test/parallel/test-os-eol.js

+
+const eol = common.isWindows ? '\r\n' : '\n';
+
+assert.strictEqual(eol, os.EOL);


Assertion parameters should be actual, expected so I think these should be the other way around.

tniessen

LGTM with @richardlau's comment addressed.

+common.expectsError(function() {


I know that we didn't reach consensus on this, but I personally prefer arrow functions in our tests to make them a little more readable.

IMHO I'd like to use anonymous function.

Refs: #14496 (comment)

Even though there was no result about that discussion.

@XadillaX we could take this one step further. Move EOL to node_contants.c defined with NODE_DEFINE_CONSTANT. Then the os.EOL property would be just a getter {get: () => constants.EOL} (maybe even deprecate it, now or later).

jasnell · 2017-08-04T15:02:46Z

@ChALkeR ... any way we can get an estimate on any breakage this may cause? (if any)

TimothyGu · 2017-08-04T15:51:21Z

@refack Those constants are all numbers, used as flags to be passed between C++ and JS. I don't see a reason to introduce an inconsistency here.

TimothyGu · 2017-08-04T15:53:04Z

lib/os.js

+  },
+
+  EOL: {
+    configurable: false,


On a second thought, maybe making it configurable would be better? This way people who really need to change it for testing can do so, but requiring them to explicitly state their intentions. I'm okay either way though.

I think @TimothyGu’s comment is a blocker.

(Also, I’m kind of missing the motivation here… people don’t accidentally override os.EOL, do they?)

richardlau · 2017-08-04T16:54:14Z

(Also, I’m kind of missing the motivation here… people don’t accidentally override os.EOL, do they?)

From #14619:

os.EOL is specified as a constant but its value is getting updated

So an alternative is to update the docs.

tniessen · 2017-08-04T17:06:13Z

people don’t accidentally override os.EOL, do they?

@addaleax In my opinion, this should throw when in strict mode:

if(os.EOL = 'foo') {
  console.log('Nope');
}

I am ±0 about making it configurable, but it should be a constant by default.

TimothyGu

Still LGTM, just even more so!

XadillaX · 2017-08-07T03:11:12Z

@addaleax How's the code now?

outdated

addaleax · 2017-08-07T13:07:52Z

I’ve removed my Changes Requested label, but as I mentioned I don’t quite see the point here.

Maybe it’s a miscommunication about what “constant” means in this context; if documentation for JS code says that foo.bar is a constant, I personally would expect that to mean that the value is not changed by whatever code provides that value, i.e. in this specific case that Node doesn’t change that value while a process is running.

@jasnell did a grep on Gzemnid dump from 2017-02-23, no assignment to EOL found.
@XadillaX added a test case for configurability in 3e31ac4, feel free to push out or edit.

LGTM with good CI and CITGM run.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-0. In general I'm not sure it's a good idea to make properties like this non-configurable, because it removes an escape hatch. I can imagine a hypothetical test helper to verify an that application works on multiple platforms, which could rely on mutating os.EOL. We don't have any evidence that the current behavior has caused problems in practice, so changing it seems like it's a solution without a problem.

If we're convinced that we want to make the property non-writable to avoid accidental mutation, could we keep the property configurable? That way it would still be possible to overwrite the property as an escape hatch, but users would be unlikely to mutate it by mistake.

edit: I just saw that it is configurable the current version of the PR. The title of the PR still says it's non-configurable.

LGTM with { configurable: true }

I count 4 ✔️s from CTC members, so IMHO this is ready to land (pending CitGM)

mcollina · 2017-08-16T09:44:10Z

before landing, can this get a rebase? We are getting some failures for body-parser that are already fixed on master.

mcollina

LGTM if CITGM is ok

XadillaX · 2017-08-17T03:54:02Z

@mcollina rebased.

Reminder to whoever lands this: the commit message should be updated to correct "non-configurable" to "configurable".

@not-an-aardvark Thanks and I've rebased the message.

mcollina · 2017-08-17T10:36:38Z

I think CITGM is green, this can be landed.

aqrln · 2017-08-17T12:54:42Z

@XadillaX regarding the commit message, I think the patch "Fixes:", not just "Refs:" the issue, doesn't it?

XadillaX · 2017-08-21T02:51:18Z

@aqrln Right, I think who to land this may help me to modify the commit message.
