Timeout support was added to
spawn
in v15.13.0 (PR), butexecFile
has continued to use its own mechanism to implement the timeout functionality, which is now basically replicating the logic added tospawn
.This PR removes the repeated logic from
execFile
and delegates timeout handling tospawn
instead. It does so by forwarding the optionstimeout
andkillSignal
.The only visible change I can think of is a different order of parameter validation in
execFile
, which means a possibly different error message in the case that bothtimeout
and at least another option are passed invalid values. Looking at the other functions in child_process and their tests, and after reading the documentation, it seems to me though that no particular order of parameter validation is being enforced, so I guess this change would have no significant impact.No functionality was added or removed. All tests are still passing.
