Overview
This pull request strengthens the robustness and reliability of the Connect component and its test suite. It addresses two key issues:
Error Handling for Braintree SDK Availability
The code now explicitly checks for the presence of
window.braintree
andwindow.braintree.connect
before attempting to use them. If either is missing, a clear error is thrown and logged, preventing ambiguous runtime failures and making debugging easier.Why needed: In asynchronous, script-loaded environments, the Braintree SDK may not always be loaded as expected. Without this check, attempts to use undefined objects would result in hard-to-debug errors.
Preservation of Error Stack Traces
The error handling was improved to rethrow the original error object instead of wrapping it in a new
Error
. This preserves the stack trace and original message for better troubleshooting.Why needed: Wrapping an error can obscure the original context, making error logs less useful for pinpointing issues in production.
Test Suite Improvements
window.braintree
orwindow.braintree.connect
is missing.Why needed: Ensures new error handling logic is covered and prevents regressions.
Summary of Changes
window.braintree
orwindow.braintree.connect
ingetConnectComponent
.Motivation
These changes were introduced to address real-world scenarios where the Braintree SDK might not be loaded due to network, configuration, or script loading issues, which previously led to silent or confusing failures. Additionally, improved error propagation ensures that logs and monitoring tools provide actionable information for developers and support teams.
