Unable to catch the disalowed intent

I constantly fail to catch the missing intents. How can I catch this error?

const client = new Client({
   intents: [
     IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
     IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
     IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
     IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
   ],
   partials: [Partials.Channel],
 });

 client.on('ready', () => {
   console.log(`Ready: ${client.user.tag}`);
 });

 client.on('warn', (msg) => {
   console.warn(`Warn: ${msg}`);
 });

 client.on('error', (msg) => {
   console.error(`Error: ${msg}`);
 }); //

 await client
   .login(token)
   .catch((error) => {
      console.error('Error logging in:', error);
   });

const client = new Client({
   intents: [
     IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
     IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
     IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
     IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
   ],
   partials: [Partials.Channel],
 });

 client.on('ready', () => {
   console.log(`Ready: ${client.user.tag}`);
 });

 client.on('warn', (msg) => {
   console.warn(`Warn: ${msg}`);
 });

 client.on('error', (msg) => {
   console.error(`Error: ${msg}`);
 }); //

 await client
   .login(token)
   .catch((error) => {
      console.error('Error logging in:', error);
   });

Perfect example of why attempting a global anti-crash is bad

ok I think I have a idea with child process than yup I did it

async function checkTokenAndIntents(token) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const child = fork(path.join(__dirname, 'testLogin.js'));

    child.on('message', (message) => {
      if (message === 'OK') {
        resolve(true);
      }
    });

    child.on('exit', (code) => {
      if (code !== 0) {
        resolve(false);
      }
    });

    child.send(token);
  });
}
