Why isn't this rejected RSVP promise not calling catch()?

Question

In my Ember RSVP code, I'm not able to get any error handlers called, even though I see that my 'reject' function is executing successfully. Code:

var promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

    doStuff().then(function() {

        resolve(1);

    }, function() {

        console.log('rejected!');
        reject('This has been rejected!');

    });

 });

var allPromises = [promise]; // Real code has more than one; just one for demonstration.

Ember.RSVP.all(allPromises)
.then(
    function() {
        console.log('I am called!');
    },
    function() { console.log('I am never called!');})
.catch(function(err) {

    console.log('I am never called, either.');

});

However, I do see the 'rejected!' message in the console. What have I done wrong here? Shouldn't the catch() fire since the reject() worked properly?

They state 'Sometimes you might want to work with many promises at once. If you pass an array of promises to the all() method it will return a new promise that will be fulfilled when all of the promises in the array have been fulfilled; or rejected immediately if any promise in the array is rejected.'

Answer 1

You are catching the error in your onReject handler. If you want your catch to run you will have to either not supply a onReject handler or throw an error in the reject handler:

var promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
  reject("")
});

var allPromises = [promise];

// Alt 1 - Dont supply a onRejected handler
Ember.RSVP.all(allPromises)
    .then(function() {
        console.log('I am called!');
    }).catch(function(err) {
        console.log('I am never called, either.');
    });

// Alt 2 - Throw error in onRejected handler
Ember.RSVP.all(allPromises)
    .then(function() {
        console.log('I am called!');
    }, function () {
        console.log('I am never called!');
        throw new Error("boom");
    }).catch(function(err) {
        console.log('I am never called, either.');
    });

Alt 1 will print:
I am never called, either.

Alt 2 will print:
I am never called!
I am never called, either.
