It looks like ejs stringifies whatever is inside the <%= %> tag. When I tried your code, I got this error:

Syntax Error: Token 'Object' is unexpected, expecting []] at column 16 of the expression [test([object] starting at [{4}].

So I can't reproduce your "undefined" behaviour.

However, it looks like there is a way for it to work:

<button ng-click="test(<%= JSON.stringify(usr) %>)">

The test function actually receives an object here, not a string.

Alternatively, you could only pass the id of the user to the delete function, like this:

ng-click="test(<%= usr.id %>)"
