The PR seems to be missing a test case that exercises the change and shows why it was made. What happens when the .stack property holds something that JSON.stringify cannot deal with like a bigint?

The code run JSONstringify only in case the stack value is null or undefined.

Try running this snippet with the changes in this PR. On my end it causes an unexpected exception:

console.log(new Error("foo", { cause: 9007199254740991n }));

Output:

error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt
console.log(new Error("foo", { cause: 9007199254740991n }));

Deno should not error like that. To make it work we must ensure that any JS value can be printed, not just a subset.

Yes, it causes an error also on my side, I will add a fix to it.

@marvinhagemeister I changed my code to use inspect rather than JSONstringify, since it handles all the data types
