[javascript FR] app.openDoc error on file not found is confusing

[Mathew]

When app.openDoc() tries to open a file that does not exist, the error returned is confusing: "NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method."

Could we get an error that's more like "File not found" -- would help with debugging scripts.

Thanks!

To reproduce, the following adds an arbitrary string to the end of the selected file name and tries to open it:

Code: Select all

{
let d = app.browseForDoc();
if (d) {
  try {
    app.openDoc(d.cPath + "asdf");
  } catch (e) {
    console.println(JSON.stringify(e,null,1));
  }
}
}
