Error: url.hash is inaccessible from load. Consider accessing hash from the page store within the script tag of your component.

Describe the bug

Once I updated the latest svelte-kit version and above (x > @sveltejs/kit@1.0.0-next.405) I am getting the following error when I just try to use the url in the load function. As you can see from the repro I don't even try to access the url.hash but it still reports as it's illegal to do it.

See the contents of +layout.js.

Reproduction

It's not technically a bug, though I can see why it would be frustrating. You are accessing url.hash, because console.log is trying to access it to log its value.

[callmeberzerker]

Oh yeah, of course toString() would try to print the hash as well. 🤦‍♂️Found also the PR/reasoning for this change - although it kinda didn't account for these kind of frustrating experiences. 😅

I can close the issue if this is not something to be reconsidered.

If we wanted we could override LoadURL.prototype.toString so that it returns the URL without the hash? People would miss out on the warning, but I think that's probably better than the current thing

[Rich-Harris]

Actually wait, toString doesn't invoke the getter:

(though we should override it anyway because it's currently revealing the hash)

Ok, so the issue here is that Node behaves in a non-standard way — browsers will log the object just fine, but Node does things differently. We can fix it like this...

import util from 'node:util';

export class LoadURL extends URL {
  /** @returns {string} */
  get hash() {
    throw new Error(
      'url.hash is inaccessible from load. Consider accessing hash from the page store within the script tag of your component.'
    );
  }

  [util.inspect.custom]() {
    return this.toString(); // or something that better resembles the current output
  }

  toString() {
    return this.origin + this.pathname + this.search;
  }
}

...but that doesn't work outside Node environments. Hmm.
