Incorrectly parsing code

I am using Function to parse and eval some code in the browser. I would like to use StackTraceJS to show errors to my users in the code editor. My code is minified using Webpack/Uglify, but user code is not. User code is executed in a sandboxed iframe.

Expected Behavior

I expect that StackFrameJS should parse "anonymous" errors correctly.

Current Behavior

StackFrameJS does not parse anonymous errors like below, nor return the correct line number.

Sample User Code (should throw an error):

My code is executed like this

    let runFunction = function (p) {
      let f = null;
      try {
        f = Function("p", code)
        f(p);
      } catch (error) {
          StackTrace.fromError(error).then(sr => {
          window.parent.postMessage({sr, type: "err"}, "*");
        })

      }
    }
   // call runFunction
  runFunction(...);

The stack trace looks like this (in Chrome)

ReferenceError: hi is not defined
    at eval (eval at runFunction (http://localhost:8080/packs/iframe.js:5669:21), <anonymous>:4:9)
    at runFunction (http://localhost:8080/packs/iframe.js:5670:17)
    at e.Sketch.sketch.attachFunction (http://localhost:8080/packs/iframe.js:5722:17)
    at e.Sketch.attach (eval at webpackJsonp.679.module.exports (http://localhost:8080/packs/iframe.js:11868:8), <anonymous>:43:267)
    at Ir (eval at webpackJsonp.679.module.exports (http://localhost:8080/packs/iframe.js:11868:8), <anonymous>:1417:89)
    at eval (eval at webpackJsonp.679.module.exports (http://localhost:8080/packs/iframe.js:11868:8), <anonymous>:1415:106)"

The parsed stack trace looks like this (first line)

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Context

I am trying to use StackTrace to parse and show JS errors to a user in a browser editor (Monaco)

Your Environment

• stacktrace.js version: 2.0
• Browser Name and version: Chrome 58
• Operating System and version (desktop or mobile): OS X Sierra 10.12.5

Possible Solution

Suggest improving the parser to handle nested / anonymous stack traces

Thanks for the issue. Error parsing is done in error-stack-parser, so I'm moving the issue to that project.
