v3.x branch Broken on Node.js master

[MylesBorins]

Specifically by nodejs/node#13295

We've had to deprecate remove vm.runInDebugContext() due to the api being deprecated in V8

I'm going to dig in and see if I can come up with a patch for the 3.x branch to avoid ecosystem breakages

I'm not super interested in doing work to support graceful-fs@3. But, if you want to write a patch, I'd be happy to land it and push a 3.x release. Please do also reach out to authors using it. (I've already deprecated it, so they're getting nagged as of yesterday. Should've probably done that a long time ago.)

Thanks for the quick response. This ends up breaking vinyl-fs + gulp... you know the drill. I'll see if I can come up with a quick fix, but if not I'll pass the message to the gulp team. Thankfully we have a bunch of runway to sort this out

This seems to be inherited from breakages in natives

closing in lieu of isaacs/natives#14

FWIW- I got this working in v3.0.8 by installing natives and changing the relevant require's in fs.js:

// eeeeeevvvvviiiiiiillllll
// more evil than monkey-patching the native builtin?
// Not sure.

var natives = require('natives')
var mod = natives.require("module")
var pre = '(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { '
var post = '});'
var src = pre + process.binding('natives').fs + post
var vm = natives.require('vm')
var fn = vm.runInThisContext(src)
fn(exports, natives.require, module, __filename, __dirname)
