What steps will reproduce the bug?
Run the perf_hooks code snippet documented here.
const {
performance,
PerformanceObserver
} = require('perf_hooks');
const obs = new PerformanceObserver((list, observer) => {
// Called three times synchronously. `list` contains one item.
console.log('hello, world');
});
obs.observe({ type: 'mark' });
for (let n = 0; n < 3; n++)
performance.mark(`test${n}`);
The above snippet outputs hello, world once. In node.js versions <16 it will output hello, world three times. The observer callback is never being called synchronously as the comment states it should be.
How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
Always for node 16 and greater.
What is the expected behavior?
The PerformanceObserver callback should be run for each performance.mark() call. The callback should be called synchronously and the list argument should contain one item on each call so long as the buffered option on the observe function is not set to true. As documented here.
What do you see instead?
The PerformanceObserver callback is only run once after execution of the script.
