refactoring of the fs module.

[drsm]

1. Handle arguments containing path strings in one place: https://github.com/nginx/njs/commit/1e9f7f506472cb7f1ae218681b319bdd279bb1ec

[drsm]

2. Fixed callback invocations in "fs" module. Fixes #200. https://gist.github.com/drsm/3f4567cacbc0f088862b04a0b5d5d7f2 (Ready)

[drsm]

TODO: (in no particular order)

• TypedArrays & ArrayBuffer
• better testsuite
• benchmark
• add more encodings

Thanks, committed with some improvements: https://github.com/nginx/njs/commit/cd10a4b329a6612782335acd5a954a408897df25.

3. Introduced fs.promises API. / Introduced fs.access and friends. https://gist.github.com/drsm/d950402101765c7395c36cb4051576ba (Ready)

@xeioex please take a look. isn't it broken by design?

[xeioex]

@drsm

isn't it broken by design?

Looks promising. Have no issues with the design.

[drsm]

I've updated the patch above. The solution is compatible with nodejs except the cases like fs.promises.readFile() (our version will throw).

[xeioex]

@drsm I am on large (Array objects) refactoring now. I plan to merge the patch this or next week.

[drsm]

4. Added fs.symlink(), fs.unlink(), fs.mkdir(), fs.rmdir() and friends. https://gist.github.com/drsm/d0b44c1d6252a9c2a0627c15aed97c31 (outdated)

Thanks Artem. Will take a look at the end of the week.

It seems to me that the concept is very straightforward to put any copyrights here.

[xeioex]

@drsm

Added fs.mkdir(), fs.rmdir() and friends.

BTW, why not support recursive mode also?

Committed, thanks.

Also added missing parts for rename() method in https://github.com/nginx/njs/commit/0f28a80e9a80b9c7429090e767bf57f19003aed2.

I'll to do it.

Improved fs.rmdir() to support recursive directory removal. https://gist.github.com/drsm/38714fecb523293d70296741cb62eb02

The upstream solution is still buggy

@drsm

Take a look, https://gist.github.com/xeioex/cf5d4d451642510777552614ca1396af

Coverity (static analyser) found the following issue with the previous mkdir patch.

Coverity (static analyser) found the following issue with the previous mkdir patch.

Yes, there is a race condition. I was unsure about error codes, so decided to stat it first :). https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/bin/mkdir/mkdir.c#L182

The fix looks fine to me.

[drsm]

@xeioex

The fix looks fine to me.

BTW, we may lose an original mkdir() errno after stat: https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/bin/mkdir/mkdir.c#L150 but i don't think it's a serous issue.

I had to implement njs_file_tree_walk() from scratch because ftw.h is a total mess, even though it is a POSIX interface. Alpine (libc musl) vs Ubuntu (glibc) vs Freebsd all they respond differently to _XOPEN_SOURCE feature macros.

[drsm]

@xeioex Great Job!

[xeioex]

@drsm

I added support for Buffer object in fs module, feel free to catch any issues.

[drsm]

@xeioex

Thanks!

This place is questionable:

>> fs.realpath(Buffer.from('/none'), (e) => void console.log(e.path))
undefined
Buffer [47,110,111,110,101]

vs.

> fs.realpath(Buffer.from('/none'), (e) => void console.log(e.path))
undefined
> /none
