I node debug my .js file and I catch(error) {

when I console.dir(error) it just says

[Function: bound ]

What is going on? How do I get the full error object? How do I get the stack trace?

What is going on?

[Function: bound] seems to be a bound function object, i.e. the result of a .bind() call.

How do I get the full error object? How do I get the stack trace?

Not at all. You don't get these if you're not throwing Error objects. You'll need to find the code that (unwittingly?) throws a function object and fix it.

im taking a shot in the dark here but try

         callback(success, err): ....if (err) {return res.serverError(err);}
         console.log(err)
