Hi, I would like to render a custom error depending on the return status of a command call in a pre-spawn hook. Does anyone have experience with something like this or similar? It seems to me like I should be using something like what’s in handlers/pages.py but I’m not entirely sure. Thanks!

Custom JupyterHub Error Messages

I don’t see an entry for slow_spawn_timeout in our config, so we’re working with the default 10, by my read.
