All errors must be explicitly handled through catching, logging, or user feedback. Silent error suppression makes debugging impossible and creates poor user experiences.
All errors must be explicitly handled through catching, logging, or user feedback. Silent error suppression makes debugging impossible and creates poor user experiences.
Always do one of the following:
.catch()
handlers to promises to prevent unhandled rejectionsExample of proper error handling:
// Bad: Silent failure
checkForUpdates().then((info) => {
// handle success
});
// Good: Explicit error handling
checkForUpdates().then((info) => {
// handle success
}).catch((error) => {
console.error('Update check failed:', error.message);
});
// Bad: Removing error logs
} catch (error) {
// Ignore clipboard image errors
}
// Good: Maintain error visibility
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error handling clipboard image:', error);
}
This ensures errors are visible to developers during debugging and users understand when operations fail, enabling proper troubleshooting and recovery.
