Enable yellow screen of death

Hello,

This is probably more of a generic .Net question, however, I thought I would post in here initially as it's an Episerver solution where I'm experiencing the problem.

I cannot enable the familar and developer-friendly "yellow screen of death" in an Episerver 10 solution I'm working on.

I've tried the following:

Switched errorMode to detailed in the WebConfig

<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" existingResponse="Replace" >
  <clear/>
</httpErrors>

Set customErrors to Off (yes, with a captal O).
Set Episerver gloablErrorHandling to Off
Ensured debug is set to true
Disabled any HandleError filters which you would normally see in the Global.asax.cs - e.g.
```
filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute())
```
Checked for any custom View rendering engines. There was one, but I've now disabled it.
Uninstalled any error handling modules that we had which could have buried it - such as ELMAH and Bvn404Handler.
Literally, been through every initialization module and disabled them.

And so I'm at the point of desperation where one resorts to posting on a forum at 5.15pm on a Friday ;)

Can anyone think of something I may have missed?

Hi Jay

I have one more thing to check.

Have you logged in to Episerver as an admin? If not, then you may try that.

By default admins are allowed to see YSODs, while public users are not.

You can even grant that right to specific users and groups. Here’s how to do that.

Try this:

existingResponse="Replace""PassThrough"

Great, that done the trick. Thanks Marcus! I guess this suggests that there is a lower-level error handler within the Episerver repository.

Useful to know for anybody else who may run into this problem.

Marcus's suggestion should work, or you can simple remove the entire

section
