Errors#
Applications running in Node.js will generally experience four categories of errors:
- Standard JavaScript errors such as <EvalError>, <SyntaxError>, <RangeError>, <ReferenceError>, <TypeError>, and <URIError>.
- System errors triggered by underlying operating system constraints such as attempting to open a file that does not exist or attempting to send data over a closed socket.
- User-specified errors triggered by application code.
AssertionError
s are a special class of error that can be triggered when Node.js detects an exceptional logic violation that should never occur. These are raised typically by theassert
module.
All JavaScript and System errors raised by Node.js inherit from, or are instances of, the standard JavaScript <Error> class and are guaranteed to provide at least the properties available on that class.
Error Propagation and Interception#
Node.js supports several mechanisms for propagating and handling errors that
occur while an application is running. How these errors are reported and
handled depends entirely on the type of Error
and the style of the API that is
called.
All JavaScript errors are handled as exceptions that immediately generate
and throw an error using the standard JavaScript throw
mechanism. These
are handled using the try…catch
construct provided by the
JavaScript language.
// Throws with a ReferenceError because z is undefined
try {
const m = 1;
const n = m + z;
} catch (err) {
// Handle the error here.
}
Any use of the JavaScript throw
mechanism will raise an exception that
must be handled using try…catch
or the Node.js process will exit
immediately.
With few exceptions, Synchronous APIs (any blocking method that does not
accept a callback
function, such as fs.readFileSync
), will use throw
to report errors.
Errors that occur within Asynchronous APIs may be reported in multiple ways:
- Most asynchronous methods that accept a
callback
function will accept anError
object passed as the first argument to that function. If that first argument is notnull
and is an instance ofError
, then an error occurred that should be handled.
const fs = require('fs');
fs.readFile('a file that does not exist', (err, data) => {
if (err) {
console.error('There was an error reading the file!', err);
return;
}
// Otherwise handle the data
});
When an asynchronous method is called on an object that is an
EventEmitter
, errors can be routed to that object's'error'
event.const net = require('net'); const connection = net.connect('localhost'); // Adding an 'error' event handler to a stream: connection.on('error', (err) => { // If the connection is reset by the server, or if it can't // connect at all, or on any sort of error encountered by // the connection, the error will be sent here. console.error(err); }); connection.pipe(process.stdout);
A handful of typically asynchronous methods in the Node.js API may still use the
throw
mechanism to raise exceptions that must be handled usingtry…catch
. There is no comprehensive list of such methods; please refer to the documentation of each method to determine the appropriate error handling mechanism required.
The use of the 'error'
event mechanism is most common for stream-based
and event emitter-based APIs, which themselves represent a series of
asynchronous operations over time (as opposed to a single operation that may
pass or fail).
For all EventEmitter
objects, if an 'error'
event handler is not
provided, the error will be thrown, causing the Node.js process to report an
uncaught exception and crash unless either: The domain
module is
used appropriately or a handler has been registered for the
'uncaughtException'
event.
const EventEmitter = require('events');
const ee = new EventEmitter();
setImmediate(() => {
// This will crash the process because no 'error' event
// handler has been added.
ee.emit('error', new Error('This will crash'));
});
Errors generated in this way cannot be intercepted using try…catch
as
they are thrown after the calling code has already exited.
Developers must refer to the documentation for each method to determine exactly how errors raised by those methods are propagated.
Error-first callbacks#
Most asynchronous methods exposed by the Node.js core API follow an idiomatic
pattern referred to as an error-first callback. With this pattern, a callback
function is passed to the method as an argument. When the operation either
completes or an error is raised, the callback function is called with the
Error
object (if any) passed as the first argument. If no error was raised,
the first argument will be passed as null
.
const fs = require('fs');
function errorFirstCallback(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.error('There was an error', err);
return;
}
console.log(data);
}
fs.readFile('/some/file/that/does-not-exist', errorFirstCallback);
fs.readFile('/some/file/that/does-exist', errorFirstCallback);
The JavaScript try…catch
mechanism cannot be used to intercept errors
generated by asynchronous APIs. A common mistake for beginners is to try to
use throw
inside an error-first callback:
// THIS WILL NOT WORK:
const fs = require('fs');
try {
fs.readFile('/some/file/that/does-not-exist', (err, data) => {
// mistaken assumption: throwing here...
if (err) {
throw err;
}
});
} catch (err) {
// This will not catch the throw!
console.error(err);
}
This will not work because the callback function passed to fs.readFile()
is
called asynchronously. By the time the callback has been called, the
surrounding code (including the try { } catch (err) { }
block will have
already exited. Throwing an error inside the callback can crash the Node.js
process in most cases. If domains are enabled, or a handler has been
registered with process.on('uncaughtException')
, such errors can be
intercepted.
Class: Error#
A generic JavaScript Error
object that does not denote any specific
circumstance of why the error occurred. Error
objects capture a "stack trace"
detailing the point in the code at which the Error
was instantiated, and may
provide a text description of the error.
For crypto only, Error
objects will include the OpenSSL error stack in a
separate property called opensslErrorStack
if it is available when the error
is thrown.
All errors generated by Node.js, including all System and JavaScript errors,
will either be instances of, or inherit from, the Error
class.
new Error(message)#
message
<string>
Creates a new Error
object and sets the error.message
property to the
provided text message. If an object is passed as message
, the text message
is generated by calling message.toString()
. The error.stack
property will
represent the point in the code at which new Error()
was called. Stack traces
are dependent on V8's stack trace API. Stack traces extend only to either
(a) the beginning of synchronous code execution, or (b) the number of frames
given by the property Error.stackTraceLimit
, whichever is smaller.
Error.captureStackTrace(targetObject[, constructorOpt])#
targetObject
<Object>constructorOpt
<Function>
Creates a .stack
property on targetObject
, which when accessed returns
a string representing the location in the code at which
Error.captureStackTrace()
was called.
const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack; // similar to `new Error().stack`
The first line of the trace will be prefixed with
${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}
.
The optional constructorOpt
argument accepts a function. If given, all frames
above constructorOpt
, including constructorOpt
, will be omitted from the
generated stack trace.
The constructorOpt
argument is useful for hiding implementation
details of error generation from an end user. For instance:
function MyError() {
Error.captureStackTrace(this, MyError);
}
// Without passing MyError to captureStackTrace, the MyError
// frame would show up in the .stack property. By passing
// the constructor, we omit that frame, and retain all frames below it.
new MyError().stack;
Error.stackTraceLimit#
The Error.stackTraceLimit
property specifies the number of stack frames
collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack
or
Error.captureStackTrace(obj)
).
The default value is 10
but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes
will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.
If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.
error.code#
The error.code
property is a string label that identifies the kind of error.
See Node.js Error Codes for details about specific codes.
error.message#
The error.message
property is the string description of the error as set by
calling new Error(message)
. The message
passed to the constructor will also
appear in the first line of the stack trace of the Error
, however changing
this property after the Error
object is created may not change the first
line of the stack trace (for example, when error.stack
is read before this
property is changed).
const err = new Error('The message');
console.error(err.message);
// Prints: The message
error.stack#
The error.stack
property is a string describing the point in the code at which
the Error
was instantiated.
Error: Things keep happening!
at /home/gbusey/file.js:525:2
at Frobnicator.refrobulate (/home/gbusey/business-logic.js:424:21)
at Actor.<anonymous> (/home/gbusey/actors.js:400:8)
at increaseSynergy (/home/gbusey/actors.js:701:6)
The first line is formatted as <error class name>: <error message>
, and
is followed by a series of stack frames (each line beginning with "at ").
Each frame describes a call site within the code that lead to the error being
generated. V8 attempts to display a name for each function (by variable name,
function name, or object method name), but occasionally it will not be able to
find a suitable name. If V8 cannot determine a name for the function, only
location information will be displayed for that frame. Otherwise, the
determined function name will be displayed with location information appended
in parentheses.
Frames are only generated for JavaScript functions. If, for example, execution
synchronously passes through a C++ addon function called cheetahify
which
itself calls a JavaScript function, the frame representing the cheetahify
call
will not be present in the stack traces:
const cheetahify = require('./native-binding.node');
function makeFaster() {
// cheetahify *synchronously* calls speedy.
cheetahify(function speedy() {
throw new Error('oh no!');
});
}
makeFaster();
// will throw:
// /home/gbusey/file.js:6
// throw new Error('oh no!');
// ^
// Error: oh no!
// at speedy (/home/gbusey/file.js:6:11)
// at makeFaster (/home/gbusey/file.js:5:3)
// at Object.<anonymous> (/home/gbusey/file.js:10:1)
// at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)
// at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10)
// at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
// at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
// at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
// at startup (node.js:119:16)
// at node.js:906:3
The location information will be one of:
native
, if the frame represents a call internal to V8 (as in[].forEach
).plain-filename.js:line:column
, if the frame represents a call internal to Node.js./absolute/path/to/file.js:line:column
, if the frame represents a call in a user program, or its dependencies.
The string representing the stack trace is lazily generated when the
error.stack
property is accessed.
The number of frames captured by the stack trace is bounded by the smaller of
Error.stackTraceLimit
or the number of available frames on the current event
loop tick.
System-level errors are generated as augmented Error
instances, which are
detailed here.
Class: AssertionError#
A subclass of Error
that indicates the failure of an assertion. For details,
see Class: assert.AssertionError
.
Class: RangeError#
A subclass of Error
that indicates that a provided argument was not within the
set or range of acceptable values for a function; whether that is a numeric
range, or outside the set of options for a given function parameter.
require('net').connect(-1);
// throws "RangeError: "port" option should be >= 0 and < 65536: -1"
Node.js will generate and throw RangeError
instances immediately as a form
of argument validation.
Class: ReferenceError#
A subclass of Error
that indicates that an attempt is being made to access a
variable that is not defined. Such errors commonly indicate typos in code, or
an otherwise broken program.
While client code may generate and propagate these errors, in practice, only V8 will do so.
doesNotExist;
// throws ReferenceError, doesNotExist is not a variable in this program.
Unless an application is dynamically generating and running code,
ReferenceError
instances should always be considered a bug in the code
or its dependencies.
Class: SyntaxError#
A subclass of Error
that indicates that a program is not valid JavaScript.
These errors may only be generated and propagated as a result of code
evaluation. Code evaluation may happen as a result of eval
, Function
,
require
, or vm. These errors are almost always indicative of a broken
program.
try {
require('vm').runInThisContext('binary ! isNotOk');
} catch (err) {
// err will be a SyntaxError
}
SyntaxError
instances are unrecoverable in the context that created them –
they may only be caught by other contexts.
Class: TypeError#
A subclass of Error
that indicates that a provided argument is not an
allowable type. For example, passing a function to a parameter which expects a
string would be considered a TypeError
.
require('url').parse(() => { });
// throws TypeError, since it expected a string
Node.js will generate and throw TypeError
instances immediately as a form
of argument validation.
Exceptions vs. Errors#
A JavaScript exception is a value that is thrown as a result of an invalid
operation or as the target of a throw
statement. While it is not required
that these values are instances of Error
or classes which inherit from
Error
, all exceptions thrown by Node.js or the JavaScript runtime will be
instances of Error
.
Some exceptions are unrecoverable at the JavaScript layer. Such exceptions
will always cause the Node.js process to crash. Examples include assert()
checks or abort()
calls in the C++ layer.
System Errors#
System errors are generated when exceptions occur within the Node.js runtime environment. Typically, these are operational errors that occur when an application violates an operating system constraint such as attempting to read a file that does not exist or when the user does not have sufficient permissions.
System errors are typically generated at the syscall level: an exhaustive list
of error codes and their meanings is available by running man 2 intro
or
man 3 errno
on most Unices; or online.
In Node.js, system errors are represented as augmented Error
objects with
added properties.
Class: SystemError#
error.info#
SystemError
instances may have an additional info
property whose
value is an object with additional details about the error conditions.
The following properties are provided:
code
<string> The string error codeerrno
<number> The system-provided error numbermessage
<string> A system-provided human readable description of the errorsyscall
<string> The name of the system call that triggered the errorpath
<Buffer> When reporting a file system error, thepath
will identify the file path.dest
<Buffer> When reporting a file system error, thedest
will identify the file path destination (if any).
error.code#
The error.code
property is a string representing the error code, which is
typically E
followed by a sequence of capital letters.
error.errno#
The error.errno
property is a number or a string.
The number is a negative value which corresponds to the error code defined
in libuv Error handling
. See uv-errno.h
header file
(deps/uv/include/uv-errno.h
in the Node.js source tree) for details. In case
of a string, it is the same as error.code
.
error.syscall#
The error.syscall
property is a string describing the syscall that failed.
error.path#
When present (e.g. in fs
or child_process
), the error.path
property is a
string containing a relevant invalid pathname.
error.address#
When present (e.g. in net
or dgram
), the error.address
property is a
string describing the address to which the connection failed.
error.port#
When present (e.g. in net
or dgram
), the error.port
property is a number
representing the connection's port that is not available.
Common System Errors#
This list is not exhaustive, but enumerates many of the common system errors encountered when writing a Node.js program. An exhaustive list may be found here.
EACCES
(Permission denied): An attempt was made to access a file in a way forbidden by its file access permissions.EADDRINUSE
(Address already in use): An attempt to bind a server (net
,http
, orhttps
) to a local address failed due to another server on the local system already occupying that address.ECONNREFUSED
(Connection refused): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host.ECONNRESET
(Connection reset by peer): A connection was forcibly closed by a peer. This normally results from a loss of the connection on the remote socket due to a timeout or reboot. Commonly encountered via thehttp
andnet
modules.EEXIST
(File exists): An existing file was the target of an operation that required that the target not exist.EISDIR
(Is a directory): An operation expected a file, but the given pathname was a directory.EMFILE
(Too many open files in system): Maximum number of file descriptors allowable on the system has been reached, and requests for another descriptor cannot be fulfilled until at least one has been closed. This is encountered when opening many files at once in parallel, especially on systems (in particular, macOS) where there is a low file descriptor limit for processes. To remedy a low limit, runulimit -n 2048
in the same shell that will run the Node.js process.ENOENT
(No such file or directory): Commonly raised byfs
operations to indicate that a component of the specified pathname does not exist — no entity (file or directory) could be found by the given path.ENOTDIR
(Not a directory): A component of the given pathname existed, but was not a directory as expected. Commonly raised byfs.readdir
.ENOTEMPTY
(Directory not empty): A directory with entries was the target of an operation that requires an empty directory — usuallyfs.unlink
.EPERM
(Operation not permitted): An attempt was made to perform an operation that requires elevated privileges.EPIPE
(Broken pipe): A write on a pipe, socket, or FIFO for which there is no process to read the data. Commonly encountered at thenet
andhttp
layers, indicative that the remote side of the stream being written to has been closed.ETIMEDOUT
(Operation timed out): A connect or send request failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time. Usually encountered byhttp
ornet
— often a sign that asocket.end()
was not properly called.
Node.js Error Codes#
ERR_AMBIGUOUS_ARGUMENT##
This is triggered by the assert
module in case e.g.,
assert.throws(fn, message)
is used in a way that the message is the thrown
error message. This is ambiguous because the message is not verifying the error
message and will only be thrown in case no error is thrown.
ERR_ARG_NOT_ITERABLE##
An iterable argument (i.e. a value that works with for...of
loops) was
required, but not provided to a Node.js API.
ERR_ASSERTION##
A special type of error that can be triggered whenever Node.js detects an
exceptional logic violation that should never occur. These are raised typically
by the assert
module.
ERR_ASYNC_CALLBACK##
An attempt was made to register something that is not a function as an
AsyncHooks
callback.
ERR_ASYNC_TYPE##
The type of an asynchronous resource was invalid. Note that users are also able to define their own types if using the public embedder API.
ERR_BUFFER_OUT_OF_BOUNDS##
An operation outside the bounds of a Buffer
was attempted.
ERR_BUFFER_TOO_LARGE##
An attempt has been made to create a Buffer
larger than the maximum allowed
size.
ERR_CANNOT_TRANSFER_OBJECT##
The value passed to postMessage()
contained an object that is not supported
for transferring.
ERR_CANNOT_WATCH_SIGINT##
Node.js was unable to watch for the SIGINT
signal.
