I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases:

The current version of this repository is v23.10.0

1.2 Version Information:

The version released on March 13, 2025, introduces the --experimental-config-file feature, allowing developers to use a JSON configuration file to streamline the use of multiple flags, enhancing the developer experience. Notable updates include improvements in error handling, updates to root certificates, and the addition of new methods like tls.getCACertificates() and v8.getCppHeapStatistics(), reflecting a trend towards increased configurability and security enhancements.

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. NodeJS segfaults for some tests on big-endian linux-ppc64: This issue involves a problem with building Node.js on a big-endian Linux PPC64 system, where the build process fails due to a segmentation fault caused by the MemoryOptimizationReducer not being able to remove a write barrier for certain operations. The issue has been identified as occurring after a specific commit, which introduced changes related to the initialization of cppgc, and it is noted that while PPC is not officially supported by V8, the problem did not exist in previous versions up to 20.13.

   • The comments discuss the lack of official support for big-endian Linux PPC64, request additional details about the environment, and identify a specific commit that introduced the issue. The user provides detailed environment information and mentions that the issue did not exist in earlier versions, suggesting a regression. The discussion also includes a backtrace of the segmentation fault and a reference to the commit that likely caused the problem.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

2. ESM syntax detection ignores certain top-level awaits: This issue addresses a bug in Node.js v23.11.0 where the ESM syntax detection fails to recognize certain top-level await expressions in JavaScript files with a .js extension, leading to a syntax error. The expected behavior is for the code to be treated as a module when using top-level await, but instead, it results in a syntax error unless specific conditions are met or workarounds are applied.

   • The comments discuss various workarounds for the issue, such as using an export {} statement or changing the file extension to .mjs. There is also a request for updates on the issue and an offer to contribute if guidance is provided on the relevant codebase.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

3. finalize callback of instance data is not called when error is thrown: This issue describes a bug in the Node.js N-API where the finalize callback set by napi_set_instance_data is not called when an uncaught error is thrown, affecting the lifecycle management of native variables. The expected behavior is for the finalize callback to be invoked regardless of how the process exits, but currently, it only occurs during a normal exit.

   • The comments discuss potential solutions, including landing a pull request and using an uncaught exception handler as a workaround. There is also a mention of another related issue with napi_add_env_cleanup_hook not working in this scenario.
   • Number of comments this week: 6

4. spawn doesn't use PATH when env is set: This issue describes a problem with the spawn function in Node.js on Linux, where it does not correctly use the PATH environment variable when the env option is set, leading to a failure in locating binaries placed in non-default locations. The expected behavior, as per the documentation, is that options.env.PATH should be used if provided, otherwise process.env.PATH should be used, which works correctly on Windows but not on Linux.

   • The comments discuss that the bug is related to libuv rather than Node.js itself, and a pull request would be welcomed. There is a clarification on how dependencies are updated in the Node.js repository, and the issue is initially closed after being reported to libuv. However, it is reopened due to the need for a documentation update, as the current behavior is considered expected but not properly documented.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

5. Unhandled Exception in readline interface: This issue describes a problem with the readline interface in a Node.js project, where an unhandled exception occurs when an error is thrown during the fs.close() call in a custom filesystem. The expected behavior is that the error should be caught by events.once(), but it is not, leading to an unhandled exception error.

   • The comments discuss the need to listen to stream errors rather than readline errors, suggesting that the issue is not a bug but a misunderstanding of error handling. A code snippet is provided as a potential solution, and there is a discussion about whether readline should abstract or forward all input stream errors.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

1. Flaky test-worker-arraybuffer-zerofill with V8 12.2: This issue concerns a flaky test named test-worker-arraybuffer-zerofill associated with V8 version 12.2, which has been failing intermittently, as indicated by a timeout error in the console output. The problem might be due to a real bug or broken timing assumptions/messages getting lost, and it has been suggested to mark the test as flaky and add logs to aid in debugging.
2. Support loading dynamic addon modules (.node files) when embedding the Node.js shared library without needing to link with node.def: This issue addresses the challenge of loading dynamic addon modules (.node files) when embedding the Node.js shared library into a different executable without the need to link with node.def. The proposed solution suggests modifying the delay load hook to utilize an environment variable, potentially named NODE_LIBRARY, to facilitate the loading process, although the security implications of this approach are still uncertain.
3. unable to sign with external OpenSSL engine after usage of crypto.hash: This issue involves a problem with signing using an external OpenSSL engine after utilizing the crypto.hash function in Node.js, specifically affecting versions v21.7.0 and v21.7.1. The error, which consistently reproduces, is linked to changes in the Node.js codebase and results in an unsupported digital envelope routine error, whereas the code functions correctly in earlier versions like v21.6.2.
4. styleText(): isTTY check fails with --test: This issue describes a problem with the styleText() function in Node.js, where the isTTY check fails when the --test flag is used, causing text that should not be stylized to appear with styling. The expected behavior is that the text "No TTY" remains unstyled when running node --test index.mjs, but instead, it is incorrectly stylized, indicating a discrepancy in how the styleText() function handles TTY streams during testing. Since there were fewer than 5 open issues, all of the open issues have been listed above.

2.3 Open Issues

This section lists, groups, and then summarizes issues that were created within the last week in the repository.

  • issues/58286

• Unhandled Exception in Readline Interface: This issue describes a problem where an unhandled exception occurs in the readline interface when using a custom filesystem in Node.js, specifically because the error from the fs.close() call is not caught by events.once() when the file stream is used with readline, whereas it is caught when the file stream is used directly.
  • issues/58289

• Child Process PATH Environment Variable Issue: This issue highlights a problem in the Node.js child_process module on Linux, where the spawn function does not correctly use the PATH environment variable when an env object is set, leading to a failure in locating binaries placed in non-default locations, contrary to the documented behavior that works correctly on Windows.
  • issues/58290

• Proposal for Mocking Object Values in Tests: This issue proposes the addition of a mock.value() function to the Node.js testing framework, allowing developers to mock object values directly in unit tests, similar to how methods, getters, and setters can be mocked, thereby providing a native alternative to using external libraries like Sinon for value mocking.
  • issues/58322

• ESM Syntax Detection Bug: This issue concerns a bug in Node.js v23.11.0 where the ESM syntax detection fails to recognize certain top-level await expressions in JavaScript files with a .js extension, leading to a syntax error unless the code is explicitly treated as a module, which can be circumvented by using workarounds such as adding an export {} statement or changing the file extension to .mjs.
  • issues/58331

• Finalize Callback Not Invoked on Uncaught Error: This issue involves a bug where the finalize callback set by napi_set_instance_data in Node.js is not invoked when an uncaught error causes the process to exit, which prevents proper lifecycle management of native variables, and it consistently occurs on Windows and macOS platforms.
  • issues/58341

• ExperimentalWarning for fsPromises.glob: This issue is about the fsPromises.glob function in Node.js version 24.0.2 still outputting an ExperimentalWarning despite being documented as a stable API, and it is expected to be resolved in the next release following a recent pull request.
  • issues/58343

• Flaky Test on Linux s390x Platform: This issue pertains to a flaky test named test_http2_debug on the Linux s390x platform, where the test fails with an AssertionError related to HTTP2 session handling, and the console output suggests potential exposure of sensitive data when the NODE_DEBUG environment variable is set to 'http2'.
