Errors

Table des matières

Ajouté en: v4.0.0

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.
  • AssertionErrors 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 the node:assert 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.

JS

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 an Error object passed as the first argument to that function. If that first argument is not null and is an instance of Error, then an error occurred that should be handled.

    JS
  • When an asynchronous method is called on an object that is an EventEmitter, errors can be routed to that object's 'error' event.

    JS
  • A handful of typically asynchronous methods in the Node.js API may still use the throw mechanism to raise exceptions that must be handled using try…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.

JS

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.

JS

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:

JS

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 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.

C 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.

All errors generated by Node.js, including all system and JavaScript errors, will either be instances of, or inherit from, the Error class.

M new Error(message[, options])

  • message string
  • options Object
    • cause any The error that caused the newly created error.

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 String(message). If the cause option is provided, it is assigned to the error.cause property. 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.

M Error.captureStackTrace(targetObject[, constructorOpt])

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

JS

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 the user. For instance:

JS

M 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.

M error.cause

Ajouté en: v16.9.0

If present, the error.cause property is the underlying cause of the Error. It is used when catching an error and throwing a new one with a different message or code in order to still have access to the original error.

The error.cause property is typically set by calling new Error(message, { cause }). It is not set by the constructor if the cause option is not provided.

This property allows errors to be chained. When serializing Error objects, util.inspect() recursively serializes error.cause if it is set.

JS

M error.code

The error.code property is a string label that identifies the kind of error. error.code is the most stable way to identify an error. It will only change between major versions of Node.js. In contrast, error.message strings may change between any versions of Node.js. See Node.js error codes for details about specific codes.

M 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).

JS

M error.stack

The error.stack property is a string describing the point in the code at which the Error was instantiated.

BASH

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:

JS

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 (using CommonJS module system), or its dependencies.
  • <transport-protocol>:///url/to/module/file.mjs:line:column, if the frame represents a call in a user program (using ES module system), 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.

C AssertionError

Indicates the failure of an assertion. For details, see Class: assert.AssertionError.

C RangeError

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.

JS

Node.js will generate and throw RangeError instances immediately as a form of argument validation.

C ReferenceError

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.

JS

Unless an application is dynamically generating and running code, ReferenceError instances indicate a bug in the code or its dependencies.

C SyntaxError

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.

JS

SyntaxError instances are unrecoverable in the context that created them – they may only be caught by other contexts.

C SystemError

Node.js generates system errors when exceptions occur within its runtime environment. These usually occur when an application violates an operating system constraint. For example, a system error will occur if an application attempts to read a file that does not exist.

  • address string If present, the address to which a network connection failed
  • code string The string error code
  • dest string If present, the file path destination when reporting a file system error
  • errno number The system-provided error number
  • info Object If present, extra details about the error condition
  • message string A system-provided human-readable description of the error
  • path string If present, the file path when reporting a file system error
  • port number If present, the network connection port that is not available
  • syscall string The name of the system call that triggered the error

M error.address

If present, error.address is a string describing the address to which a network connection failed.

M error.code

The error.code property is a string representing the error code.

M error.dest

If present, error.dest is the file path destination when reporting a file system error.

M error.errno

The error.errno property is a negative number which corresponds to the error code defined in libuv Error handling.

On Windows the error number provided by the system will be normalized by libuv.

To get the string representation of the error code, use util.getSystemErrorName(error.errno).

M error.info

If present, error.info is an object with details about the error condition.

M error.message

error.message is a system-provided human-readable description of the error.

M error.path

If present, error.path is a string containing a relevant invalid pathname.

M error.port

If present, error.port is the network connection port that is not available.

M error.syscall

The error.syscall property is a string describing the syscall that failed.

Common system errors

This is a list of system errors commonly-encountered when writing a Node.js program. For a comprehensive list, see the errno(3) man page.

  • 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, or https) 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 the http and net 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, run ulimit -n 2048 in the same shell that will run the Node.js process.

  • ENOENT (No such file or directory): Commonly raised by fs 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 by fs.readdir.

  • ENOTEMPTY (Directory not empty): A directory with entries was the target of an operation that requires an empty directory, usually fs.unlink.

  • ENOTFOUND (DNS lookup failed): Indicates a DNS failure of either EAI_NODATA or EAI_NONAME. This is not a standard POSIX error.

  • 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 the net and http 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 by http or net. Often a sign that a socket.end() was not properly called.

C TypeError

Indicates that a provided argument is not an allowable type. For example, passing a function to a parameter which expects a string would be a TypeError.

JS

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.

OpenSSL errors

Errors originating in crypto or tls are of class Error, and in addition to the standard .code and .message properties, may have some additional OpenSSL-specific properties.

M error.opensslErrorStack

An array of errors that can give context to where in the OpenSSL library an error originates from.

M error.function

The OpenSSL function the error originates in.

M error.library

The OpenSSL library the error originates in.

M error.reason

A human-readable string describing the reason for the error.

Node.js error codes

M ABORT_ERR

Ajouté en: v15.0.0

Used when an operation has been aborted (typically using an AbortController).

APIs not using AbortSignals typically do not raise an error with this code.

This code does not use the regular ERR_* convention Node.js errors use in order to be compatible with the web platform's AbortError.

M ERR_AMBIGUOUS_ARGUMENT

A function argument is being used in a way that suggests that the function signature may be misunderstood. This is thrown by the node:assert module when the message parameter in assert.throws(block, message) matches the error message thrown by block because that usage suggests that the user believes message is the expected message rather than the message the AssertionError will display if block does not throw.

M 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.

M 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 node:assert module.

M ERR_ASSERT_SNAPSHOT_NOT_SUPPORTED

An attempt was made to use assert.snapshot() in an environment that does not support snapshots, such as the REPL, or when using node --eval.

M ERR_ASYNC_CALLBACK

An attempt was made to register something that is not a function as an AsyncHooks callback.

M ERR_ASYNC_TYPE

An invalid parameter key was passed during construction of a Brotli stream.

M ERR_BUFFER_CONTEXT_NOT_AVAILABLE

An attempt was made to create a Node.js Buffer instance from addon or embedder code, while in a JS engine Context that is not associated with a Node.js instance. The data passed to the Buffer method will have been released by the time the method returns.

When encountering this error, a possible alternative to creating a Buffer instance is to create a normal Uint8Array, which only differs in the prototype of the resulting object. Uint8Arrays are generally accepted in all Node.js core APIs where Buffers are; they are available in all Contexts.

M ERR_BUFFER_OUT_OF_BOUNDS

An operation outside the bounds of a Buffer was attempted.

M ERR_BUFFER_TOO_LARGE

An attempt has been made to create a Buffer larger than the maximum allowed size.

Stabilité: 1 - Experimental

Response was received but was invalid when importing a module over the network.

M ERR_NETWORK_IMPORT_DISALLOWED

Stabilité: 1 - Experimental

A network module attempted to load another module that it is not allowed to load. Likely this restriction is for security reasons.

Historique
VersionChangements
v10.12.0Rather than emitting an error, `process.stderr.end()` now only closes the stream side but not the underlying resource, making this error obsolete.
v10.12.0Ajouté en: v10.12.0

An attempt was made to close the process.stderr stream. By design, Node.js does not allow stdout or stderr streams to be closed by user code.

M ERR_STDOUT_CLOSE

M ERR_UNKNOWN_STDIN_TYPE

Supprimé en: v11.7.0

An attempt was made to launch a Node.js process with an unknown stdin file type. This error is usually an indication of a bug within Node.js itself, although it is possible for user code to trigger it.

M ERR_UNKNOWN_STREAM_TYPE

Supprimé en: v11.7.0

An attempt was made to launch a Node.js process with an unknown stdout or stderr file type. This error is usually an indication of a bug within Node.js itself, although it is possible for user code to trigger it.
