How to track JSNI Errors in GWT?

When I use GWT JSNI there can be errors in my JSNI JavaScript code like this: 

try {
...
} catch(error) {
 console.log(error);
}

How can I track this error in the GWT logging system or with the GWT uncaughtException?

Exceptions thrown in JSNI methods are exposed to the Java code as JavaScriptExceptions, and you can easily wrap the object caught in JS in a JavaScriptException if you need to give it to GWT APIs that need an exception (such as GWT.log). 

try {
  …
} catch (e) {
  var ex = @com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException::new(Ljava/lang/Object;)(e);
  @com.google.gwt.core.client.GWT::log(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)("Error doing …", ex);
}

In GWT 2.6.1+ you can use JsonLogRecordClientUtil.throwableAsJson(e) to turn any exception into a String to, e.g. send it to your server or display it.

In GWT 2.6.0+ you can use GWT.reportUncaughtException to report any exception to the UncaughtExceptionHandler if any, or to the browser otherwise: 

try {
  …
} catch (e) {
  var ex = @com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException::new(Ljava/lang/Object;)(e);
  @com.google.gwt.core.client.GWT::reportUncaughtException(Ljava/lang/Throwable;)(ex);
}

That said, in most case you don't need this: just let the exception propagate outside your JSNI method and catch the JavaScriptException in Java-land.

You can create an JSNI method log() and call

$wnd.log(JSON.stringify(error)); and log to the GWT logger.
