lib/internal/process/worker_thread_only.js

+function unavailable(name) {
+  return function unavailableInWorker() {
+    throw new ERR_WORKER_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION(name);
+  };


Just a suggestion, but maybe add a disabled: true property on the function, so that feature detection remains about as easy as it is right now?

I'll add that.

Follow up question. Isn't using isMainThread the preferable way to detect if you're running in a worker though?

Follow up question. Isn't using isMainThread the preferable way to detect if you're running in a worker though?

@cjihrig Yes, I’d say so.

Also, fyi, we may want to provide a way in our embedder API to create a Worker-like environment, i.e. with access to per-process data disabled or restricted like we do for Workers.

@refack I stuck with unavailable() just because it's a bit shorter and required fewer uses to be wrapped across multiple lines.

lib/internal/process/worker_thread_only.js

+function unavailable(name) {
+  return function unavailableInWorker() {
+    throw new ERR_WORKER_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION(name);
+  };

lib/internal/bootstrap/node.js

+      mainThreadSetup.setupChildProcessIpcChannel();
+    } else {
+      process.channel = null;
+      process.connected = false;


I am not sure if these values make sense in the context of workers...what if the process (and the main thread) was spawned with child_process? Maybe we could just throw errors in getters for all these if they just do not make sense (or are too difficult to implement properly) for workers? As far as I can tell, if a user needs to be prepare for the cases where these properties are not available, they are probably just being prepared for the workers, and could use something like require('module').builtinModules.includes('worker_threads') && require('worker_threads').isMainThread as guards instead. Throwing in the getters should also help with debugging issues like #25448 .

Is this semver major? If they didn't exist, could someone be null-checking the properties to see if they can be called? (I doubt anyone is, but...)

addaleax · 2019-01-23T23:05:27Z

@Fishrock123 Workers are still experimental so I think we’re good here

I guess this is technically ready?

cjihrig · 2019-01-29T00:20:01Z

There are some tests to fix here first.

cjihrig · 2019-01-29T00:20:56Z

Oh, and I've also been thinking about if I really want to take the approach in this PR or not.

I’m adding the backport-requested-v11.x label, but other PRs probably just need to be backported first.
