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.
- Flaky
test-worker-arraybuffer-zerofillwith V8 12.2: This issue concerns a flaky test namedtest-worker-arraybuffer-zerofillassociated 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 for better debugging. - Support loading dynamic addon modules (
.nodefiles) when embedding the Node.js shared library without needing to link withnode.def: This issue addresses the challenge of loading dynamic addon modules, specifically.nodefiles, when embedding the Node.js shared library into a different executable without the need to link withnode.def. The proposed solution suggests modifying the delay load hook to utilize an environment variable, potentially namedNODE_LIBRARY, to facilitate module loading, although the security implications of this approach are still uncertain. - 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.hashfunction 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 version v21.6.2 and earlier. - Leftovers after test-child-process-exec-abortcontroller-promisified: This issue pertains to a problem with the test
test-child-process-exec-abortcontroller-promisified, which does not clean up correctly, resulting in two running Node.js processes remaining afterward. The problem seems to be related to the last two tests whereAbortSignal.abort(err)is executed before callingexecPromisified, causing the processes to remain in a suspended state on Windows systems. Since there were fewer than 5 open issues, all of the open issues have been listed above.
