Encountering a Circular JSON stringify error on Nest.js without a useful stack trace

My application is being plagued by this critical error in production:

/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/common/services/console-logger.service.js:137
            ? `${this.colorize('Object:', logLevel)}\n${JSON.stringify(message, (key, value) => typeof value === 'bigint' ? value.toString() : value, 2)}\n`
                                                             ^

TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
    --> starting at object with constructor 'ClientRequest'
    |     property 'socket' -> object with constructor 'Socket'
    --- property '_httpMessage' closes the circle
    at JSON.stringify (<anonymous>)
    at ConsoleLogger.stringifyMessage (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/common/services/console-logger.service.js:137:62)
    at ConsoleLogger.formatMessage (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/common/services/console-logger.service.js:130:29)

    at ConsoleLogger.error (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/common/services/console-logger.service.js:44:14)
    at Logger.error (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/common/services/logger.service.js:34:75)

    at ExceptionsHandler.handleUnknownError (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/exceptions/base-exception-filter.js:54:43)

I am unable to replicate this issue during development and I am unsure of its root cause. Is there a way for me to trace back to where this error originated?

Even after running with DEBUG=*, I have not been able to pinpoint the exact source of the problem.

Based on my logs, I suspect that the error is occurring near these lines:

      this.logger.error(error.toString())
      throw new InternalServerErrorException(error.toString())

However, it appears that error.toString() returns [object Object], which although unhelpful, may not be incorrect.

Answer №1

It seems that an error, most likely an AxiosError or a similar HTTP client error, was not properly converted into an HttpException that Nest could handle. This may have caused Nest to attempt logging the error unsuccessfully. I recommend reviewing your usage of HttpService (or any other HTTP clients) for any potential issues. If you are still unable to identify the problem, consider utilizing a different logger that can manage circular JSON structures. Personally, I suggest using ogma, which is a tool I developed myself. Alternatively, you may also consider using pino.
