I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases:

The current version of this repository is v23.8.0

1.2 Version Information:

Released on February 13, 2025, this Node.js update introduces several key features, including support for using system CA certificates on macOS and Windows, the implementation of the URL Pattern API, and the addition of the Zstandard (zstd) compression algorithm. Notable enhancements also include naming threads for improved debugging and updated timezone data to 2025a, reflecting changes such as Paraguay's adoption of permanent -03 time starting in spring 2024.

II. Issues

2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.

1. Node regression in v22.14.0 resolving ESM module: This issue reports a regression in Node.js version 22.14.0, where an error occurs when resolving ESM modules, specifically affecting an Nx Angular application. The error message indicates that there is no "exports" main defined in the package.json of the @jsverse/transloco-keys-manager module, which was not a problem in the previous version, 22.13.1.

   • The comments discuss potential related pull requests and confirm that the issue persists in newer Node.js versions. They provide details on how the module exports are defined and identify the error's origin in the tsconfig-paths package. There is a discussion about the presence of unrecognized export keys and tests being added to address this. Some users report the error occurring with any Node.js version, while others confirm that version 22.13.1 works without issues.
   • Number of comments this week: 9

2. console.log({ '"\'': 0 }) gives syntactically invalid JS: This issue highlights a problem with the console.log function in Node.js, where it outputs an object with a key containing both single and double quotes in a format that is not syntactically valid JavaScript. The user expects the output to be in a format that can be directly copy-pasted into code, similar to JSON-compatible objects, and notes that while Deno has the same issue, Bun does not.

   • The comments discuss the intentional design choice for readability, the possibility of implementing an option for JSON-compatible output, and the expectation of valid JavaScript output. Some users argue that expecting valid JavaScript from console.log is unreasonable, suggesting JSON.stringify as an alternative. There is also a clarification about the specific syntax error in Node.js, and the original poster mentions raising a similar issue with Deno, indicating this is more about completeness than an expectation for immediate change.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

3. TypeError: Cannot add property source, object is not extensible: This issue involves a TypeError encountered when attempting to run a synchronous version of a transpilation example from the Node.js API documentation, where the error message indicates that a property cannot be added to an object because it is not extensible. The problem is consistently reproducible and is believed to be due to incorrect examples in the documentation, which fail to pass the required context to the nextLoad hook, leading to errors.

   • The comments discuss the incorrectness of both async and sync examples, highlighting issues like the ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION and missing context in the nextLoad hook. A user provides a minimal example showing the async version works while the sync version fails, and another comment suggests that the sync hooks require a mandatory context parameter, which is currently causing the issue.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

4. Nominating @geeksilva97 to be a collaborator: This issue is about nominating @geeksilva97 to become a collaborator on the Node.js project due to their consistent contributions and involvement in the community. The nomination highlights their ability to run continuous integration (CI) processes and references their authored commits, opened pull requests, and issues within the Node.js repositories.

   • The comments section shows strong support for the nomination, with multiple users expressing agreement by commenting "+1" and the nominee expressing gratitude for the honor.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

5. O_DIRECT with EINVAL error: This issue involves a problem with using the O_DIRECT flag for file reading or writing in Node.js, which results in an EINVAL: invalid argument, read error on certain Linux filesystems like xfs and overlayfs, while the same operation works on tmpfs and macOS. The issue is further complicated by the fact that a similar implementation in Go does not encounter this error, suggesting a potential limitation or bug in Node.js's handling of O_DIRECT.

   • The comments discuss the need for a buffer aligned on a 512-byte boundary when using O_DIRECT, which is not straightforward in Node.js, leading to the error. A user confirms that Node.js lacks a practical way to achieve the necessary buffer alignment to bypass the Linux kernel's page cache, implying a limitation in Node.js for this use case.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

2.4 Closed Issues

This section lists, groups, and then summarizes issues that were closed within the last week in the repository. This section also links the associated pull requests if applicable.

Issues Closed This Week: 24

Summarized Issues:

• High CPU Usage and Network Traffic in Node.js with Windows Named Pipes: This issue involves high CPU usage and network traffic in a Node.js project when using Windows named pipes, attributed to the extensive sending of FSCTL_PIPE_PEEK requests. It suggests using fs.createReadStream as a potential workaround to mitigate these performance issues.
  • issues/51968

• Node.js Command Line Enhancements: The need for an optional --root-directory flag in the node --run command is discussed to limit the recursive search for package.json and the addition of /node_modules/.bin paths to the PATH environment variable. This enhancement aims to prevent undesired behavior in monorepos with multiple workspaces by restricting these actions to a specified directory.
  • issues/53831

• Node.js Feature Detection and Execution Context: This issue discusses the need for a feature in Node.js to detect whether code is executed via the --import flag. It proposes potential solutions such as a new API or utilizing existing mechanisms like import.meta.main or module.isPreloading to help libraries ensure they are run as intended and warn users if not.
  • issues/53882

• Node.js Stream Compatibility Bug: A bug in Node.js v20.12.0 is highlighted where the fileHandle.readableWebStream() method returns chunks as ArrayBuffer instead of Uint8Array. This causes an ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE error when attempting to use Readable.fromWeb() to convert the web stream to a Node.js stream, suggesting that the default behavior should be adjusted to ensure compatibility.
  • issues/54041

• SHAKE128/256 Output Length Limitation in Node.js: The need for SHAKE128/256 in Node.js to produce outputs of unlimited length is addressed, as the current implementation requires a predefined outputSize. This limitation forces users to rely on third-party libraries for applications like the Xray-core library, where SHAKE128 is used as a stream cipher to generate an infinite byte stream.
  • issues/54406

• Flaky Test on Linux x64 Platform: A flaky test named "test-worker-message-port-infinite-message-loop" on the Linux x64 platform is discussed, where the test fails due to an assertion error after hitting 10,001 loop iterations. The issue has been closed due to no recent occurrences in the reliability repository.
  • issues/55062

• Custom DNS Lookup Failure in Node.js v20: A custom DNS lookup function fails on Node.js version 20 and above, while it works on Node.js version 18, due to changes in how Node.js handles DNS resolution outputs. This results in an "Invalid IP address" error when the expected behavior is a successful connection to GitHub using a specified IP address.
  • issues/55762

• Non-standard Import Assertions Warning Removal: The removal of warnings for non-standard import assertions in NodeJS version v18.20.5 is discussed, which were present in previous versions. It is suggested that these warnings should be reinstated to alert users about the non-standard nature of import assertions, especially as this also affects the upcoming v20.x LTS version.
  • issues/55869

• Build Failure with --fully-static Flag: A build failure in version 23.5.0 of a Node.js project is described when using the --fully-static flag, resulting in errors related to the ICU library and a specific SQLite update. This causes the build process to fail on platforms like Docker amd64 on AWS Fargate, while other versions do not exhibit this problem.
  • issues/56347

• Environment Variables Not Loaded from Env File: A bug is described where environment variables are not loaded from an env file when a preceding 'blank' line contains spaces or tabs. This causes the variables on the subsequent lines to be undefined, contrary to the expected behavior where such whitespace lines should be ignored.
  • issues/56686

• Self-assignment Check in SocketAddress Class: A suggestion is made to add a self-assignment check in the constructors and assignment operators of the SocketAddress class to prevent unnecessary calls to memcpy. This is highlighted in the provided code snippet and GitHub link.
  • issues/56718

• Deprecation Warning and Assertion Error in Stremio Server: A deprecation warning and an internal assertion error in a Stremio streaming server are discussed, attributed to the misuse of Node.js internals by a third-party application. This is not considered a bug in Node.js itself.
  • issues/56896

• Check for "Unwrap" Function in Node.js Crypto Module: A suggestion is made to add a check for the "Unwrap" function in the 'src/crypto/crypto_keys.cc' file of the Node.js project. This was identified by the Linux Verification Center using SVACE and reported by Burkov Egor from R-Vision.
  • issues/56899

• Inconsistent os.machine() Function Output: A discrepancy in the os.machine() function in Node.js is highlighted, where it returns different values for the same host system depending on the architecture the application was compiled for. This inconsistency is contrary to the expected behavior that should be independent of the target CPU architecture.
  • issues/56975

• Unsupported Ed25519 Private Key Import: A user attempts to import an Ed25519 private key using the "raw" format with the key usage set to "sign," which is unsupported according to the Web Crypto API specification. The "raw" format is only valid for importing public keys with the usage "verify."
  • issues/56982

• Intl.NumberFormat Bug in Node.js v23.7.0: A bug in the Intl.NumberFormat function in Node.js version 23.7.0 is described, where formatting a number with Italian locale settings incorrectly omits the decimal separator. This behavior differs from previous Node.js versions and Chrome, potentially due to a deliberate change in the Unicode CLDR standard.
  • issues/56987

• fs.statSync Error Handling Discrepancy: The fs.statSync function in Node.js is discussed, where using the throwIfNoEntry: false option unexpectedly throws an ENOTDIR error instead of returning undefined. This highlights a discrepancy in error handling that is consistent with the platform's behavior of suppressing ENOENT but not ENOTDIR.
  • issues/56993

• Support for Windows Certificate Store in npm: A request is made to add support for the Windows Certificate Store in npm to facilitate downloading from an npmjs mirror within a Zero Trust Policy network. The current lack of support prevents utilizing internal CAs managed by administrators.
  • issues/56994

• readline.question Asynchronous Behavior Discrepancy: A discrepancy between the Node.js documentation and actual behavior is highlighted, where the readline.question method is not functioning asynchronously as expected unless imported from node:readline/promises. This leads to confusion and requires a workaround to achieve the desired asynchronous input handling.
  • issues/57035

• Build Failure in Node.js v23.8.0 on Linux: A build failure for Node.js version 23.8.0 on a Linux platform is described, where the build process using specific commands fails due to a compilation error related to the C++ standard library. It is suggested that upgrading the GCC compiler to version 12 or higher may resolve the problem.
  • issues/57039

• Node.js REPL Crash with URLPattern: A bug in Node.js version 23.8.0 is described where using the URLPattern object in the REPL causes a crash with a std::out_of_range error. This problem is not limited to the REPL environment, with a fix being proposed in a related pull request.
  • issues/57043

• Closed GitHub Issues with Minimal Information: Several closed GitHub issues from the Node.js project are noted, which may have been flagged as spam potentially generated by a tool or AI. These issues contain minimal information, such as a single letter "K" or an empty body.
