Logging a MongoDB ObjectID directly prints binary buffer

var mongodb = require('mongodb');
var oid = new mongodb.ObjectID();

var winston = require('winston');

console.info(oid);
winston.info(oid);

Result:

553753a3e208f62631e6daa8
info:  _bsontype=ObjectID, id=U7S£ö&1æÚ¨

This is possibly related to #500, although it was not fixed by it.

using .toString() works but is extremely frustrating. any plans on fixing this?

currently doing stuff like JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(post)) 🙈

Is there any solution for this other than patching external lib as @kaetemi said (using latest release of winston)? I log MongoDB-stored object that has some ObjectID properties like this

logger.debug('Definition saved', definition)

and for these ObjectID props I get crap like _bsontype=ObjectID, 0=88, 1=54, 2=212, 3=140, 4=168, 5=147, 6=113, 7=163, 8=107, 9=62, 10=237, 11=253 out 😦

I was trying to use rewriters/filters for that but with no luck (cannot reliably detect/rewrite these props)
