Use case
I’m using Kotlin/JS. I’d like a public API to install a platform exception handler. As-is my uncaught exceptions are going to console.log, where they’re invisible to my observability tools. The ensurePlatformExceptionHandlerLoaded() function does what I want, but that function isn’t public!
I have tried to get my CoroutineExceptionHandler into every CoroutineContext in my application, but I’ve found it very difficult to stay on top of all of these. Especially with first- and third-party libraries that do their own coroutines things!
The Shape of the API
This multiplatform API addresses my request across all platforms.
package kotlinx.coroutines
/**
* Invoked for uncaught exceptions thrown in CoroutineContexts that
* don’t have a CoroutineExceptionHandler.
*
* If null, a platform-specific handler will be invoked instead.
*/
val defaultCoroutineExceptionHandler: CoroutineExceptionHandler? = nullPrior Art
Java has this:
class Thread {
public static void setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(UncaughtExceptionHandler e)
public static UncaughtExceptionHandler getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler()
}
