Shelley Vohr ea4b37fe59 src: run same-priority platform tasks in posting order
TaskQueue became a std::priority_queue when worker tasks started to
honor v8::TaskPriority. Its comparator returns false for entry types
without a priority member, and for entries of equal priority, on the
assumption that the heap then keeps insertion order. It does not: three
tasks pushed A, B, C pop as A, C, B, and larger batches come out in
heap order. That affects the per-isolate foreground task queue (tasks
of one priority no longer run in the order they were posted), the
foreground delayed task queue, and the delayed task scheduler of the
worker thread task runner, whose local queue is drained in one batch:
when v8 posts a delayed worker task shortly before the platform shuts
down, the StopTask pushed by Stop() can run before a ScheduleTask that
was pushed earlier, that ScheduleTask then starts a timer on the
scheduler's loop after all timers were supposed to be stopped, and
Shutdown() blocks in uv_thread_join() until the delay (e.g. the 8 s of
the memory reducer) expires.

Give every queued item a sequence number and use it as the tie
breaker, so that tasks of equal priority, and tasks without one, come
out in FIFO order again; higher priorities still come first. PopAll()
now returns the tasks in that order instead of handing out the heap.

Node.js Core Tests

This directory contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.

For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this directory, see the guide on writing tests.

On how to run tests in this directory, see the contributing guide.

For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the autocrlf git config flag set to true.

Test Directories

Directory Runs on CI Purpose
abort Yes Tests that use --abort-on-uncaught-exception and other cases where we want to avoid generating a core file.
addons Yes Tests for addon functionality along with some tests that require an addon.
async-hooks Yes Tests for async_hooks functionality.
benchmark Yes Test minimal functionality of benchmarks.
cctest Yes C++ tests that are run as part of the build process.
code-cache No Tests for a Node.js binary compiled with V8 code cache.
common N/A Common modules shared among many tests.1
doctool Yes Tests for the documentation generator.
es-module Yes Test ESM module loading.
fixtures N/A Test fixtures used in various tests throughout the test suite.
internet No Tests that make real outbound network connections.2
js-native-api Yes Tests for Node.js-agnostic Node-API functionality.
known_issues Yes Tests reproducing known issues within the system.3
message Yes Tests for messages that are output for various conditions
node-api Yes Tests for Node.js-specific Node-API functionality.
parallel Yes Various tests that are able to be run in parallel.
pseudo-tty Yes Tests that require stdin/stdout/stderr to be a TTY.
pummel No Various tests for various modules / system functionality operating under load.
sequential Yes Various tests that must not run in parallel.
testpy N/A Test configuration utility used by various test suites.
tick-processor No Tests for the V8 tick processor integration.4
v8-updates No Tests for V8 performance integration.

  1. Documentation ↩︎

  2. Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections. ↩︎

  3. All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via known_issues.status. ↩︎

  4. The tests are for the logic in lib/internal/main/prof_process.js and lib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic. ↩︎
