error logging

I notice that if I use console.error, I get the stacktrace and cause of an error, but logging the same error with logger.error gives me a truncated message that makes debugging difficult. Is there a way to configure it to show the full trace, or is this truncation intentional?

I think this branch is what is throwing away the information. When one of the arguments is an error, only the message is kept. So a custom stringifyFunc could be used to override this behavior.

 } else if (msg && msg.stack && msg.message) { stringMsg = msg.message + " "; } else { try { stringMsg = "\n" + safeStringify(msg) + "\n"; } catch (error) { stringMsg += "Undefined Message"; }

I found that the merge-error-cause lib can provide a nice output in a single string even for complex errors:

 } else if (msg?.message && msg?.stack) { const merged = mergeErrorCause(msg); stringMsg = `${merged.message}\n${merged.stack}\n${merged.cause ?? ''}`; } else {
