Cannot Expand Thrown Errors in Node Debug Console

[mjbvz]

Testing #15796

1. Start debugging a node2 program
2. Run throw {x: 2} in the debug console

Expected
When running console.error({x: 2}), an expandable object is printed

Actual
Only prints the error text in this case

The reason it's a string is that an Error object doesn't look very good when you try to read the multiline stack as an object property. Definitely something to improve in the future though, especially for throwing other objects like this.

This would be a feature request on vscode + debug protocol to give a better way to visualize a multiline string (error + stack) plus an object with expandable props. Feel free to close it though.

Chrome devtools lets me expand the object inline with the error message:
