FWIW, I think JS swallows all async errors regardless of whether you use .catch(). If the error is thrown async, you can't catch it. Right?

  No. This is the whole point of promises.

    Perhaps the gp meant this case? something().then(function(){ setTimeout(function(){ whoops_not_a_function(); }, 1000); }).catch(function(){ // nope, nothing to catch });

      No built-in help with native promises, but with something like Bluebird you'd prefer: something().then(() => { return Promise.delay(1000).then(() => { whoops_not_a_function(); }); }).catch(() => { // whoops_not_a_function is not defined }); ...or write Promise_delay yourself on top of native promises (but really just use Bluebird).

      Yup this is what I meant. Thanks. Yeah arrow functions help.
