Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Why does window.onerror not catch stack overflow errors in IE9? up vote 9 down vote favorite 1 I'm internet explorer using window.onerror to catch and log client-side errors. I've read about the various caveats to this approach, but I haven't been able to track down any info on this particular case. For some reason IE9 does not seem to catch stack overflow exceptions. The below example catches both errors when run in Chrome and Firefox as well as if I use devtools in IE9 and set browser mode to IE8 or IE7. However, internet explorer error when run in IE9 mode, it only catches the 'test' is undefined exception, but ignore the stack overflow exception. I have put together a simple example, to demonstrate this: window.onerror = errorHandler; function errorHandler (msg) { alert(msg); } setTimeout(function () { test.test = "test"; }, 1000); setTimeout(function stackoverflow() { stackoverflow(); }, 2000); Here is a working example as well: http://jsfiddle.net/Mzvbk/1/ Can anyone shed some light on why this is? Update August 29, 2012 I posted this question on the Internet Explorer Developer Center as well, but so far it hasn't given me much. At this point, the best guess (as suggested by @RyanKinal in his comment) is that since the call stack size is exceeded, there is no room to put the call to the error handler on the stack. I still like to believe that error handling is handled separately from the normal stack, as it seem to be in other browser (even older versions of IE), but if that isn't the case, it would be nice to see a reference, bug-report or statement of some kind, indicating that this actually is the case with IE9. Update September 5, 2012 As described by Ren and Vega in their comments, Firefox 15 sometimes (seemingly random) seem to swallow that exception as well. javascript error-han
a fair amount of JavaScript and that is viewed in lots of different browsers (mobile, tablet, desktop). Naturally we want to log our JavaScript exceptions and their stacktraces, just like we log server-side exceptions. It is impossible to test every combination of device and browser so we rely on logging to find the edge cases we miss in our testing. The way we handle our JavaScript exceptions is to: catch the exception. collect data about the useragent, context etc. Save it to our logs by sending an ajax request with the data and the exception information. I can finally log JS Exceptions! We decided to use window.onerror which is a DOM event handler that acts like a global try..catch. This is great for catching unexpected exceptions i.e. the ones that never occur while testing. It is very simple to get started with, you just have to override the handler like this: window.onerror = function (errorMsg, url, lineNumber) { alert('Error: ' + errorMsg + ' Script: ' + url + ' Line: ' + lineNumber); } But It Was Too Good To Be True If you test this on a local server (say IIS or nginx) then it should work fine. But it is not the same as a normal try..catch, so producing a stacktrace with a library like stacktrace.js will probably not work too well. The window.onerror handler does not have the same context and the context varies enormously from browser to browser. Also, if you have minified your files then line number is not very useful. For example: Error: ‘a’ is undefined Script: build.js Line: 3 Variable ‘a' is very hard to find when line 3 has 30000 characters of minified JavaScript. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution for this for all browsers. This will get better over the next few months as a new standard for window.onerror has been agreed upon. It is already implemente
