promise-reject-rethrow

Rethrow Promise rejection in the same tick. Useful to generate core dumps when using Promises.

WARNING: THIS PACKAGE FORCES EXIT ON UNHANDLED REJECTIONS

This package is still experimental. Behavior can drastically change in future versions.

Usage

// example.js
function wee(lala) {
  throw new Error();
}
 
function foo() {
  new Promise(function bar() { wee(5); });
}
 
foo();

$ npm install --save promise-reject-rethrow example.js
$ node -r promise-reject-rethrow example.js
/Users/mmarchini/workspace/mmarchini/promise-reject-rethrow/index.js:4
  throw reason;
  ^

Or, if you want to generate a core dump on unhandled rejections:

$ node -r promise-reject-rethrow --abort-on-uncaught-exception example.js

Caveats

Stack trace for the core dump is not complete, we're still missing calls in the Promise resolution path.
