Why does the schema.errors field not work?

[Ryan]

According to the documentation at http://docs.kendoui.com/api/framework/datasource, there is an errors field you can specify in the schema of a datasource, and, if the field is present in the response, the error handler will be called.  This does not work.  In the below example, i have a books.xml document as follows:

<books>
<error>something</error>
<book>
<title>booktitle</title>
</book>
<books>

And the code that uses it is below.  It shows the book in the grid, but i also expect to get an alert.  no alert happens, so something must be broken with this?

$(document).ready(function() {
   $("#grid").kendoGrid({
      dataSource:  new kendo.data.DataSource({
error: function(e) {
   alert(1);
},
transport: {
   read: "books.xml"
},
schema: {
   type: "xml",
   errors: "/books/error",
   data: "/books/book",
   model: {
      fields: {
 title: "title/text()"
      }
   }
}
      })
   });
});

Hello Ryan,

We were able to observe the issue you have described and to address it. The fix will be included in the next internal build. Meanwhile, I have updated your telerik points.

Is there a workaround to get this working in the meantime?
Or, is there a build available with this fix yet?

Hello Craig,

The fix will be available in the official Q1 2013 release of KendoUI, which is scheduled for the second half of March.

All the best,
