## E0117: unexpected 'catch' without 'try'

`try` statements can have a `catch` clause. It is a syntax error to have a `catch` clause with no corresponding `try` statement:

    async function readConfig(configFilePath) {
      try {
        let data = await fs.promises.readFile(
          configFilePath,
          "utf-8",
        );
        return parseConfig(data);
      };
      catch (error) {
        if (error.code === 'ENOENT') {
          return {};
        } else {
          throw error;
        }
      }
    }

To fix this error, make sure the `catch` keyword immediately follows the `}` for a `try` block:

    async function readConfig(configFilePath) {
      try {
        let data = await fs.promises.readFile(
          configFilePath,
          "utf-8",
        );
        return parseConfig(data);
      }
      catch (error) {
        if (error.code === 'ENOENT') {
          return {};
        } else {
          throw error;
        }
      }
    }
