Issue Details

When ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE is enabled, setTimeout is basically broken. It works the first time it's used, not the second time.

• Electron Version:
  • Every version between 6.0.0 & 9.0.0-beta12
• Operating System:
  • macOS 10.14.6 & Ubuntu 18.04
• Last Known Working Electron version:
  • None

Expected Behavior

setTimeout should work consistently

Actual Behavior

When ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE is enabled, setTimeout is basically broken. It works the first time it's used, not the second time.

To Reproduce

$ git clone https://github.com/arantes555/electron-bug-settimeout.git
$ npm install
$ npm start

This runs multiple times, with the current node & with versions of electron from 6 to 9.
For a given run, it prints IT WORKED! when setTimeout works normally, and nothing otherwise.

Additional Information

Somehow, when wrapping the setTimeout in a process.nextTick, or a setImmediate, it works.

This makes me thing that it's linked to #7079 and to the activation of the uv loop in lib/common/init.ts .

Closing as duplicate underlying issue for #21515.

@codebytere thanks, I didn't find the other issue. I hadn't realized that it was related to using async/await at the same time as using setTimeout ...
