Handling Remote Errors
When dealing with code execution in remote contexts, it's important to be able to catch and handle any errors that might occur.
Remote Browser has a concept of "Remote Errors" which are unhandled errors thrown in one of the remote script contexts.
These errors are automatically caught and transferred back to the client context where a RemoteError is raised.
This new error will have a remoteError property which is an object containing the name, message, stack information, etc. from the original error.
import Browser, { RemoteError } from 'remote
-browser';
// Launch a remote browser instance.
const browser = new Browser();
await browser.launch();
// Let's make a mistake on purpose here, note
the spelling of `create`.
try {
await browser.tabs.craete({ url: 'https
://intoli.com/blog' });
} catch (error) {
// We could handle errors differently
depending on their type.
const isRemoteError = (error instanceof
RemoteError);
console.log(`Is it a remote error?
${isRemoteError}`);
// Reraise the error after we clean up the
browser instance.
await browser.quit();
throw error;
}
