RTCPeerConnection: icecandidateerror event
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
TheWebRTC API eventicecandidateerror
is sent to anRTCPeerConnection
if an error occurs while performing ICE negotiations through aSTUN orTURN server. The event object is of typeRTCPeerConnectionIceErrorEvent
, and contains information describing the error in some amount of detail.
This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods likeaddEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("icecandidateerror", (event) => { })onicecandidateerror = (event) => { }
Event type
AnRTCPeerConnectionIceErrorEvent
. Inherits fromEvent
.
Event properties
TheRTCPeerConnectionIceErrorEvent
interface includes the properties found on theEvent
interface, as well as the following properties:
address
Read onlyA string providing the local IP address used to communicate with theSTUN orTURN server being used to negotiate the connection, or
null
if the local IP address has not yet been exposed as part of a local ICE candidate.errorCode
Read onlyAn unsigned integer value stating the numericSTUN error code returned by the STUN or TURN server. If no host candidate can reach the server, this property is set to the number 701, which is outside the range of valid STUN error codes. The 701 error is fired only once per server URL, and only while the
iceGatheringState
isgathering
.errorText
Read onlyA string containing the STUN reason text returned by the STUN or TURN server. If communication with the STUN or TURN server couldn't be established at all, this string will be a browser-specific string explaining the error.
port
Read onlyAn unsigned integer value giving the port number over which communication with the STUN or TURN server is taking place, using the IP address given in
address
.null
if the connection hasn't been established (that is, ifaddress
isnull
).url
Read onlyA string indicating the URL of the STUN or TURN server with which the error occurred.
Description
The error object'serrorCode
property is one of the numeric STUN error codes. There is one additional, WebRTC-specific, error which lies outside the valid STUN error code range: 701. Error 701 indicates that none of the ICE candidates were able to successfully make contact with the STUN or TURN server.
The 701 error is fired only once per server URL from the list of available STUN or TURN servers provided when creating theRTCPeerConnection
. These errors occur only when the connection'sICE gathering state isgathering
.
Example
The following example establishes a handler foricecandidateerror
s that occur on theRTCPeerConnection
pc
. This handler looks specifically for 701 errors that indicate that candidates couldn't reach the STUN or TURN server.
When this happens, the server URL and the error message are passed to a function calledreportConnectFail()
to log or output the connection failure.
pc.addEventListener("icecandidateerror", (event) => { if (event.errorCode === 701) { reportConnectFail(event.url, event.errorText); }});
Note that if multiple STUN and/or TURN servers are provided when creating the connection, this error may happen more than once, if more than one of those servers fails. Each provided server is tried until a connection is established.
