doc: streams must be open to be passed to child
spawn stdio options can be a 'stream', but the following code fails with "Incorrect value for stdio stream: [object Object]", despite being a stream. The problem is the test isn't really for a stream, its for an object with a numeric `.fd` property, and streams do not have an fd until their async 'open' event has occurred. This is reasonable, but was not documented. child_process.spawn('date', [], {stdio: [ 'ignore', fs.createWriteStream('out.txt',{flags:'a'}), 'ignore']})pull/41362/head
