consuming spawn UV_EACCES errors #1769

Description

@TrevTheDev
  • Node.js Version: 11.9.0
  • OS: linux
  • Scope (install, code, runtime, meta, other?):
  • Module (and version) (if relevant):child_process.js

How should one consume UV_EACCES errors raised using spawn?

Assuming code like this:

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const ls = spawn('ls', ['-lh', '/usr'],{cwd: '/dir/that/has/permissions/set/to666});

//next line throws an error because stdout does not exist due to UV_EACCES  error:
ls.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`stdout: ${data}`);
});

ls has an error event, but how should I access this before ls.stdout throws an error?
