Add BUN_WATCHER_TRACE environment variable for debugging file watcher events#23533
Conversation
… events Implements BUN_WATCHER_TRACE env var that logs all file watcher events to a file in JSON format. When set, the watcher appends detailed event information including timestamp, file path, and operation flags (write, delete, rename, metadata, move_to) plus any changed filenames. The trace file is opened once during watcher initialization in append mode, allowing events to persist across multiple runs of bun --watch or bun --hot. This is useful for debugging watch-related issues. Example usage: BUN_WATCHER_TRACE=/tmp/watch.log bun --watch script.js Each line in the trace file is a JSON object with: - timestamp: millisecond timestamp - index: watch item index - path: absolute file path being watched - delete/write/rename/metadata/move_to: boolean operation flags - changed_files: array of filenames that changed 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

src/watcher/KEventWatcher.zig (1)
96-96: LGTM! Trace call is correctly placed.The trace call is properly positioned within the mutex-protected section before
onFileUpdate, ensuring thread-safe access to watcher state. The slice bounds are correctly matched between events and filepaths.src/watcher/WindowsWatcher.zig (1)
296-296: LGTM! Trace integration is correct.The trace call correctly uses the same event and filepath slices as
onFileUpdate, ensuring consistent trace data for the batched events.src/watcher/INotifyWatcher.zig (1)
355-355: LGTM! Trace integration is consistent.The trace call uses the same slices as
onFileUpdate(line 356), ensuring the trace accurately reflects the events being processed.src/Watcher.zig (4)
7-7: LGTM! Import follows project conventions.The import statement follows the coding guidelines for Zig imports.
99-100: LGTM! Initialization is properly placed.Trace initialization occurs after platform setup, which is the correct order. The comment clearly explains the purpose.
105-109: LGTM! Public API is clean and well-documented.The delegation pattern is appropriate, and the documentation clarifies that no locking is needed due to execution on the watcher thread.
257-258: LGTM! Cleanup is in the right place.Trace deinitialization is correctly positioned in the cleanup section of
threadMain, ensuring the trace file is closed before the watcher is destroyed.test/cli/watch/watcher-trace.test.ts (5)
1-5: LGTM! Imports follow testing guidelines.The test file correctly uses
bun:testand harness utilities as per the coding guidelines.
6-89: LGTM! Comprehensive test coverage.The test properly validates:
- Trace file creation
- JSON structure and field types
- Multiple event types (create, modify, delete)
The use of
await usingfor cleanup and proper process lifecycle management follows best practices.
91-168: LGTM! --watch integration is well-tested.The test validates trace behavior with
--watchmode and confirms that script.js events have the write flag set. The process handling follows the coding guidelines for spawning Bun processes.
170-200: LGTM! Empty path behavior is correctly validated.The test confirms that an empty
BUN_WATCHER_TRACEpath prevents trace file creation, which aligns with the feature's design.
202-281: LGTM! Append behavior is thoroughly tested.The test validates that the trace file is correctly appended across multiple runs, confirming the append-only design described in the PR objectives.
src/watcher/WatcherTrace.zig (4)
1-6: LGTM! Module structure is clean.The imports and module-level optional file descriptor are appropriate for this use case. Since the watcher runs on its own thread and initialization occurs before the thread starts, thread safety is not a concern.
10-27: LGTM! Initialization is defensive.The function correctly:
- Guards against re-initialization
- Uses appropriate flags (WRONLY | CREAT | APPEND) for trace files
- Silently ignores errors, as intended for a non-critical debugging feature
34-43: Consider buffer overflow for events with long paths.The fixed 16KB buffer (line 34) is reset per event (line 42). If a single event with very long paths or many changed files exceeds 16KB, the write will silently fail due to the
catch returnat line 49 and beyond.While unlikely with typical file paths, deeply nested directories or many changed files could exceed this limit. Consider one of the following:
- Use a dynamic buffer that grows as needed (e.g.,
std.ArrayList(u8))- Add a check after formatting to log a warning if the buffer is full
- Document the limitation in a comment
Based on learnings (Zig debug logging), you could add:
const log = bun.Output.scoped(.watcher_trace, .hidden);Then before line 98:
if (stream.pos >= buf.len - 1) { log("Warning: trace event truncated due to buffer size", .{}); }
103-108: LGTM! Cleanup is straightforward.The deinitialization properly closes the file descriptor and clears the module variable.
WalkthroughIntroduces optional watcher event tracing controlled by the BUN_WATCHER_TRACE environment variable. Initializes tracing on watcher startup, writes JSON-line events during batch processing across platforms, and deinitializes on shutdown. Adds a new tracing module and integrates calls in INotify, KEvent, and Windows watcher paths. Includes end-to-end tests. Changes

98-99: LGTM!The trace initialization is properly placed after platform initialization in the watcher setup.
104-108: LGTM!The public API correctly delegates to WatcherTrace.writeEvents, providing a clean interface for trace emission across platform-specific watchers.
256-257: LGTM!The trace cleanup is correctly positioned in the thread shutdown path after the watchlist is deinitialized.
691-691: LGTM!The import placement follows the established pattern.
src/watcher/WatcherTrace.zig (5)
4-23: LGTM!The initialization correctly:
- Checks the BUN_WATCHER_TRACE environment variable
- Opens the file in append mode for multi-run scenarios
- Is idempotent (safe to call multiple times)
- Silently ignores errors, appropriate for a debug-only feature
30-42: Buffer overflow is handled but events may be truncated.The fixed 16384-byte buffer could overflow if:
- A path is very long (approaching MAX_PATH_BYTES ~4K)
- Multiple changed_files entries exist
- Escaping doubles the path length
However, all writer operations catch errors and return early (lines 45-91), so there's no crash risk. Events may be silently truncated if the buffer is exceeded, which is acceptable for a debug-only tracing feature.
44-71: LGTM!The manual JSON construction correctly:
- Escapes quotes and backslashes in the path (lines 52-57)
- Writes all required fields with proper types
- Uses catch-and-return for error handling
72-95: LGTM with minor note on ignored write errors.The changed_files array is correctly constructed with proper escaping and comma separators. Line 94 ignores the write return value, so partial writes could leave incomplete JSON lines. However, this is acceptable for a debug-only feature that shouldn't impact functionality.
98-108: LGTM!The cleanup correctly closes the file descriptor and resets the global state. Imports follow Zig conventions by being placed at the bottom of the file.
test/cli/watch/watcher-trace.test.ts (3)
91-168: LGTM!The test correctly:
- Uses
bunExe()andbunEnvfrom harness- Spawns Bun with proper stdio handling
- Validates trace file creation and JSON structure
- Checks for expected events with write flags
170-200: LGTM!The test correctly validates that an empty BUN_WATCHER_TRACE path does not create trace files, using Bun.Glob instead of shell commands to check for files.
202-281: LGTM!The test correctly validates that the trace file is appended across multiple watcher runs, ensuring the O_APPEND flag works as expected.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial
Use Node.js fs API instead of shell command.
The shell command rm should be replaced with Node.js built-in APIs for better portability and alignment with test guidelines.
As per coding guidelines
Apply this diff:
+ import { unlinkSync } from "node:fs";
// Delete the file
await Bun.write(join(String(dir), "delete.txt"), "to be deleted");

115-132: Fix resource leak: Close trace file in all deinit paths.
WatcherTrace.deinit()is only called inthreadMain()(line 257), which requiresstart()to have been called. However, if a watcher is initialized but never started,deinit()takes the else branch (lines 122-131) and never closes the trace file. This violates the coding guideline: "In Zig code, manage memory carefully and use defer for cleanup of allocations/resources."Apply this diff to ensure cleanup in all paths:
} else { if (close_descriptors and this.running) { const fds = this.watchlist.items(.fd); for (fds) |fd| { fd.close(); } } this.watchlist.deinit(this.allocator); + WatcherTrace.deinit(); const allocator = this.allocator; allocator.destroy(this); }Based on coding guidelines.

1-23: LGTM! Clean initialization with appropriate error handling.The initialization logic correctly:
- Uses idempotent check to prevent redundant opens
- Opens the trace file with append mode to preserve history across runs
- Silently ignores open errors, which is appropriate for an optional debug feature
82-88: LGTM!Clean resource cleanup with proper null check.
90-92: LGTM!Imports correctly placed at the bottom of the file and use the proper
@import("bun")style.Based on coding guidelines.

Instead of a bunch of booleans it should just be an array of events that happened

- GitHub Check: Format
Changed format from one line per event to grouped format:
- Before: {"timestamp": N, "path": "...", "events": [...], ...} (repeated)
- After: {"timestamp": N, "files": {"path": {"events": [...], "changed": [...]}}}
This reduces repetition since timestamp is now shared across all events
in a single trace line. The "changed" field is only included when there
are changed files.

Wait for the reload to complete before killing the watcher process. Previously the test would write a modification and immediately exit, which could cause the test to be flaky if the watcher hadn't processed the change yet. Now the test waits for both: 1. Initial run printing "ready" 2. Reload after modification printing "modified" This ensures the trace file is written before we verify its contents. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

23-36: LGTM! Proper deterministic wait logic implemented.The implementation correctly waits for the initial run, triggers the modification, and then waits for the reload before terminating the process. This addresses the previous review feedback about potential race conditions.
152-182: LGTM! Good edge case coverage.The test correctly validates that an empty
BUN_WATCHER_TRACEpath prevents trace file creation, and properly usesBun.Globinstead of shell commands.As per coding guidelines
1-263: Excellent test coverage and adherence to guidelines.The test suite comprehensively covers the BUN_WATCHER_TRACE feature:
- Basic trace file creation with proper reload synchronization
- Multiple reload scenarios
- Edge case handling (empty path)
- Append behavior across process runs
All tests follow the coding guidelines:
- ✅ Uses
bun:test,bunExe(),bunEnv, andtempDirfrom harness- ✅ Proper process lifecycle with
Bun.spawn,proc.kill(), andawait proc.exited- ✅ Uses
Bun.Globinstead of shell commands- ✅ Deterministic output monitoring instead of sleeps
- ✅ Proper timeout values
As per coding guidelines
- Use Array.isArray() instead of nullish check for more defensive code - Clarify comment explaining bootstrap logic in append test Addresses CodeRabbit review feedback for better code clarity. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

6-76: LGTM! Comprehensive test with proper race condition handling.This test correctly implements the fix for the race condition mentioned in past reviews. It waits for both the initial run and the reload before terminating the process, ensuring the trace file is populated. The JSON validation is thorough and checks all required fields including optional fields.
78-150: Good test coverage with proper type checking.The test correctly validates trace file creation and JSON structure. The Array.isArray check on line 140 properly addresses the past review comment for defensive type checking.
152-182: Good negative test case.This test properly verifies that an empty BUN_WATCHER_TRACE value doesn't create trace files. The use of Bun.Glob to scan for files follows the coding guidelines.
184-263: Excellent test for append behavior with clear bootstrap logic.This test properly validates that trace events append across multiple process runs. The clarifying comment at line 240 makes the bootstrap logic clear, addressing the past review comment.

6-23: LGTM! Clean initialization with appropriate error handling.The idempotency check, environment variable handling, and append-only file opening are all correct. Silent error handling is acceptable for an optional debug feature.
28-59: Well-structured JSON writing with proper buffering and escaping.The buffered writer and

6-76: Excellent test coverage with proper synchronization.This test correctly:
- Uses

- Validates JSON structure comprehensively
- Uses harness utilities as per guidelines
78-150: LGTM! Thorough validation of watch flag behavior.The test properly iterates through multiple runs and validates:
- Trace file creation
- JSON structure compliance
- Specific script.js event detection
- Uses
Array.isArraycheck as previously suggested (line 140)
152-182: Good negative test case using Bun's built-in tools.Correctly validates that an empty
BUN_WATCHER_TRACEdoesn't create trace files. Properly usesBun.Globinstead of shell commands as per guidelines.
184-263: Excellent test of append mode persistence.This test validates that trace data persists and appends across separate Bun process runs. The clarifying comment at lines 240-241 addresses previous feedback about the bootstrap logic. The validation correctly checks that the second run produces more trace lines.
All for-await loops now consistently use 'chunk' as the variable name when iterating over proc.stdout, matching the first test's pattern. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

1-2: LGTM: Module-level state is safe for single-threaded watcher.The module-level mutable
trace_fileis acceptable given the documented single-threaded watcher design (see line 26 comment).
6-23: LGTM: Initialization is correct and defensive.The function properly checks for empty paths, uses appropriate file flags (append mode for multi-run debugging), and silently ignores errors, which is suitable for an optional debug feature.
28-113: Event serialization and JSON formatting are correct.The function properly:
- Uses
bun.fmt.formatJSONStringUTF8for escaping (addressing past review concerns)- Handles missing file paths defensively with "(unknown)" fallback
- Conditionally includes "changed" array only when present
- Manages JSON structure correctly with proper comma placement
116-121: LGTM: Cleanup is correct.Properly closes the file and nullifies the handle to prevent double-close.
Replace repetitive if-statements with a comptime loop over event.op fields. This reduces code duplication and automatically handles any future event types added to the Op struct. Uses std.meta.fields to iterate over fields and filters for bool types only to skip internal fields like _padding. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Learning: In Bun's codebase, when checking import record source indices in src/bundler/LinkerGraph.zig, prefer using `if (import_index >= self.import_records.len)` bounds checking over `isValid()` checks, as the bounds check is more robust and `isValid()` is a strict subset of this condition.

8-27: LGTM! Clean initialization and cleanup.The lazy initialization pattern in
init()is appropriate, properly checking for the environment variable and opening the file with correct flags (append mode, create if needed). The silent error handling aligns with the PR objectives stating that trace file errors should not break functionality. Thedeinit()function correctly closes the file handle and resets the module state.Also applies to: 105-111
29-103: Excellent implementation! All past review concerns addressed.The
writeEvents()function demonstrates thoughtful design:
- BufferedWriter with error logging (lines 35-38): Addresses past concerns about silent flush failures
- Proper JSON escaping (lines 61, 93): Uses
bun.fmt.formatJSONStringUTF8to handle control characters correctly- Comptime reflection for event types (lines 65-74): Elegantly iterates over event operation fields, filtering for bool types only, avoiding duplication and handling padding fields correctly
- Conditional changed files array (lines 77-97): Only written when
has_changedis true, producing cleaner JSON- Bounds checking (line 54): Properly validates
event.indexbefore accessing file pathsThe silent error handling (
catch return) is appropriate for an optional debug feature per the PR objectives. The JSON structure is well-formed and line-delimited as specified.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion | 🟠 Major
Move import directives to the bottom of the file.
The coding guideline states: "Place @import directives at the bottom of Zig files". The current placement at the top violates this guideline. Past review comments suggest imports were originally at line 124 (near the bottom), indicating this is the expected pattern in the codebase.
As per coding guidelines.
Move these three import statements to the bottom of the file (after the deinit() function) while keeping the correct @import("bun") usage:
-const std = @import("std");
-const bun = @import("bun");
-const Watcher = @import("../Watcher.zig");

var trace_file: ?bun.sys.File = null;
/// Initialize trace file if BUN_WATCHER_TRACE env var is set.

In src/watcher/WatcherTrace.zig around lines 1 to 3, the three @import
directives are at the top but must be moved to the bottom per project
guidelines; relocate the lines `const std = @import("std");`, `const bun =
@import("bun");`, and `const Watcher = @import("../Watcher.zig");` to the end of

Summary
Adds
BUN_WATCHER_TRACEenvironment variable that logs all file watcher events to a JSON file for debugging. When set, the watcher appends detailed event information to the specified file path.Motivation
Debugging watch-related issues (especially with
bun --watchandbun --hot) can be difficult without visibility into what the watcher is actually seeing. This feature provides detailed trace logs showing exactly which files are being watched and what events are triggered.Implementation
src/watcher/WatcherTrace.zig) - All trace logic in separate fileUsage
