This test randomly times out (~120s) on CI due to a race condition between child-process restart (triggered by touching the watched file) and the second inspector-session connection. The old code used an interval-based restart (write every 500ms) and a 'gettingDebuggedPid' flag to pause writes during a session. This still left a race window where getDebuggedPid() would attempt to connect the inspector via HTTP GET /json/list + WebSocket upgrade either before the new child was ready (empty target list) or after the old session was being destroyed, causing the promise to hang. Fix: Replace the interval with a single write that triggers exactly one restart, then wait for the restarted child's 'safe to debug now' stdout line before connecting the second inspector session. This eliminates the race by ensuring the new child process and its inspector session are fully ready before any connection attempt. Removes the now-unused gettingDebuggedPid flag and the pending setTimeout delay that was needed as a backstop for the interval.

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. ↩︎
