Catch all unhandled javascript promise rejections

Question

I would like to catch all unhandled exceptions/rejections that take place within a javascript Promise. Is there a good method for catching them without adding a .catch(..) on each end of the Promise chain? (in case of forgetting to add this, the error silently disappears).

The developer console in Google Chrome can log them, I like to log them as well in a production environment.

For normal javascript exceptions I use the window.onerror function, but the errors from a Promise call this function.

Example:

window.onerror = function (e) {     alert("unhandled error: " + e); };  var p = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {     var nullObject = null;     // Raise a TypeError: Cannot read property 'forceNullError' of null     var x = nullObject.forceNullError();      resolve(); });  p.then(function () { alert('success'); });

*) I noticed that WinJS has a .done(..) method for what I want, but Native Promises don't.

The whole world is waiting for the unhandledrejection and rejectionhandled events. As of March 2016, Chrome is now the first to support it.

Example:

window.addEventListener('unhandledrejection', function(event) {     console.error('Unhandled rejection (promise: ', event.promise, ', reason: ', event.reason, ').'); });
