For Preact 10.28.0, what happens when a component throws undefinedornull while an ErrorBoundary is active?
💡 Result:
In Preact 10.28.0, when a component throws a value—such as null or undefined—within the subtree of an active ErrorBoundary, Preact treats it as a caught error [1]. Preact's error handling mechanisms, including componentDidCatch and the useErrorBoundary hook, are designed to capture exceptions thrown during rendering, lifecycle methods, and constructors [1][2]. If a child component performs a throw null; or throw undefined;, the ErrorBoundary will catch this value as the error object [1]. Because the error parameter provided by useErrorBoundary or componentDidCatch can be any type, the error object received will be exactly the value thrown (i.e., null or undefined) [1]. If your error fallback UI attempts to access properties on this object—such as error.message or error.toString()—it may cause the error boundary itself to throw a new error, leading to a crash or an unrendered UI, as these properties do not exist on null or undefined [1][2]. It is recommended to implement defensive checks in your fallback UI to handle non-object errors gracefully [1][3]: function ErrorFallback({ error, resetError }) { const errorMessage = error instanceof Error? error.message: String(error); return (

Preact 10.28.0 source catch error null undefined error boundary componentDidCatch error handling e.then
💡 Result:
In Preact 10.28.0 and other recent versions, error boundaries (implemented via componentDidCatch or getDerivedStateFromError) are designed to catch rendering errors in child components [1][2]. They do not catch errors that occur in event handlers, asynchronous code (e.g., promises), or errors within the error boundary itself [3][4]. Regarding the specific error "e.then is not a function": This often occurs in the context of Preact's Suspense mechanism [5][6]. Preact uses Promises (which have a.then method) to handle "suspending" components—effectively pausing rendering until data is available [6]. If a component throws an error that is actually a Promise (a common pattern for suspense), and it is incorrectly handled—or if a regular error is thrown in a context expecting a Promise (like a rendering loop where the system is looking for a suspender)—the runtime may attempt to call.then on that error [5][7]. If the error is not a valid Promise (e.g., it is null, undefined, or a standard Error object), this results in the TypeError: "e.then is not a function" [5]. Recent Preact-related updates have specifically addressed this by ensuring that errors thrown during rendering are correctly distinguished from suspense-related Promises [5][7]. For example, render-to-string implementations have been updated to include logic similar to the following to prevent this error [7]: try { return renderChildren; } catch (e) { // If the error does not have a 'then' method, it is a real error, not a suspense promise. if (!e || typeof e.then!== 'function') throw e; // Otherwise, handle as a suspense promise... return e.then(...); } If you are encountering this error, it is likely that: 1. You are using Suspense or lazy-loaded components [6]. 2. A component in your tree is throwing an object that is not a proper Promise, or the error handling logic is incorrectly treating a standard error as a Suspense promise [5][7]. 3. Ensure that all standard errors are thrown as Error objects and that any custom suspense-like behavior correctly implements the expected Promise interface [5][7].

💡 Result:
In Preact 10.28.0, the relevant error-boundary path is:
catch (e)at approximately lines 2049–2096- It forwards the exception to
options._catchError(e, newVNode, oldVNode), which performs error-boundary handling. (github.com)
Other catch (e) blocks handle lifecycle callbacks, refs, and unmounting—not the main render error boundary.

🌐 Web query:
raw.githubusercontent.com preact 10.28.0 src/diff/index.js lines 260 305 catch e.then _catchError
💡 Result:
In Preact version 10.28.0, the diff function within src/diff/index.js handles errors that occur during the reconciliation process by invoking options._catchError. The logic involving if (!e.then) is used to determine whether to mark a virtual node (VNode) as needing to be re-rendered (forced) when an error occurs [1]. Specifically, when an error is caught in the diff cycle, Preact checks if the error is a promise (e.then), which typically indicates a Suspense-related suspension [1]. If the error is not a promise, it indicates a standard runtime error, and the code proceeds to mark the VNode for a forced update using a helper function like markAsForce [1]. This ensures that when the error is caught—or if the component recovers—the system knows the component's state or render output may have been affected and requires re-processing [1]. The options._catchError function is then called to allow for user-defined error boundaries to handle the exception [1]. This error handling structure allows Preact to distinguish between asynchronous suspensions (which wait for a promise to resolve) and synchronous runtime exceptions (which trigger error boundaries) [1].

Normalize nullish error values before throwing.
When a query function rejects with undefined or null, query-core stores that value in result.error. With throwOnError, getHasError selects the failed result and useQueries throws the nullish value. Preact 10.28.0 reads e.then before calling the ErrorBoundary, so the render can fail with a framework TypeError.
Normalize nullish values to an Error before throwing. Add regression coverage for both rejection reasons.

🎯 Changes
useQueries/useSuspenseQueriesusedfirstSingleResultWhichShouldThrow?.errorto both find and throw the errored result, which meant a falsy error value (e.g. rejecting withundefinedor0) was silently swallowed instead of being propagated to the error boundary. Same defect as@tanstack/react-query's #11305 —@tanstack/preact-query'suseQueries.tscopied the same pattern and needed the same fix.Regression tests added for
useQuery,useQueries, anduseSuspenseQueriesusePromise.reject(0)rather thanPromise.reject()— Preact's error path dereferences the thrown value (if (e.then)), so a literalundefinederror crashes the framework itself;0is falsy too and safe to dereference.✅ Checklist
