Error: IPC channel is already disconnected
Problem
Where/when should I catch this error?
Error: IPC channel is already disconnected
This is called from child_process
(using cluster
) module when I call .disconect()
multiple times. I know that I shouldn't call this twice (or more), but sometimes I don't have control over this. Eventually how to prevent calling this multiple times? This code doesn't works:
try {
if (worker.state !== "disconnected" && worker.state !== "dead") {
worker.disconnect();
}
} catch (error) {}
EDIT:
This is stack trace of this error:
events.js:71
throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Solution
This error should be handled in worker
file. For example using this code:
process.on("uncaughtException", function (error) {
if (error.toString() !== 'Error: IPC channel is already disconnected') {
process.stderr.write(error.stack);
process.exit(1);
}
});
All tries for catching it from parent script was unsuccessful.
I have hope that this help someone deal with this problem.
