Handle erroneous location (at) information gracefully #2

@aral

Description

@aral

Sometimes, it seems that the file location (error.at) information is not correctly populated.

e.g., I’m getting the following when tests fail because an object doesn’t exist in my current app:

{ file: '', line: undefined, character: '[as' }

Detect this and handle it gracefully.

Suggested implementation

When this is detected, look in the stack trace (if it exists) for the file:/// line and use that. e.g.,

  TypeError: utils.calculateBasePath is not a function
