Handle Redis connection problems and errors?

Is it possible to handle connection problems? If Redis is down and you run;

var q = kue.createQueue({
prefix: 'q',
redis: {
port: 6379,
host: '127.0.0.1',
auth: process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD
}
});

You get:
Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379

Similar if Redis is up but then it goes down during execution. I tried a Try-catch around the previous code but it does not do anything.

Is there a way to properly catch connection problems so my code can handle the error?

Start by reproducing the reported failure with Redis unavailable during createQueue and during execution, using the configuration shown in the issue. Trace the createQueue entry point and existing Redis error handling to determine how connection failures are exposed. Done means the issue's requested application-level handling is defined and verified for both startup and runtime disconnects.
