Disconnecting serial cable crashes node

[lizhouatforte]

on node 0.10.36 with serial port 1.7.4 on windows 7 64bit

If I run node with serial cable plugged, then unplug the cable, the node is crashed.

Here is my code:

var serialport = require("serialport");
var sp = null;
serialport.list(function (err, ports) {
            ports.some(function (port) {
                sp = new serialport.SerialPort(port.comName, { baudrate: 19200 });
                sp.on('open', function () {
                    console.log('Opened ' + port.comName);
                });
                sp.on('error', function () {
                    console.log('Errored!!!');
                });
                sp.on('close', function () {
                    console.log('Closed!!!');
                });
                return true;
            });
        });

The console output is:

Opened COM3

undefined:0
TypeError: undefined is not a function

I appreciate any input why error/close events are not triggered. Thanks!

I figured out why, this is bananas. Adding this to the backlog as disconnect is not documented or working properly.

Disconnect still removes all events but it does it after emitting disconnect and error events. We're going to stop doing this behavior in the next major release.

We fixed a ton of bugs in our latest beta specifically ones addressing this issue. #733 Please try it out [email protected] and report back!

The CPU issue seems fixed but the port can't be reopened. Still an issue.

[reconbot]

Per #919 window's serialport poller will emit errors on disconnect that can't be caught.

This is fixed with 5.0.0-beta6
