Error not being output within promise

See original GitHub issue

I have a scenario where I have a catch all for any error I cannot handle and it looks like so:

.catch(function(error){
                console.error(error);
                logger.error("Could not do something", {error: error});
                res.status(500).end();
            });

Now the problem I had originally was my console log would not output the error, it would just show an empty error object, however if I do console.error(error); it outputs the actual error, so there is an error there. So is there any reason why the error would not be output by winston but is by regular console.error.

If it helps the error is: [ReferenceError: repository is not defined]

This should be resolved in winston@3.0.0-rc4. Please consider upgrading. Thank you for using winston!

If anyone was curious into fixing this I was able to figure out how to echo out errors using Winston’s filters setting

filters:   [
	function (level, msg, meta) {
		return (!msg && typeof meta == 'object' && meta instanceof Error) ? meta.stack : msg
	}
]
