Catching uncaught exceptions with node v0.10.13
// this catches the error (good) but still crashes (bad)
// was process.uncaughtException already deprecated?
// (shouldn't have been yet - http://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_event_uncaughtexception)
process.on('uncaughtException', function(error) {
return console.error("CAUGHT uncaughtException", error);
});
throw new Error("A big error!");
setInterval((function() {
return console.log('still here');
}), 1000);
# this doesn't even catch the error
## apparently as designed -- see https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/1438
process.on 'uncaughtException', (error)->
console.error "CAUGHT uncaughtException", error
throw new Error "A big error!"
setInterval (-> console.log('still here')), 1000
// this catches and keeps running.
var domain = require('domain');
var myDomain = domain.create()
myDomain.on('error', function(error){
console.error("Caught domain error", error);
});
myDomain.run(function(){
setInterval((function() {
return console.log('still here');
}), 1000);
throw new Error("An error in the domain!");
});
## this fails!! - normal exception & crash
## (run w/ `coffee [PATH]`)
domain = require 'domain'
myDomain = domain.create()
myDomain.on 'error', (error)->
console.error "Caught domain error", error
myDomain.run ->
setInterval (-> return console.log 'still here'), 1000
throw new Error "An error in the domain!"
## interestingly, this works! just added `process.nextTick`
## (ideas from https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/coffeescript/TzQyqVyn1JQ/FtXnMgwKE80J)
domain = require 'domain'
myDomain = domain.create()
myDomain.on 'error', (error)->
console.error "Caught domain error", error
myDomain.run ->
process.nextTick ->
setInterval (-> return console.log 'still here'), 1000
throw new Error "An error in the domain!"
