Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 13,728 PointsMy .catch() method is not throwing an error in the console.
See my snapshot: https://w.trhou.se/ba289en5fb
ChatGPT thinks it should log to console just fine but I've removed the catch method with a mistyped URL and my console looks the same:
GET https://dog.ceo/api/basdfa/image/random 404
GET http://port-80-hv98rdr4ku.treehouse-app.com/No%20route%20found%20for 404 (Not Found)

Treehouse Project ReviewerHi Samuel Kleos, the reason it is not going into your catch
method is because from the promise's point of view, it has still fulfilled. If you log out the response
in the then
method (which you can see is where the promise goes instead of the catch), you will see that the response ok
property is false
, and the status property is 404
. It would be up to you to code out the logic at this point inside the then
method to throw an error so that the catch
method would then be called.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 13,728 PointsI am trying my best to understand what you mean by "from the promise's point of view, it has still fulfilled".
Are you trying to say that the promise was resolved and it was not rejected? Is that why my catch method was not activated?
I'm guessing this is what you mean because you said "log out the
response
in thethen
method (which you can see is where the promise goes instead of the catch)".I'm guessing that the response as you've stated "goes" to the
then()
method instead of thecatch()
method because the promise hit theresolve()
instead of thereject()
when it is loading?Please tell me if I am understanding your response correctly.
Thank you..
