No exception when node-amqp

Question

I'm trying to use node-amqp.

When in the section of connection to rabbit an exception is thrown, I can get that exception but it restarts the connection to Rabbit forever.

Look at that:

    amqp = require("amqp")

    # Open a connection
    conn = amqp.createConnection( {url: "amqp://localhost"} , {reconnect: true})

    conn.on "ready", ->
      console.log "Conn Ready"

      conn.queue "queueX", {ack:true}, (queue) ->
        console.log "Subscribed #{queue.name}"

        assdsd() #calling non-exiting method. No exception is thrown but the connection is restarted

System loops on the errors thrown. I know this is because of {recconnect:true}. But I would like to be able to catch exceptions on my own. Any idea?

The output of my script is like this:

Conn Ready
Subscribed queueX
Conn Ready
Subscribed queueX
Conn Ready
Subscribed queueX
Conn Ready
Subscribed queueX
Conn Ready
Subscribed queueX
Conn Ready
Subscribed queueX
....

You probably have an error somewhere, this can help you

# listen for conn errors
conn.on 'error', (err) ->
  # print to check what went wrong
  console.error err.stack

  # exit script with error
  # http://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_exit_code
  process.exit 1
