Please upgrade superagent library. Version 6 is deprecated. https://www.npmjs.com/package/superagent

I am facing issues superagent crashing the typescript app.. Unable to catch error in try catch.

Or better upgrade to something tested by millions of people eg axios

Your environment

latest

Steps to reproduce

1. start app ts-node main.ts
2. wait till application crashes

Expected behaviour

App running

Actual behaviour

App crashes

Yes, superagent has many drawbacks. However, I believe the error you are receiving is completely irrelevant.

Algorand transactions have a first valid and last valid round. If a transaction is submitted after its last valid round has passed, it's no longer valid. It looks like you generated and signed a transaction, then waited too long to submit it, so it's now invalid.

actually it is the application use case that i am getting that error, but i need the superagent not to crash the app

This was solved by #676 by migrating to fetch
