fix: event with invalid timestamp in trace log #31349

CezaryKulakowski · 2021-10-08T10:00:21Z

When node is started within Electron's environment it doesn't
initialize v8 and time of v8's start is never set. As a result
we log v8's start time as 0 and it breaks timestamps in the
trace log. With this change we log v8's start time only when
it was initialized by node.

Bug: #31348

/cc @codebytere this is worth upstreaming.

@CezaryKulakowski Is this patch order correct, looks like the sync failure is related to it. Can you please look into it.

@deepak1556 I've just checked again than gclient sync passes with no error on my Windows 10 and macOS.

I can also see that sync was fine on Windows. Is gclient run with some additional options on buildbots on macOS and Linux?

electron/.circleci/config.yml

Line 261 in 31e295a

ELECTRON_USE_THREE_WAY_MERGE_FOR_PATCHES=1 gclient sync --with_branch_heads --with_tags

is the command used by linux and macOS ci.

I've just run this command on top of my branch on macOS and gclient was successful.

I'm going to move my patch under another one which also modifies src/env.cc. Unfortunately I am not able to check locally if it works as there is no problem on my machines.

Yeah not sure what is the issue, /cc @jkleinsc

Sounds good, it is better if you can just append the patch to the list

It seems my fixup solved the problem. But it would be good to know how to reproduce the problem locally to avoid such problems in the future. I guess the best tip is to apply new patches on top of the rest of the patches and put it at the end of file .patches.

I wonder if we can set performance::performance_v8_start = PERFORMANCE_NOW() in ElectronRendererClient to avoid adding a patch?

CezaryKulakowski · 2021-10-11T07:41:08Z

@zcbenz we could but current fix looks like more valid one. I don't know the node's development process: is it possible to upstream this change to them?

zcbenz · 2021-10-11T10:12:26Z

We would like to minimize the number of patches on Node.js, so generally we prefer having ugly code in Electron than patching Node.js.

For this patch I think it should be fine to be upstreamed, can you try creating a pull request at https://github.com/nodejs/node? If Node.js maintainers are fine with it I have no problem merging this.

codebytere · 2021-10-11T10:46:04Z

@zcbenz i'll open an upsteam PR.

ckerr · 2021-10-13T18:05:44Z

linux-x64-testing-tests is failing with this error:

AssertionError: the trace output file is suspiciously large (116.525390625KB),
        check "/tmp/trace.json": expected 116.525390625 to be below 10
    at Context.<anonymous> (electron/spec-main/api-content-tracing-spec.ts:64:41)

Which superficially seems related to the subject of this PR. Is this related, and if so, is this an actual issue, or is it just that the file has changed because the timestamps have changed?

codebytere · 2021-10-14T09:12:29Z

@ckerr this was fixed in #31409 and is unrelated so @CezaryKulakowski if you could rebase we can get this merged.

CezaryKulakowski · 2021-10-14T10:18:36Z

@codebytere I've force pushed branch rebased to the newest main.
