Node V6 Incompatibility?

[KZRepository]

I tried building our environment with Node V6.2. We had been using Node V5.7 but since have tested with Node V5.9.1. The app has been developed under Windows 10 and deployed under Ubuntu 15.10 moving to 16.04 LTS.

Under Node V6 we hit 3 problems:

1. Postgres 9.4 and 9.5.3 returned password authentication failure
2. PM2 1.0.2 would not return after starting a process
3. When trying to debug under Webstorm 16.1.2 on Windows, the it failed with a "ReferenceError: v8debug is not defined".

All the problems disappeared when reverting to Node v5.9.1

The Webstorm problem is still outstanding with a workaround adding --expose-debug-as=v8debug to "Node parameters" buried on their issues database.

PM2 has a fix in 1.1.3 (not in Ubuntu package repository at this time) labeled "node v6 compat" that consists of removing a call to hasOwnProperty in a wrapper around a cloning function.

Is this a known node-postgres to Node v6 compatibility issue?

Sorry for the issue @stretchKids - can you provide a code sample that works
on node v5 but does not work on node v6? This is high on my list to look
at.

I had a similar issue when upgrading from node 5.x to 6.x and was able to fix it just by deleting node_modules folder, running npm install and redeploying the app.

@apkoponen : In short you have just updated to newer release where bug has been solved :)

I can confirm that I've experienced the same issue before pulling 6fddc56 that resolves it.

[apkoponen]

Yup.

I hade this problem as well, but it was solved by updating to version 5.0.0.

Postgres 9.4 and 9.5.3 returned password authentication failure

I have this "v8debug is not defined" problem with 6.2.0, but reinstalling the node modules didn't help.

[brianc]

I have installed node-postgres on node v6 and v5 a whole bunch - never had any issues. I think it's something w/ your environment. Have you tried deleting node_modules?

[jtiscione]

I figured it out- the correct node option to use (on node 6.2.0) is:
--expose-debug-as=v8debug

[brianc]

Weird - I don't have to do that. I just have 6.2 and i do npm i pg and it
"just works" - are you doing something fancy w/ pg that would require
exposing dbug?

Whoops- I didn't see the part of the original post where he mentions his Webstorm problem being fixed by "--expose-debug-as=v8debug". Since I'm also using Webstorm I figure it must be a bug on their end.
(The problems with Postgres and PM2 look like a separate issue.)

[jbcpollak]

Just randomly came across this bug looking for something else. Just to clarify - the v8debug issue is related to WebStorm and has nothing to do with pg. The next patch release of WebStorm will fix that problem.

We are using pg (not directly - through loopback) with Node 6.2.1 and have no issues (with pg)

Ah thanks for the update from both @jtiscione and @jbcpollak! Really appreciate y'all diving in on things like this that are slightly outside of the wheelhouse of the lib in general but still impact the community!
