WebGLRenderingContext.getError

The WebGLRenderingContext.getError() method of the WebGL API returns error information.

GLenum gl.getError();

None.

Constant	Description
`gl.NO_ERROR`	No error has been recorded. The value of this constant is 0.
`gl.INVALID_ENUM`	An unacceptable value has been specified for an enumerated argument. The command is ignored and the error flag is set.
`gl.INVALID_VALUE`	A numeric argument is out of range. The command is ignored and the error flag is set.
`gl.INVALID_OPERATION`	The specified command is not allowed for the current state. The command is ignored and the error flag is set.
`gl.INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION`	The currently bound framebuffer is not framebuffer complete when trying to render to or to read from it.
`gl.OUT_OF_MEMORY`	Not enough memory is left to execute the command.
`gl.CONTEXT_LOST_WEBGL`	If the WebGL context is lost, this error is returned on the first call to `getError`. Afterwards and until the context has been restored, it returns `gl.NO_ERROR`.
