Catch don't get the error object

Classic Servoy

Can someone explain why when I simply do this:

try {
    throw new Error("Big Mistake!!!");
catch(e) {
    e.getMessage();
}

(…) The error object is not passed to the catch block. The “e” is undefined, thus not possible to read the message.

I was just trying to follow one of the tutorials…

Thank you.

Hi,

This one works :

try 
{
    throw new Error("Big Mistake!!!");
}
catch(e) 
{
    application.output(e.name);
    application.output(e.message);
}

and this one

try 
{
	var bigerr = new Error();   
	bigerr.name = 'My Big Error';   
	bigerr.message = 'Big Mistake !';   
	throw(bigerr);  
}
catch(e) 
{
    application.output(e.name);
    application.output(e.message);
}

This is standard Javascript
