When an error occurs while posting to a group wall, the error displayed is generic, instead of the expected user-facing message

Explanation

When making a post on a group wall, if an error occurs it is expected that an informative message is displayed to the user. However, only a generic “Unable to send post” message is displayed.

Examining the network request tab, specifically the request which errored, I saw a user-facing message within the JSON, which I suspect is what is meant to be shown in the red banner.

Reproduction

The easiest error to get is the too many posts error:

  1. Go to a group that has a group wall open (ideally one which you own or your friend’s - don’t spam random walls!)
  2. Send 4 messages to the group wall one after another.
  3. Observe the uninformative red banner which appears upon ‘posting’ the 4th message.

System / Browser

Testing was conducted in Google Chrome, on a PC running Windows 10.
