Handling an error is pointless if you don't handle it correctly, and for that you need unit tests anyway, so you still need to write the tests and once you've done that it is impossible to encounter the mistake without knowing it no matter how you slice it.

But your editor can give some more realtime feedback instead of waiting for your tests to run, so I guess that's cool.

You need to give it a try
Give improperly handling an error a try? I’m good. I prefer my software to function correctly.
