Node.js assert.doesNotReject() Function

The assert.doesNotReject() method is used to check if the given promise is not rejected. If the provided parameter is a Promise, it is awaited; if it is a function, it is called immediately and the returning Promise is awaited.

Syntax:

assert.doesNotReject(asyncFn[, error][, message])

Parameters:

• asyncFn: An asynchronous function or a Promise which is to be checked.
• error: It is the specified error. It might be a regular expression or a function. This is optional.
• message: The error message of string or error type. This is optional.

Return Value: It returns a rejected Promise.

Example 1:

Javascript

import assert from 'node:assert/strict';

await assert.doesNotReject(
    async () => {
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
        console.log("Hello");
    },
    SyntaxError
);

Output:

Hello

Example 2:

import assert from 'node:assert/strict';
