Question

I have a node.js script and anytime an error happens node.js stops running with the error that happened.

What is the proper way of checking errors in node.js so it won’t break the script and cause node.js to stop?

Answer 1

You can catch otherwise uncaught errors by setting the following:

process.on('uncaughtException', function (exception) {
   // handle or ignore error
  });

Of course, if you run your script in something like forever or node-supervisor, when your script “stops” it will start back up, which might solve your problem.
