Fix to make it possible for errors to match

[donovanh]

The previous version would output the entire error object, making it impossible to match (with the file paths).

Using e.message instead makes sure the error matches. I believe it works with the intent of the test (and builds on the use of error.message earlier.

Yup, this solves the problem 👍

this solution did not work for me. it reduced the output to the message property, while the program is still comparing the entire object.

"Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1" != "SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1" "" != " at Object.parse (native)" != " at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/promise-it-wont-hurt/exercises/throw_an_error/solution/solution.js:6:20" != " at parsePromised (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/promise-it-wont-hurt/exercises/throw_an_error/solution/solution.js:4:10)" != " at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/promise-it-wont-hurt/exercises/throw_an_error/solution/solution.js:13:1)" != " at Module._compile (module.js:541:32)" != " at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:550:10)" != " at Module.load (module.js:458:32)" != " at tryModuleLoad (module.js:417:12)" != " at Function.Module._load (module.js:409:3)" != " at Module.runMain (module.js:575:10)"

Is there any way we can get this merged? I have been working with someone and it's a bit of an impediment to progress when training.

It's especially hard when you're working with a relative beginner and you have to explain to them what a stack trace is when you're already working with complex concepts 😫

It doesn't look like this project is actively maintained. Last significant update was a year ago

@donovanh thanks for the info, I'll reach out to steven 👍

I cannot get passed this exercise due to this issue. It throws an error, but my stacktrace doesn't match the solution's, so indefinitely stuck here. 😭 Any way I can help?

@traumverloren, change the original solution file as shown here: 95ac56a
Simply, you will change reject(e) with reject(e.message). After that if you try to verify your solution it will work.

I think this has been fixed now, so I’m closing this. Please feel free to re-open if you run into any more trouble!
