# addErrorListener method Null safety

void addErrorListener (

1. SendPort port

)

Requests that uncaught errors of the isolate are sent back to `port`.

The errors are sent back as two elements lists. The first element is a `String` representation of the error, usually created by calling `toString` on the error. The second element is a `String` representation of an accompanying stack trace, or `null` if no stack trace was provided. To convert this back to a StackTrace object, use StackTrace.fromString.

Listening using the same port more than once does nothing. A port will only receive each error once, and will only need to be removed once using removeErrorListener.

Closing the receive port that is associated with the port does not stop the isolate from sending uncaught errors, they are just going to be lost. Instead use removeErrorListener to stop receiving errors on `port`.

Since isolates run concurrently, it's possible for it to exit before the error listener is established. To avoid this, start the isolate paused, add the listener and then resume the isolate.

## Implementation

    external void addErrorListener(SendPort port);
