Added test coverage for Symbol class #972

JckXia · 2021-04-20T02:19:31Z

Added new tests for the Symbol class. Also added a static method to the Symbol class to perform "Symbol.For()" from the C++ side, since the exisiting method (Symbol::Wellknown) , which has a different functionality caused some confusion.

Do we need some other overloads for this methods?

Hmm yeah I think that will be a good idea. Will add them in soon.

+  (void)info;


Why does it necessary do this?

(void)info;

I think this was to suppress compiler warnings for unused parameter, since the default Symbol constructor doesn't take in any values. But i can remove this function since it's not being called from js.

To avoid compiler complains maybe you can try the following solution (comment the formal parameter of the function):

Symbol CreateNewSymbolWithNoArgs(const Napi::CallbackInfo& /*info*/) {

Let me know if it worked.

Yep it works. Thanks!

Hi @JckXia,
could you propose the last change on the package.json on a different PR? I'm asking for this because the change it's not correlated with the test and in case we will need to revert the change it will be more simpler to do. For the rest it's all ok.

JckXia · 2021-04-28T15:27:37Z

Hey @NickNaso
Thanks for the review! I think I accidentally made some changes to package.json and checked it into git for some reason and was trying to revert it. There was no changes needed to be made to package.json and I will try to revert the changes made to it. Sorry about that.

NickNaso

@JckXia thanks for catching this!

gabrielschulhof · 2021-05-29T15:44:23Z

We must never pass nullptr into napi_create_string_*() because that will cause a crash. Thus, we should actually change all the APIs (even existing ones) that end up calling napi_create_string_*() to return napi_invalid_arg when passed in what evaluates to (const char *)nullptr.

I'll make a PR upstream to fix this in core.

JckXia · 2021-06-02T01:42:55Z

Thanks for the review @gabrielschulhof . Just making sure, are we converting the env parameter in these overloads from type napi_env to type Napi::Env ? Or are we keeping overloads for both napi_env and Napi::Env ?

gabrielschulhof · 2021-06-04T14:13:34Z

I checked napi.h by looking for [(]napi_env and it turns out most of our APIs take napi_env as the first argument so it's OK to keep the napi_env and we need neither replace nor provide overloads. So, LGTM except for the passing-null-to-napi_create_string_* part.

Hi @JckXia ,

Do we have a test for this nullptr value...? I am not sure what happens when using a nullptr napi_value for the description here:

auto forSymb = symbObject.Get("for").As<Function>().Call(symbObject, {description});

and I think a test would be beneficial

JckXia · 2021-06-16T01:58:40Z

@KevinEady Thanks for catching that! Apparently if we simply pass the C++ nullptr into that function it will cause a SegFault. I updated the Symbol::For method impl to use the napi_value we get from calling the napi_get_null function instead and it seems to work.

@KevinEady Thanks for catching that! Apparently if we simply pass the C++ nullptr into that function it will cause a SegFault. I updated the Symbol::For method impl to use the napi_value we get from calling the napi_get_null function instead and it seems to work.

@JckXia Aahahh... I am inclined then to remove the std::nullptr default and the "check if nullptr, assume napi_get_null" ... Because that is not something we have in other locations. For example,

{
  [null]: "3"
}

is a valid JSON object, but we do not check in Object::Get for using const char* utf8name with std::nullptr:

node-addon-api/napi-inl.h

Lines 1227 to 1232 in ad76ad0

    
           inline Value Object::Get(const char* utf8name) const { 
        
             napi_value result; 
        
             napi_status status = napi_get_named_property(_env, _value, utf8name, &result); 
        
             NAPI_THROW_IF_FAILED(_env, status, Value()); 
        
             return Value(_env, result); 
        
           }

The application would just crash (I assume). I would think, for consistency purposes, we should remove the nullptr default as well as the runtime check (which is additional overhead anyway).

If the user wanted to explicitly use null, they could use Symbol::For(env, env.Null()).

Thoughts?

JckXia · 2021-06-16T16:45:23Z

@KevinEady Oh okay I see. So I think we can simply pass the description argument into String::New(), and pass the newly constructed Napi string the Symbol::For function? Also, I think this Symbol::For(env, env.Null()) is a good approach, as I believe they could do something similar for undefined. Will update the PR and later today. :)

KevinEady · 2021-07-02T15:16:48Z

This depends on landing #1015 first.

KevinEady · 2021-07-02T15:18:54Z

As discussed in today's meeting, please remove the std::nullptr default value in Symbol::For.

mhdawson · 2021-07-09T15:52:08Z
