How do I view object error in AWS Lambda Node js


I have an error on my AWS Lambda.

{
  "errorType": "object",
  "errorMessage": "[object Object]",
  "trace": []
}

I was wondering how do I view the errorMessage [object Object]?


Solution

  • I hope it's not too late. I had the same issue and I solved it by following this instruction from the following link:

    "You must turn the myErrorObj object into a JSON string before calling callback to exit the function. Otherwise, the myErrorObj is returned as a string of "[object Object]"."

    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/handle-errors-in-lambda-integration.html

    I simply passing the "error" object as JSON.stringify(error) solved the problem in my case.
