How to throw 404 error.

[meotimdihia]

I want to throw a 404 error, ex:

throw new RequestError(404)

I don't use it for testing but in this case, the request returns 200 code, but in truth, it is 404.

Where do you want to throw it? You haven't shared enough context for us to be able to give you a good answer.

I would also recommend using ChatGPT for questions like this. Here's a template prompt:

With Got (the Node.js HTTP client), how do I do x?

This is an example of my case:

try {
   // await got(`https://httpstat.us/404`) It is easy in this case
   const res = await got(`https://httpstat.us/200`) //  ex: the page return 200 HTTP code but it is a 404 page.
   if (res.body) {
        if (res.body.match(/Not Found/) {
              // This is a 404 page, we need to throw the error that is the same as Got 404 error
        }
   }
} catch (e) {
  if (e.response.statusCode == 404) {
   // we won't throw an error for this case
  }
}

You can import HTTPError from Got and throw that.
