Possible regression as this catch is different. However, we ran into InvalidArgumentException when having trailing % which with the current code pattern gave no hints on the problem string.

Throwable is perhaps overdoing it, since it's going to catch OutOfMemoryError and similar things. Perhaps just Exception?

Throwable -> Exception makes sense 👍 We just rushed the fix out without considering that.

We need a test of what happens if the second argument is not a boolean. IMHO that should be considered an error: ie, throw an exception.
We also need a test of null handling, with and without the second parameter. (Should have had a null test already, sorry.) I think null input should lead to null output, regardless of the value of the second parameter.

I am unsure how you typically tests for failures. Do you have an example? I looked in the query-tests.yaml and found no obvious cases to me

See function-error-tests.json for examples.

| If the optional `throwOnFailure` argument is not specified invalid URLs will generate an exception. If `throwOnFailure` is set to `false` the `parse-url` returns | ||

We need to document the shape of that object, and have an example.

I added some examples below but I agree we could add more documentation on the shape both when good and bad input

Updated with more detaild examples.

Why not the full class name?

I don't feel strongly over this. I can change to full class name.

I updated the code as I understood the feedback. |

I would like to understand a little bit more the reasoning for using a My concern is that the proposed approach is not general and won't cleanly apply to cases where the return value is not an object. Is I suppose we're bound to find other cases where exception handling is warranted, and having a common way to handle errors would be preferable. Say a |

This "fix" was rushed as we had a pressing concern to address in our pipeline so I don't claim it's perfect as is. When it comes to I am personally not so much a favour of exceptions as no one expects the unexpected exception ;) |
