From aa5bc773e1e1595545aa0e9a91a6457f71958b9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=F0=9F=91=A8=F0=9F=8F=BC=E2=80=8D=F0=9F=92=BB=20Romain=20M?= =?UTF-8?q?arcadier-Muller?= Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2019 10:07:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(runtime): runtime crashes with EAGAIN trying to read from STDIN When using node >= 13.2, attempts to synchronously read from STDIN often result in `EAGAIN` being raised. This is due to the STDIN file descriptor being opened with `O_NONBLOCK`. This introduces a temporary workaround that catches the EAGAIN exception and re-attempts reading from STDIN "immediately". While this is not the ideal solution, it can be done right away and appears to have minimal impact on the overall performance of applications. A longer term fix is to move away from synchronous IO operations, but this is a significantly mroe involved fix and migth be a while before this can be delivered. The long term solution is tracked in #1142.
