If you need stderr, for example, you should use spawnSync.

The following is an example of overdoing it with execSync.
The main method is to bring the error output to the standard output by attaching 2>>1 to the command.
This is a shell function, so if you want to know more about it, please look into shell and shell scripts, not node.js.
Assume sh-like shells.

#!/usr/bin/node
"use strict";
varchild_process=require("child_process");


console.log("#Retrieved by redirecting to standard output.Mix with standard output";
// The last thing I'm doing is running the true command to make sure it's successful.
varls_stdout_and_err =child_process.execSync("ls exist.txt not_exist.txt2>&1;true");
console.log({ls_stdout_and_err:ls_stdout_and_err.toString()});


console.log("\n#Retrieved by redirecting to standard output.Discard the original standard output.");
varls_stderr =child_process.execSync(
        "ls exist.txt not_exist.txt2>&1>/dev/null;true";
console.log({ls_stderr:ls_stderr.toString()});


console.log("\n#Replace standard output with errors");
varls_stderr =child_process.execSync(
        "ls exist.txt not_exist.txt3>&1>&22>&3;true";
console.log({ls_stderr:ls_stderr.toString()});


console.log("\n#Retrieve by catching errors";
try{
    // The last time I'm running the false command is to make sure it fails.
    child_process.execSync("ls exist.txt not_exist.txt; false");
}
catch(err){
    console.log({
        ls_stdout —err.stdout.toString(),
        ls_stderr —err.stderr.toString(),
    });
}

If you run it on a terminal, for example:Note that the error output of the command is also displayed.

#Retrieved by redirecting to standard output.be mixed with standard output
{ ls_stdout_and_err: 'ls:cannot access\'not_exist.txt\': No such file or directory\nexist.txt\n'}

# Retrieved by redirecting to standard output.discard the original standard output
{ ls_stderr: 'ls:cannot access\'not_exist.txt\': No such file or directory\n'}

# Obtain standard output and error replacement
exist.txt
{ ls_stderr: 'ls:cannot access\'not_exist.txt\': No such file or directory\n'}

# Retrieving by Error Catch
ls:cannot access 'not_exist.txt'—No such file or directory
{ ls_stdout: 'exist.txt\n',
  ls_stderr: 'ls:cannot access\'not_exist.txt\': No such file or directory\n'}
