What happened?

When running e.g. project.items.list() but the project cannot be found, an unhelpful error is currently thrown.

github-project/api/lib/get-state-with-project-items.js:32
    projectNext.fields.nodes
                ^

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'fields')

Hi @gr2m, I would like to work on the issue.

I reviewed the code and added a try/catch block when accessing the project.

I changed the listitems function for error handling:

This would fix the issue, I believe.
Can I get your thoughts on this too? 😊

Code looks good, but instead of instantiating GitHubProjectError, I would create a new error class specific to this error, like we do for other errors as well.

hey sorry I needed this fixed and totally forgot that you were working on it :( It's done via

• feat: GitHubProjectNotFoundError #138

Would you maybe like to work on any of the other open issues with a Pull Request welcome label? I'd happy to give you guidance.

Really sorry about this!
