I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases:

The current version of this repository is v23.10.0

1.2 Version Information:

Released on March 13, 2025, this version introduces the --experimental-config-file feature, allowing developers to use JSON configuration files to simplify flag management for the test runner and related features, enhancing developer experience. Additionally, it includes updates to root certificates, new TLS and V8 methods, improved error handling, and various tooling and documentation 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. os.tmpdir can return an invalid path on Windows: This issue reports that the os.tmpdir() function on Windows can return an invalid path (undefined\temp) when environment variables like TEMP, TMP, or SystemRoot are missing, particularly in sandboxed environments. The expected behavior is for os.tmpdir() to return a valid temporary directory path using platform-specific APIs or to raise an error if it cannot determine a proper path.

   • The comments show a contributor expressing interest in fixing the issue, confirming the root cause, and preparing a fix. The issue author encourages opening a draft PR directly for review, clarifies assignment permissions, and the contributor subsequently opens a PR for review, with others discussing the assignment process briefly.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

2. Regression Node 24.0.0+: JSON.parse throws error on JSON containing U+2028 (line separator)/ U+2029 (paragraph separator): This issue reports a regression in Node.js version 24.0.0 and later where JSON.parse() throws a SyntaxError when parsing JSON strings containing the Unicode characters U+2028 (line separator) or U+2029 (paragraph separator), which previously worked in Node 23.x. The problem affects not only the REPL but also real Node.js scripts and applications, particularly breaking workflows that rely on reading JSON Lines (jsonl) files with these characters, due to changes in the readline module's handling of line breaks.

   • The discussion clarifies that the error is not limited to the REPL but occurs in general JSON parsing, identifies a related pull request as the cause, and provides reproduction examples. Commenters highlight the impact on jsonlines processing pipelines, explain how JSON.stringify does not escape these characters by default, and suggest that readline might need an option to handle U+2028 and U+2029 differently to maintain compatibility with existing workflows.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

3. NodeJS segfaults when trying to debug this code: This issue reports that Node.js version 24.10.0 segfaults consistently when attempting to debug a specific JavaScript loop construct on a Linux platform, whereas the same code does not crash when debugged in a Chromium browser. The problem appears related to internal V8 debugging mechanisms, with a backtrace indicating a failure in the debug scope iterator, and similar behavior has been confirmed on Windows with newer Node.js versions but not older ones.

   • The comments confirm the crash occurs on multiple platforms and Node.js versions, link the issue to a known but unpatched V8 bug, include a user volunteering to work on the fix and being welcomed, and another user stepping back due to the complexity of native debugging internals.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

4. Inconsistent behavior across platforms when importing node:http after defining Object.prototype['0']: This issue reports inconsistent behavior observed when importing the node:http module after defining a setter on Object.prototype['0'], with different outputs on Linux and Windows platforms. The user expects the code to produce the same output on both operating systems, but while Linux logs multiple outputs, Windows shows none when using ES module import syntax, whereas using require produces no output on either platform.

   • The comments clarify that the difference is not due to the operating system but rather the asynchronous nature of terminal output in Node.js when using ES module imports, which triggers the custom setter on Object.prototype['0']. It is suggested that this is not a bug but a consequence of Node.js internals lacking consistent protection against modifications of built-in objects, and fixing it would require using primordials in the core HTTP module code.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

5. fs: recursive option is incompatible with encoding: This issue reports a problem where the recursive option in the filesystem readdir functions is incompatible with specifying an encoding, resulting in a TypeError because the path argument receives a Buffer instead of a string. The user highlights that both options are documented but it is not mentioned that they cannot be combined, causing confusion and errors when used together.

   • The comments reference related issues that may share the same underlying cause, noting that while they are connected, they exhibit different effects and should remain open separately unless they are direct duplicates.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

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 GC-related tests with V8 12.2: This issue addresses flaky garbage collection-related tests that have become unreliable with the update to V8 version 12.2, specifically mentioning tests like test-shadow-realm-gc-module, test-shadow-realm-gc, and test-net-write-fully-async-hex-string. The proposed approach is to skip these tests temporarily due to their instability caused by changes in V8's garbage collection strategy, with plans to find a more robust testing method in the future.
2. Flaky test-worker-arraybuffer-zerofill with V8 12.2: This issue concerns the flaky behavior of the test-worker-arraybuffer-zerofill test when running with V8 version 12.2, where the test intermittently fails due to a timeout after approximately 300 seconds. The problem may stem from either a genuine bug or broken timing assumptions causing lost messages, and the current approach is to mark the test as flaky while adding additional logging to aid in debugging.
3. 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 Node.js addon modules (.node files) on Windows when Node.js is embedded as a shared library, specifically aiming to eliminate the need for executables to link with the node.def file to reexport necessary symbols. The proposed solution involves modifying the delay load hook to optionally use an environment variable to locate the Node.js shared library module handle, thereby enabling addon modules to load correctly without requiring explicit linking, though potential security concerns remain to be evaluated.
4. Please make Node.js embeddable (e.g. libnode): This issue requests the creation of an embeddable version of Node.js, such as a libnode library, to allow projects to integrate the Node.js runtime and standard library within other host environments, particularly for use cases like embedding Node.js in Rust-based applications. The current lack of an official embeddable Node.js runtime forces developers to rely on incomplete alternatives like Deno or attempt complex custom solutions, limiting the reuse of existing Node.js tooling and dependencies in various projects.
5. unable to sign with external OpenSSL engine after usage of crypto.hash: This issue describes a problem where signing data with an external OpenSSL engine (specifically the gost-engine) fails after using the crypto.createHash method in Node.js version 21.7.1 on a Linux Debian system. The error occurs consistently and produces an "unsupported" digital envelope routines error, which did not happen in earlier versions like 21.6.2, suggesting a regression introduced by recent changes in the Node.js crypto subsystem.

2.3 Open Issues

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

Issues Opened This Week: 20

Summarized Issues:

• Filesystem permission and option incompatibilities: The fs.copyFile function fails with an EPERM error when copying read-only files to CIFS-mounted volumes due to unsupported permission preservation by the underlying system call. Additionally, the fs module's recursive option is incompatible with the encoding option in directory reading methods, causing a TypeError because of unexpected Buffer path arguments.
• issues/60557, issues/60564

• Compilation and platform-specific behavior issues: Compilation fails on GCC 15 due to an obsolete attribute argument caused by V8 and highway library changes, and inconsistent behavior occurs between Linux and Windows when importing node:http after modifying Object.prototype, with Linux triggering setters multiple times but Windows producing no output.
• issues/60566, issues/60567

• TLS and security vulnerabilities: Setting the @SECLEVEL=0 cipher option does not enable TLSv1 as expected, resulting in protocol errors due to improper version adjustments. The tar package in the Node.js Docker image 24.11.0 has a medium-severity vulnerability related to a race condition causing uninitialized memory exposure, though it might be a false positive.
• issues/60569, issues/60576

• Crashes and environment-specific failures: Node.js 24.10.0 crashes with a segmentation fault on Linux when debugging a specific JavaScript loop, while the same code runs fine in browsers. Node.js 22.21.1 hangs and consumes all memory running a WebAssembly module on Linux WSL2, whereas Node.js 24 runs it correctly.
• issues/60580, issues/60584

• Windows environment and process argument issues: On Windows, os.tmpdir() can return invalid paths when environment variables are missing, and process.execArgv does not include --watch or --watch-path flags as expected, causing discrepancies in temporary directory resolution and command-line argument handling.
• issues/60582, issues/60594

• JSON parsing regression: A regression in Node.js 24.0.0+ causes JSON.parse() to throw SyntaxError when parsing JSON strings containing Unicode line or paragraph separators, breaking workflows that previously worked in Node 23.x with unescaped occurrences of these characters.
• issues/60606

• Feature inquiries and API deprecations: There is ongoing inquiry about Single Executable Packaging (SAE) support for native addons, and the V8 engine is deprecating v8::PropertyCallbackInfo<T>::This() in favor of HolderV2() for interceptor callbacks.
• issues/60611, issues/60616

• HTTP server shutdown improvements: A proposal suggests adding a configurable "drain period" to http.Server.close() to prevent immediate closure of idle keep-alive connections, allowing graceful handling of late requests and avoiding client-side TCP errors caused by premature resets.
• issues/60617

• SQLite extension enhancements: Enabling the new SQLite 3.51.0 amalgamation extensions, Percentile and Carray, via compile-time flags is proposed to improve native SQL functionality and enhance Node.js-SQLite bindings.
• issues/60618

• REPL and input handling bugs: The Node.js REPL and readline interface scramble characters when inserting or pasting text at non-end cursor positions, especially with Japanese IME input, causing incorrect character order and placement.
• issues/60624

• Worker threads CPU affinity issue: On Raspberry Pi, Node.js worker threads do not distribute across all isolated CPUs as expected, instead confining all threads to a single isolated CPU despite kernel and taskset configurations.
• issues/60627

• Dependabot configuration errors: The .github/dependabot.yml file is invalid because open-pull-requests-limit properties are incorrectly set as strings instead of integers, causing parsing errors that must be corrected.
• issues/60637

• Flaky test due to out-of-range error: The parallel/test-perf-hooks-timerify-histogram-sync test intermittently fails with a RangeError [ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE] caused by an out-of-range histogram value, identified after splitting from a previously flaky monolithic test.
• issues/60638

• Experimental flag default value issue: The --experimental-strip-types flag incorrectly defaults to true regardless of the --without-amaro configure flag, causing test failures especially with workers; it should default to false when compiled without amaro.
• issues/60640

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: 9

Summarized Issues:

• Build and Compilation Issues on Different Platforms: Installing certain packages like "@richmonkeys/aes-256-gcm" or "node-aes-gcm" causes the ffi-napi module to fail building on Windows 11, resulting in npm errors related to node-gyp and MSBuild. Additionally, missing Linux system dependencies such as python3, g++, and make cause build errors, necessitating updates to local setup instructions to assist new contributors.
• [issues/60545, issues/60612, issues/60613]

• File System and Deletion Errors: On macOS with Node.js v22.21.0, deleting directories containing .bin folders using rmSync or removeSync fails with a TypeError about argument types, breaking deletion operations. This issue is suspected to be related to an interaction with the nexe package rather than Node.js core itself.
• [issues/60559]

• Documentation Errors and Clarifications: The Node.js CLI documentation contains an incorrect hyperlink that points to the wrong section for environment variables, and the documentation incorrectly states the availability of the node:sqlite module in version 22.5.0, causing confusion about its experimental status in earlier versions.
• [issues/60562, issues/60601]

• V8 API Deprecation and Compatibility: The deprecation of V8's aligned pointer APIs caused Canary builds to fail, highlighting the need to update Node.js code to use new APIs that accept an EmbedderDataTypeTag parameter available in the current V8 version on the main branch.
• [issues/60589]

• Environment Variable Loading Bug: In Node.js v25.1.0, using multiple --env-file options together with the --watch flag no longer correctly loads environment variables from all specified files, resulting in undefined values instead of the expected merged environment variables.
• [issues/60599]

• Encoding and Shell Interpolation Issue: The dollar sign ('$') is incorrectly removed or causes the encoded string to be empty when using encodeURIComponent in Node.js v22, which was later identified as a shell interpolation problem rather than a Node.js bug.
• [issues/60608]
