FSEventWrap: Aborting due to unwrap failure (Linux)

[medikoo]

Node v0.8.9 (observed also on v0.8.8, didn't check the others)

I can't narrow it down to simple test case, it's probably result of some race condition.

I have some test scripts that setup watchers (using fs.watch) and later change file system (removal, addition, update of files) in short periods of time. On Linux (Ubuntu 12.04) I get following error:

FSEventWrap: Aborting due to unwrap failure at ../src/fs_event_wrap.cc:169
Aborted (core dumped)

It doesn't happen every time (about 7/10), but when it happens it happens as result of fs.unlink call on file that's being watched.

Same error fails Travis tests: http://travis-ci.org/#!/medikoo/node-ext/jobs/2368332 (not sure what Linux distribution do Travis use).

You can reproduce it with:

$ git clone git://github.com/medikoo/node-ext.git next
$ cd next
$ git checkout 5206759e48
$ npm install
$ npm test

Can you post a standalone test case? I get a lot of errors when I run npm update, e.g.

Sorry, I provided wrong install instructions. I've updated them, but still you can download standalone case from https://github.com/downloads/medikoo/node-ext/standalone-case-for-node-3997-bug.zip

Thanks, I can reproduce the issue.

[bnoordhuis]

Fixed in db5c26e, thanks for the report.

[medikoo]

Great, Thank you!

Hmm...this just happened to be in the middle of a big integration test I was running on node v0.9.12. I'll try to reproduce it in a smaller test case. Wanted to report it ASAP since I know v0.10 is about to come out.
