I have encountered an issue in my NodeJS application where I have unhandled code in the data layer connecting to the database. I deliberately generate an error in the code but do not catch it. Here is an example:
AdminRoleData.prototype.getRoleByRoleId = function (params) {
var connection = new xtrDatabaseConnection();
var query = "CALL role_getRoleByRoleId(:p_RoleId)";
var replacements = { p_RoleId: params.roleId };
replacements = null;
return connection.executeQuery(query, Sequelize.QueryTypes.RAW, replacements);
}
The line 'replacements = null;' is where I am intentionally creating an error without any error handling in place. I would like to be able to capture these types of unhandled errors in my application and log them as exceptions or errors in a file.
process.on('uncaughtException', (err) => {
logger.log('Oops! An uncaught error occurred', err);
// Implement graceful shutdown,
// close database connections, etc.
process.exit(1);
});
However, I am facing an issue where my 'uncaughtException' event is not being triggered. Can anyone offer assistance? What are the best practices for handling such scenarios, or is there a way to globally catch these errors at a centralized location?
