# node-execute-block-missing-continue-on-fail

The `execute()` method in a node must implement `continueOnFail` in a try-catch block.

📋 This rule is part of the `plugin:n8n-nodes-base/nodes` config.

## Examples

❌ Example of **incorrect** code:

```js
class TestNode {
	description = {
		displayName: "Test",
		name: "test",
		icon: "file:test.svg",
		group: ["transform"],
		version: 1,
		subtitle: '={{ $parameter["operation"] + ": " + $parameter["resource"] }}',
		description: "This is a sentence",
		defaults: {
			name: "Test",
		},
		inputs: ["main"],
		outputs: ["main"],
	};
	async execute() {
		for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
			try {
				// ...
			} catch (error) {
				// ...
			}
		}
	}
}

class TestNode {
	description = {
		displayName: "Test",
		name: "test",
		icon: "file:test.svg",
		group: ["transform"],
		version: 1,
		subtitle: '={{ $parameter["operation"] + ": " + $parameter["resource"] }}',
		description: "This is a sentence",
		defaults: {
			name: "Test",
		},
		inputs: ["main"],
		outputs: ["main"],
	};
	async execute() {
		for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
			// ...
		}
	}
}
```
