Anyone do JS dev on edge? I have a site that is using extensive AJAX and JS / jQuery / etc
The site has a global error handler set up on window.onerror (only to catch unhandled exceptions and log them on the server via posting the error detail back as a json package) which works perfectly fine in IE11, Chrome, FF, Safari, but when I do the same exact thing in Edge, if the function executed in JS has an error its like the function just will not run. to test this I set up just a junk function and called it with a button press, <button onclick = "testfunc(this);"> pretty simple, put into that function some code that just says
function testfunc(button) {
throw new Error('test');
}
simple right? In Chrome, IE11, Safari, FF I get my error handler with that error message...
in Edge, that function doesn't even start to execute... remove the throw new error and put in a junk call like foo(); which is an undefined function same result.... replace that with alert('hello?'); and boom executes.....
JS isn't my primary language (actually never used it much until recently, was primary a back-end coder before) so am I missing something, doing something wrong? what? Or is something different with the Edge JS engine?
