Summary

In the chat, a user named AlexDixon is discussing an issue encountered when upgrading the Effect Typescript library from version 3.2.5 to the latest version. Specifically, they noticed a change in the behavior of tryPromise when it is used with one argument: the error message isn't propagated in the latest version, while it was in the older version.

Michaelarnaldi responds by noting that without a catch, the error becomes an UnknownException, and they express uncertainty about why the message is no longer being carried.

Key Takeaways:

• There is a change in error propagation behavior in tryPromise between Effect library versions 3.2.5 and the latest.
• When not using a catch, errors might be transformed into UnknownException.
• The exact reason for the loss of the error message in new versions is unclear from the messages.
