ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND error has undefined code

Search Terms

code. Found this but not sure if related.

Expected Behavior

When wrapping an import with try/catch, and when pointing the import to a TS file that does not exist, the error caught should have code = ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND.

ts-node seems to properly throw this error here:

ts-node/raw/node-internal-modules-esm-resolve-v15.3.0.js

Lines 258 to 259 in 8b09d49

	throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(
	fileURLToPath(new URL('.', packageJSONUrl)), fileURLToPath(base));

Actual Behavior

err.code is undefined in ESM context, but defined in CommonJS context, when caught in the importing script.

Steps to reproduce the problem

ESM

// error.mjs, call with `ts-node ./error.mjs`
try {
  await import('./test.ts') // Does not exist
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err.stack) // Has the proper message & stack (Cannot find module...)

  // Undefined, should be ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND
  // Note that if you run the same code with `node` instead, code is defined.
  console.log(err.code)
}

CommonJS

// error.cjs, call with `ts-node ./error.cjs`
try {
  require('./test.ts') // Does not exist
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err.stack) // Has the proper message & stack (Cannot find module...)
  console.log(err.code) // MODULE_NOT_FOUND
}
