non-string populate.select throws uncatchable error:

See original GitHub issue

doing the following query: /User?populate={"path":"father", "select":["name", "age"]} (select is an array which is invalid format)

throws the following error: TypeError: Invalid select() argument. Must be string or object.

That error cannot be caught as it does not trigger options.onError neither the generic express app.use((req, res, next, error) => {}) middleware and it instantly kills the api server
