Hi @joyeecheung, could you please take a look at this PR when you have a chance? It fixes an issue where fs.readFile() with a numeric file descriptor and the new buffer option could lose errors on the user-FD path. I've added regression tests covering the affected scenarios. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

Summary
fs.readFile()with a numeric file descriptor and the newbufferoption could lose errors on the user-fd path.Root cause
In
lib/internal/fs/read/context.js,ReadFileContext.close(err)did not forwarderrwhenisUserFdwas true. As a result, failures that should have reached the callback, including an undersized caller-provided buffer, could be treated as successful completion.Fix
Forward the close error for user-supplied file descriptors so the final callback receives the actual failure instead of silently succeeding.
Tests
Add regression coverage for the numeric file descriptor path with:
This verifies the error is preserved for the callback-based API.
