Kotlin Coroutines Exeption Handling

Using CoroutineExceptionHandler

val handler = CoroutineExceptionHandler { _, exception ->    Timber.e(exception, "handler")}GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main + handler) {    throw Exception("Test")}

NOTE: Using Timber for Android Logging.

handler will only capture uncaught/unhandled exception. If you surround try/catch as per the example below, handler shall not be called.

GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main + handler) {    try {        throw Exception("Caught")    }    catch (e: Exception) {        Timber.e(e, "catch")    }    throw Exception("for handler")}

Coroutines Stack Trace Caveats

Beaware that coroutines exception handling might not be able to property recover stack trace.

val deferred = GlobalScope.async {    throw RuntimeException("Test Stacktrace")}GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main + handler) {    deferred.await()}

the main clue is TestFragment.kt:107, which point to throw RuntimeException("Test Stacktrace")
no indication that throw RuntimeException("Test Stacktrace") is called by deferred.await()
another clue is TestFragment$initUi$3$$: handler, indicate the exception happens in initUi function with the message handler.
