process.domain is undefined after using "await" in node7

[zkd8907]

• Version: found at v7.4.0, reproducible at v7.2.0
• Platform: 64-bit Windows 10, Darwin Kernel Version 16.3.0(macOS 10.12.2)
• Subsystem:domain

I am trying to transform my code from Promise to await/async in node7, but I found it didn't work with domain.
Here is my code:

let d = require('domain').create();

d.run(async function(){
    console.log(d === process.domain);
    // true
    console.log(1, process.domain);
    // process.domain exists

    let result = await (async() => {
        return new Promise((resolve) => {
            resolve('ok');
        });
    })();

    console.log(result, process.domain, d);
    /**
     * result: ok
     * process.domain: undefined
     * d: no change
     */
});

As shown by the comments, process.domain is undefined after using await. However, If I remove await the result will be a Promise and process.domain is the same with d.
Is is a bug or something undocumented.

Not doced in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/topics/domain-postmortem.md, however, domains are deprecated in the docs, for reasons such as this.

They are known to not work with promises, though I'm having trouble finding a ref.

nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8648 discusses some issues

We can fix this once V8 5.5 lands

I've found the same situation when I am using Promise, that process.domain is undefined in callback. When I am using Promise, I hacked Promise.prototype.then and Promise.prototype.catch as the code blow:

Promise.prototype.then = function(orign){
        return function(){
                var d = process.domain;
                var f1 = arguments[0];
                var f2 = arguments[1];
                if(d && typeof f1 === 'function'){
                        arguments[0] = d.bind(f1);
                }
                if(d && typeof f2 === 'function'){
                        arguments[1] = d.bind(f2);
                }

                return orign.apply(this, arguments);
        }

process.domain exists in callback after the hack by myself. However, there is no way to hack await/async.

This would be fixed by #12489

Thank you so much for fixing this.

Is it gonna be released with 7.11?

[addaleax]

@emilsedgh Sorry, you’ll need to wait for 8.0.0 – older versions of V8 don’t have the necessary hooks for Node to handle this.

edit: but just so you know, we’ll be bringing out a 8.0.0 RC very shortly – please try that out!

[emilsedgh]

Oh thank you for letting me know. Fingers crossed for 8.0!
I tried it out by building master and it works perfectly fine.
