Description of change

A previous fix for a maxBuffer bug resulted in a change to the
argument type for the data event on child.stdin and child.stdout
when using child_process.exec().

This fixes the maxBuffer bug in a way that does not have that side
effect.

Fixes: #7342
Refs: #1901

Alternative to #7381 (which changes the argument type and is arguably semver-major for that reason--being affected by it requires relying on undocumented behavior and using exec() in ways that are better suited to fork() or spawn() which are unaffected by either fix).

lib/child_process.js

Can you at least line these two lines up with chunk? Same for the other instance of this below.

Looks like the common.mustCall(..., 2) will have to be changed to ~~just common.mustCall()~~ an "at least twice" check or even better, ensure that each separate callback is called at least once, for the stdout-stderr-data test. Windows seems to be less reliable in its chunking?

Trott · 2016-06-25T03:52:15Z

@mscdex Whoops, yeah, fixed, I hope, let's try again...

Can you drop the negation and flip the clauses?

This reverts commit c9a5990.

A previous fix for a `maxBuffer` bug resulted in a change to the argument type for the `data` event on `child.stdin` and `child.stdout` when using `child_process.exec()`. This fixes the `maxBuffer` bug in a way that does not have that side effect. Fixes: nodejs#7342 Refs: nodejs#1901

Trott · 2016-06-27T23:30:17Z

That CI is green. Woot.

@bnoordhuis I put quotation marks around process.execPath but I'm pretty sure other characters that could conceivably be in the path may adversely affect at least some platforms (probably at least some of $, backticks, different types of quotation marks and slashes, question marks, asterisk...). Maybe that's OK because those are sufficiently infrequent while spaces are pretty common?

bnoordhuis · 2016-06-28T07:45:01Z

LGTM

Maybe that's OK because those are sufficiently infrequent while spaces are pretty common?

I agree.

@Trott lts?

Trott · 2016-07-12T03:30:02Z

@thealphanerd Yes if #6764 lands on LTS, otherwise no.

MylesBorins · 2016-07-12T16:44:44Z

I've gone ahead and landed this as #6764 landed. Do you think we would be better without either of these changes? Is there any chance of a regression?
