Express.js logs error to console

Question

I'm having the most odd of problems. In one of my controllers I throw an error using the following snippet

next(new NotFoundError('User not found'))

For some reason I'm getting the error logged to the console, not really knowing why.

Answer 1

After having looked over the code a handful of times, I realized that the problem came from not exiting the function after calling next(err) .

This code

next(new NotFoundError('User not found'))

Should be

return next(new NotFoundError('User not found'))

Notice the return statement before the function call.
