PostgresError prints as {} with node --test

[Pyrolistical]

Env:

$ node -v
v20.8.0
$ ack postgres package.json
    "postgres": "3.4.0",

Given repo.js

import { test } from "node:test";

import postgres from "postgres";
test("should print PostgresError", async () => {
  const sql = postgres(`postgres://${process.env.USER}@localhost`);
  try {
    await sql`
      invalid query
    `;
  } catch (error) {
    // console.log("error does print correctly", error);
    throw error;
  } finally {
    await sql.end();
  }
});

Run node --test repo.js

Expected

$ node --test repo.js
✖ should print PostgresError (...ms)
  PostgresError: syntax error at or near "invalid"
      at TestContext.<anonymous> (.../repo.js:12:11)
      at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)
      at async Test.run (node:internal/test_runner/test:632:9)
      at async startSubtest (node:internal/test_runner/harness:208:3)

Actual

$ node --test repo.js
✖ should print PostgresError (...ms)
  {}

I think it has something to do with how the errors from the test are serialized to the test runner. By the time it gets to class TestsStream, it is already broken.

I found the issue. It is caused by the Object.create in queryError

This hack fixes the issues:

function queryError(query, err) {
    query.reject(err)
    // query.reject(Object.create(err, {
    //   stack: { value: err.stack + query.origin.replace(/.*\n/, '\n'), enumerable: options.debug },
    //   query: { value: query.string, enumerable: options.debug },
    //   parameters: { value: query.parameters, enumerable: options.debug },
    //   args: { value: query.args, enumerable: options.debug },
    //   types: { value: query.statement && query.statement.types, enumerable: options.debug }
    // }))
  }
