I got this log from my production clusters:

node.js:430
        callback();
        ^
TypeError: callback is not a function
    at doNTCallback0 (node.js:430:9)
    at process._tickCallback (node.js:359:13)

The stack trace sucks us in some ways, right? Because we can't start debugging from the log, so after we check the type of the callback at first, the terminal will tell us:

node.js:493
        throw new Error('callback is not a function');
        ^
Error: callback is not a function
    at process.nextTick (node.js:493:15)
    at startup (/Users/yorkieliu/workspace/weflex/api/index.js:3:11)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/yorkieliu/workspace/weflex/api/index.js:6:1)

    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:455:10)
    at startup (node.js:138:18)
    at node.js:976:3

The location /Users/yorkieliu/workspace/weflex/api/index.js:3:11 is in my source file, so I'm able to debug my program with this stack. Obviously, this is an enhancement on stack trace, isn't it :-)

You should use assert.throws() here.

It might be worth adding at least one other test that passes in a truthy value that is not a function, such as {}.

This is good, agree with needing additional tests and the use of TypeError. Marked semver-major because this changes error handling around key API.

I wonder about the ordering. Is it alright that nextTick() doesn't throw if the application is exiting, even though the callback won't be called? Hypothetical, but doesn't really matter.

Minus @cjihrig's comments and a green CI, LGTM.

This assertion should be removed because having just process.nextTick (no parens/uninvoked) is never going to throw, it will always return the function itself.

If you want to test the "same" thing as process.nextTick(), you could add testNextTickWith().

@yorkie the test looks good but there appears to be something hung up on the jenkins server. I don't believe it's related to this change, however. Given that this is a semver-major change, we should likely hold off a couple of days before landing, just to be on the safe side.

@yorkie it is labeled as semver-major. We haven't done a major version bump since this landed.

I see, got a comment(#3860 (comment)) from @jasnell, and do we have a plan about v6.x, the next major?

Tentatively, around April. See https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/blob/master/schedule.png for an approximation of the release schedule.

@cjihrig I'm confused. Don't all patches land in master and it simply isn't back ported if labeled semver-major?

@cjihrig

cjihrig commented Jan 27, 2016

@trevnorris yes. This landed in master already. I think the question is, when will it show up in a release.

yorkie commented Jan 27, 2016

Yea, I did ask the question just because the conversation is too long which causes don't see the labels(include semver-major). As @cjihrig did put a timeline of release plan above, I guess it's clear, however I'm still looking forward this patch could be landed ASAP.

BTW, How about the Node.js organization provide a service which let anyone would be able to get docker image or downloads of picked commits, that would be also good for me. lol (just thoughts, ignore me if i'm crazy)

Anyway, thank you guys for my question :-)
