[dependabot]

Bumps node-opcua from 2.175.3 to 2.179.0.

Release notes

Sourced from node-opcua's releases.

v2.179.0

node-opcua 2.179.0

Compare: v2.178.0...v2.179.0

A robustness and performance release. The client's keep-alive and transaction handling no longer mistake a slow link for a dead server; the encoding path is measurably cheaper; and a family of lifecycle races in the server and address space was found and fixed after the test suite was moved to a parallel runner. Also a full biome pass across the monorepo (0 errors / 0 warnings) and a new CI gate for fixed test ports.

🚀 Features

BinaryStream

• Optional growable mode: the stream can now extend its own buffer instead of requiring the final size up front, which is what lets the extension-object encoder backpatch rather than pre-size. [3cc5ad771]

🐛 Fixes

Client — connection liveness

A connected client could conclude a healthy server had gone away, or quietly lose a request that was still in flight. These are one theme, fixed together:

• client: keep-alive must not treat a timed-out transaction as contact with the server — a slow answer was being read as a dead one. [d10f2aa1d]
• client: a ServiceFault is genuine server contact; treating it as silence could tear down a working session. [cce2c1a4b]
• client: anchor session lifetime on the last answer actually received. [9cbe6e93d]
• client: subscription lifetime must not count unanswered publishes. [1f4fb6688]
• client: hold transactions while the connection is down, and always resolve them — previously a caller could wait forever. [fc695694d]
• client: stop orphaning a transaction that hits BadSessionIdInvalid. [114785c5c]
• client: the keep-alive scheduler no longer delays and wedges itself. [910bc68cf]
• secure-channel: deliver an abandoned request like any other ServiceFault, so the caller gets an answer rather than nothing. [65d35487d]

Encoding / dataTypes

• dynamic-extension-object: pair each DataType with its own description. The 1.03 loader zipped two arrays by index, but abstract types are skipped, so after the first skip the pairing drifted — encodings were attached to the wrong description and several standard classes (FetchResultDataType, TransferResultErrorDataType, ParameterResultDataType, TransferResultDataDataType) were never registered at all. A client needing one of them failed far from the cause. The assert that would have caught this had been commented out with "in some circumstances like Euromap, this assert fails" — it was right to fail, and is restored. [cc88e240d]
• dynamic-extension-object: report unregistered dataTypes once, by name, instead of scattered log lines that nobody reads. [2ac9951a4]
• client-dynamic-extension-object: restore the null-NodeId fallback for enumeration fields. [f1bbad1ac]
• variant: Variant.clone is a true deep copy — the shallow copy leaked shared state between values. [66a4f0127] plus the follow-up repair of what that exposed. [9e21a605b]

Server

• server: suspendConnection now waits for the listener to be released. It called back while close() was still in flight, so restoreConnection could re-listen on a port the old handle still held — an EADDRINUSE out of resumeEndPoints, hit during certificate rotation. [f3154ecfe]
• server: createSession refuses with BadServerHalted once the engine is shutting down. A request already in flight could land after the address space was disposed and surface as Cannot read properties of null (reading 'findDataType') from a promise nobody awaited — taking the process down rather than failing one request. [f3154ecfe]
• server: scale a channel's listener ceiling with its session count. [c647f7006]
• server: default writeAttribute statusCode to Good instead of rejecting. [00534f6cf]
• server: correct createSubscriptionDiagnosticsArray browseName and options [be070ca65], and restore the explicit namespace-0 browseName for SubscriptionDiagnosticsArray. [a459eaf27]

Address space

• address-space: UAVariable.readValueAsync must honour isAccessRestricted. [8f13f6a9e]
• address-space: stop asking massively-used types to drop absent references. _propagate_ref never installs back references for HasTypeDefinition / HasModellingRule — "because there are too many" — but removal did not mirror that, so detaching any node produced Cannot find reference to remove. 101 of them in a single CI run. [0f43a1afc]
• role-set: rebind Identities to the store so bindRoleSet cannot shadow it. [08fb5a940]

⚡ Performance

• secure-channel: encode each message once instead of twice. [31818de36]
• data-value: DataValue.clone no longer copies its payload twice. [194cf151e]
• extension-object: backpatch the body length instead of pre-sizing the buffer. [168f87d4c]
• variant: memoise the built-in codec per numeric DataType [83ade33ae]; index the typed-array helper table numerically [ac06826ee].
