printStacks null reference error within index.js

[TREVORPINKS]

printStacks throws a null reference error within index.js when stack.getFileName() method returns null.

BEFORE: function printStacks (asyncResource, logger) { const stacks = asyncResource.stacks.filter((stack) => !stack.getFileName().startsWith('node:'))

THE FIX: function printStacks (asyncResource, logger) { const stacks = asyncResource.stacks.filter(stack => stack.getFileName() && !stack.getFileName().startsWith('node:'));

Original output: Null Ref Exception

New output:

FILEHANDLE

(unknown stack trace)

I am still trying to figure out if I can get a better error message here but wanted to report/share in the mean time.

Interesting, yeah this code was changed under the assumption that null would never be a value returned here, but I guess it is. Do you have some code that reproduces this issue?

[TREVORPINKS]

Yes and No.

Here is what I was up to when I came across the issue. I was playing around with another component and I noticed after a simple code snippet my program wasn't returning to the command prompt. So... I added why-is-node-running and got the null reference error. So you can see from this post my output from why-is-node-running?

basically it's code that launches hooks that listen for events and stuff. (FILEHANDLE, DNSCHANNEL and TTYWRAP) had the problems it seems. I don't have hello-world example type code to paste to you. I think for now just add that null check and at least it doesn't cause a fatal error.

I have same issue here, running in node test runner

We should probably test if isConstructor() is false before trying to get a file name.

Consider what happens when you:

import whyIsNodeRunning from 'why-is-node-running';

crypto.subtle
    .generateKey('Ed25519', true, ['sign', 'verify'])
    .then(key => {
        console.log('Generated', key);
    })
    .finally(() => {
        whyIsNodeRunning();
    });

I logged around the problem area.

Generated [Object: null prototype] {
  privateKey: CryptoKey {
    type: 'private',
    extractable: true,
    algorithm: { name: 'Ed25519' },
    usages: [ 'sign' ]
  },
  publicKey: CryptoKey {
    type: 'public',
    extractable: true,
    algorithm: { name: 'Ed25519' },
    usages: [ 'verify' ]
  }
}
