Include the current working directory in the error
message for a failing process.chdir() since that is
usually information relevant for debugging.

This is semver-major because it moves properties
of the error message object.

Inspired by nodejs/help#1355.

Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes

Resume Build did not work out. Let's try this instead for the only failed platform (Windows): https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-windows-fanned/19064/

EDIT: Green! All good on CI front.

LGTM with a question about a potential edge case

src/node_process.cc
// be helpful information when debugging a `chdir()` failure.
char buf[CHDIR_BUFSIZE];
size_t cwd_len = sizeof(buf);
uv_cwd(buf, &cwd_len);

Is it possible that uv_cwd here returns something different from the original cwd? (I am thinking about Windows since libuv calls SetCurrentDirectoryW after SetCurrentDirectoryW and SetEnvironmentVariableW might fail even after SetCurrentDirectoryW succeeds)

@joyeecheung I guess so? It’s not really clear to me how SetEnvironmentVariableW could fail with a runtime error…

I don’t think we really need to worry about it? It’s going to be pretty rare, I think
