Cannot run pm2 as another user

The same question was dicussed here #2033 and here #4058 , still problem exists in latest release 3.5.0:

Defining --uid gives must be an integer error

@ip:~# pm2 start /etc/price/ecosystem.config.js --uid 1009
[PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/root/.pm2
[PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
[PM2][WARN] Applications exodus-pricing-server-backend not running, starting...
[PM2][ERROR] Process failed to launch The "options.uid" property must be of type int32. Received type string

Adding "user": "existing_username" to ecosystem config file, does not change anything, it still runs under root.

3.1 is the latest working minor version working to me. Later versions are broken.

UPD: bisected and found breaking commit: ccb35ef

Hi, interested by this! Does it also fix #2957 i.e. does it include all group ids to processes?
