i have a fun that creates a CoroutineExceptionHandler. when i do launch(exceptionHandler()){throw RuntimeException()} it gets called but with runBlocking the exception is not caught. is that expected behavior?

[Dominaezzz]

Yes because runBlocking has to return a value.

[thana]

yeah makes sense... but i think the documentation should make that clear, shouldn't it?

[Dominaezzz]

Like explicitly? I think it does it the documentation of CoroutineExceptionHandler.

[thana]

Yes you are right - i was just looking through the docs of runBlocking. Thank you!
