I am wanting to throw an error within the onMount function when the page loads that will then take the page to the __error.svelte page for the error to be handled.

I am using the custom error class

class CustomError extends Error {
    constructor(message) {
      super(message); // (1)
      this.status = 401; // (2)
    }
}

The code I have so far is, which throws the error to the console only and does not redirect the page to __error.svelte.

onMount(()=> {
    throw new CustomError("Test");
})

The code that does what I am after is. This works when run outside of any functions and redirects the page to __error.svelte with the message:

throw new CustomError("Test");

Is there a way to structure this so that it will throw the error within the page rather than the function? I have tried a try/catch statement which doesn't work.

Or is there an alternative method to target the __error.svelte file with the custom error message I am wanting?
