Promises already have a catch method (= promise.then(null, foo)), a finally method would be useful (= promise.then(foo, foo))
Attached patch Patch (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
This patch adds Promise.prototype.finally, which calls then() with identical arguments.

Component: Async Tooling → DOM

This is a spec-level issue, no? I don't think we should implement this unless there's a good chance it will end up in the spec.
I was looking at the Promises/A+ spec, just saw https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping. There is indeed a closed issue about adding Promise.prototype.finally (which is not as trivial as the attached patch suggests by the way) - https://github.com/domenic/promises-unwrapping/issues/18. It was closed, however, so as to "not add new features that will delay the whole thing longer". I guess this bug should be closed for now then and possibly reopened if Promise.prototype.finally ever gets added in the spec.
If we think there is a need for such a method then it should be presented as a proposal to TC39 before initially implement it in FF. See me or dherman about how to proceed down that pat.

I am happy to champion `Promise.prototype.finally` for ES7.
A spec now exists for this: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-promise-finally It's at stage 2 right now, meaning we could implement but not let it ride the trains. Needinfo myself to not forget it.

Till, does the attached patch still apply?

This is now at stage 3 - can this patch get a train ticket? :-D

Untested and still contains a few TODOs and FIXMEs.

Chrome 61 added this under a flag.
Do you want to finish this?

Chrome 63 and Safari TP already support this, so I believe the current spec has a good chance to became stable.
It's stage 3; the spec is already stable. I'm going to seek stage 4 next month. It would be great if Firefox had a shipping implementation as well.
I just submitted the two issues point out by André on github repo. I will try to get this updated after those are resolved.

I guess after we stopped self-hosting most of the promise code those functions aren't used anymore. I am mostly trying to prevent the confusion between ResolvePromise and PromiseResolve.

I just refreshed the patch and removed a bunch of FIXME/TODO that have been resolved. No functional changes.

I re-imported the last import with `python test262-update.py --revision a456b0a390bb0f70b4cb8d38cb5ab0ecb557a851`, but accepting Promise-prototype-finally tests. The next full import is going to add two more tests, that we also pass.

That's just a silly, but spec-conformant(!), trick to disable function name inferring. :-) js> foo = function(){}; foo.name "foo" js> (foo) = function(){}; foo.name ""

This isn't even tested by the tests, but we shouldn't land something that is already incorrect. I am going to see to get us updated to a newer test262 version and some tests added for that.
