mod_rest: Catch and log errors in callback promise chain From the code it looks like it should be possible to reply to an error stanza, but it did not. Turns out I was saved by my local developer mode module which throws errors if an attempt is made to create an errror reply to an error stanza. However nothing collects this error from the promise, so all I got was confusion.

---

# Introduction

This module provides [Ad-Hoc commands][xep0050] for testing [data
form][xep0004] that includes all kinds of fields. It's meant to help
debug both Prosodys
[`util.dataforms`][doc:developers:util:dataforms] library and
clients, eg seeing how various field types are rendered.

# Configuration

Simply add it to [`modules_enabled`][doc:modules_enabled] like any
other module.

``` {.lua}
modules_enabled = {
    -- All your other modules etc
    "adhoc_dataforms_demo";
}
```

# Usage

In your Ad-Hoc capable client, first look for "Execute command". You
should see a form with various kinds of fields.

Dataforms Demo
:   A simple command that provides a dataform with every possible field
    type, suitable for testing rending of dataforms.

Multi-step command demo
:   A command that has multiple steps, suitable for testing back and
    forwards navigation.
