winston colors, winston docker container fails,

The problem

Winston version: ^3.10.0
NodeJS version: v18.16.1
NPM version: 9.5.1
NextJS version: 13.4.10

Winston brakes the app (NextJS 13) because of an unhandled Exception in peer dependency (@colors/colors):
The error message reflects a TypeError in https://github.com/DABH/colors.js/blob/master/lib/system/has-flag.js file. Not checks the argv variable is not undefined.

Minimum Working Example

1. Fresh install NextJS with Tailwind CSS

npx create-next-app winston
Need to install the following packages:
  create-next-app@13.4.10
Ok to proceed? (y) y
✔ Would you like to use TypeScript? …  Yes
✔ Would you like to use ESLint? … No
✔ Would you like to use Tailwind CSS? … Yes
✔ Would you like to use `src/` directory? … Yes
✔ Would you like to use App Router? (recommended) … Yes
✔ Would you like to customize the default import alias? … No

2. Install the latest version of Winston

npm install winston

3. Make a logger instance in src/services/logger.ts file

import winston from 'winston';

const logger = winston.createLogger({
  level: 'debug',
  transports: [new winston.transports.Console()],
  format: winston.format.json(),
});
export default logger;

4. Create NextJS middleware in src/middleware.ts file

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server';

import logger from '@/services/logger';

export const config = {
  matcher: '/',
}

export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {

  if(request === undefined){
    return NextResponse.json({
      message: "Bad request"
    }, {
      status: 400,
    })
  }

  const testHeader = 'script-src \'self\';';

  if(testHeader.includes('default-src') === false){
    logger.error("Header values mismatch!")
  }

  const response = NextResponse.next();
  response.headers.set('Content-Security-Policy', testHeader);
  return response;
}

5. Start the app

npm run dev

After that the error (which is detailed above) has appeared in the console and the browser.

Important notice:
I tried all versions from the latest down to 3.8.2. But all present the same error. And I reproduced this outside of Docker environment too

[DABH]

@adampweb what version of colors are you picking up? I thought I fixed that colors issue in colors 1.6.0; maybe Winston needs to bump its dependency version? If so, please open a PR; if not, please consider opening a PR on colors? Thanks!

[adampweb]

The latest version of winston still uses v1.5.0 of @colors/colors. But another dependency (logform) of winston also uses this version:
Output of npm ls @colors/colors:

client@0.1.0 /path/of/my/project
└─┬ winston@3.10.0
  ├── @colors/colors@1.5.0
  └─┬ logform@2.4.0
    └── @colors/colors@1.5.0 deduped

[DABH]

Ah, ok. If you open some PRs to bump the dependencies, I can merge and publish new versions, so then you should be good to go. Thanks

[jeremybagwell]

Any idea when this will be released? I cannot figure how to work around 1.5.0 and continue to see the error.

[joekur]

Please consider re-opening #2328. At least we will know if there are still issues on 1.6.0, and can then narrow down to some other potential issue.

Please consider re-opening #2328. At least we will know if there are still issues on 1.6.0, and can then narrow down to some other potential issue.

Just started using Winston and I am seeing issues with @colors/colors for version 1.6.0

[jameshalsall]

"@colors/colors": "1.5.0",

is still in package.json for winston.
