## Expected behavior

I want to show the error text I throw in the orange error popup. I talk about extended routes.

## Actual behavior

When I’ve got an error in a collection (Users here), Forest produce this error text : `Users deletion failed: unexpected error.` instead the text error I pass in the `next`.

For instance, in your documentation, it’s possible to throw a specific error text, but it never appears in the orange error popup:

```javascript
router.delete('/companies/:recordId', permissionMiddlewareCreator.delete(), (request, response, next) => {
  if (request.params.recordId === 82) {
    next(new Error('This record is protected, you cannot remove it.'));
    return;
  }

  const recordRemover = new RecordRemover(companies);
  recordRemover.remove(request.params.recordId)
    .then(() => response.status(204).send())
    .catch(next);
});

```

Hi @XavierColombel,

I think the documentation is not up-to-date.  
I’ll report this.

The following implementation should work as expected:

```javascript
router.delete('/companies/:recordId', permissionMiddlewareCreator.delete(), (request, response, next) => {
  if (request.params.recordId === 82) {
    response.status(403).send('This record is protected, you cannot remove it.');
    return;
  }

  const recordRemover = new RecordRemover(companies);
  recordRemover.remove(request.params.recordId)
    .then(() => response.status(204).send())
    .catch(next);
});

```

No, it doesn’t work. I mean, you can’t specify a text for the error.

For instance, if you have this route:

```javascript
router.delete(
  "/users",
  permissionMiddlewareCreator.delete(),
  (request, response, next) => {
    return response.status(400).send("this is a specific error!");
  },
);

```

You’ll have the default error message:

`User deletion failed: unexpected error.`

Hi Xavier,

I’ve just redone this test-case: it displays well the message error.

This minimal example:

 ![Screenshot 2020-05-26 at 16.13.32](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/1X/720ffdf7e5905547fcef6a1b82aaa688e73dc7bb.png)

Produce this error message:

 ![Screenshot 2020-05-26 at 16.09.48](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/1X/73023a36ae3dc0f4eebd24e139b9fe11c831a898.png)

And output hello in my server log.  
Can you have a try with this minimal hack?  
(I ask myself if maybe you didn’t pass the permission middleware?)

Regards

@Sliman_Medini your example is working beacause you use the route `router.delete("/user/:recordId"...`, but try with the route `router.delete("/user", permissionMiddlewareCreator.delete()` without the `recordId` in the route.

Hi Xavier,

You are right, I reproduce your problem on a bulk route ("/user")

This minimal example:

 ![Screenshot 2020-05-27 at 09.26.12](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/1X/992d0843044d3b3b0219e483c989d5439c04da8b.png)

Produce this error message:

 ![Screenshot 2020-05-27 at 09.27.28](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/1X/ebb43fa350a817e76424c8ea7c425aaa8d51f051.png)

Instead of displaying “big error here”  
I am creating a bug entry to handle this.

Regards

Hi @XavierColombel,
