`executionScopeDepth` does not make sense if concurrent async operations

Closed this issue · 1 comments

As far as I can tell, executionScopeDepth doesn't really make sense if multiple async operations are happening at once. Rather than being a "depth," it sounds like it represents the total # of active async contexts, right? In an active server, it may never reach 0. Is my interpretation correct?

Only in the current turn (partial tick) of the process.

It most definitely will each 0. Again, the depth is only in terms of layered execution of emitBefore. An example is setTimeout. In most cases executionScopeDepth will either be 1 or 0.
