How to handle an error in the body about request-promise HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @MichielDeMey the transform function is actually your best friend. As you see in the tests you may either return a rejected promise or throw an Error inside the transform function.

You can also pass the transform function to .defaults(...) which then hopefully meets your DRY goal.

Let me know if this solves what you need.

Hey @analog-nico

This is exactly what I needed!

One minor downside is that we have to create a new Promise and reject that one instead of having a reference to the promise itself which we can reject. But I can live with that small overhead.

Now I just have to figure out the following error thrown by Request:
(This error is thrown both by using the rejected promise and throwing a new error)

Possibly unhandled Error: [error message here]

Which is discussed here: https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird#error-handling

Great!

You may just throw the Error inside the transform function and you won't have the overhead of creating another promise.

The "Possibly unhandled Error" is printed if you don't call .catch(...) or call it too late.

I've decided to just throw the Error in order to avoid the overhead of creating a new Promise.

Thanks!
