util: discrepancy in format() docs vs behavior #935
Comments
Is the issue that primitives are ToString'd? I think the output of util.inspect() is the same except in the case of strings, util.format() wraps them in quotes. That would make for a mildly annoying change: |
Yep, that's the problem. A doc change sounds appropriate. |
Only objects and symbols use `util.inspect`, others are simply concatenated. Fixes: nodejs#935
Closed as fixed in |
There is a discrepancy between how the docs say
util.format()
works, and what really happens. The docs state:However, only objects and symbols actually use
util.inspect()
. The required change is trivial, and I think we should bring behavior into line with what the docs say, but this is a slightly breaking change (there is at least one test that fails).Originally reported in #931
