Looking at Node's documentation, SystemError
extends the Error
class. However, if you attempt to use SystemError
directly, Node will throw a ReferenceError
saying that SystemError
is undefined.
Clearly, according to the docs, it is possible to encounter an instance of SystemError
, but it seems impossible to recreate such an error in the usual way (e.g. throw new SystemError(args)
).
I would like to test some code which is designed to interact with the specified SystemError
API as detailed in the docs, but I have no idea how to recreate a SystemError
. Is this even possible?
I think that node.js doesn't put SystemError
available in order to avoid anyone (npm packages) to use it. So a SystemError
is really a SystemError
and not something else.
If you want to test it, generate the error : Try to read a file that doesn't exist for example.
An other soluce would be to recreate a lookalike error because you know every property of it. But it's a workaround actually.

In the Github https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped I couldn't find any interface
declaration of SystemError
.
Except custom implementations made by node-fetch
, voximplant-websdk
and alexa-sdk
.
