Node throws exception in main thread (?) when trying to execute event via ThreadSafeFunction

[markpiffer]

I was trying this with Napi::ThreadSafeFunction but it keeps crashing when Node encounters the function call in its event loop supposedly. The C++ itself runs through without problems.

Napi::ThreadSafeFunction emitFuncThreadSafe;

void configIAmEvent(const Napi::CallbackInfo& info) {
    Napi::Env env = info.Env();

    Napi::Object eventEmitter = info[0].As<Napi::Object>();
    Napi::Value emitFuncValue = eventEmitter.Get("emit");
    if (emitFuncValue.IsFunction()) {
        Napi::Function emitFunction = emitFuncValue.As<Napi::Function>();
        emitFuncThreadSafe = Napi::ThreadSafeFunction::New(env, emitFunction, "IAmEventEmitter", 0, 5);
    }
}

void emit_iam(const char* ip) {
//    emitFuncThreadSafe.BlockingCall(ip, [](Napi::Env env, Napi::Function f, const char* ip) { f.Call({Napi::String::New(env,"IAm"), Napi::String::New(env,ip)}); });
      emitFuncThreadSafe.NonBlockingCall(ip, [](Napi::Env env, Napi::Function f, const char* ip) {
          f.Call({Napi::String::New(env, "IAm"), Napi::String::New(env, ip)}); });
}

The result is a:

#
# Fatal error in HandleScope::HandleScope
# Entering the V8 API without proper locking in place
#

Exception: Exception 0x80000003 encountered at address 0x7ff6138bc532
Exception: Exception 0x80000003 encountered at address 0x7ff6138bbde0

Process finished with exit code 3

I can assert that the (same) event was generated two times in the native code which I think is the reason for two Exceptions.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @markpiffer ,

Is it possible for you to provide a more in-depth reproduction, preferably in a git repository? A cursory glance at your pasted code shows nothing problematic / out of the ordinary.

If you are looking for EventEmitter integrations with node-addon-api, take a look at the examples.

Thanks, Kevin
