Uncaught Exception with try catch in Dart

Question

I'm building a flutter app that uses SignalR. For this purpose I'm using signalr_core library. So far things work well when the server is up and running and I provide a valid authentication token, but when I provided a wrong token and start the connection I get the following error:

Error: Expected a value of type 'Error', but got one of type 'WebSocketChannelException'

Although I did catch the exception in my code.

Here is the connection initialization code:

_connection = HubConnectionBuilder()
    .withAutomaticReconnect() //
    .withUrl(
        _URL,
        HttpConnectionOptions(
          logging: (level, message) => print(message),
          skipNegotiation: true,
          transport: HttpTransportType.webSockets,
          accessTokenFactory: () {
            return Future.value('wrongToken');
          },
        )) //

    .build(); //

As for connection start code:

void start() async {
  try {
    _streamingStateController.add(StreamingInfo(StreamingState.Starting));
    await _connection.start();

    _listenToGPSChange();
    _streamingStateController.add(StreamingInfo(StreamingState.Started));
  } on Exception catch (exception) {
    _handleError('Oops. Unable to connect to the server.');
  } on Error catch (error) {
    _handleError('Oops. Unable to connect to the server.');
  }
}

Please not that I get the same error when the connection succeeds (in case of valid parameters) but afterwards a shut down my server and send a message.

So the question is, how do I catch this type of errors?
