TypeError: 'caller', 'callee', and 'arguments' properties may not be accessed on strict mode dexie.js

Question

Can any one tell me what happen here when i call count() function of dexie.js:

TypeError: 'caller', 'callee', and 'arguments' properties may not be accessed on strict mode functions or the arguments objects for calls to them
    at eval (eval at getErrorWithStack (http://127.0.0.1:8081/elements/js/dexie.js:394:5), <anonymous>:1:19)

    at HTMLElement.checkLoadEnoughtOfflineData (http://127.0.0.1:8081/elements/base/app-localize-behavior.html:294:73)

The last line above is call from my function:

 checkLoadEnoughtOfflineData(idcheck) {
       return dbOffline.checkPageTable.where("idCheck").equals(idcheck).count();
    }

p/s: I'm working with Google Chorm 62.

I assume you're debugger breaks at this location. It's a piece of code that intentionally breaks the "strict" mode rule in order to generate an error so that the call stack can be picked from the resulting error. If you can ignore this error type in the debugger settings, chromium debugger will stop annoying you with it. It will only happen if Dexie.debug === true (which is the default for sites served from localhost). The feature you get in your console log, is an async stack trace of unhandled rejections. You can explicitely turn it off by setting Dexie.debug = false.

The source looks like this:

export function getErrorWithStack() {
    "use strict";
    if (NEEDS_THROW_FOR_STACK) try {
        // Doing something naughty in strict mode here to trigger a specific error
        // that can be explicitely ignored in debugger's exception settings.
        // If we'd just throw new Error() here, IE's debugger's exception settings
        // will just consider it as "exception thrown by javascript code" which is
        // something you wouldn't want it to ignore.
        getErrorWithStack.arguments;
        throw new Error(); // Fallback if above line don't throw.
    } catch(e) {
        return e;
    }
    return new Error();
}
