assert.doesNotThrow() function in Node.js
The assert module provides a bunch of different functionalities that are used for function assertion. The assert.doesNotThrow will assert that the function is unable to throw an error. It will immediately call 'fn' when assert .doesNotThrow is called.
Syntax
assert.doesNotThrow(fn, [error], [message])
Parameters
The above parameters are described as below −
fn – This function will be called when assert.doesNotThrow is executed. It will call this function instead of throwing an error.
error – This parameter contains the regular expression for the specified error. It is an optional paramter.
message – This is an optional parameter. This is a user defined message printed when the function is executed.
Installing the Assert Module
npm install assert
The assert module is an inbuilt Node.js module, so you can skip this step as well. You can check the assert version using the following command to get the latest assert module.
npm version assert
Importing the module in your function
const assert = require("assert").strict;Example
Create a file with the name – doesNotThrow.js and copy the below code snippet. After creating the file use the below command to run this code.
node doesNotThrow.js
doesNotThrow.js
// Importing the module
const assert = require('assert').strict;
try {
// Calling the doesNotThrow method to stop throwing error
assert.doesNotThrow(
() => {
throw new TypeError('Wrong value received. Please check !');
},
);
} catch(error) {
console.log("Error:", error)
}Output
C:\home
ode>> node doesNotThrow.js Error: { AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Got unwanted exception. Actual message: "Wrong value received. Please check !" at Object.

Example
Let's take a look at one more example.
// Importing the module
const assert = require('assert').strict;
try {
assert.doesNotThrow(
() => {
throw new TypeError('Value passed is wrong !!');
},
/abcd/,
'Whoops'
);
} catch(error) {
console.log("Error:", error)
}Output
