I have a question on how Exceptions are handled in Coroutines that run within a `SupervisorJob`.

To me it seems the code has a bug in how exceptions propagate (or not) to the parent of a Coroutine run within a SupervisorJob. I logged the issue here:
<https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/1317>

Can someone shed a light on how this is supposed to work? I’m a bit baffled :slightly_smiling_face:
Thanks!

Hey Anton, the documentation for `supervisorScope` might explain it: `The provided scope inherits its coroutineContext from the outer scope, but overrides context’s Job with SupervisorJob.` - so in this case `cehParent` would be inherited as the the context and handle the exception, I don't think it's propagating the error to the parent `launch`

Aha! Thank you! *Inherits its context*.
That could indeed be the case, and this would make sense for what I observe.

Let's confirm with one of the Coroutine masters :grinning:
<@U2E974ELT> Is this correct?

Although, CoroutineExceptionHandlers don't participate in the inherit/override chain for parent/child `Job`s, they do seem to be inherited/overridden when moving to a child `SupervisorJob`... Is this what happens?

Yes. It is `CoroutineExceptionHandler` is inherited.
