What steps will reproduce the bug?
The code located in ./test/parallel/test-net-socket-connect-without-cb.js
'use strict';
const common = require('../common');
// This test ensures that socket.connect can be called without callback
// which is optional.
const net = require('net');
const server = net.createServer(common.mustCall(function(conn) {
conn.end();
server.close();
})).listen(0, common.mustCall(function() {
const client = new net.Socket();
client.on('connect', common.mustCall(function() {
client.end();
}));
const address = server.address();
if (!common.hasIPv6 && address.family === 'IPv6') {
// Necessary to pass CI running inside containers.
client.connect(address.port);
} else {
client.connect(address);
}
}));Command:
// you should build Node.js from source first
./out/Release/node ./test/parallel/test-net-socket-connect-without-cb.js
How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
Always, but your computer should be configured to allow usage of IPv6 and you shouldn't have (IPv6 loopback address) localhost pair in your hosts file.
What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?
Do not print anything and normally terminate.
What do you see instead?
Following error
node:events:495
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Additional information
I think this happens because socket.connect(options[, connectListener]) uses options.host as the host the socket should connect to, while the return of server.address() has keys of address, family, and port. As address.host does not exist on the client.connect(address); in the test code, it seems that it tries to connect the default host 'localhost'.
I'm not sure which one of test code and net module should be fixed, but I can try to fix this and make PR if it is decided.
