This is a BREAKING change and builds upon this PR #1390.
This PR fixes #646 and cleans up some of the adhoc error handling we've been doing.
I've chosen to add error serialization & unserialization at the IPC-level. This makes the IPC more opinionated (errors must always come first), but it allows us to transport errors across processes gracefully. Since nightmare already considered errors as the first argument everywhere, I didn't have to change much.
In addition to #1390, this is a breaking change because now promises that are rejected will always return
Error
types, whereas before sometimes we were returning objects, sometimes strings, sometimes{}
. This is a minor breaking change, but warrants the3.0.0
bump.
