How to handle ConvexError on client?

Hi, Following the docs on Application Errors, I am throwing new ConvexError('here's Error') in my mutation, and on client try to catch it in this way

  try {
    myMutation();
  } catch (e: unknown) {
    if (e instanceof ConvexError){ 
      console.log(e.data);
    }
  }

  try {
    myMutation();
  } catch (e: unknown) {
    if (e instanceof ConvexError){ 
      console.log(e.data);
    }
  }

However, it does not seem to be working. I see Uncaught ConvexError in my console, but I am not able to handle it on the client for some reason. I also. tried to follow what AI docs suggested: checking for whether data is present inside the e, but that also isn't working. Curious if there are any gotchas I might be missing? Thanks!
