setNativeExceptionHandler callback is not being invoked on Android about react-native-exception-handler

[a7ul]

Interesting. So, in some cases (maybe where the nesting is too deep) the exception is caught after the js bridge is destroyed.
Do you still see the native exception handler being invoked? @mark-friedman

[mark-friedman]

@master-atul, The native handler that is set by the call to Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler() (i.e., within setHandlerforNativeException()) is being invoked. Within that handler it attempts to invoke the JavaScript handler (i.e. callbackHolder). That invocation of the JavaScript handler is what yields the message about the JS callback bridge having been already destroyed.

I realize that you might have asking if the native exception UI for react-native-exception-handler (i.e. the DefaultErrorScreen activity) was being shown and the answer to that is yes.

Will release your fix in v2.8.9. If that solves the problem, please close this issue. Thanks again 🌮

@master-atul I'm afraid that my fix (i.e., #67) wasn't for this issue, it was for issue #65.

Hi,
setNativeExceptionHandler call back is nott getting triggered from native module.

my code is :

setNativeExceptionHandler((errorString) => {
  console.log('Unexpected error occurred setNativeExceptionHandler')
},false, true);

and the red screen shows as usual and when i check console it prints:

09-13 19:55:04.320 28936 28936 D ReactNative: CatalystInstanceImpl.destroy() start
09-13 19:55:04.326 28936 28973 D ReactNative: CatalystInstanceImpl.destroy() end

after the error occurs.

Can you please assist ?

@master-atul
Any update on this ?

[a7ul]

Hi @Louies89

From the readme

NOTE: setNativeExceptionHandler only works in bundled mode - it will show the red screen when applied to dev mode.

If you are seeing red screen, it means you are in dev mode.

[Louies89]

Ooh Sorry, I missed it....
Thank you for this. But in dev mode 1st 2 times I got the exception screen.

Do not know how.

Is there a way to switch from dev mode to bundle mode while doing hot reloading?
