s/Function/function/? Most of the ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPEs in the code base are using lowercased types.

+        throw new errors.TypeError('ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE', 'listener',
+                                   'Function');


Our docs mainly use Function but it is going to print type Function and this is somewhat inconsistent out of my perspective. I think we should stick to the lower cased version.

lib/events.js

-      if (typeof listener !== 'function')
-        throw new TypeError('"listener" argument must be a function');
+      if (typeof listener !== 'function') {
+        const errors = lazyErrors();


Do you know where the circular reference is coming from? If so - is there any possibility in untying that?
I personally also prefer using a simple if a lot over the function version. It is still a minor overhead of using the function while there is no faster check than a simple if to undefined.

It's not a circular reference that is the concern. The events module is one of the very first modules loaded in core (because it is needed by process) and as such needs to be loaded before anything else is loaded.

BridgeAR · 2017-09-26T05:11:02Z

lib/events.js

-      throw new TypeError('"defaultMaxListeners" must be a positive number');
+    if (typeof arg !== 'number' || arg < 0 || arg !== arg) {
+      const errors = lazyErrors();
+      throw new errors.TypeError('ERR_EVENTS_MAX_LISTENERS_TYPE');


I do not really see the point for this new error type. I it extremely specific and the type name is somewhat confusing for me. I would expect it to describe having e.g. to many listeners. Using a more generic one that is similar to the old error message seems more appropriate to me.

The challenge is that none of the existing error codes quite fit this pattern (e.g. it's a setter and not an argument or an option).

doc/api/errors.md

+an invalid type.

+<a id="ERR_EVENTS_UNHANDLED_ERROR"></a>
+### ERR_EVENTS_UNHANDLED_ERROR


Do we have to make this specific to the events? I would rather have this in case any unhandled error is thrown / emitted what ever.

This is really the only place that we raise such errors that I can find.

That is correct for the current situation but for me it is more about trying to be open for future uses.

BridgeAR · 2017-09-26T05:13:57Z

lib/internal/errors.js

+E('ERR_EVENTS_UNHANDLED_ERROR',
+  (err) => {
+    const msg = 'Unhandled "error" event.';
+    if (!err) return msg;


Using if (err !== undefined) would be better as there might be other falsy values out there that someone throws.

BridgeAR · 2017-09-26T05:14:54Z

+    {
+      code: 'ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE',
+      type: TypeError,
+      message: 'The "n" argument must be of type positive number'


This is a really confusing error message. I think we have a more appropriate error message for things like that.

BridgeAR

The obsolete error code should be removed. LGTM otherwise (I do not feel that strongly about the more generic name even if I would still prefer it without "EVENTS").

oh right... heh, forgot about that ;-)

@BridgeAR .. updated.
@nodejs/tsc PTAL

mhdawson

This change looks good, but I think we need to add a test for the new error in test/parallel/test-internal-errors.js

mcollina · 2017-10-06T20:47:38Z

lib/events.js

+  if (errors === undefined)
+    errors = require('internal/errors');
+  return errors;
+}


Why do we need to lazily load this? Is this the pattern used everywhere? Should we?

It is because events.js is loaded before all the other modules in the dependency tree (because of bootstrapping process. Lazy loading errors prevents errors from being loaded before events is loaded.

I would still rather inline this instead of using the function form but it should not be a blocker.

mcollina

LGTM

mcollina · 2017-10-10T10:28:14Z

@BridgeAR are you ok with the change? Can we land?

joyeecheung · 2017-10-10T11:57:09Z

Would be better if we can specify the range with ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE, that can be done later in another PR.

test/parallel/test-event-emitter-errors.js

+  {
+    code: 'ERR_UNHANDLED_ERROR',

The message looks somewhat weird here because of the dot before the brackets.
I think it would be fine to either remove the dot or to move it to the end of the string.
