suppress exception when evaluate a json path.

the Option.SUPRESS-EXCEPTION is not working in this case   :
var node = objectMapper.readTree("{\"test\" :  null}");

    JsonPath.using(Configuration.builder()
        .options(Option.SUPPRESS_EXCEPTIONS).build())
        .parse(node.toString())
        .read("$.test[?(@ != null)]");
