[SOLVED] Node Function Map log is always empty

I have an appwrite function where i define a map and add some keys and values. For testing purposes i tried to log the map but the problem is that the result of the log is always '{}' even if the map is filled.

i just created a node 18 function where i pasted this code.

  const m = new Map();
  // result is '{}' as expected
  console.log('m:');
  console.log(m);
  m.set("a", 1);
  m.set("b", 2);
  m.set("c", 3);
  // result is '{}' which is not expected.
  // I am expecting '{a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}'
  console.log('m:');
  console.log(m);

  // result is '[1,2,3]' as expected
  console.log("Array.from(m.values())");
  console.log(Array.from(m.values()));

  // result is '[a,b,c]' as expected
  console.log("Array.from(m.keys())");
  console.log(Array.from(m.keys()));

the result of the appwrite console is:

m:
{}
m:
{} <-- this should be filled while logging
Array.from(m.values())
[1,2,3]
Array.from(m.keys())
["a","b","c"]
m.get("a")
1
m.has("a"):
true

I find this behaviour very strange and unexpected. I am logging the map in an larger function for developing purpose. Is this behaviour expected?

Note: I am still on appwrite version 1.3.7

The logs use JSON.stringify() on objects but some objects don't handle that well. That's probably what's going on. You can try doing m.toString() or you'd have to manually print out the map.

Thank you very much.

JSON.stringify() just outputs [object Object]. What works is this: console.log(Object.fromEntries(m))
