doc: list macOS as supporting filename argument #13111

chris--young · 2017-05-19T02:17:23Z

macOS is not currently listed as a supported os for the fs.watch filename argument, but it does work. This commit updates the documentation to reflect that.

Fixes: #13108

@chris--young thank you very much for the contribution 🥇

It would be extra beneficial if you tried to add some test cases that validate that the filename is indeed passed to the callback. That way we could run automated testing that validate the doc.
IMHO a good file to add the tests to is test/parallel/test-fs-watchfile.js, and you could use the helpers in our common test module to distunguish between the plafroms.

AIX too please.

bash-4.3$ uname   
AIX
bash-4.3$ cat w.js

var fs = require('fs');
fs.watch('myfile', (eventType, filename) => {
  console.log(`event type is: ${eventType}`);
  if (filename) {
    console.log(`filename provided: ${filename}`);
  } else {
    console.log('filename not provided');
  }
});

bash-4.3$ node w.js &
[1] 1769476
bash-4.3$ echo hello > myfile
bash-4.3$ event type is: change
filename provided: myfile
event type is: change
filename provided: myfile

gireeshpunathil

Per my comment - will you please add AIX also into the list?

I would add Windows too. You can also add AIX according to @gireeshpunathil's suggestion.

I just checked, it passes on windows.

If you could use ~~assert.ifError~~ if (err) assert.fail(err); instead. It will rethrow the error so we know what went wrong.
assert(!err) will just say true != false

For the test to pass on Windows you should remove the common.refreshTmpDir();. Don't worry about it, the test harness will take care of it.

Any idea what's up with that failed windows-fanned test? Seeing this in the logs...

node-test-binary-windows » 1,vs2015-x86,win2008r2 completed with result FAILURE

I don't have a Windows box to test on right now, should be able to setup a vm over the weekend if needed.

Ignore, it's a infrastructure fail. Also the linux fan is backlogged.
You can consider it green 👍

Nit: can you please replace this with assert.ifError()?

Edit: Just read @refack comments against assert.ifError(). It is actually widely used in our tests but what is used here is also ok so feel free to ignore this.

Thanks for your contribution! Can you please change the message of the first commit to use doc:, not docs:? That can be fixed by whoever lands the commit as well, though.

I'd prefer it to be either a one-liner or to have braces, but maybe it's just me, and it clearly does not violate the code style this way too, so you can ignore this comment :)

I really think we should use assert.ifError(err) in these cases.

Either one liner or braces.
