child_process
Messages sent to a process forked using --eval are not received by the child process.
var ChildProcess = require('child_process')
var source = "process.on('message', function (msg) { process.send(msg) })"
var forked = ChildProcess.fork('--eval', [source])
forked.on('message', function (msg) {
console.log('message received:', msg)
})
forked.send('message')Output with Node 7.0.0:
message received: message
No output will be logged for any Node version past 7.0.0, including latest 7.7.3.
Calling forked.send after a delay of ~50ms does cause the message to be received in the forked process on 7.7.3.
