User problem

The batched Bun test runner exits before running tests on macOS when GNU timeout is unavailable, and it also used Bash 4-only mapfile even though macOS ships Bash 3.2.

Change

  • Probe for GNU-compatible timeout and fall back to direct Bun execution with an explicit warning when it is unavailable.
  • Replace mapfile with a Bash-3-compatible NUL-delimited read loop.
  • Add focused batch-runner coverage for the non-GNU timeout fallback.

Verification

  • bun test tests/ci-workflows/ci-crash-disposition.test.ts

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • CI test batches now run on systems without GNU timeout, using a portable fallback that preserves batch deadlines.
    • Timed-out batches are stopped, including child processes that ignore termination requests.
    • Batches that require a forced kill are reported as runtime crashes, and batch cleanup continues.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The batch runner now probes GNU timeout support and uses a Perl process-group fallback when GNU options are unavailable. The CI harness tests clean runs, timeout handling for a TERM-ignoring child, and crash disposition for a batch that ignores TERM.

Changes

Timeout fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runner timeout fallback
scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh
The runner probes the GNU timeout option shape. If GNU options are unavailable and Perl is present, it uses a process-group fallback that sends TERM at the deadline and KILL after the grace period. The fallback returns 124 on timeout and 137 when the command needs KILL.
Non-GNU timeout validation
tests/ci-workflows/ci-crash-disposition.test.ts
The harness models a non-GNU timeout tool and adds tests for a clean run, termination of a TERM-ignoring child at the deadline, and crash handling when the batch ignores TERM.

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 785b3

On systems without GNU timeout, such as macOS, the test batch runner now enforces the batch timeout through a portable fallback instead of exiting early. That behavior is tested only on Linux with a simulated timeout, so the macOS result should be reported or explicitly noted as not run. Otherwise the change is mergeable.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep a batch-level deadline in the fallback path.

When GNU timeout is unavailable, this branch starts Bun without the configured ${BATCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS}s process deadline. A stalled Bun process that is not an individual test timeout can then hold the CI shard indefinitely.

Use a portable watchdog that terminates the Bun process or process group after BATCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, or fail explicitly when no bounded fallback is available. Do not bypass the batch deadline.

As per coding guidelines: “Use explicit paths, deterministic inputs, bounded resource use, and actionable failures.” As per path instructions: flag changes that weaken CI gating.

이 PR은 맥에서 테스트 묶음 스크립트가 테스트를 시작하기 전에 꺼지는 문제를 고치려고 합니다.

스크립트 scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh는 테스트 파일을 여러 개씩 묶어 bun test를 돌립니다. 한 묶음이 너무 오래 걸리면 GNU timeout이 그 프로세스를 끊습니다. 끊긴 종료 코드는 124입니다. 맥에는 그 timeout이 없습니다. 맥에 기본으로 있는 배시 3.2는 mapfile도 모릅니다. 그래서 스크립트는 파일을 읽기도 전에 끝났습니다.

고친 뒤의 흐름은 이렇습니다. timeout이 GNU 방식의 옵션을 받는지 먼저 실행해 봅니다. 되면 예전처럼 묶음 제한 시간(기본 120초)을 겁니다. 안 되면 경고 한 줄을 찍고, 제한 없이 bun test만 돌립니다. 테스트 하나당 60초 제한(--timeout 60000)은 양쪽 다 남습니다. mapfile은 빈 칸으로 구분된 이름을 하나씩 읽는 반복으로 바꿨습니다. 테스트는 GNU가 아닌 가짜 timeout이 있어도 정상 실행이 0으로 끝나는지만 확인합니다.

리눅스 CI에는 GNU timeout이 있어서, 그 잡의 동작은 이전과 같습니다. 맥 CI 잡 platform-macos는 이 스크립트를 쓰지 않습니다. bun test를 직접 부릅니다. 이 변경이 실제로 살리는 곳은, 맥에서 이 스크립트를 사람이 직접 실행할 때입니다.

라인 scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh 105-110 - GNU timeout이 없으면 묶음 전체 제한 시간이 사라집니다. 윈도우 잡은 이 값을 480초로 잡아 두었습니다. 프로세스 전체가 멈추면 124로 끊기지 않고, 멈춘 묶음을 파일마다 다시 돌려 원인을 적는 단계도 타지 않습니다. 노트북에서는 사람이 끌 때까지 계속 돌 수 있습니다.

라인 scripts/ci/run-bun-test-batches.sh 186-187 - mapfile은 고쳤지만 파일 목록은 여전히 sort -z입니다. -z는 GNU sort 옵션입니다. 맥 기본 sort는 이 옵션을 거절합니다. timeout 경고를 지나도 목록 단계에서 다시 멈춥니다. 맥에서 테스트를 못 돌리던 결과는 아직 같습니다.

라인 tests/ci-workflows/ci-crash-disposition.test.ts 236-242 - 가짜 timeout이 PATH에 있고, 테스트가 바로 성공할 때만 봅니다. timeout 명령이 아예 없는 경우와, 묶음이 멈췄을 때 끊기는지는 안 봅니다. 이 테스트 묶음은 리눅스에서만 실행됩니다. 맥 배시 3.2에서 읽기 반복이 되는지는 확인되지 않습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

GNU timeout이 없는 기계에서 묶음 제한 시간을 버려도 되는지입니다. CI 잡에는 잡 전체 시간 제한이 따로 있습니다. 로컬 맥에는 없습니다. 윈도우 잡 주석은 480초 프로세스 제한이 필요하다고 적어 두었습니다. 그 기계의 timeout이 GNU가 아니면 480초도 경고만 남기고 빠집니다. 경고로 충분한지, CI에서는 제한 시간이 없으면 스크립트를 실패시킬지가 갈립니다.

너의 추천

지금은 합치지 않는 쪽이 맞습니다. 베이스는 dev입니다. types.ts/config.ts 분할이 아니고, 같은 주제로 열린 다른 PR도 없습니다. mapfile을 읽기 반복으로 바꾼 부분은 그대로 두어도 됩니다. 맥에서 이 스크립트를 돌리려면 sort -z도 맥 sort로 목록이 나오게 바꿔야 합니다. CI가 켜져 있는데 GNU timeout이 없으면 경고만 하고 넘어가지 말고, 스크립트를 실패시키는 편이 안전합니다. 로컬에서만 제한 없이 돌리려면 그 차이를 스크립트에 적어 두면 됩니다.

… batch deadline without GNU timeout

The fallback ran Bun with no batch deadline when GNU timeout was missing,
so a wedged batch on macOS ran until the job's wall clock. It now keeps
the same contract as timeout --signal=TERM --kill-after=GRACE SECONDS:

- The batch runs through perl setpgrp as the leader of its own process
  group, as it does under GNU timeout.
- A watchdog sends TERM (then CONT) to the group at the deadline, waits up
  to the grace period for the group to empty, then sends KILL. Its output
  goes to /dev/null so it never holds the tee pipe.
- A timed-out batch reports 124, or 137 when the batch itself needed KILL,
  matching GNU timeout; INT, TERM and HUP are forwarded to the group.
- Without GNU timeout and without perl the runner still exits 69.

dev already replaced mapfile, so the merge keeps dev's loop and its
PARALLEL_ARG. macOS sort accepts -z, so the NUL-delimited listing stays.

Tests run the real runner without GNU timeout: a clean run stays green, a
hung batch whose child ignores TERM exits 124 with the child gone, and a
batch that ignores TERM itself exits 137.

Report the macOS validation status for the portable deadline.

The tests force the non-GNU branch with timeoutTool: "non-gnu", but they do not execute it on macOS. The fallback depends on macOS behavior for setpgrp, negative-process-group kill -0, and the trapped-signal wait loop. Add the macOS result to the PR, or state explicitly that macOS validation was not executed. Include whether the hang cases return 124/137 and remove a TERM-ignoring child.

Maintainer update: pushed 785b3b319c to this branch (current dev merged, plus the missing batch deadline).

The review was right that the fallback ran Bun with no batch deadline, so a wedged batch on a Mac would run until someone killed it. Without GNU timeout, the runner now matches timeout --signal=TERM --kill-after=GRACE SECONDS:

  • The batch starts through perl setpgrp, so it leads its own process group, as it does under GNU timeout. At BUN_TEST_BATCH_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, a watchdog sends TERM (then CONT) to the whole group. It waits up to BUN_TEST_BATCH_KILL_GRACE_SECONDS for the group to empty, then sends KILL. The watchdog writes to /dev/null, so it never holds the tee pipe open.
  • A timed-out batch reports 124, or 137 when the batch itself needed KILL. Those are the same statuses GNU timeout gives, so the existing disposition treats them the same way: timeout, or runtime crash with the attribution sweep. INT, TERM and HUP are forwarded to the group.
  • With neither GNU timeout nor perl, the runner still exits 69.

On the other review points: dev had already replaced mapfile, so the merge keeps dev's loop and its PARALLEL_ARG. sort -z is fine on macOS: the system sort (2.3-Apple) accepts -z and sorts NUL-delimited input. The tests now run the real runner behind a timeout that rejects GNU options. A clean run stays green. A hung batch whose child ignores TERM exits 124, and the child is gone afterwards; the run could only return once the child was killed, because the child held the output pipe. A batch that ignores TERM itself exits 137. These cases run on the Linux and macOS test legs.

Local checks were not run for this push; hosted Cross-platform CI on 785b3b319c is the evidence (run 35823645200).

Follow-up from an independent review of the new function, not pushed because this PR was merged at this head: if the runner itself receives TERM (for example a whole-group kill) while a batch that ignores TERM is running, the wrapper forwards TERM and the watchdog exits on the same signal, so nothing escalates to KILL and the pipeline can hang. GNU timeout has the same exposure only for its own group; the fix is to make the watchdog, once the deadline has fired, always finish with the group KILL on its own termination, and to write the timeout marker atomically. Hosted Linux and Windows legs use GNU timeout, so this affects only the portable path.
