title: Intentionally fail a RunJS query
---
In this how-to guide, we will create a RunJS query that will throw an error.
- Create a RunJS query and paste the code below. We will use the constructor `ReferenceError` since it is used to create a range error instance.
```js
throw new ReferenceError('This is a reference error.');
```
- Now, add a event handler to show an alert when the query fails. **Save** the query and **Run** it.

Most common use-case for intentionally failing a query is **debugging**.
