I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases:

The current version of this repository is v23.10.0

1.2 Version Information:

On March 13, 2025, this Node.js release introduced the --experimental-config-file feature, allowing developers to use JSON configuration files to simplify flag management for test runners and other experimental features, enhancing developer experience. Additionally, the update included improvements such as updated root certificates, new TLS and V8 methods, enhanced error handling, and various documentation and tooling refinements.

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. Fix - populate separate cache for require(esm) is a breaking change: This issue addresses a breaking change introduced in version 24.8.0 where the logic for populating a separate cache for require(esm) modules has been altered, causing tools like webpack to fail in correctly identifying and caching ES modules versus CommonJS modules. The reporter argues that this change should have been reserved for a major release due to its impact on existing workflows and requests an API or property to clearly indicate the module format to restore compatibility.

   • The comments discuss the problem of distinguishing ES modules from CommonJS in the cache, with suggestions to expose a module.format property to resolve the ambiguity. It is acknowledged that while the change breaks existing assumptions, adding new properties is typically a semver-minor update, and efforts are underway to reduce impact by delaying cache population and adding clearer module format indicators.
   • Number of comments this week: 7

2. Failing inspector tests in 20.x branch: This issue reports that several inspector-related tests consistently fail in the 20.x branch of the project, specifically version 20.19.5 running on a Debian Linux platform. The failures began after a particular commit, and the user suspects that changes involving shared libraries and the updated llhttp version 9.3.0 might be contributing factors.

   • The discussion involves verifying the analysis of the test failures, requests for example failure logs, sharing a build log link to identify errors, and speculation that the introduction of shared libraries and the updated llhttp version could be causing the test failures.
   • Number of comments this week: 5

3. Support script-relative paths in allow-fs-read / allow-fs-write: This issue proposes enhancing the allow-fs-read and allow-fs-write flags to support script-relative paths, allowing permissions to be specified relative to the script’s directory rather than the current working directory. This feature aims to improve usability when running scripts with shebang lines that include hardening flags, by introducing a special prefix (e.g., $ENTRYDIR) to distinguish script-relative paths and avoid breaking existing usage patterns.

   • The comments discuss the alternative approach of programmatically dropping permissions after script startup, highlighting potential security concerns such as imported packages accessing files before permissions are reduced and issues with open files during permission removal; it is clarified that this alternative is not part of the main proposal and might warrant a separate issue for further discussion.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

4. DOMException message not printed in node test runner: This issue reports that when a DOMException is thrown in a Node.js test using the node:test runner, the error message is not printed as expected; instead, an empty object is shown. The user expects the output to display the error message similarly to how a standard Error object would be shown, but this does not happen in version 22.18.0 on Linux.

   • The comments discuss whether the issue should remain open and provide a workaround by assigning DOMException to Error globally. It is also noted that DOMException objects fail error type checks in version 22.x, and although a fix exists in the main branch, it has not yet been backported to the affected version.
   • Number of comments this week: 2

5. Node 24.8.0 has a regression in VM: This issue reports a regression in Node.js version 24.8.0 related to the VM module, where a previously working code now throws an error stating "Module status must be unlinked." The problem is reproducible consistently and appears to have been introduced by a recent pull request, causing code that worked in version 24.7.0 to fail during module instantiation and evaluation.

   • The comments include a reproducible test case demonstrating the failure in 24.8.0 but not in 24.7.0, with discussion about the use of an unofficial API method and uncertainty about whether the observed behavior is intended or a bug.
   • 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 (GC)-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 discussion suggests temporarily skipping these tests due to their instability caused by changes in V8's GC strategy, while acknowledging that current methods to verify collectability may not fully capture native memory leaks, and proposes tracking the problem for a more robust solution 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 the embedding executable 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 relying on the executable's linkage, though potential security concerns with this approach 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, like Rust-based applications. The current lack of an official embeddable Node.js runtime forces developers to rely on incomplete alternatives, and this feature would enable better reuse of existing tooling and dependencies without requiring significant rewrites.
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 user reports that while the signature calculation works correctly before invoking crypto.createHash, it subsequently triggers an "unsupported" error related to digital envelope routines, indicating a regression introduced in Node.js versions 21.7.0 and 21.7.1.

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: 11

Summarized Issues:
