How to catch error in nodeJS?

Question

I have code like this:

try {
    var client = new Steam.SteamClient();

    client.logOn(credentials);
} catch(err) {
    console.log(err);
    return;
}

But still cant catch the error:

MacBook-Pro:steam $ node test.js
\events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
Error: Logon fail: 63
    at SteamClient.handlers.(anonymous function) (/Users/Sites/steam/node_modules/steam/lib/handlers/user.js:178:11)
    at SteamClient._netMsgReceived (/Users/Sites/steam/node_modules/steam/lib/steam_client.js:106:26)
    at SteamClient.handlers.(anonymous function) (/Users/Sites/steam/node_modules/steam/lib/steam_client.js:192:10)
    at SteamClient._netMsgReceived (/Users/Sites/steam/node_modules/steam/lib/steam_client.js:106:26)
    at Connection.emit (events.js:107:17)

    at Connection.emit (events.js:104:17)

    at emitReadable (_stream_readable.js:418:7)
    at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:174:11)

The problems is that I have a list of acc and need to auth only those, which are ok. But on this error program closes.

Error are passed through events for the Steam client, not through exceptions.

Try this:

var client = new Steam.SteamClient();

client.logOn(credentials);
client.on('error', function(err) {
  console.error('An error happened!');
  console.error(err);
});
