errors, child_process: use more internal/errors codes #14998

maclover7 · 2017-08-24T01:33:22Z

Converts more (I believe this is all that is remaining?) of child_process to new-errors-land. Most of this diff is straight copy and replace, so I don't think it's too intimidating. There are a few TODOs left in this PR on purpose that require some discussion, so I would appreciate any feedback on those.

This one feels super odd to me... will think about this a bit more.

Felt odd to me too, and still mulling over how to properly present this state to users 😞

Shouldn't this be a ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE though? Judging from the code below I would say it's options that has the wrong type?

+                               options.stdio);


I think a more specific error is better for this.
e.g. new errors.Error('ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_IPC_REQUIRED') with the original error message in tact.

I would make this a RangeError with a specific (slightly improved) error message... e.g.

new errors.RangeError('ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDOUT_MAXBUFFER') // 'stdout maxBuffer length exceeded'

Would have to create ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDERR_MAXBUFFER in addition to ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDOUT_MAXBUFFER, is this ok?

Or create a single ERR_CHILD_PROCESS_STDIO_MAXBUFFER that takes a single argument specifying 'stdout' or 'stderr'

It's now possible to combine these into ...

common.expectsError(() => fork(...), { code: 'ERR_INVALID_OPT_VALUE', type: TypeError });

etc

This is definitely heading in the right direction! Thank you so very much! I've left a few comments and will do another thorough review a bit later

IIUC the error message would be The value "['file', [], '']" is invalid for option "args" if we do execFile('file', [], ''), but then those are all the arguments, not args (which is [] in this case)

Nit - to keep it consistent with the other types it should use %s maxBuffer length exceeded. That is not blocking though.

This is used in one place, it doesn't feel like %s is %s is really that helpful. It should probably just say something like Forked processes must have an IPC channel, missing value 'ipc' in %s.

(This accepts an array so the %s would be [value, value, value].)
