    First thanks for your answers.

    I figured out the issue.

    The error was in the included EJS file<%- include ('../api_html/connection/connection_list.ejs') %>.

    For example, if you include <% include ../partials/header %> that contains <%= user.email %>, it will work perfectly when the user is defined (user is logged in) but will throw esc in not a function when it's not.

    As @Dash answered the question, it happens when you have an undefined variable in the .ejs template. There is a tricky way to find this variable and the way to do that is to put the template code directly in your ejs file and now when you run your app you can see which variable in undefined. For example, let's assume that you have index.ejs and in this file you included a template <%include partials/_pagination.ejs %>. Now if you encounter this error, simply copy and past the code within the _pagination file in your index and run your app to find which variable is undefined.

    I don't have reputation to comment so .... I just saw the same symptom. In my case I accidentally changed "currentUser.name" to "currentUser.Name" (uppercase "N") from a sample in the book "Express In Action", section 8.

    in routes.js

    var passport = require( "passport" );
    router.use( function( req, res, next ) {
        res.locals.currentUser = req.user;
    }
    

    views/_header.ejs

    <a href="/edit">
        Hello <%= currentUser.Name() %>
    </a>
    

    when I changed back to "currentUser.name" the TypeError disappeared
