Handling failed lookups?

[mikestecker]

I tested a random email address ([email protected]) and received the following error:

node:internal/process/promises:245
          triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Development/test/node_modules/academic-email-verifier/domains/com/me.txt'] {
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: '/Development/test/node_modules/academic-email-verifier/domains/com/me.txt'
}

error Command failed with exit code 1.

I checked your database files and saw there was indeed nothing there... It seems that getInstitutionName doesn't gracefully fail and crashes Node. Can you add some error checking?

My workaround is:

  const isAcademic = await Verifier.isAcademic(email);
  let collegeName: string | undefined;
  if (isAcademic) {
    const institutionName = await Verifier.getInstitutionName(email);
    collegeName = institutionName !== '' ? institutionName : undefined
  }
