[Bug]: Invalid environment/flags from parent cause Workers to fail when using worker_threads

[aaronovz1]

Version

4.3

Platform

NodeJS

What happened?

Currently when using worker_threads and supplying an unsupported flag to the parent application, workers will throw. For example, when using --max-old-space-size the worker will fail with:

[ERR_WORKER_INVALID_EXEC_ARGV]: Initiated Worker with invalid execArgv flags: --max_old_space_size=1500

How to reproduce.

Ok. What would be the action to take from our side?

[aaronovz1]

execArgv could be filtered or allowed to be passed from the user side instead of passing in the values from the parent/main process:

bullmq/src/classes/child.ts

Line 82 in 59d4d1d

execArgv,

I managed to figure out this very dirty workaround for now though.
At the start of main() or before creating bullmq workers:
process.execArgv = process.execArgv.filter((arg) => !arg.includes("--max-old-space-size="));
