child_process: empty options.env results in ENOMEM error #29008
Closed
Description
- Version: v10.16.1
- Platform: Windows 10 x64 Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.885)
- Subsystem: child_process
When calling another process, the exec and execSync commands fail with a ENOMEM error when using an empty object for the options.env variable. Using any non-undefined value at all in the env object makes the call work again.
const { execSync } = require('child_process');
execSync('node', {env: {}}) // Fails with ENOMEM error
execSync('node', {env: {x: undefined}}) // Fails with ENOMEM error
execSync('node', {env: {x: 0}}) // WorksThe error trace:

This did not happen in v10.15.*, and seems to affect v10.16.0 as well.
