Bug 228316 – Implement self.reportError()

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: DOM

[Anne van Kesteren]

This allows libraries to emulate the behavior of throwing exceptions in an event listener (triggers self.onerror).

HTML change: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/1196.

Tests: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/29738.

FYI, I initially tried to call `reportException(JSGlobalObject* lexicalGlobalObject, JSValue exceptionValue, CachedScript* cachedScript)` overload directly with the JSValue.
However, for some reason, that reportException() overload doesn't capture the stack when constructing the JSC::Exception. This was causing some failures in the WPT tests as a result (things like e.filename were not populated).

We definitely have other issues where the stack is not captured or exposed for DOM related errors: http://wpt.live/WebIDL/ecmascript-binding/es-exceptions/DOMException-custom-bindings.any.html

Please move this to below crossOriginIsolated; to match it's location in the spec (I try to keep these as close to the spec IDL as I can).

Kind of a bummer to have to repeat this.

Yes, I agree. I'll find a way to share and follow up.
