When C++ addon was loaded twice with worker threads, error below occurs:

events.js:167
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

To reproduce, run code below with --experimental-worker flag:

const libxmljs = require('libxmljs')
const {
  Worker
} = require('worker_threads')

new Worker(__filename)

When I try to require the sharp, same error occurs.

I get the same with node-speaker, I'm on Linux nixos 4.14.63 #1-NixOS SMP Wed Aug 15 16:13:02 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux with nodejs 10.7.0. The package node-speaker doesn't work with experimental workers, but works fine otherwise. Like @ledsun I'm also self referencing with __file when constructing a new worker.

I'm running into this as well when using experimental workers that try to load the lzo package.

This looks to be a duplicate of #21783. It appears that the issue is due to addon initialization -- any native addons that are loaded in both the parent and worker thread (i.e. loaded more than once in the same process) need to be context aware.

I was facing this issue with the node-lzo library and we fixed it in schroffl/node-lzo#11
