winston logger not serializing mongodb.ObjectID
What you are looking for is a format specifier most probably.
You can do something like this:
winston.info('%j', new ObjectId());
You can read about format specifiers here http://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_format_format
In the end I wrapped the winston logging methods in a function that just applied the node format utility with the default format to all the arguments. Works a treat so far:
var util = require('util');var winston = require('winston');var fixWinstonParams = function (fn) { return function () { for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) { arguments[i] = util.format( arguments[i]); } return fn.apply(this, arguments); };};['info', 'error', 'debug', 'warn'].map(function(each){ winston[each] = fixWinstonParams( winston[each])});
