From dd20e68b0feb966c2a7439c947bbb4d46e3b19fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James M Snell Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 09:06:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] process: add optional detail to process emitWarning Adds a new method signature variant for process.emitWarning() that accepts an options object. The options object may include a new `detail` option that allows additional detail text to be associated with the warning. By default, this additional text will be printed to stderr along with the warning, and included on the Warning Error object using the `.detail` property. e.g. ```js process.emitWarning('A message', { code: 'WARNING123', detail: 'This is additional detail' }); // Emits: // (node {pid}) [WARNING123] Warning: A message // This is additional detail ``` PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/12725 Reviewed-By: Colin Ihrig --- doc/api/process.md | 56 ++++++++++++++++++++-- lib/internal/process/warning.js | 30 +++++++----- test/parallel/test-process-emitwarning.js | 57 +++++++++++++++-------- 3 files changed, 107 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/api/process.md b/doc/api/process.md index 3f853e55116632..133e3f7de5f197 100644 --- a/doc/api/process.md +++ b/doc/api/process.md @@ -637,6 +637,52 @@ process's [`ChildProcess.disconnect()`][].
