While commit 12274a5 fixed data loss when a readable event handler is attached, the problem still exists when the stdio stream has a piped consumer that doesn't read fast enough. Signed-off-by: Petros Angelatos <petrosagg@gmail.com>
This commit prevents child process stdio streams from being automatically flushed on child process exit/close if a piped consumer has been attached at the time of exit. Without this, child process stdio data can be lost if the process exits quickly and the piped consumer hasn't had the chance to read the remaining data. Fixes: nodejs#7184 Signed-off-by: Petros Angelatos <petrosagg@gmail.com>
In order for the testcase to fail, the calls to read() must be done after 'exit' is emitted and after flushStdio has been called. With this change, the testcase will catch any regressions on this issue. Signed-off-by: Petros Angelatos <petrosagg@gmail.com>

This testcase was added to cover the issue fixed here: balena-io-experimental@12274a5
But the testcase passes even if the change of that commit is reverted. So I just fixed the testcase to reflect what was actually fixed there.

@petrosagg Can confirm that this test case worked even before 12274a5 – nice catch! A separate PR seems like a good idea, yep

@petrosagg I’d like to get both of your changes to the tests in… are you interested in PRing yourself? |

Description of change
The
flushStdio()checks if there are readable handlers attached to the stdio streams to prevent data loss but it doesn't check if there are piped consumers. Change it so that it checkspipesCounttoo.I also fixed the previous testcase on the same issue to actually catch the regression as it would previously pass regardless of what flushStdio was doing.
Fixes #7184
