Hi,

working on tests for a node of mine, I have discovered that I must explicitly load the catch node, with something like:

const catchNode = require("../../node_modules/@node-red/nodes/core/common/25-catch");
helper.load([catchNode, ...], ...);

This is quite unexpected, since "standard nodes" are supposed to be already available.
But, even worse, we have to manually load a file, which is a node-red internal file.
IMHO users should not even know about its existence: since it is a single internal file,
it could be deleted/moved/renamed/etc., breaking third-party tests.
So this seems to create a serious usability issue for node-red-node-test-helper by third-party tests.

The question:

Is this truly needed or am I missing something? Or maybe there is a better way? And what is your point of view on this usability issue?

Regards.

EDIT/PS

I have not checked other standard nodes, but the same considerations could apply also to them, if the same loading procedure is required
