fileOpen() function doesn't reject promise when user dismiss file picker prompt without selecting a file

See original GitHub issue

The API works fine when selecting files and also handles rejection when the chosen file is not valid, but when the user dismiss the file picker prompt without selecting any file, execution gets stuck in await fileOpen().

Code sample:

let fileHandle;
try {
   fileHandle = await fileOpen({
     mimeTypes: ['text/csv'],
     extensions: ['.csv'],
   });
} catch(error) {
   console.log(error); // Nothing happens here
}
