No way to recover if ObservableCollection#insert() fails synchronously

[domq]

In the case where ObservableCollection#insert fails synchronously (e.g. when attempting to insert into a collection that has a simpl-schema), the following code should catch the error:

collection.insert({}).pipe(catchError(error => {
    console.error(error)
    return []
}))

Unfortunately it doesn't, because the error will have run its course even before .insert() returns and the .pipe() has a chance to be fitted.

A workaround is to not use ObservableCollection#insert and use a plain old callback on the plain old Mongo.Collection object, i.e.

collection.collection.insert({}, (error: any, id: any) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error(error)
    } else {
        console.log(id)
    }
})
