Pascal Bach commented on THRIFT-1232:
-------------------------------------
I agree it is probably best to make user defined exceptions inherit directly
from JavaScripts Error.
But I belive the Mozilla example you show is wrong.
DerivedException = function(args) { this.name = 'DerivedException'; ... }
DerivedException.prototype = Error.prototype;
> JavaScript TException should be a constructor function

> Key: THRIFT-1232
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1232
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript - Library
> Reporter: Pascal Bach
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: exception-handling, js
>
> The JavaScript TException is declared as an object with a prototype property
> assigned to it.
> It should be declared as a constructor function with a prototype. Otherwise
> exceptions derived from TException using Thrift.inherits are not instances of
> TException.
> Example:
> function DerivedException() {};
> Thrift.inherits(DerivedException, Thrift.TException);
> var ex = new DerivedException();
> ex instanceof Thrift.TException // => Error as TException is not a function
