Unsure whether to say this "fixes" #32620 , it simply makes the error less crap.

This fixes:

  • A bug where we would overwrite invite specific errors
  • The lack of tests around that area
  • A lack of type-checking on JoinRoomErrorPayload.

public showJoinRoomError(err: unknown, roomId: string | null): void {
let description: ReactNode = err instanceof Error && err.message ? err.message : JSON.stringify(err);
if (err instanceof MatrixError === false) {
// This isn't a MatrixError so just show the error verbatim.

This changes the error to log description, which might not actually be what we want to do. Should we be logging the err?
