I just had a bad surprise on a production server and thought I'd share it. I have a complex node process that can open a REPL over a unix socket for debugging purposes. If I enter invalid code:
- If the code is executed immediately, it reports an error in the REPL and continues. - However, if the code is in a different tick (e.g. setTimeout/setInterval), it crashes the whole process. Now, I could add a process.uncaughtException, but I'd rather let the process crash if a "real" error happen somewhere else. It's not necessarily a node problem, but it makes the REPL a very dangerous tool to me. Is there a safer way to inspect a running process ? Btw, here's a simple example: http://pastebin.com/ad93YHdk -- Laurent -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
