David Kemp commented on CB-3409:
--------------------------------
I am looking at fixing this bug, but I am unclear what the expected behavior
should be when you pass in a string.
In reviewing the function, the readAsText function appears to fail silently on
most errors.
It does not report any problems with the passed file parameter by throwing
exceptions or firing events. I can pass other invalid objects (like an array of
strings) and it does nothing.
So - should I just have this fail silently - or make all bad objects report
something?
> FileReader.readAsText(string) is deprecated and Broken. Needs to be removed.
