Feature request: install without instrumenting try catch

See original GitHub issue

When calling Raven.install, it breaks my live debugging workflow: in Chrome Developer Tools, when an exception is thrown, the debugger breaks in raven, and the debugger does not allow allow me to go up in the callstack.

I tried to set my own handler in window.onerror, calling Raven.captureException, but I lose the breadcrumbs feature.

To get the best of both worlds, I would like an option to allow to call Raven.install without instrumenting try catch.

You will have a really bad time if you try to do this.

You won’t – try/catch does a lot more than just “catch errors”. But yes, we can provide that option.

I’d sooner recommend that when you are live debugging, you come up with a way to just disable Raven, e.g. magic global variable or something.

It seems this is addressed by #938, isn’t it?

Yes – closing. Thanks for pointing this out.
