I can't name my error handler handle()

[alavers]

I've debugged a very confusing RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded error that I began getting after trying out newrelic. I was hoping I might save someone else from the same trouble.

It has to do with error handling. Here's roughly what I had:

function handle(err, req, res, next) {
    // actual code truncated for convenience
    next(err);
}
app.use(handle);

This breaks because app.use(handle) is going to call newrelic's injected handle() method, not mine, which then infinitely recurses. Simply renaming handle() fixes the issue.

I'm not sure how, but maybe there's some way for newrelic to flag a warning whenever this happens.

Hi @alavers,

That shouldn't be happening. It should work no matter how you code it.
