node.js: how to use setInterval and clearInterval?

Question

This is my JS in nodeJS :

function test(a, room, seconds) {
    console.log(a, room, seconds);
}

intervalid = setInterval(test, 1000, \'room\', 20);
console         


        

Answer 1

This just caught me. Exactly the same scenario, clearInterval simply wasn't working.

Looking in the console, the result of setInterval was an object, not a number. I was quite confused.

The solution was to remove this import statement, which had snuck in:

import { setInterval } from 'timers';
