1.2 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that have generated much discussion in the issue's comments.

1. enable corepack by default: This issue is about enabling Corepack by default in Node.js to ensure developers use the same version of pnpm specified in the packageManager field of package.json. The current problem is that developers often forget to enable Corepack, leading to inconsistencies in the package manager version used across different projects.

   • The comments discuss various perspectives on enabling Corepack by default, including concerns about security, maintenance, and the impact on npm. Some suggest splitting the discussion into separate topics, such as the relationship between Node.js and package managers, and the technical implementation of Corepack. There is also a call for clear documentation and governance regarding the inclusion of package managers in Node.js. The conversation includes a mix of support and opposition, with some advocating for enabling Corepack to improve developer experience and others raising technical and philosophical objections.
   • Number of comments: 122

2. Discussion: New “ESM by default” mode: This issue discusses the proposal of introducing a new mode in Node.js where the default module system is ECMAScript Modules (ESM) instead of CommonJS. The proposal suggests enabling this mode via a flag, with the potential for it to become the default in a future major release, and outlines various use cases and changes required to support this mode.

• The comments section includes a detailed discussion on the feasibility and implications of changing the default module system, concerns about ecosystem breakage, the handling of shebang scripts, and the potential introduction of a new flag or binary to support ESM by default. There is also debate on how to handle URL-based entry points and the impact on existing tools and workflows.
  • Number of comments: 98

1. .env file support issue tracker: This issue is a follow-up to a previous pull request to track the development process and address questions regarding the implementation of .env file support in Node.js. The main tasks include defining the syntax of .env files, supporting absolute paths, handling multiple --env-file parameters, supporting multi-line values, and considering the addition of a programmatic API.

   • The comments discuss various aspects such as the precedence of environment variables over .env file values, the need for a programmatic API, the potential use of different file formats like JSON or TOML, and the behavior of comments in .env files. There are also suggestions for additional features like supporting encrypted .env files and handling optional .env files without throwing errors.
   • Number of comments: 56

2. Proposal for a simple, universal module loader hooks API to replace require() monkey-patching: This issue proposes the creation of a simple, universal module loader hooks API to replace the current practice of monkey-patching the CommonJS (CJS) loader in Node.js. The goal is to provide a synchronous, in-thread API that works for both CJS and ECMAScript Modules (ESM), simplifying the migration path for tooling and users while allowing Node.js to deprecate require() monkey-patching.

   • The comments discuss various aspects of the proposal, including its potential benefits for third-party tools, the challenges of the current off-thread hooks, and the need for a universal API that supports both CJS and ESM. There are also concerns about maintaining the off-thread hooks, the complexity of the current module system, and the importance of ensuring that all use cases are covered before deprecating monkey-patching. Some comments suggest implementing the resolve and load hooks first and addressing the exports hook later.
   • Number of comments: 47

3. Support .noderc or similar file-based initialization configurations?: This issue discusses the potential implementation of a file-based initialization configuration for Node.js, similar to rc files used in other applications, to allow users to register loaders without using command line flags. The proposal includes options such as a dedicated .noderc file or adding a preload field in package.json to register hooks before the application code runs.

   • The comments section includes a detailed discussion on the format and structure of the proposed configuration file, with suggestions ranging from JSON, YAML, and TOML to custom formats. There is also debate on whether the configuration should be part of package.json or a standalone file, and considerations about the security implications and the need for the configuration to be editable by tools. The conversation also touches on the potential for versioning the configuration format to allow for future flexibility and updates.
   • Number of comments: 44

1.3 Top 5 Quiet Issues:

We consider quiet issues to be issues that have been opened in this project for the longest time. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

1. Improving development experience around snapshot errors: This issue is about improving the developer experience when dealing with snapshot errors in the Node.js project, as these errors are often difficult to debug and understand.

   • Open for 364 days, 00 hours, 49 minutes

2. RequireCache manual entries not working (Documentation sample code doesn't work): This issue highlights a problem with the require.cache documentation, which claims that manual addition or replacement of entries is possible, but in practice, this leads to loading failures when the object is set in require.cache. The user suggests that the problem might be due to a specific line in loader.js and proposes a potential fix, while also questioning whether manual manipulation of the cache should be supported or if the documentation needs updating.

   • Open for 362 days, 18 hours, 50 minutes

3. allowHalfOpen option from net has no effect due to autoDestroy = true: This issue highlights a problem where the allowHalfOpen option in the net module of Node.js has no effect because the autoDestroy option is hard set to true. As a result, the server socket is closed prematurely, preventing the intended use of half-open sockets, which contradicts the expected behavior of the allowHalfOpen option.

   • Open for 361 days, 19 hours, 06 minutes

4. Test runner: TAP reporter should only print failing subtests: This issue addresses a problem with the TAP reporter in the test runner, where it prints verbose output for all tests, including those that pass, in a file that contains failing tests. The user is experiencing difficulty identifying which test failed due to potential truncation issues and wishes for the reporter to only provide detailed output for the failing tests.

   • Open for 357 days, 22 hours, 01 minutes

5. Calling stream.end() in callback of stream.write() can leave ClientHttp2Session in an invalid state: This issue describes a bug in the http2 subsystem of Node.js where calling stream.end() within the callback of stream.write() can leave the ClientHttp2Session in an invalid state. Specifically, the session is not marked as destroyed, allowing streams to continue being added indefinitely, which can lead to an increase in session.state.outboundQueueSize until the process is terminated.

   • Open for 356 days, 20 hours, 50 minutes

1.4 Closed Issues

Closed Issues This Week: 16

Average Issue Close Time (This Week): 66.36 days

Summarized Issues:

• Self-referencing imports in Node.js: This issue is about a feature request to enable self-referencing imports in a Node.js project without requiring the "exports" field in the package.json file. The current setup results in an ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND error when attempting to import the package itself. This feature would simplify module imports and improve developer experience.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/50334

• UncaughtException event origin differentiation: This issue proposes a feature to differentiate the origin of uncaughtException events in Node.js.

This would aid in debugging by providing more context about the source of the error.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/51202

• JSON test reporter for Node.js: This issue proposes the addition of a JSON test reporter to the Node.js test module. The reporter would output raw JSON details of all test events directly to stdout, providing comprehensive information without the need for third-party libraries. It argues that this feature is more useful and common than some existing built-in reporters.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/51341

• fs.watch function on macOS: This issue describes a problem on macOS where the fs.watch function does not report an event when a watched folder is deleted. Unlike on Windows and Linux, where such an event is correctly reported, macOS fails to notify the deletion. This inconsistency can lead to synchronization issues in applications relying on file system events.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/52055

• useCodeCache in Single Executable Applications: This issue highlights that setting useCodeCache to true when creating Single Executable Applications (SEAs) for cross-platform use leads to executable crashes. It suggests updating the documentation to reflect this limitation. This would prevent developers from encountering unexpected crashes.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/52420

• npm ENOENT error on Windows: This issue describes a problem where npm is not functioning correctly on a Windows machine due to a missing directory (C:\Users\yagiz\AppData\Roaming\npm). This results in an ENOENT error when attempting to run npx commands. It highlights the need for a fix or workaround to address this installation issue.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/53538

• ReadableStream.from error message: This issue describes a confusing error message returned by the ReadableStream.from({}) function in Node.js v22.4.1. The error message is not descriptive enough and suggests that the function prototype call is not a function. Improving the error handling and validation would provide a clearer message indicating that the value is not iterable.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/53819

• Assertion failure during npm install in Docker: This issue describes an assertion failure encountered during the npm install step of a Docker build for a Node.js application using GitLab CI/CD. The failure occurs in the node::WorkerThreadsTaskRunner::DelayedTaskScheduler::Start() function. It was ultimately resolved by removing the RUN npm prune --production command.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/53919

• Data URL imports with --experimental-network-imports: This issue describes a bug where importing JavaScript code using data: URLs fails with the --experimental-network-imports flag in Node.js. Even though no actual network import occurs, the restriction on data: imports from other data: sources may have been overlooked. This bug needs addressing to allow data: URL imports.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/53992

• console.timeEnd and console.timeLog with --frozen-intrinsics: This issue describes a bug where the console.timeEnd and console.timeLog methods throw a TypeError when used with the --frozen-intrinsics flag in Node.js v22.5.1 on a Linux platform. The error is due to an attempt to write to a non-extensible object. This needs fixing to ensure compatibility with the --frozen-intrinsics flag.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/54057

• Experimental permissions feature with Buffers: This issue describes a bug in Node.js where the experimental permissions feature fails with a TypeError when file system functions that accept Buffers are used. Specifically, during a recursive delete operation, the permissions checking code does not allow Buffers as valid path arguments. This needs fixing to support Buffers in file system functions.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/54100

• Drawbacks of integrating TypeScript: This issue discusses the potential drawbacks and complexities of integrating TypeScript into a Node.js ecosystem. It argues that the benefits may not justify the transition. The suggestion is to maintain the current JavaScript setup instead.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/54126

• err_internal_assertion pop-up on Windows 11: This issue describes a user encountering an "err_internal_assertion" pop-up on Windows 11 after starting Slack and Microsoft Teams. The issue appears to be related to an outdated version of Node.js. Updating Node.js may resolve this problem.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/54139

• Intl.NumberFormat Japanese currency symbol: This issue describes a problem with the Intl.NumberFormat function in Node.js. The Japanese currency symbol is incorrectly displayed as "JPY" instead of "JP¥" when the locale is set to French. This needs fixing to ensure correct currency symbol display.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/54143

• Dynamic tests failing in Node.js: This issue describes a problem with dynamic tests in a Node.js project. Tests fail with the message "test did not finish before its parent and was cancelled," likely due to nested tests not being properly awaited. Properly awaiting nested tests would resolve this issue.
  • github.com/nodejs/node/issues/54163

• Node.js installation failure with nvm on Darwin: This issue describes a failure to install Node.js version 14.21.3 using nvm on a Darwin platform.
