Description of change

This removes uses of the the internal/util printDeprecationMessage() API in favor of
using process.emitWarning(msg, 'DeprecationWarning'). This allows us to remove the
graceful-fs warning in fs providing at least a temporary relief of the logjam that is
occurring there.

The PR also adds a new lint rule that flags uses of printDeprecationMessage()

/cc @ChALkeR @thealphanerd @nodejs/ctc

This is an alternative to #6413. If this lands, We do not have to do the revert.

Sorry, but -1 on that until #6413 gets merged. We should keep the warning there until it's broken, else we will need to re-implement the warning.

Because other PRs (I counted four of them) are blocked by the exact same thing — and we don't want those to be broken without a warning.

That warning is not a culpit, it's just the messenger, just removing it for the sake of removing would do no good, if other PRs will block on that again.

After #6413 and other breaking PRs get merged, +1 on this change as a regular clean up, but not as an alternative to #6413.

I understand that the same fundamental problem exists still but this would eliminate the immediate issue giving us more time to address the larger concern without jamming anything up on this one thing. It's an incremental step not a final solution.

I don't understand, why it is removes from all modules, not just fs?

@jasnell Once again: evading the breaking change in #6413 would not give us anything, because there are several more PRs that break graceful-fs evildoing in exactly the same way. That's why the fix in graceful-fs@3 (isaacs/node-graceful-fs@07701dc) also wouldn't work generally.

Moreover — #6413 doesn't even break graceful-fs anymore, as the hack was landed in graceful-fs (which I am not happy about, because it gives us nothing).

The issue here is with other PRs which get blocked by keeping graceful-fs@3 compatibility, and that's what we need to fix. Removing the deprecation warning would make things even worse, I think. We still address the issue that blocks those PR as «#6413», but that's not even correct anymore — it's only a label for the issue atm as #6413 could be merged at any time with no effect on graceful-fs@3.

@jasnell I would be completely fine with merging this as a regular clean up if the deprecation warning is kept and if we will have a separate PR that would turn the deprecation warning into a throw instead of #6413, so that we could block all those PRs against that instead of #6413.

-1 is only for the removal of the warning without making it a throw.

For the record, a list of PRs why we need the warning: #6749, #6573, #7162, #2025 (that last one is closed, but it got closed because of graceful-fs hack support, it actually does a good thing).

Any of those would break graceful-fs@[23], and we don't want that to be a sudden breakage. The warning is required so that people stop using graceful-fs@[23] so we could merge those.

@ChALkeR ... just so I understand... are you specifically talking about the graceful-fs warning?

@jasnell I am talking about the fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. … warning that is currently triggered on the Node.js side when someone tries to re-evaluate core fs moule sources (namely, graceful-fs@2 and graceful-fs@3).

@vkurchatkin ... if you look at the implementation of internal/util#printDeprecationMessage, you'll see that all it does is defer to process.emitWarning(). Accordingly, it doesn't make sense to keep using printDeprecationMessage since we can use emitWarning() directly.

but why create eslint rule for that? let's just remove printDeprecationMessage

We can do that also. My plan was to reevaluate the methods in internal/util separately and remove stuff that's unnecessary in a separate PR, but you're right that this would allow us to go ahead and remove printDeprecationMessage() now.

Nit: I would prefer a clearer name for the rule and rule file. dep is more likely to be read as "dependency" or something like that at first glance and not deprecation. Maybe no-internal-dep -> no-internal-deprecation at a minimum? I'm fine with the rule being long. There's already longer built-in rule names like no-whitespace-before-property.

@vkurchatkin @ChALkeR .. ok, refactored the PR.

The internal/util printDeprecationMessage() method is removed entirely
The reevaluation warning is added back into fs but without the need for polyfilling printDeprecationMessage()
I had to include a fix to emitWarning because it wasn't handling process.noDeprecation correctly (bug that wasn't caught previously)

Could you keep the TODO and reasoning? It might need a slight rephrase, e.g.:

// TODO(ChALkeR): remove this in master after 6.x
// This is required to give users a grace period before actually breaking
// modules that re-evaluate fs sources from context where internal
// modules are not allowed, e.g. older versions of graceful-fs module.

Yeah, will add that back

@jasnell Thanks!

+1 to the current approach. This is not a complete review, I will review the actual code changes tomorrow =).

@Trott ... I just removed the eslint rule but thank you for the feedback on it :-)

I'm still hoping we could remove the warning and land other PRs in time to v7.0 release, as the ecosystem packages actually could get fixed in time to v7.0 release.

Atm, this comment contradicts our milestones, specifically, milestone for #6573 — if that lands in v7.0, then this warning would be useless in v7.0.

@ChALkeR I know.. this reflects the current status I think but if we can clear up the logjam before v7 then fantastic...

@nodejs/ctc ... PTAL

Ping @nodejs/ctc @nodejs/collaborators

Note that this is still valid (even with the most recent graceful-fs@3 update) for users of graceful-fs@2, older versions of graceful-fs@3, and perhaps some user code that does the same thing (unlikely, but still possible).

Removing the warning would force us to introduce it again at least for a full major cycle in order to land other PRs that are blocked by re-evaluating fs.

So, please don't remove this on updates =).

New CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/3832/
(the last one uncovered a bug.. updated)

CI is green

@ChALkeR ... PR updated, PTAL

CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/3890/

LGTM

Flaky failure in arm, CI is green otherwise.

Will land this tomorrow if there are no objections.

Could you leave require('internal/util'); here so this won't become suddenly re-evaluatable in v7? Or we might be forced to do another round of deprecation…

That line could be removed when something else will land that requires internal, hopefully in time for v7.

Upd: not needed anymore, as #6749 landed.

There are several other open PRs that move bits to internal/fs.js that would cover this requirement.

Only if those land before this one =).

@ChALkeR ... #6749 landed just now, which adds a ref to internal/fs

Yay!
That discards my previous comments in this subthread =).

The process.emitWarning() API should be used for printing deprecation warning messages rather than directly using the internal/util#printDeprecationMessage

As an alternative to nodejs#6413, use process.emitWarning() instead of the internal printDeprecationMessage in order to avoid use of an internal only API.

Removes the internal/util printDeprecationWarning method

New CI before landing: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/3930/

CI is green-ish. Only build bot failures that will hopefully be fixed soon. Landing!
