AbortSignal.timeout throws RangeError with any decimal number input #58592
Description
Version
v24.1.0
Platform
Subsystem
No response
What steps will reproduce the bug?
The bug is easy to reproduce using the timeout function with a decimal.
AbortSignal.timeout(1.1)How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
It always produces the same error.
What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?
I'd expect it to work with all numbers, including decimal numbers, within the range of 0 and Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. Browsers and other JS runtimes all seem to allow decimals. There is no mention of this special behavior in the NodeJS docs.
What do you see instead?
Uncaught:
RangeError [ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE]: The value of "delay" is out of range. It must be an integer. Received 1.1
at AbortSignal.timeout (node:internal/abort_controller:239:5) {
code: 'ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE'
