Similar questions has been asked, I went through 'how to debug node' threads, but those are however either old or not about the problem i got.
Problem:
I'm writing some small tools in node.js stack - and my debugging experience is quite frustrating: when an exception is thrown, in many cases I get very annoying messages like the one here:
TypeError: Bad argument
wtf? it's neither verbose or useful - no source line number, no information in which file this exception was thrown.
Question:
How do I get my console to output usefull information when exceptions/errors are thrown and console.log function has something to say. would be great to have a simple console.log call where it actually puts a line number and maybe a file name where the message happens.
in nodejs i use this function to see error stack:
process.on('uncaughtException', function(err) {
console.log(err.stack);
})
Use the --stack option to see stack traces. Such as grunt task --stack
