Worker threads and Native addons requiring

[romainmnr]

Hi everyone !

I'm facing a problem using worker thread API and native addon (c++).
My purpose is to call native addon functions in a seperate thread to avoid blocking the main thread.
To do that i need to require my addon in each thread i'm creating but i have the error :

Error: Module did not self-register.

As it's written in the documentation, the worker_thread API doesn't support native addon for now..

My question is do you have an estimation date of this feature ?

Thanks.

Hi @bnoordhuis ,

There are multiple open issues relating to integrated in the way you are hoping for. In short, it is "in the works" I believe: #23265 and nodejs/user-feedback#51

Requiring n-api modules in worker threads are supported AFAIK, tested on 10.15.1 and 11.9.0.

Could you require the native module in main module? i.e without worker threads.
