How can I test that my UncaughtError handler is registered and working properly?

Question

I have a logger which is supposed to catch uncaught error, and send the tracestack to a server.

I'm trying to write unit tests to make sure this works. However, when I throw an error or errorEvent in my test classes, the FlexUnit Runner catches the error and doesn't let the test continue.

How can I unit test this?

Answer 1

The solution to my problem was to call event.preventDefault(); when the error was caught. This prevents the normal behavior of the error to happen, allows my custom events and unit tests to run.
