DOMException in Google Chrome

[sarowar.cse@…]

When Developer Tools is open Google Chrome is pausing execution at

Sizzle.matchesSelector, jquery-1.7.1.js:5121 showing a message "Paused on exception: 'DOMException'".

I have tried with some previous versions(1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.6.1) of jquery, but did the same.

My Chrome version is 17.0.963.66.

Just for the others ran in the same problem. You should switch "Pause on all exceptions" to "Pause on uncaught exceptions" so that the Chrome don't stop at every try-catch block:

The thing is, "Pause on all exceptions" is a very useful thing... I believe jQuery should not throw any kind of exceptions, because if it does, we will be continuously distracted by them and won't know whether they are important - these don't seem so - or not. Just my 5 cents...

Sometimes we do operations that throw exceptions, and it's unavoidable. As long as we catch them it shouldn't be a problem. If you'd like to inspect the places where we do that and recommend another course of action, that would be welcome.

#14350 is a duplicate of this ticket.

This ends up being very annoying in our development environment as well. All our developers and our QA are trained to use the 'stop on exception' to keep our code clean. In addition our automated tests stop on exceptions.
