Question

after reading the documentation on angular about http client error handling, I still don\'t understand why I don\'t catch a 401 error from the server with the code below:

Your error handler needs to return a new Observable>()

return next.handle(request)
    .pipe(catchError((err: any) => {
        console.log('this log isn't');
        if (err instanceof HttpErrorResponse) {
            if (err.status === 401) {
                console.log('Unauthorized');
            }
        }

      return new Observable>();
    }));
