I have the following code in a google cloud function. When the user account is created it returns status 200 and the name of the registered user which I can access from the return of the successful promise. All works as expected. However, when there is an error creating the new user the status changes to 400 but no matter what on the client side I get an error of "Error: invalid-argument". I want to pass the error message from the google cloud function. When I check the cloud function logs, I can see the error code and error message.
What I tried: I did try to use the throw new functions.https.HttpsError() but I get a CORS error message.
Any advice on getting the cloud function to pass the error message properly?

let message = 'Registered user '+registerDetails.DisplayName+".";
res.status(200).json({data: message});
console.log('Successfully created new user:', userRecord.uid);
},(error)=>{
res.status(400).json({code:error.errorInfo.code,message:error.errorInfo.message})
console.log('Error creating new user:', error);
})
}
}
};
