TypeErrors aren't caught by application

Platform: iOS TNS: 3.1.0

It’s been like this since 2.5 (or maybe even earlier) for me. My {N} applications do not catch any TypeErrors.

Say I make this typing error:

  function test() {
    this.options = { foo: false };
    this.optoins.foo = true;
  }

In the function I mistype this.options as this.optoins. But the terminal doesn’t log the error unless I wrap the code in a try/catch. Developing an application without TypeError logging by default slows down the development process A LOT. How can I fix this?

I know there is an event inside the application module called uncaughtErrorEvent, but this is about a TypeErrorEvent, which doesn’t seem to exist.

Thanks in advance!

Type errors are now caught by uncaughtErrorEvent on both iOS and Android

file:///app/home/home-page.js:10:9: JS ERROR TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'this.options = { foo: false }')

I’m also running into a TypeError and it is not caught by applicationOn(uncaughtErrorEvent). I trigger it by adding a (tap)="functionName" where functionName is not defined. I get error:

ERROR TypeError: _co.functionName is not a function

I was hoping stuff like this would be caught by applicationOn(uncaughtErrorEvent).
