CLI option control error stack - all, some, filter etc

[sanjarcode]

Node.js is not printing the full error stack trace, only traces inside of node_modules are being print, and so I cannot see my app code. Is there a CLI option in Node.js to print the whole stack trace, unfiltered
— Sanjar

By default Node.js limits the number of stack trace lines that are printed to the console. However, you can increase the stack trace limit by setting the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable when running your Node.js application.

To print the full stack trace, you can set --trace-warnings and --stack-trace-limit=100000 flags in NODE_OPTIONS environment variable.

Example

NODE_OPTIONS='--trace-warnings --stack-trace-limit=100000' node app.js

Note: this may impact performance. Use with caution

Solution

Use the CLI option

1. Direct node - NODE_OPTIONS='--stack-trace-limit=0' node myApp.js
2. npm script - NODE_OPTIONS='--stack-trace-limit=0' npm myStart

Optional: you change the value (zero here). Negative values print less, and positive prints more. For example - setting to 10 will print only the first 10 node_modules errors.

Override default stack size (the actual problem)

Node limts the default error stack size (number of errors). To print all errors, run the following:

NODE_OPTIONS='--trace-warnings --stack-trace-limit=100000' node app.js

Optional: You can replace 100000 to set the limit.

has some issues, will fix
