lib: http server, friendly error messages #22995

sagitsofan · 2018-09-21T13:29:13Z

lib: improved error message description for the http server binding errors.

currently changed only in setupListenHandle function, but needs to be change all over.

Added new uvExceptionWithHostPort function (+export) in lib/internal/error.js that extracts the error message defined by libuv (using the error code) and returns an error object with the full error description.

example:
old error message: listen EADDRINUSE
new error message: listen EADDRINUSE: Address already in use

adjust tests to the new error.

Issue: #22936

Checklist

make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
tests and/or benchmarks are included
commit message follows commit guidelines

cc @nodejs/tsc This is semver-major because it touches errors that are not in our ERR_CODE system and are potentially parsed by users.

It touches only in the error description and not in the error code which is stays the same, users are parsing the codes and not the error message.

Trott · 2018-10-05T18:50:09Z

/ping @nodejs/chakracore Is this compatible with ChakraCore or will this be something you'll need to patch over in node-chakracore if it lands in node?

Trott · 2018-10-05T18:52:26Z

users are parsing the codes and not the string.

Unfortunately, parsing of error message strings has been widespread in the ecosystem because there was no other alternative for a long time.

As far as I can tell, these errors already do have a code property, so we shouldn’t have to consider thise semver-major.

If the errors already have a code, then changes do not have to be semver-major

Indeed errors have a code property, so users needs to parsed only the code and not the error message.
This PR changed only the description message that is returning to user.

Current error properties:

  code
  errno
  syscall
  address
  port

@addaleax Ah. I didn't see the usual tell-tale [ERR_CODE_THING] in the message string, but yes, indeed, there is a code property.

Yes, but these are libuv error codes, not our supposed-to-be-permanent error codes, so less justification to not go semver-major. That said we can try a CITGM and see, worse case secnario this does break and we can always revert.

addaleax · 2018-10-05T23:32:03Z

Yes, but these are libuv error codes, not our supposed-to-be-permanent error codes, so less justification to not go semver-major.

For the most part, libuv forwards errors returned from the OS, which are typically spec’d and therefore usually provide more long-term stability than our errors. Plus, changing an error code in libuv would definitely be semver-major on their side, so it would also land in a semver-major change in Node.js.

That said we can try a CITGM and see, worse case secnario this does break and we can always revert.

Yup – CITGM: https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js-citgm/job/citgm-smoker/1570/

LGTM as semver-major.

@sagitsofan I don’t know why, but for some reason, there’s over 50 commits listed in this PR – could you rebase this against master?

[Super-short how-to: git fetch [email protected]:nodejs/node.git +refs/heads/master && git rebase FETCH_HEAD, possibly followed by resolving conflicts + git rebase --continue (possibly repeated), then git push --force-with-lease]

The internal `assert` modules `errorCache` property is exposed only for testing. The one test that used it is rewritten here to not use it. This has the following advantages: * The test now makes sure that there is an empty cache in a more robust way. Instead of relying on the internal implementation of `errorCache`, it simply spawns a separate process. * One less test using the `--expose-internals` flag.
