Yauzl throws uncatchable error

See original GitHub issue

yauzl throws this error that I seem to be unable to catch or prevent:

 events.js:183
       throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^
 Error: invalid characters in fileName: some name\, de something something 5.6.vcf
     at /app/node_modules/yauzl/index.js:417:70
     at /app/node_modules/yauzl/index.js:622:5
     at /app/node_modules/fd-slicer/index.js:32:7
     at FSReqWrap.wrapper [as oncomplete] (fs.js:658:17)

Am I doing something wrong? This started happening a few weeks ago, on very few files. Sanitizing file names doesnt seem to solve it.

It looks like you’re not listening for the error event on the zipfile object. See https://github.com/thejoshwolfe/yauzl/blob/master/README.md#how-to-avoid-crashing
