(node:289) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag --unhandled-rejections=strict (see Command-line API | Node.js v19.6.0 Documentation). (rejection id: 2)
(node:289) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

Hello @caitlinaliflynn , welcome to the forums :smile:
It would really help to find the error if you provided a link to you repl.

But from what I can see in that error, it looks like you are using an async function that returns a promise. And it looks like the promise returned an error, but you didn’t have a catch function to handle it.
