[Bug]: If pipe: true, if the executable fails to spawn, it will exit without throwing an error.

[yskszk63]

Minimal, reproducible example

import * as puppeteer from "puppeteer-core";

try {
  await puppeteer.launch({
    executablePath: "/not/exists/fa4982ed-c36e-4f4d-9531-96b589e3c5ee",
    pipe: true,
  });
} catch (e) {
  // NOP
}
console.log("OK");

Error string

throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Bug behavior

Background

When we were running puppeteer in a serverless environment, the process was terminating in the middle, resulting in strange behavior.
After investigating the cause, we found that the executablePath was incorrectly specified.

Expectation

Errors can be caught and subsequent processing can be performed.

Reality

The following log is output and the process is not executed until the end.

node:events:496
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^
