Both tests read the destination file with no ordering guarantee against the fs.write() that Utf8Stream still has in flight, so under load the read can observe an empty file. In test-fastutf8stream-destroy the read is issued right after destroy(). In test-fastutf8stream-reopen it is ordered on 'drain', documented as emitted when the buffer has drained enough to allow continued writing, which says nothing about the bytes being observable in the file. The reopen path also emits a 'drain' of its own from a nextTick before the write has landed. Order both reads on 'write' instead, documented as emitted when a write operation has completed and emitted from #release() once the underlying write returned. In sync mode it is emitted from within write(), so the listener is attached before the write call. No data is lost by Utf8Stream here: re-reading the file after a failed assertion shows the expected content. This corrects an expectation of the tests, not the runtime.

Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections. ↩︎
-
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. ↩︎ -
The tests are for the logic in
lib/internal/main/prof_process.jsandlib/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. ↩︎
