[Question] Custom Errors by extending ApolloError

[hitech95]

I've tried to create my own error to throw when login fails too many times:

import { ApolloError } from "apollo-server-errors/src/index"

export class AuthLockdownError extends ApolloError {
  constructor(message: string, properties?: Record<string, any>) {
    super(message, 'AUTH_LOCKDOWN', properties);

    Object.defineProperty(this, 'name', { value: 'AuthLockdownError' });
  }
}

Usage:

 // Handle a login request to the application.
  async login(requestIP: string, data: { email: string; password: string }): Promise<User> {
    ...

    if (AUTH_THROTTLE && await this.hasTooManyLoginAttempts(throttleKey)) {
      throw new AuthLockdownError("Too many loin attempts have failed")
    }

    const isValidPassword = await bcrypt.compare(data.password, user.password)
    ....
  }

When doing so I get the following error

(node:7284) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: D:\graphql-tests\typescript-boilerplate\node_modules\apollo-server-errors\src\index.ts:1
import { GraphQLError, GraphQLFormattedError } from 'graphql';

I'm quite new with TS/Node but I don't understand why is giving me this issue on a module instead of on my code. Reading online looks like that it have to do with the tsconfig.ts file.

Any suggestyion on how to solve this using this boilerplate?
