Any way to detect an async stack trace (like Chrome devtools does)?

Wed Jul 8 09:13:45 UTC 2020

here's a simple throwaway-function you can wrap around promises like fetch
to get the caller's async-stack-trace `promiseWithErrorStack`:

```html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<h1>test.html</h1>
<script>
(async function foo() {
    function promiseWithErrorStack(promise) {
    /*
     * this function will append current-stack to any err caught from
<promise>
     */
        let errStack;
        errStack = new Error().stack;
        return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            promise.then(resolve).catch(function (err) {
                // append current errStack to err.stack
                if (err && typeof err.stack === "string") {
                    err.stack += "\n" + errStack;
                }
                reject(err);
            });
        });
    }
    await promiseWithErrorStack(fetch("https://example.com")); // at foo
(test.html:23)

    /*
    console-output:

    Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch
    Error
        at promiseWithErrorStack (test.html:12)
        at foo (test.html:23) // async-stack-trace
        at test.html:32
    */
}());
</script>
</body>
```
