Can't solve "ReferenceError: err is not defined"

Li_mdv · 3 November 2022 12:53

Hello team,

I've been facing a problem for several weeks now that I can't seem to solve.
I am using npm 6.14.8, nodeJS 12.19.0 and Node Red v1.2.2.

I am not an expert on Node Red and I am trying to run a simple scenario. Send an http request via NTLM*(node-red-contrib-http-ntlm-req)* authentication protocol and display the response. The problem is that I get an error in the debug window ("ReferenceError: err is not defined") and no response from the request (qualified on Postman).

The complete error message :

Can you help me to understand the origin of this problem?
Thank you in advance.

Lionel

Looks like a bug in the node (using err.message)...

github.com

dmvstar/node-red-contrib-http-ntlm-req/blob/541a824945266c2274a07db848e1d2713bd8c1ce/http-ntlm-req.js#L160


      
          }

          								} catch (err) {

          									node.status({fill: "red", shape: "dot", text: err.message});

          									node.error(err.message, msg);

          								}	

          							} 

          							node.send(msg);

          						});	

          					break;

          					default:

          						node.status({fill: "red", shape: "dot", text: err.message});

          						node.error('No method defined ! ['+postURL+']');

          						//throw new Error('No method defined !');

          					break;

          				}

          			});

                  } catch (err) {

                      node.status({fill: "red", shape: "dot", text: err.message});

                      node.error(err.message, msg);

                  }

              }

You should raise an issue on that repository.

However, looking further up that code, you will see it expects method to contain '0' or '1'

Looking a little further up, it shows...

                    switch (msg.method) {
						case 'GET':
							method = '0';
						break;
						case 'POST':
							method = '1';
						break;
					}

In other words - did you set msg.method to "GET" or "POST" or something else?

Thank you for your reply @Steve-Mcl which helped me a lot.

I did forgot to set msg.method and that solved the issue.
I have a second question, maybe you can help me. Do you know how to import/upload a CA Certificate ? It would help me to specify it before the node "http-ntlm-req" and hopefully remove the "unable to get local issuer certificate" error .

Thanks again.

No, sorry, I have never used that node.

Either start a new thread (with appropriate title to attract the correct members) OR raise an issue on the repository for the author to instruct you.

e.g. Can’t solve “ReferenceError: err is not defined” is not a good title. I had no idea of the subject.

A title like "unable to get local issuer certificate: node-red-contrib-http-ntlm-req" tells passers by that you have an error, that it is related to certificates & the name of node you are using.

Fine, thanks again for your help.

Have a good day.
