Nodejs crashes when undefined is used as key

Client Libraries Node.js Client

Hey guys,

I know this probably isn’t the best place to report this, but I couldn’t find any obvious links to a public bug tracking system on the website, so here it is.

Not sure if this a known issue, but I was playing around with the node client and I node.js kept coring on me.

I tracked the issue down to an undefined value being passed into aerospike.key. On the other hand, if I pass in null as a value, it kindly gives me a useful error message about an invalid parameter. It would be nice if the same thing happened for a key of undefined.

Here’s a short sample that should repro the crash:

var aerospike = require(‘aerospike’); var status = aerospike.status;

// Connect to the cluster. var client = aerospike.client({ hosts: [ { addr: ‘localhost’, port: 3000 } ] });

function connect_cb( err, client) { if (err.code == status.AEROSPIKE_OK) { console.log(“Aerospike Connection Success”) } }

client.connect(connect_cb)

// The key of the record we are reading. var key = aerospike.key(‘test’, ‘test’, undefined);

client.put( key, { baz: ‘bar’ }, function(err, rec, meta) { // Check for errors if ( err.code == status.AEROSPIKE_OK ) { // The record was successfully read. console.log(rec, meta); } else { // An error occurred console.error(‘error:’, err); } });

When I run it under gdb, it says that node gets a SIGSEGV, and here’s the stack:

Looks like the code snippet from the previous post didn’t quite make it.

var aerospike = require('aerospike');
var status = aerospike.status;


// Connect to the cluster.
var client = aerospike.client({
    hosts: [ { addr: 'localhost', port: 3000 } ]
});

function connect_cb( err, client) {
    if (err.code == status.AEROSPIKE_OK) {
        console.log("Aerospike Connection Success")
    }
}

client.connect(connect_cb)

// The key of the record we are reading.
var key = aerospike.key('test', 'test', undefined);



client.put(
    key,
    { baz: 'bar' },
    function(err, rec, meta) {
        // Check for errors
        if ( err.code == status.AEROSPIKE_OK ) {
            // The record was successfully read.
            console.log(rec, meta);
        }
        else {
            // An error occurred
            console.error('error:', err);
        }
    });
