**Winston version:** _^3.10.0_

**NodeJS version:** _v18.16.1_

The error message reflects a TypeError in [https://github.com/DABH/colors.js/blob/master/lib/system/has-flag.js](https://github.com/DABH/colors.js/blob/master/lib/system/has-flag.js) file. Not checks the argv variable is not undefined.

```

const logger = winston.createLogger({

  level: 'debug',

  transports: [new winston.transports.Console()],

  format: winston.format.json(),

});

export default logger;

```

**4. Create NextJS middleware in `src/middleware.ts` file**

```ts

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';

import type { NextRequest } from 'next/server';



import logger from '@/services/logger';



export const config = {

  matcher: '/',

}



export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {



  if(request === undefined){

    return NextResponse.json({

      message: "Bad request"

    }, {

      status: 400,

    })

  }



  const testHeader = 'script-src \'self\';';



  if(testHeader.includes('default-src') === false){

    logger.error("Header values mismatch!")

  }



  const response = NextResponse.next();

  response.headers.set('Content-Security-Policy', testHeader);

  return response;

}

```

**5. Start the app**

```bash

npm run dev

```

**After that the error (which is detailed above) has appeared in the console and the browser.**
