Can you not do any exception handling in coroutines? I have this:

launch { field.setAs { calculate() } }
...
private fun StringProperty.setAs(calc: () -> Any) = set(
    try {
        calc().toString()
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        e.message
    }
)

(Note that setAs has no suspension at all)
But if calc throws an exception, it isn't caught and instead just crashes. Am I missing something obvious?

What if you catch a Throwable instead of an Exception?

Ah, that works. Apparently it was an Error being thrown, not an Exception . Thanks!
