      Currently we only have react error boundaries set up for the various tabs in compass (databases, collections, collection views). We should add error boundaries to the rendering of the sidebar as well. It will help gracefully handle errors that occur when a component is rendered. This should ideally should never happen, but in the case that it does happen, a user should be able to use other parts of Compass without the entire react window/instance breaking.

      Here's how we currently handle them in Compass:
