Introducing Socket Fix for Safe, Automated Dependency Upgrades
Automatically fix and test dependency updates with socket fix—a new CLI tool that turns CVE alerts into safe, automated upgrades.
set-error-message
Advanced tools
Properly update an error's message.
In V8 (Chrome, Node.js, Deno, etc.),
error.stack
includes
error.message
.
However, if error.message
is modified, error.stack
might not be updated and
still contain the previous message.
This library fixes it by setting error.message
while updating error.stack
accordingly. This works on any JavaScript engine.
Without set-error-message
:
const error = new Error('one')
console.log(error.message) // 'one'
console.log(error.stack) // 'Error: one ...'
error.message = 'two'
console.log(error.message) // 'two'
console.log(error.stack) // 'Error: one ...'
With set-error-message
:
import setErrorMessage from 'set-error-message'
const error = new Error('one')
console.log(error.message) // 'one'
console.log(error.stack) // 'Error: one ...'
setErrorMessage(error, 'two')
console.log(error.message) // 'two'
console.log(error.stack) // 'Error: two ...'
npm install set-error-message
This package works in both Node.js >=18.18.0 and browsers.
This is an ES module. It must be loaded using
an import
or import()
statement,
not require()
. If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to
output ES modules,
not CommonJS.
error
Error | any
newMessage
string
Return value: Error
Sets error.message = newMessage
.
Returns error
. If error
is not an Error
instance, it is converted to one.
