Well, almost ten years later this just bit us. We had a bug in our error handling that was causing errors without a message to trigger an endless recursion resulting in a RangeError masking the original error in windows-1252. Even after fixing it the error is still not descriptive, it just says "Error: Error". Luckily the stack pointed to windows-1252 and here I am.
throw Error();
could be improved with some message for devs, like "I couldn't encode the char XX because of the mapping wasn't found"I'm getting into that line with
codePoint = 8706
and mode not being set (therefore defaulting tofatal
) while trying to.encode()
.I have no idea how to fix it, buuuut I'd be more than happy to PR otherwise. I've read https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/javascript-encoding but I get lost in
// “Return a byte whose value is pointer + 0x80.”
anyway :|Update: I see the list is coming from https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/index-windows-1252.txt - But my newbie question would be... how does windows-1252 show any character outside that list and above 0x7F ? I remember seeing the character this issue is about (∂) on windows as well.
(Yay first issue here!)
