Version: 12.13.0
Platform: Alpine 3.9 (Linux x86_64) on AWS ECS
Subsystem: domain

TypeError: Cannot read property 'enter' of undefined
    at AsyncHook.before (domain.js:76:20)
    at emitHook (internal/async_hooks.js:164:38)

We use @sentry/node to log our errors in express, which is using the domain module here:
https:/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/master/packages/node/src/handlers.ts#L271

So far it is extremely hard to reproduce but if we run our production server for around 10 minutes, our application will crash with the above error and no other stack trace. At first, we thought it was related to #28275 but it appears to be different as it looks like the fix for this landed around 12.8.0 and we can confirm that this happens in 12.13.0 still.

Versions 12.2.0 or below do not have this issue.

I believe the actual line is 78, not 76 which can be seen here:
https:/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/domain.js#L78

EDIT: Thanks @richardlau, line 79 in v12.13.0 https:/nodejs/node/blob/v12.13.0/lib/domain.js#L79

In 12.13.0 the line would appear to be 79:

@emhagman Is that all the stack trace you get? Is there any chance you could figure out what type of resource the hook is called for?

@addaleax This is the only stack trace that shows up, unfortunately. I can try to add a lot more logging and get some more context around when it happens but that is about it. Can I run node with any useful DEBUG= or command-line arguments that would help you out?

@emhagman Can you dump async hooks output to a file (à la https:/addaleax/node/blob/ee4027d5bbabe87d4446a62ec0b7b60e7af59c30/test.js#L3-L18 except not /dev/stderr) and make sure that hook is installed and active before any code that accesses domains? That might already be very helpful.

Did Github delete a comment here? Anyway; just thinking out loud…

The debug log shows that there is no destroy for the async id in question, so the C++ TLSWRAP object should still be alive, and thus keep the domain object alive through its .domain property; but the error message basically says that the domain has been garbage collected and is no longer accessible. The conclusion for me would be that the domain property on the native TLSWrap object is un-set at some point, but I really can’t think of a way that that would happen accidentally.

I’m not really sure how to best debug this further – one thing you could try is running node with --abort-on-uncaught-exception and share the core dump here, if that’s an option for you… that should at least enable verifying whether the property is set at time of the crash or not.

@addaleax Sorry, I deleted the comment because I left the resource out of the logs. I was trying to get a log for you that included the resource but I currently can't make the app crash again, it really is hard to reproduce. I am doing these tests in one of our staging environments so adding --abort-on-uncaught-exception won't be a problem.

I'm not sure if it helps but we can anecdotally confirm (other users in that thread) that not using the @sentry/node middleware removes the issue. I don't know if you saw the way they're using domain and got any insight. They use it throughout the @sentry/* ecosystem for Node.

@addaleax I have and they have deemed it an issue with Node, unfortunately. Since this has to do with GC, are there any ways to force a situation where this is more likely to occur? As of now, I have no idea how to reproduce it other than to use our app until it breaks

@emhagman You could set the value of the --gc-interval=n flag to a low value, if you want to cause more frequent GC; that might help?

Not sure if that helps. Working on getting the dump from my container now

EDIT: We use ECS Fargate on AWS so that will be impossible. I'll have to try and reproduce this locally so I can get access to the dump.

@emhagman Alright, this makes a bit more sense now. The .domain property isn’t actually set on the real resource, it’s set on a fake resource object used by the HTTP agent that can be garbage collected independently.

I’m assuming that 3d9d1ad is responsible for this … any chance you could verify that the bug was introduced in Node v12.3.0?

Also, if it helps with reproducing: If i’m correct, this will mostly happen when the https.Agent re-uses sockets for multiple requests to the same host.

emhagman commented Oct 26, 2019

@addaleax I believe others have already reproduced this bug in 12.3.0 and mentioned reverting to 12.2.0 fixes it in the Sentry issue thread. If I can make this happen on demand I'll be able to be positive about that.

What you said about the https agent makes perfect sense, we have a client that uses the same https agent with keepAlive on to the same host to try to save on connections to one of our internal services. That definitely helps with me getting closer to a reproducible bug. I'll keep digging, thanks again for the help.

As soon as I can reproduce it easily I'll try the patch 👍

It appears the library in question also uses httpsAgent with keepAlive: true so I think you're onto something! https:/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/edd08f9fa4e4c387ed9c3ba2500119c78e67be15/packages/raven-node/lib/transports.js#L10

@addaleax I am still trying to reproduce it but I noticed I linked to old code. They currently use https:/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/master/packages/node/src/transports/https.ts#L18 at Sentry. The keepAlive: false seems interesting as well as the timeout: 2000.

Does that help you at all?

simllll commented Oct 27, 2019

I'm following this issue as well as I'm really interested in solving it, just one thing about the keepalive flag and the httpsagent. Ist the agent also responsible for regular requests in express? I'm asking because the domain module is used in the Middleware of express, and as far as I understand the sentry client is using the http agent also for transferring the results back the the sentry backend, but in this case the domain is not that relevant. It is in the middleware though ... Assuming this is correctl, the "right way" of reproducing the issue would be sending parallel requests to your server so that the agent gets reused after some calls.

Not sure though,just my 2 cents.

@emhagman I think it’s the combination of both that’s making this problematic.

Yeah, I don’t think this is going to crash the way it does in your production code without using domains…

I'm following this issue as well as I'm really interested in solving it, just one thing about the keepalive flag and the httpsagent. Ist the agent also responsible for regular requests in express?

@simllll I don’t know for sure, but I wouldn’t think that it is being used for those.

@addaleax Gotcha. Do I need to bind anything in particular or just be running this inside my own domain?

const debugDomain = domain.create();
debugDomain.on('error', err => {
    console.log('Caught error in domain', err);
});

(async function main() {
    debugDomain.run(async () => {
        const id = crypto.randomBytes(8).toString('hex');
        const event = { id, msg: 'Some random error has occurred, sending to Sentry...' };
        const delay = Math.round(Math.random() * 4);
        const opts = delay ? { path: '/delay/' + delay, method: 'GET' } : {};
        await imitateSentrySend(https, { ...event, options: opts });
        await main(); // run-again
    });
})();

Sorry if I seem ignorant, I have never really worked with domains directly before. My basic understanding is they're used to hold context and to prevent errors from bubbling up to the main event loop.

@emhagman I would think that that’s enough but that doesn’t really mean that I’m sure that it’ll work as a reproduction. (I’ll try to put one together myself, too – likely tomorrow though.)

Yeah, that was kind of the original idea behind them when they were introduced.

simllll commented Oct 27, 2019

@emhagman I'm only on my phone, but my thoughts would be to send the error (your imitatesentrysend) in the on error handler of the domain, and inside the run async method just throw a lot of errors with some context (e.g. create objects that you attach to the error object). They should get picked up by the error handler, where the agent will try to send the data somewhere. I also would think of a way to make the transfer to the backend as slow as possible so that gc can kick in while sending the data. Maybe try attach some megabytes of Data to the error object so that it will take a while ;)

@simllll Thanks for the tips. I am probably going to take a break for a bit. This is what I currently have if anyone wants to take a stab at it. I've set it up exactly as Sentry, with the request middleware and the error middleware and used a local domain just like they do in their request middleware. It then "sends the errors" to the echo service to imitate Sentry.

I've used the same maxSockets value, timeout value, and keepAlive value that they do in their code.

With all of this, and using --gc-interval=5, I still can't seem to reproduce the error. @addaleax If I can get a core dump to prove it, would that be enough? It may be painful but I can at least eventually reproduce it in our production environment and I can figure a way out to get the core dump.

Run the app with node --gc-interval=5 app.js and then run node request.js to test it out.

Fwiw, I’m somewhat optimistic about being able to put together a reproduction myself, and then using this as a regression test. In the worst case, we could still apply something like the patch above and hope for the best, although it would of course be nice to actually confirm that it does fix a real issue.

This is the only thing preventing us from upgrading to the higher number 12.X and we'd love to be able to use the cgroups memory setting that landed in 12.7.0 https:/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V12.md#2019-07-23-version-1270-current-targos since we use Docker extensively and also take advantage of the startup time improvements from the V8 snapshots.

Indeed, I've also checked to see if any module uses the https.Agent as @emhagman suggested and I have found none.

I've upgraded our version of node to v13.0.1 in development to try to reproduce the bug. ( I chose to match our production version )

I'll be back if I get something.

EDIT: Any idea on how long this will take to get cut into a release for 12.X?

@emhagman So, typically the way this works is that the PR takes at least 48 hours to land unless explicitly being fast-tracked (I don’t think this qualifies as a trivial change), plus the time to the next Current/13.x release (Tuesday according to nodejs/Release#487); and then the LTS rules says that commits need to have been released two weeks before being backported into LTS, but if there’s a strong case for doing so sooner, that’s usually not an issue for a low-risk patch like this one.

We still see this issue.

I don't understand enough about the node garbage collection, but this does not seem to work.

Keeping a strong reference myself to the domain makes the problem go away:

const pairing = new Map()

asyncHooks.createHook({
  init(id) {

I am also still seeing this issue. However I cannot always reproduce this result. Maybe it is a race condition or something? It occurs here: https:/nodejs/node/blob/v14.18.1/lib/domain.js#L97

TypeError: Cannot read property 'enter' of undefined
    at AsyncHook.before (domain.js:97:20)
    at emitHook (internal/async_hooks.js:235:38)
    at emitBeforeScript (internal/async_hooks.js:501:5)
    at promiseBeforeHook (internal/async_hooks.js:345:3)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:95:5)

We ran into this in node 16 in our CI the other day:

https:/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/4061/checks?check_run_id=3954472061#step:6:688

Specifically, it was in 16.12.0. Couldn't repro it locally, and restarting the job a few times fixed it, so agree that it's flaky.

Can confirm that this or something like it remains in play. Same stack trace as those newer reports above, under both v17.1.0 and v16.13.0:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'enter')
    at AsyncHook.before (node:domain:97:20)
    at emitHook (node:internal/async_hooks:237:38)
    at emitBeforeScript (node:internal/async_hooks:505:5)
    at promiseBeforeHook (node:internal/async_hooks:347:3)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

However, running the same script under v12.22.7 does work as expected. I can very reliably reproduce the problem on newer node versions, so that's something.

I suppose I should open a new issue entirely......?
