Catching an exception from the setTimeout function executed inside an instance of a Promise object [duplicate]

Answer 1

The timeout code is executed outside the promise context. What you want to do is call 'reject' with the error:

const TIMEOUT = 1000;

const mySecondPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  setTimeout(() => {
    reject(new Error(`Error in asynchronous function`));
  },
  TIMEOUT
  );
});

mySecondPromise
  .catch(() => console.log(`This code WILL be executed`));
