I'm trying to create an error message/log using "winston-mongodb" while sending it to my database. In my MongoDB Compass it created a log folder as expected, but there's no data in it.

Here's my code:

index.js

require("winston-mongodb");

winston.add(new winston.transports.MongoDB({ db: "mongodb://localhost/vidly_node_js" }));

genres.js

router.get("/", async (req, res) => {
   throw new Error("Could not get the genres.");
   const genres = await Genre.find().sort("name");
   res.send(genres);
});

I'm supposed to be getting this:

But this is what I keep getting:

What am I missing???

Also "throw new Error("Could not get the genres.")" is making the code down below in my get function "unreachable". Maybe that's the reason? If so, what do I need todo to fix it? Because it’s giving me an error that says:

TypeError: common.clone is not a function
