Scala try-catch exception not catching

As far as I understand, the following code fragment should execute perfectly. Stream("A", "").toIterable.map(_.head)throws an exception that should be caught by the block try.

import org.scalatest.FunSuite

class TryCatchTest extends FunSuite {
  test("Try failure") {
    List(1).flatMap {
      _ =>
        try {
          Stream("A", "").toIterable.map(_.head)
        } catch {
          case e: Throwable => Nil
        }
    }
  }
}

But when I run it, it fails with the following error:

Interestingly, it will behave as expected if I make one of the following changes:

  • replace flatMapwithmap
  • replace "A"with""

The problem is a delayed estimate from Stream/ Iterable. It is very easy to see if you decompose it into smaller pieces.

scala> Stream("A", "").toIterable.map(_.head)
res7: Iterable[Char] = Stream(A, ?)

Stream _.head , , head, . , Iterable , Stream, . . , :

scala> Stream("A", "").toIterable.map(_.head)
java.util.NoSuchElementException: next on empty iterator

, "A" "", , Stream head, .

scala> Stream("", "").toIterable.map(_.head).toList
java.util.NoSuchElementException: next on empty iterator

, , - head Stream Iterable . , map , flatMap ? , map Stream:

scala> List(1).map { _ => Stream("A", "").toIterable.map(_.head) }
res11: List[Iterable[Char]] = List(Stream(A, ?))

, , . flatMap Iterable , , . :

scala> List(1).flatMap { _ => Stream("A", "").toIterable.map(_.head) }
java.util.NoSuchElementException: next on empty iterator
