The problem

When using Winston with Playwright, I want the test to fail if an Error occurs. Setting 'exitOnError' to true, or a function that fails the test, does not work, nor writes to the log.

What version of Winston presents the issue?

v3.19.0

What version of Node are you using?

v22.13.0

If this worked in a previous version of Winston, which was it?

Minimum Working Example

playwright.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test";

export default defineConfig({
	timeout: 600_000,
	testDir: ".",
	fullyParallel: false,
	workers: 1,
	reporter: [],
	use: {
		trace: "on",
		headless: true,
	},
	projects: [
		{
			name: "chromium",
			use: {
				viewport: { height: 1080, width: 1920 },
			},
		},
	],
});

winston.spec.ts

import { test } from '@playwright/test'
import { createLogger, format, transports } from 'winston'

test('temp test', () => {
  const { combine, timestamp, json, errors } = format

  const logger = createLogger({
    level: process.env.LOGGER_LEVEL || 'info',
    format: combine(timestamp(), json(), errors({ stack: true })),
    transports: [new transports.File({ filename: './temp.log', zippedArchive: false })],
    exitOnError: function () {
      console.log('exitonerror')
      throw new Error('Something failed, view logs')
    },
  })

  logger.error('Demo Error')
})

or

import { test } from '@playwright/test'
import { createLogger, format, transports } from 'winston'

test('temp test', () => {
  const { combine, timestamp, json, errors } = format

  const logger = createLogger({
    level: process.env.LOGGER_LEVEL || 'info',
    format: combine(timestamp(), json(), errors({ stack: true })),
    transports: [new transports.File({ filename: './temp.log', zippedArchive: false })],
    exitOnError: true,
  })

  logger.error('Demo Error')
})
