Uncaught Error: A cross-origin error was thrown. React doesn't have access to the actual error object in development

Question

Every time I submit a zone, it displays this error:

'Uncaught Error: A cross-origin error was thrown. React doesn't have access to the actual error object in development'

It only occurs when I press on the submit zone button which I guess is happening when the old states are being changed to the new one. (this.setState)

CreateZone.js

import React, { Component } from "react";

export default class CreateZone extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      zone: {
        name: "",
        zipCode: "",
      },
    };
  }

  updateZone(event) {
    let updated = Object.assign({}, this.state.zone);
    updated[event.target.id] = event.target.value;
    this.setState({
      zone: updated,
    });
  }

  submitZone(event) {
    console.log("SubmitZone: " + JSON.stringify(this.state.zone));
    this.props.onCreate(this.state.zone);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <input
          onChange={this.updateZone.bind(this)}
          className="form-control"
          id="name"
          type="text"
          placeholder="Name"
        />{" "}
        <br />
        <input
          onChange={this.updateZone.bind(this)}
          className="form-control"
          id="zipCode"
          type="text"
          placeholder="Zip Code"
        />{" "}
        <br />
        <input
          onClick={this.submitZone.bind(this)}
          className="btn btn-danger"
          type="submit"
          value="Submit Zone"
        />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Zones.js

import React, { Component } from "react";
import superagent from "superagent";
import { CreateZone, Zone } from "../presentation";

export default class Zones extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      list: [],
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    console.log("componentDidMount");
    superagent
      .get("/api/zone")
      .query(null)
      .set("Accept", "application/json")
      .end((err, response) => {
        if (err) {
          alert("ERROR: " + err);
          return;
        }
        console.log(JSON.stringify(response.body));
        let results = response.body.results;
        this.setState({
          list: results,
        });
      });
  }

  addZone(zone) {
    let updatedZone = Object.assign({}, zone);
    updatedZone["zipCodes"] = updatedZone.zipCode.split(",");
    console.log("ADD ZONE: " + JSON.stringify(updatedZone));

    superagent
      .post("/api/zone")
      .send(updatedZone)
      .set("Accept", "application/json")
      .end((err, response) => {
        if (err) {
          alert("ERROR: " + err.message);
          return;
        }
        console.log("ZONE CREATED: " + JSON.stringify(response));
        let updatedList = Object.assign([], this.state.list);
        updatedList.push(response.result);
        this.setState({
          list: updatedList,
        });
      });
  }

  render() {
    const listItems = this.state.list.map((zone, i) => {
      return (
        <li key={i}>
          {" "}
          <Zone currentZone={zone} />{" "}
        </li>
      );
    });

    return (
      <div>
        <ol>{listItems}</ol>
        <CreateZone onCreate={this.addZone.bind(this)} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Zone.js

import React, { Component } from "react";

import styles from "./styles";

export default class Zone extends Component {
  render() {
    const zoneStyle = styles.zone;

    return (
      <div style={zoneStyle.container}>

          <a style={zoneStyle.title} href="#">
            {" "}

Frequently I too get this error, to solve this error 1. Open Dev tools 2. Go to Application section 3. Clear the local storage by right clicking it.

Hope your error is resolved
