p5.js version

2.3.0

Web browser and version

Brave 1.90.122

Operating system

Linux Mint 22.1

Steps to reproduce this

Steps:

1. Run the snippet below. It has an error; the first param should be a vector.
2. The expected output is a friendly error message "The v1 parameter should be of type Array or p5.Vector"
3. Instead, it gives an error "TypeError: this._friendlyError is not a function"

Snippet:

function setup() {
  print(p5.Vector.equals(1, createVector(1, 2)));
}

Discussion

Friendly errors for vectors seem to work fine for instance methods like setValue(), but not for static methods like p5.Vector.equals.

@ksen0 @davepagurek @perminder-17 cause is that static methods like p5.Vector.equals() call this._friendlyError where this is the Vector constructor, but _friendlyError is only set on Vector.prototype, not on Vector itself. The fix is to also set Vector._friendlyError = p5._friendlyError in the registration function, plus override Vector.friendlyErrorsDisabled to check p5.disableFriendlyErrors since the static version always returns true. Can I be assigned? if ok I will go with the pr
