i have node application defines modules starts express server. problem is, express server doesn't start , don't see errors.
when happens, scan git diff potential syntax errors , fix them. resolves problem, , server starts again.
the thing is, i'm not sure why these syntax errors failing silently.
i'll give example:
module.exports = function(server){ this.register = function (params) { return this.models.user.register(user) } // syntax error - closing bracket } return } when removed bracket, server started again, have thought i'd see syntax error raised instead of having blindly hunt bugs.
some more context: main.js file defines function returns promise. promise invoked running script directly (nodejs main.js).
a lot of code in app written promises. have effect of squelching errors? how can ensure errors logged regardless of scope occur in?
you can start logging unhandled promise rejections with:
process.on("unhandledrejection", (err) => { console.error(err); }); we added hook year ago. have plans make logging or throwing default behavior, apologize taking long.
