Output:
node.js with identical logic:
Output:
The reason for this is that node.js calls
stopMessagePort()
[1] [2] [3] when theonmessage
listener is removed (likewise for.on('message')
). This causes the port to start buffering messages again and is the reason why we can still getworld
once we rebind the event listener. The browser does not implement this behavior: once a MessagePort is started, it is started forever until closed.(Another small thing to consider:
port.onmessage = () => {}
starts the port in the browser whereasport.addEventListener('message', () => {})
does not.)The second strange thing that I've found, which is sort of related to the
stopMessagePort()
behavior involves closing MessagePorts.Here is an example:
Throws:
There seems to be a small window of time where removing the message listener will throw after the port is closed (putting the
port1.off(...)
call in asetTimeout
doesn't seem to produce the error) [4] [5]. The browser never throws when removing events (partially because it doesn't implement this auto-stop behavior).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
