Your object e is an error object. When you try to stringify that you get {} in chrome and node. Safari shows a little more info.

e

{}

let e = new Error("hello")
console.log(typeof e)
console.log(JSON.stringify(e))

You can test for errors with:

let e = new Error("Some error happened")
if (e instanceof Error) {
console.log("Error:", e.message)
}
