I am getting UnhandledPromiseRejection error even I wrapped the code in try catch block I using await Prmomise.all together here
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3003;
function testPromise(n) {
return new Promise(async (res, rej) => {
console.log(n);
if (n > 10) {
res(true);
} else {
setTimeout(() => {
rej(n);;
}, 1000)
}
});
}
function test2(n) {
return new Promise(async (res, rej) => {
console.log(n);
if (n > 10) {
res(true);
} else {
setTimeout(() => {
rej(n);;
}, 10000)
}
});
}
async function allCall(p) {
await Promise.all(p);
}
app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
try {
let a = [];
let b = [];
a.push(testPromise(1));
await test2(1);
a.push(testPromise(12));
// await Promise.all(a.map(m => m.then(() => { }).catch(err => { })));
await Promise.all(a);
res.send('Hello World!');
} catch (err) {
console.log('err');
console.log(err);
res.status(400).send('xxxxxxxxxx!')
}
})
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}`)
})I am not sure why it is throwing the error
[UnhandledPromiseRejection: This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch().
Please explain why and how to resolve this ?
You are getting this error because 2 promises are getting rejected but try/catch only handles one. The second promise is rejected but not handled.
1st rejection: a.push(testPromise(1));
2nd rejection: await test2(1);
NOTE:
Both the promises are started parallel.
try/catch only works with async/await, if you write promise inside try/catch it'll not be handled by the catch block.
try {
Promise.reject("Something")
} catch (error) {
console.log('Not here');
}
// Unhandled promise rejection
Explanation:
a.push(testPromise(1));, it starts execution and rejects after 1 second. It goes to catch.await test2(1); because you are not waiting for the first promise to resolve/reject. It'll get rejected after 1 second and not handled by the catch block. it'll go to catch only if you use with await. If you want to handle first rejection you have to use .catch. after 10 seconds second promise get rejected and handled by catch block.Solution
const r = await testPromise(1);
await test2(1);
Another solution:
async (req, res) => {
try {
// a.push(testPromise(1));
await test2(1);
let a = [testPromise(1), testPromise(12)];
await Promise.all(a);
console.log("done");
} catch (err) {
console.log("err");
console.log(err);
}
};
