function createSasTokenTimer() {    
    console.log("Hello");
}

setInterval(createSasTokenTimer, 3000000);

I run this code and after 50 minutes I get the following error:

Hello
timers.js:265
    callback.apply(this, args);
            ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined

    at wrapper [as _onTimeout] (timers.js:265:13)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:110:15)

When the interval time is shorter (2000000 for example), everything works fine.

Is this a bug in Node.js?

Update:

OS: Windows, Node.js version: 0.12.4

When I run only the code above it works fine, but it does break when it's inside my application, I can't point to which part of my code breaks it as it's very lengthy and nothing looks "suspicious". Anyway, when the interval is shorter it works as I wrote.

• looks like TaskQueue is invalidating the callback after certain amount of time. I will e try to get the proof to claim assumption and will write an answer to it. BTW nice observation. – Gaurav Gupta Commented Jul 15, 2015 at 8:11
• 2 @janiv Is this the only code running? – Tasos Vogiatzoglou Commented Jul 17, 2015 at 10:01
• 1 @janiv I've tested the code, and it seems to work. Is this the only thing running? Like, is there a possibility for the function to be undefined ? – Tasos Vogiatzoglou Commented Jul 19, 2015 at 10:20
• 2 It looks like a bug in interaction between native C++ binding and V8 garbage collector. This should be easily fixed by keeping object returned by setInterval. I'm digging in. – Ginden Commented Jul 21, 2015 at 12:30
• 2 Node.js implementation of setTimeout and setInterval returns an object. Browsers return an integer. – Ginden Commented Jul 21, 2015 at 17:40

Instead of calling the Function Directly give it inside a callback.

function createSasTokenTimer() {    
  console.log("Hello");
}

setInterval(function(){
 createSasTokenTimer();
}, 3000000);

Using this method, you are passing an anonymous function to setInterval. It will call this function once per interval, which is 3000000 miliseconds in this example.

For now, you can probably just use this code. For further understanding, I suggest researching anonymous functions and closures.

Hope this helps.

To me this looks like a non standard modual that you are using instead of the native modual. Look at global.process.moduleLoadList it should have the entries

 'NativeModule timers',
 'Binding timer_wrap',

And check your code that you are not importing 3rd party timers.js
