In "fs.copyFile(src, dest[, mode], callback)" , for callback,'err' is not defined. #53230
Description
Activity
import { copyFile, constants } from 'node:fs'; function callback(err) { if (err) throw err; console.log('source.txt was copied to destination.txt'); } // destination.txt will be created or overwritten by default. copyFile('source.txt', 'destination.txt', callback); // By using COPYFILE_EXCL, the operation will fail if destination.txt exists. copyFile('source.txt', 'destination.txt', constants.COPYFILE_EXCL, callback);
The documentation mentions an
errargument in the callback demo code, but no where else in the docs, CC @nodejs/fsFrom my test,
fs.copyFile's callback has aerrparam.$ node test.mjs file:///test.mjs:4 if (err) throw err; ^ [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, copyfile 'source.txt' -> 'destination.txt'] { errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'copyfile', path: 'source.txt', dest: 'destination.txt' } Node.js v22.2.0 $ cat test.mjs import { copyFile } from 'node:fs'; function callback(err) { if (err) throw err; console.log('source.txt was copied to destination.txt'); } // destination.txt will be created or overwritten by default. copyFile('source.txt', 'destination.txt', callback);I ran the same code and got the same result, this seems like a doc-only issue. @Vikranthraosb is that was you were referring to?
yes. it's an doc-only issue.
yes. it's not an doc-only issue.
If it's not an doc-only issue, could you please clarify what exactly the issue is?
Fixed by #53234

Description of the problem
There should be an "err" in the callback function for copyFile model, which is absent. Please do add it..
