How to handle layer errors

Hello,

In JSAPI 3.x, it was possible to react to layer errors, like for example if the map service is not available, with the following code:

this.layer.on('error', function(evt) {
    if (evt.error.code === 400) {
      this.notificationService.error('Layer Error', `Message: ${evt.error.message}`);
    }
}

With layer being a FeatureLayer object.

I don't really see how this can be achieved using JSAPI 4.x. Any ideas?

In one of my projects, I had a list of layers to add. This was the code I used to see if each service was available before attempting to load them.

var promises = [];
array.forEach(layersToAdd, function (layer) {
  promises.push(testService(layer));
});

var allPromises = new all(promises);
allPromises.then(function (response) {
  response.forEach(function (r) {
    if (r.resolution) {
       //load layer
    }
  });
});

    function testService(layer) {
        var deferred = new Deferred();
        var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
        try {
            request.open("get", layer.url + "?f=json");
        }
        catch (error) {
            console.error(error);
            deferred.resolve({ layer: layer, resolution: false });
            return deferred.promise;
        }
        request.onloadend = function () {
            if (this.status !== 200) {
                console.log("Could not load " + layer.name);
                deferred.resolve({ layer: layer, resolution: false });
            } else {
                var response = JSON.parse(this.response);
                if (response.error) {
                    console.log("Could not load " + layer.name);
                    deferred.resolve({ layer: layer, resolution: false });
                } else {
                    deferred.resolve({ layer: layer, resolution: true });
                }
            }
        };
        request.send();
        return deferred.promise;
    }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
