the user in the UI.
The available documentation covers error handling for API routes, server-side rendering, and client-side errors, including how to throw errors with createError in API routes or Vue components, which will trigger Nuxt's error page or can be handled with error boundaries. However, it does not describe a built-in mechanism for surfacing errors from background/scheduled Nitro tasks to the frontend UI or user session. Background tasks typically run outside the request/response cycle, so their errors are not automatically propagated to the user's UI context in the same way as API or page errors.
If you need to display errors from background tasks to users, you would likely need to implement a custom solution, such as logging errors to a database or persistent store and then exposing them via an API endpoint that your UI can poll or fetch. But this approach is not described in the provided knowledge sources.
If you need more details on error handling in Nuxt for API routes or UI components, I can provide that information from the sources above.
