A replacement for process.exit that ensures stdio are fully drained before exiting.
To make a long story short, if process.exit
is called on Windows, script output is often truncated when pipe-redirecting stdout
or stderr
. This module attempts to work around this issue by waiting until those streams have been completely drained before actually calling process.exit
.
See Node.js issue #3584 for further reference.
Tested in OS X 10.8, Windows 7 on Node.js 0.8.25 and 0.10.18.
Based on some code by @vladikoff.
Install the module with: npm install exit
var exit = require('exit');
// These lines should appear in the output, EVEN ON WINDOWS.
console.log("omg");
console.error("yay");
// process.exit(5);
exit(5);
// These lines shouldn't appear in the output.
console.log("wtf");
console.error("bro");
In Windows, clone the repo and cd to the test\fixtures
directory. The only difference between log.js and log-broken.js is that the former uses exit
while the latter calls process.exit
directly.
This test was done using cmd.exe, but you can see the same results using | grep "std"
in either PowerShell or git-bash.
C:\node-exit\test\fixtures>node log.js 0 10 stdout stderr 2>&1 | find "std"
stdout 0
stderr 0
stdout 1
stderr 1
stdout 2
stderr 2
stdout 3

C:\node-exit\test\fixtures>node log-broken.js 0 10 stdout stderr 2>&1 | find "std"

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
