More informative error messages: Uncaught errors

[javiertury]

Description:

Right now with vee-validate 2.0.0-rc6 some error messages are not very informative. For example, let's take a look at the following example.

<input id="password" name="password" type="password" v-validate="'required|confirmed:password2|min:6'" placeholder="Enter password">
<input id="password2" name="password2" type="password" placeholder="Enter password again">
<span v-show="errors.has('password')">{{ errors.first('password') }}</span>

If I use the last line to catch the validation error, everything is fine. However when it is omitted like this

<input id="password" name="password" type="password" v-validate="'required|confirmed:password2|min:6'" placeholder="Enter password">
<input id="password2" name="password2" type="password" placeholder="Enter password again">

Then I obtain a confusing error which doesn't say anything about what caused it. One could think it is an error of vee-validate, a mismatch between incompatible versions of vue and vee-validate, an error due to the unstable nature of release candidate... It's true that you are provided an error stack, but other packages like webpack may obfuscate it.

[Vue warn]: Error in mounted hook: "Error: [vee-validate]: "

found in

---> <ComponentName> at /path/to/component.vue
       <Root>
Object { message: "[vee-validate]: ", stack: "" }

I think that it would be better to catch the error within vue and log a descriptive warning like:

warning: [vee-validate] Unhandled validation error(s) for element "password2".

It shouldn't throw any errors when validating, also there are few occurrences when it does throw the custom exception, so that could be a bug.

The issue was related to the use of custom exceptions with the transpiler, I have instead decided to use native Error objects instead.

same problem here, any solution?

@ghprod It is not yet released, so you might face similar exceptions.
