## watchify swallows errors

To ensure errors are reported you have to add a event listener to your bundle stream. For more information see ([browserify/browserify#1487 (comment)](https://github.com/browserify/browserify/issues/1487#issuecomment-173357516) and [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/a/22389498/1423220))

**Example:**
```
var b = browserify();
b.bundle()
.on('error', console.error)
...
;
```
