Cannot read property 'name' of null

[adyshimony]

I am getting this error only on one file. Removing the try block solves the issue.

ERROR:

> standard "./rest-api/src/routes/api/accountTx.ts"

standard: Unexpected linter output:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of null

CODE that cause the issue:

import * as express from 'express'
import * as logger from 'winston'
import * as dbUtils from '../../utils/dbUtils'

const router = express.Router()
// return all transactions history for account address
router.get('/:address', async (req, res, next) => {
  try {
    let result = await dbUtils.getAccountAsync(req.params.address)
    return res.json(
    {
      'status': '1',
      'message': 'OK',
      'result': result
    })
  } catch {
      return res.json(
      {
        'status': '0',
        'message': 'ERROR',
        'result': 'not found'
      })
  }
})

module.exports = router

Remark the block:

import * as express from 'express'
import * as logger from 'winston'
import * as dbUtils from '../../utils/dbUtils'

const router = express.Router()
// return all transactions history for account address
router.get('/:address', async (req, res, next) => {
  //try {  <-------------------- here
    let result = await dbUtils.getAccountAsync(req.params.address)
    return res.json(
    {
      'status': '1',
      'message': 'OK',
      'result': result
    })
  //} catch {  <-------------------- here
      return res.json(
      {
        'status': '0',
        'message': 'ERROR',
        'result': 'not found'
      })
  //}  <-------------------- and here
})

module.exports = router

And everything is working now.

standard config in package.json:

"standard": { "parser": "typescript-eslint-parser", "plugins": [ "typescript" ] }

Not sure if its elint or standard, opening here too: https://github.com/eslint/typescript-eslint-parser/issues/439

[feross]

Copying from the linked issue, this is the workaround:

ESLint doesn’t support catch clauses without a parameter, as they’re not yet part of JavaScript. Using catch (_) or similar instead should fix the issue.
