So instead of:
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
You will now see:
path/to/foo.js:1
throw new Error('bar');
^
This is a sub-set of isaacs patch here:
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/3235
The difference is that this patch purely adresses the exception output,
but does not try to make any behavior changes / improvements.
This patch now reports the proper throw call site for exceptions
triggered within process.nextTick. So instead of this:
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
You will now see:
mydir/myscript.js:15
throw new Error('My Error');
^
From my testing this patch causes no performance regressions, but does
greatly simplify processing the nextTickQueue.
V8 3.4.12.1 changed exception log format.
3.14.10:
node.js:189
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
3.4.12.1:
node.js:189
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
The caret was moved.
test/simple/test-url.js:31:(0110) Line too long (82 characters).
test/simple/test-url.js:39:(0110) Line too long (85 characters).
test/simple/test-url.js:40:(0110) Line too long (92 characters).
Mostly just upgraded tools/test.py to the latest one that's in V8. But also
fixing the before and after hooks to preserve the test/tmp directory so that
running tests manually usually works.
There are a few kinds of errors that are very confusing.
1. Errors raised in nextTick
2. Errors emitted on the "error" event
3. RangeErrors that crash the program (or anything without a stack trace)
Long traces will make make these better, of course. In the meantime, this
adds a few handy signposts (in the form of better error reporting and
comments on the otherwise inscrutable code printed to the terminal) that can
help new users find the cause, or at least, ask for help more effectively.
This patch removes require.async from nodejs.
1. It complicated the code unnecessarily.
2. Everyone uses sync require anyway.
3. It's got a lot of weird edge cases when mixed with sync require.
4. It is many months behind the commonjs spec anyhow.
