Polling wasn’t effective because:
- Hot reloading did not happen because of some heap limit error.
- I called the wrong function to check if the reCaptcha errored.
To deal with the heap limit, my buddy suggested updating the docker-dev script in package.json to:
{
"scripts": {
"docker-dev": "export NODE_OPTIONS=\"--max-old-space-size=4096\" && ..."
}
}
As for checking if the reCaptcha errored, neither on-expire nor captchaService.isValid worked. A possible explanation for the former would be that the reCaptcha didn’t expire. It just didn’t work. On the other hand, captchaService.isValid checks this.response || !this.enabled. These do not determine if the reCaptcha errored.
My buddy wondered if there was something like on-error. He dug through the reCaptcha package’s source code and found it in the directive. This jewel wasn’t documented. I proceeded to use on-error with much success!
