unhandled promise rejection when using .catch()

[bradwbradw]

  var request = Request()
    .select("pagepath", "pageviews", "users")
    .from(12345)
    .during("2017-10-31", "2018-10-31")
    .results(3)
    .orderDesc("users");


  let promise = analytics.run(request);

  promise.catch(err => {
    console.log("caught the error: ", err)
  });

Since i supplied a view id i don't have access to (12345), i would expect that the catch block occurs and the console says "caught the error", but instead, i get:

(node:99630) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 2)

I'm more comfortable with promise methods like .then and .catch rather than async / await. If analytics.run() actually returns a promise (which it does, according when.isPromiseLike()), then it's natural to expect .catch to work for error handling, isn't it?
