Error handling doesn't work for throw newError() in async function

[IvanNaumenko]

ok, duplicate issue from nightwatch, becouse i don't know who could help...
how to forward my mistake to ERROR and got false in result?

throw new Error('some error');

(async function () {

try {
let tmp =  await kfs(title);
let staticD = tmp.leads.leadID,
getBoolean = compare(staticD, myStr);

if (getBoolean === false) {

console.log("kfs " + getBoolean);
throw new Error('some error');

}else {      
  console.log(`${'etalon'}`);
}

}catch (err){
console.log(err);
}
}) ()

I have created an async example project. https://github.com/mucsi96/nightwatch-cucumber-async-await-example Throwing an exeption in any step definition if catched fine by cucumber.js. So don't see any issue here.

It works in steps_definition files but not works if you use assert inside async function

[IvanNaumenko]

Thanks, async error handling works fine in steps_definition, but in page object files works like in screenshot above

@IvanNaumenko As I can see in the code example from the first post in the thread, you intentionally caught the error and logged it to the console without throwing it further. Have you tried to remove the catch statement from your function? 🤔

I've understood my false. Works!

Can you pls write the correct way of catching exception?

Thank you
