Connection error causes end of program, i.e. does not go to connection.on('error')

[artemdudkin]

If i start below script with arbitrary port, it causes unexpected end of program (i.e. there is no '3s' at console output)
(while promises and await is ok)

const { Telnet } = require('telnet-client')

const stime = Date.now();

const connection = new Telnet()

const params = {
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 56565,
    shellPrompt: '>INFO',
    timeout: 1000,
    debug: true
}

connection.on('ready', prompt => connection.send('status'))

connection.on('data', data => {
    console.log('>> ', data.toString());
    if (data.indexOf('\nEND') !== -1) connection.end()
})

connection.on('timeout', () => {
    console.log('timeout')
    connection.end()
})

connection.on('close', () => console.log('connection closed'))

connection.on('error', err => {
  console.log('ERROR', err)
})

connection.connect(params)




setTimeout(()=>{console.log('3s')}, 3000)

@artemdudkin it's going to connection.on('error')

If you want to avoid the end of the program.
that you can achieve in 3 ways.

1. use promise

connection.connect(params).then().catch(err => {
    console.log('Do something for this connection error')
})

2. use await

try {
  await connection.connect(params)
} catch (err) {
  console.log('Do something for this connection error');
}

3. handle unhandledRejection events

process.on('unhandledRejection', error => {
  console.log('Do something about it: ', error)
  // throw error
})

With all the above 3, you can see '3s' in the console along with the error message.
It's up to the user what he wants to do with the error.
