The valkey (redis) client caches onclose and onconnect callback values without validating that they are callable. When a connection event fires, the cached value is passed to .call() which triggers an assertion failure in Bun__JSValue__call if the value is not a function.

Root cause: setOnConnect and setOnClose store any JS value via the codegen cache, and onValkeyClose, failWithJSValue, and onValkeyConnect retrieve and invoke them without checking isCallable().

Fix: Add isCallable() guards at the three call sites before invoking the cached callbacks.

Repro:

const redis = new Bun.RedisClient("redis://localhost:6379");
redis.onclose = 42;
try { await redis.connect(); } catch(e) {}
try { redis.close(); } catch(e) {}

Verification (robobun): Zig diff adds isCallable() guards at all three call sites in js_valkey.zig (onValkeyConnect, onValkeyClose, failWithJSValue) — minimal and correct. Regression test spawns subprocesses with non-callable onclose=42 / onconnect="not a function", asserts exitCode === 0; on main this crashes via assertion failure in Bun__JSValue__call. All bot review feedback addressed across iterations (.toBe(0), stderr removal, autoReconnect: false, test.concurrent). No TODO/FIXME/HACK in diff. Lint JavaScript passes. Buildkite #41347 shows 0 job/step failures; "failing" state is from infrastructure error annotation (macOS runners expired), not code.

Walkthrough

Guard checks were added so Valkey client lifecycle callbacks (onconnect, onclose) are only scheduled or invoked when callable; microtask scheduling, event-loop enter/exit, and exception-reporting are skipped for non-callable callbacks. New tests verify connect/close do not crash when callbacks are non-callable.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Valkey client runtime
src/valkey/js_valkey.zig
Added isCallable() checks before ensuring liveness, scheduling microtasks, or invoking onconnect/onclose; skips microtask queueing, event-loop enter/exit, and exception-unhandled reporting when callbacks are not callable.
Tests for non-callable callbacks
test/js/valkey/valkey-non-callable-callback.test.ts
New tests spawn Bun subprocesses that assign non-callable values to onconnect/onclose, call connect()/close() (errors suppressed), and assert subprocesses exit with code 0.

🔴 The 'non-callable onconnect does not crash' test never exercises the onValkeyConnect code path because it connects to localhost:6379 where no Redis server is running in CI, so connection failure triggers onValkeyClose instead. The test passes trivially with or without the isCallable() guard added to onValkeyConnect, providing zero regression protection for that specific fix.

Extended reasoning...

The test at lines 27-48 of valkey-non-callable-callback.test.ts sets redis.onconnect to a non-callable string and attempts to connect to localhost:6379 with no running Redis server. In CI, this always results in a connection-refused error.

onValkeyConnect in js_valkey.zig is only invoked after a successful connection — specifically after TCP connection is established AND the HELLO handshake completes (status becomes .connected). The isCallable() guard added in this PR lives inside that function. When no server is listening at localhost:6379, the TCP connection is refused, causing the socket handler's onConnectError/onClose to fire. This calls onValkeyClose, not onValkeyConnect.

The main Valkey test suite guards Redis availability with an isEnabled check backed by Docker. The new test file has no such guard, unconditionally connecting to localhost:6379. Without a running server, the connection-refused path is always taken and onValkeyConnect is never reached.

The isCallable() guard added to onValkeyConnect is effectively untested. If that guard were accidentally removed in a future refactor, this test would still pass because no server means no onValkeyConnect call means no crash regardless. Any regression to the onconnect non-callable fix would go undetected. By contrast, the first test ('non-callable onclose does not crash') IS valid because connection failure always triggers onValkeyClose.

Step-by-step proof: (1) Test spawns subprocess setting redis.onconnect = 'not a function' then calling redis.connect(). (2) Bun attempts TCP to localhost:6379 — no server is listening. (3) OS returns ECONNREFUSED. (4) SocketHandler.onConnectError fires, calls this.client.onClose(). (5) onValkeyClose is invoked — it checks oncloseGetCached, not onconnectGetCached. (6) onValkeyConnect is never called; the isCallable() guard at ~line 884 is never reached. (7) Test checks exitCode !== 6 and no ASSERTION FAILED in stderr — both pass trivially.

To properly test the onconnect fix, the test would need either a running Redis server (or mock completing the HELLO handshake), or should use the same Docker-backed isEnabled guard as the existing Valkey integration tests.

LGTM — all prior review concerns have been addressed.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR modifies src/valkey/js_valkey.zig to add isCallable() guards at three call sites (onValkeyConnect, onValkeyClose, failWithJSValue) before invoking cached JS callbacks, and adds a new test file test/js/valkey/valkey-non-callable-callback.test.ts.

Security risks

None. The change only adds defensive guards that skip callback invocation when the stored value is not callable. No auth, crypto, or permission code is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Low. This is a targeted defensive fix — three nearly identical two-line additions wrapping existing call sites. The pattern matches what the rest of the codebase does when invoking user-supplied callbacks.

Other factors

All issues raised in prior review rounds were addressed: autoReconnect: false prevents indefinite subprocess hangs, test.concurrent is used for both independent subprocess tests, expect(exitCode).toBe(0) replaces the broken .not.toBe(6) assertion, and the prohibited stderr assertion checks were removed. The residual limitation that the onconnect test cannot reach onValkeyConnect without a running Redis server is already noted in an unresolved inline comment and is a test coverage gap rather than a correctness issue with the fix itself.

LGTM — all prior feedback addressed, Zig fix is correct.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files changed: src/valkey/js_valkey.zig adds isCallable() guards at three call sites (onValkeyConnect, onValkeyClose, failWithJSValue) before invoking cached onconnect/onclose callbacks. test/js/valkey/valkey-non-callable-callback.test.ts adds two subprocess-based regression tests.

Security risks

No security-sensitive code touched. The change is purely defensive: guard against invoking non-callable JS values that were stored in the codegen cache.

Level of scrutiny

This is a focused crash fix in the Valkey client lifecycle callbacks. The Zig change is minimal and mechanical — three isCallable() guard wraps around existing call sites, following the same pattern used elsewhere in the JS runtime. Low complexity, low blast radius.

Other factors

All issues from prior review rounds were addressed: autoReconnect: false prevents subprocess hangs, test.concurrent used, expect(exitCode).toBe(0) used, stderr assertion removed. The one remaining acknowledged gap — the onconnect test not actually reaching onValkeyConnect without a running Redis server — is noted in the PR description and does not affect the correctness of the fix. The onclose regression test is valid and will detect the primary crash scenario.

Check isCallable() before invoking cached onclose/onconnect callbacks
in the valkey client. Previously, setting these to a non-function value
(e.g. redis.onclose = 42) would trigger an assertion failure in
Bun__JSValue__call when the connection closed.
Prevents subprocess from hanging due to 20 retry attempts when no
Redis server is available. Also removes unnecessary Bun.sleep and
uses test.concurrent for independent subprocess tests.

Security risks

None. The change only adds defensive callability checks before invoking JS callbacks; it does not touch auth, crypto, permissions, or any sensitive subsystem.

Level of scrutiny

The Zig change is a straightforward three-location guard addition with no logic changes — each hunk simply wraps an existing call in if (on_close/on_connect.isCallable()). The test file is a new addition with no impact on existing tests. Appropriate scrutiny level is low.

Other factors

All concerns raised in prior review rounds have been resolved in the current revision: test.concurrent is used for both tests, autoReconnect: false is set to prevent subprocess hangs, expect(exitCode).toBe(0) is used (not the weaker .not.toBe(6)), and the prohibited stderr assertion checks were removed. CI (Buildkite #41999) shows the infra failure is a macOS runner expiry annotation unrelated to the code change.

Closing in favor of #29149 — same bug, broader fix: #29149 adds setter validation (reject non-callable non-null with a TypeError, normalize null/undefined to cleared), getter normalization (return undefined after detach), updates packages/bun-types/redis.d.ts to accept null | undefined, and keeps the isCallable() call-site guards from this PR.
