Error Message in Node

I'm getting the following message in the console when I run 'node app.js'

node app.js
module.js:338
     throw err;
          ^

I have been following along exactly on the tutorials and can't seem to figure out the errors here.

Hi,

can you post your app.js code as well. Might be a syntax error.

Thanks Kareem...

//Problem: We need a simple way to look at a user's badge count and JavaScript points
//Solution: Use Node.js to connect to Treehouse's API to get profile information to print out
var http = require("http");
var username = "chalkers";

function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) {
  var message = username + " has " + badgeCount + " total badge(s) and " + points + " points in JavaScript";
  console.log(message);
}

//Connect to the API URL (https://teamtreehouse.com/username.json)
var request = http.get("http://teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function(response){
  var body = "";
  //Read the data
  response.on('data', function (chunk) {
    body += chunk;
  });
  response.on('end', function(){
    var profile = JSON.parse(body);
    printMessage(username, profile.badges.length, profile.points.JavaScript)
  });
  //Parse the data
  //Print the data
});

request.on("error", function(error){
  console.error(error.message);
});
