It _crashed_, thus there is no webserver anymore, it cannot tell you anything other than the last entry in the log.  
Certain "typo's" will crash programs, others won't, that is because it is not so simple to catch user errors.

For your specific example: you could (or should) have used a `try`, `catch` [block](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/try...catch), so that your code doesn't crash node-red.
