Bug, F.worker not working on 3.2.4

[namnguyen279]

It seem that F.worker does not execute workers even one with a simple console.log on current 3.2.4

Hi @traubo279, F.worker() returns executes only one instance of worker and it returns child_process object. If you want to execute multiple same workers then you need to use WORKER2().

Hi @petersirka, in my case, both F.worker and F.worker2 do return the child_process object but don't execute anything inside the source worker file on version 3.2.4, i tried reinstall from npm and it doesnt work. Finally i reversed to 3.1.0 and it work. Node version tested on 8.9.1 and 11.5.0.

Can you send me two examples with v3.2.4 and v3.1.0? I'll test it.

Here is my code in folder definitions/cron.js

function repeat () {
    let cc = F.worker("a", "worker")
    console.log("worker should be executed");
}
setInterval(repeat, 5000);
F.once('load', repeat);

and a simple in folder workers/a.js with console.log('message from worker') Output on 3.1.0:

Output on 3.2.4:

Hi. I have changed behaviour for workers. Each worker has been executed in silent mode. But I have updated core of Total.js:

• I have added a new config item called allow_workers_silent : false
• default value is false as you expect (same like in v3.1.0 version)
• I have published a new beta version $ npm install total.js@beta

I'm not sure if this new behaviour is OK but it's better.

Hi @petersirka, it seem to work fine if allow_workers_silent is not exist or missing from the config file. Manually set it to false will result the same as set it to true in the config file.

Hi @traubo279 , by default is false ... I have tested it and it works correctly. For F.worker2() is set to true (this can't be changed) because the reason is pipe between app and child process and worker2 executes a callback with the response from the stdout stream.

@petersirka, yes i know it working on default, but when i have"allow_workers_silent : false" in config, it's the same as "allow_workers_silent : true", which is may be miss leading to some people .. ;)

[petersirka]

True, I have fixed it. Thank you. New beta will be released next week.
