Description

Thanks for the new sieve editor:) I encountered one minor problem.

Expected behavior

The new sieve editor should give you an easily understandable error message if your script contains errors.

Actual behavior

The editor just displays: Oh snap. Request failed with 500

Research direction

Start in the Sieve Editor by reproducing the issue with an invalid script and observing the current “Oh snap. Request failed with 500” response. Done means script errors are shown with an easily understandable message instead of the generic request failure.
