• min:

{
  constructor: {
    value: [Function: Error],
    writable: false,
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: false
  },
  name: {
    get: [Function: getter],
    set: [Function: setter],
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: false
  },
  message: {
    value: '',
    writable: false,
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: false
  },
  toString: {
    value: [Function: toString],
    writable: false,
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: false
  }
}

• moderate (default):

{
  constructor: { get: {}, set: {}, enumerable: false, configurable: false },
  name: { get: {}, set: {}, enumerable: false, configurable: false },
  message: { get: {}, set: {}, enumerable: false, configurable: false },
  toString: { get: {}, set: {}, enumerable: false, configurable: false }
}

• severe:

Object <[Object: null prototype] {}> {
  constructor: Object <[Object: null prototype] {}> {
    get: [Function: getter] Function <Function <Complex prototype>>,
    set: [Function: setter] Function <Function <Complex prototype>>,
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: false
  },
  name: Object <[Object: null prototype] {}> {
    get: [Function: getter] Function <Function <Complex prototype>>,
    set: [Function: setter] Function <Function <Complex prototype>>,
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: false
  },
  message: Object <[Object: null prototype] {}> {
    get: [Function: getter] Function <Function <Complex prototype>>,
    set: [Function: setter] Function <Function <Complex prototype>>,
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: false
  },
  toString: Object <[Object: null prototype] {}> {
    get: [Function: getter] Function <Function <Complex prototype>>,
    set: [Function: setter] Function <Function <Complex prototype>>,
    enumerable: false,
    configurable: false
  }
}

first '%ErrorPrototype%': { constructor: true } breaks the logging of errors
adding '%ObjectPrototype%': { 'constructor': true } fixes the logging of errors

why constructor as getter is problematic ^

for:

• (no relevant enablements)

constructor is 'Error' https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/7633c86eebbf6e381e60e63dc6e3eb36a3cce276/lib/internal/util/inspect.js#L803

for:

• '%ErrorPrototype%': { constructor: true }

constructor is 'Object' https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/7633c86eebbf6e381e60e63dc6e3eb36a3cce276/lib/internal/util/inspect.js#L803

for:

• '%ErrorPrototype%': { constructor: true }
• '%ObjectPrototype%': { 'constructor': true }

constructor is 'Error <Object <[Object: null prototype] {}>>' https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/7633c86eebbf6e381e60e63dc6e3eb36a3cce276/lib/internal/util/inspect.js#L803

this api may allow us to customize and fix output https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/7633c86eebbf6e381e60e63dc6e3eb36a3cce276/lib/internal/util/inspect.js#L294-L304

neat hack, if you add a constructor property on the Error instance, it will log correctly in node

Object.defineProperty(err, 'constructor', { value: Error })
