set-blocking¶ ↑
set blocking stdio
and stderr
ensuring that terminal output does not truncate.
const setBlocking = require('set-blocking') setBlocking(true) console.log(someLargeStringToOutput)
Historical Context/Word of Warning¶ ↑
This was created as a shim to address the bug discussed in node #6456. This bug crops up on newer versions of Node.js (0.12+
), truncating terminal output.
You should be mindful of the side-effects caused by using set-blocking
:
-
if your module sets blocking to
true
, it will effect other modules consuming your library. In yargs we only callsetBlocking(true)
once we already know we are about to callprocess.exit(code)
. -
this patch will not apply to subprocesses spawned with
isTTY = true
, this is the {defaultspawn()
behavior}[https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawn_command_args_options].
