Well, that is interesting. It _seems_ that the bug I’m chasing could well be related to the “Failed to construct Notification” error. **IF** that is the case, I believe that the only place where this piece of code (`new Notification`) appears is in core Discourse. So it _could_ be a bug in core. That said, I’m sure more people would be reporting it if this was a problem with core Discourse. So it’s more likely a plugin issue that is breaking core. Can I ask what non-Discourse plugins you have installed? Let’s see if we can find some common potential cause outside of core. I don’t have much data on the “Failed to construct” issue at the moment, but what data I have points to a small group of users/devices that are causing the errors. > [@thefreekick](#): > > Did you figure this out? I’m getting lots of these too. @thefreekick, how about you? Do you see anything like the same bug that we’re discussing here? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/failed-to-construct-notification-illegal-constructor/106450)._
