Problem

  • require() of a module whose Bun.plugin callback returns a promise throws require() async module "..." is unsupported. use "await import()" instead. If the promise rejects later, bun prints error: <reason> and exits with code 1. The caller already caught the TypeError. bun 1.3.13 exits with code 0.
  • The loader chains the plugin's promise to an internal promise (src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp:446). require() drops it (:698, :767). Since Upgrade WebKit to 87fd0daba19a (module-loader rewrite) #29393 the rejection tracker reports it.

Fix

  • fetchCommonJSModule marks the internal promise handled before it throws.
  • For require(), a promise that is already rejected gives its reason, not the TypeError. The tracker's Handle step runs, so rejectionHandled still fires. import() is unchanged.
  • Verified: 8 new tests in test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts and test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts. All fail on main.

Background

  • The loader wraps a plugin's promise in a PendingVirtualModuleResult. Its internal promise settles when the plugin's promise does. import() waits for it.
  • The rejection tracker reports a rejected promise that has no handler. bun then exits with code 1.
  • Design: the larger change, where require() does not subscribe, went back in self-review. Draft bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 already has that guard and rewrites these lines. This is the one-file fix for main.

Downsides

  • The loader still reads and transpiles a result that arrives after require() threw, as on main.
  • require() of an ES module that fetches the plugin module twice still exits with code 1.
  • +512 B release text. import() of a plugin promise: 704 -> 706 instructions.
Notes

Repro (two empty files x.rejects and x.late next to repro.cjs, then bun repro.cjs):

let rejectLate;
Bun.plugin({
  name: "p",
  setup(build) {
    build.onLoad({ filter: /\.rejects$/ }, async () => {
      throw new Error("loader failed");
    });
    build.onLoad({ filter: /\.late$/ }, () => new Promise((_, reject) => (rejectLate = reject)));
  },
});
for (const id of ["./x.rejects", "./x.late"]) {
  try {
    require(id);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log("caught:", id, "->", e.name + ":", e.message);
  }
}
rejectLate(new Error("late loader failure"));
setImmediate(() => console.log("still alive"));
  • main, 1.3.14 to 1.4.3: both calls throw the TypeError, then error: loader failed and error: late loader failure, exit code 1.
  • 1.3.13: both calls throw the TypeError, exit code 0.
  • This PR: ./x.rejects throws Error: loader failed, ./x.late throws the TypeError, exit code 0.
  • build.module() and mock.module() factories behave the same way.

Regression. #29393 removed the JSInternalPromise early return from GlobalObject::promiseRejectionTracker. The loader's internal promise is a plain JSPromise since then.

Measurements (release builds of main 71d0d43 and of this diff on it):

  • no-plugin require(): 894 -> 894 instructions, jsFunctionRequireCommonJS to Bun__transpileFile (gdb stepi x3)
  • no-plugin sync ESM fetch: 144 -> 144 instructions in moduleLoaderFetch (gdb stepi x3)
  • import() of a pending plugin promise: 1 PendingVirtualModule and 6 Promise cells per call on both builds. 704 -> 706 instructions from handleVirtualModuleResult<true> to PendingVirtualModuleResult::finishCreation on the steady path (-6 to +2 over 6 calls, gdb stepi x2)
  • release text: +512 B (89103407 -> 89103919, size). jsFunctionRequireCommonJS 21111 -> 21145 B, handleVirtualModuleResult<true> 6500 -> 6908 B (nm -S)
  • rejectionHandled: require 1, import 1 (main 1, 1). unhandledRejection for a stored rejected promise loaded with require(): 2 -> 1
  • unchanged from main: 1000 failed require() leave 1000 PendingVirtualModule cells and 1000 late reads of the result. require() of a sync plugin object module makes 4 Promise cells

Not in this PR.

Question for a maintainer. After require() threw for a pending promise, a later rejection of the plugin's promise that nothing else observes is silent, as in 1.3.13. Draft #44833 returns the plugin's promise without a mark, as its code reads, so there the rejection is reported on the plugin's own promise. If that is the wanted behavior, the two markAsHandled() lines in fetchCommonJSModule go away and the tests assert the report.

The larger change. It was built and measured: require() does not subscribe (1000 -> 0 cells, 1000 -> 0 late reads), one requireVirtualModule for both builtin-probe orders, and the second fetch under require() of an ES module does not subscribe either. It conflicts with draft #44833 in 10 regions, and its check of the registry entry reads a status that the draft writes itself before the callback runs. It is available as a patch.

Tests. Three scenarios run as bun file and as bun test, because fetchCommonJSModule asks the plugins at a different place under bun test. One more checks rejectionHandled for require() and for import(). One checks mock.module() factories.

Suites. bun bd test on plugins.test.ts, mock-module*.test.ts, regression/issue/24387, require-extensions-override, node/module/require-extensions, require-esm-transitive-tla: 167 pass, 1 todo. BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 on the two changed test files: 0 reports.

root cause · written by the author bot

When require() loaded a Bun.plugin virtual module whose module() callback returned a promise, handleVirtualModuleResult chained that promise onto an internal pending-module promise and then require() threw its synchronous "async module is unsupported" error without ever attaching a handler to that internal promise, so a later rejection from the plugin surfaced as a process-level unhandled rejection and exited with code 1. The fix marks the internal promise as handled in both Pending branches before the synchronous error is thrown, and short-circuits plugin promises that are alre…

LGTM — small, pattern-matching fix with solid subprocess coverage.

What was reviewed:

  • markAsHandled() on the internal promise in both Pending branches mirrors the adjacent Rejected branches and the require(esm) path in ZigGlobalObject.cpp; the flag is checked before the rejection tracker fires, so setting it on a still-pending promise is sufficient.
  • The already-rejected short-circuit in handleVirtualModuleResult reuses the same RELEASE_AND_RETURN(scope, reject(...)) shape as the existing OnLoadResultTypeError arm; checked that the allowPromise=false instantiation (via fetchESMSourceCodeSync) now throws immediately instead of returning a pending promise where source code was expected — an improvement, not a regression.
  • Tests cover pending→reject, pending→invalid-resolve, already-rejected (plugin-handled and unhandled), and confirm import() still rejects with the original reason; stderr === "" asserts no unhandled-rejection banner.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR touches src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp (9 lines across three sites) and adds two subprocess tests to test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts. It fixes an unhandled-rejection leak when require() is called on a Bun.plugin virtual module whose module() callback returns a promise: the loader chains the plugin's promise to an internal PendingVirtualModuleResult promise, then throws synchronously, orphaning the internal promise. When it later rejects, the process reports an unhandled rejection and exits 1.

Security risks

None. The change adds markAsHandled() calls on internal promises that are unobservable by user code, and short-circuits an already-rejected user promise to surface its rejection reason directly instead of chaining. No new inputs are parsed, no allocations, no pointer lifetime changes.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate — this is JSC bindings code in the module loader, but the change is purely additive in the Pending branches (marking a promise handled cannot break anything that worked before) and the already-rejected short-circuit follows the exact shape of the existing OnLoadResultTypeError case one arm above it. I traced all three call sites of handleVirtualModuleResult (fetchCommonJSModule with allowPromise=true, fetchESMSourceCode<true>, fetchESMSourceCode<false>, and jsFunctionOnLoadObjectResultResolve with allowPromise=false) and each handles the new eager-rejected return correctly — the sync path now throws immediately instead of returning a pending JSPromise where a JSSourceCode was expected, which was already broken.

Other factors

All prior bot feedback has been addressed: the comment-cop paragraph comments were trimmed to single lines in c8ff906, and CodeRabbit's request to strengthen the stderr assertions to toBe("") was applied in the same commit. The evidence block shows the two new tests fail on the debug ASAN build without the fix and pass with it. The tests use it.concurrent, spawn with bunEnv, drain stdout/stderr/exited concurrently, and assert exact output — consistent with the harness conventions in this file. The markAsHandled() pattern matches existing usage in ZigGlobalObject.cpp:825 and NodeVMModule.cpp:207.

LGTM — narrow fix that silences orphaned internal promises in the require()-of-async-virtual-module error path.

What was reviewed:

  • The two markAsHandled() additions in fetchCommonJSModule's Pending branches mirror the existing require(esm) Pending handling at ZigGlobalObject.cpp:850 and the adjacent Rejected branches — pure flag set, no control-flow change.
  • The already-rejected fast path in handleVirtualModuleResult reuses the same reject() shape as OnLoadResultTypeError; traced through both allowPromise instantiations (fetchCommonJSModule → Rejected case marks handled and throws; fetchESMSourceCode → returns rejected promise to loader).
  • Checked that status()/result()/markAsHandled() are non-throwing so no exception check is needed between them.
  • Tests are hermetic subprocess spawns, drain pipes concurrently, and assert exact stdout + empty stderr + exit 0; cover late-reject, late-resolve-to-invalid, already-rejected (handled/unhandled), and import() still rejecting with the original reason.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR touches src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp (+9 lines across three sites) and adds two subprocess tests to test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts (+77 lines). It fixes a leak where require() of a Bun.plugin virtual module returning a promise would throw synchronously (correct) but leave the internal PendingVirtualModuleResult promise orphaned; when the plugin's promise later settled by rejecting, that orphan surfaced as an unhandled rejection and killed the process with exit 1.

Security risks

None. This is error-path plumbing in the plugin virtual-module loader — no parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto/permissions, no new user-controlled data flowing anywhere. The only observable change is that a previously-unhandled internal rejection is now marked handled (matching the caller's already-delivered synchronous throw), and an already-rejected plugin promise now surfaces its real reason instead of the generic "async module" message.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. ModuleLoader.cpp is a critical path, but the diff is confined to error/edge branches that were previously broken:

  • The two Pending-branch markAsHandled() calls are additive only — the very next line still throws the same TypeError. They match the identical pattern already used in ZigGlobalObject.cpp:850 for the require(esm) Pending case, and the sibling Rejected branches in the same switches.
  • The new Rejected early-return in handleVirtualModuleResult short-circuits before performPromiseThen chains the plugin's promise. It uses the same RELEASE_AND_RETURN(scope, reject(...)) shape as the existing OnLoadResultTypeError arm two cases up. I traced both template instantiations: for <true> callers the returned rejectedInternalPromise hits the caller's Rejected switch arm (which marks it handled and throws), and for <false> (jsFunctionOnLoadObjectResultResolve) the thrown exception is caught and rejects the pending module's promise. status(), result(), and markAsHandled() read/write internal fields and cannot throw, so no intermediate exception check is needed.

The already-fulfilled case is untouched (still falls through to performPromiseThen), so the documented "require() async module … unsupported" behavior for genuinely-pending promises is preserved — the second test's import() case confirms the ESM path still rejects with the plugin's reason.

Other factors

  • No CODEOWNERS for the touched paths.
  • All prior bot feedback (comment-cop on long comments, coderabbit on strict stderr assertions) is resolved; comments are now single-line and both tests assert expect(stderr).toBe("").
  • Tests follow harness conventions: bunExe()/bunEnv, it.concurrent, concurrent pipe drain, exact-stdout snapshot, exit-code asserted last. They cover both twin sites (isBunTest and non-isBunTest branches share the same shape) via the require() path plus the import() path for the new Rejected fast path.
  • The bug-hunting pass found nothing.

LGTM — narrow, pattern-matching fix with solid subprocess coverage.

What was reviewed

  • The two markAsHandled() calls in the Pending branches mirror the adjacent Rejected branches and the identical require(esm) Pending path at ZigGlobalObject.cpp:814.
  • The already-rejected short-circuit in handleVirtualModuleResult reuses the existing reject() lambda exactly as OnLoadResultTypeError does; traced both <true> (CJS/ESM fetch) and <false> (jsFunctionOnLoadObjectResultResolve) instantiations — behavior is unchanged for pending/fulfilled plugin promises.
  • status()/result()/markAsHandled() are all non-throwing; RELEASE_AND_RETURN placement matches sibling arms so exception-scope discipline holds.
  • Tests drain pipes concurrently, assert exact stdout + empty stderr under bunEnv, and cover late-reject, late-resolve-to-invalid, pre-rejected (handled/unhandled), and the import() path.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Fixes an unhandled-rejection leak when require() is called on a Bun.plugin virtual module whose module() callback returns a promise. Three small additions to src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp (9 lines total): a 4-line already-rejected short-circuit in handleVirtualModuleResult's OnLoadResultTypePromise arm, and a one-line promise->markAsHandled() in each of the two Pending branches of fetchCommonJSModule. Two new subprocess tests (77 lines) in test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts.

Security risks

None. This only affects whether an internal loader promise is flagged as handled before require() throws its documented synchronous error, and whether an already-rejected plugin promise's reason is surfaced directly vs. lost behind a generic message. No new inputs are parsed, no allocation/lifetime changes, no user-controllable data reaches new code paths.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The change is in module-loading C++ but is mechanically identical to established patterns:

  • markAsHandled() on a pending internal promise before throwing synchronously is exactly what the require(esm) path already does at ZigGlobalObject.cpp:814, and what the adjacent Rejected arms in the same switch do.
  • The already-rejected short-circuit uses the same reject(...) lambda and RELEASE_AND_RETURN(scope, ...) shape as the neighboring OnLoadResultTypeError case.
  • markAsHandled() is idempotent and only suppresses the unhandled-rejection reporter; it cannot cause a promise to be observed differently by user code, since the internal promise was never exposed.

I traced the effect on all callers of handleVirtualModuleResult: fetchCommonJSModule (both isBunTest branches, <true>) now sees Rejected instead of Pending for pre-rejected plugin promises and throws the real reason via its existing Rejected arm; fetchESMSourceCode<true> returns a rejected promise one microtask earlier with the same reason (test confirms import() still rejects correctly); fetchESMSourceCode<false> and jsFunctionOnLoadObjectResultResolve (<false>) throw synchronously, which their callers already handle via scope.exception(). Fulfilled and genuinely-pending plugin promises are untouched.

Other factors

  • The PR evidence shows both tests fail on the base commit (rc 1, unhandled-rejection banner) and pass with the fix on debug+ASAN and release.
  • All prior review feedback (comment-cop on long comments, coderabbit on strict stderr assertions and setImmediate sentinels) was addressed and the threads resolved.
  • Tests follow harness conventions: it.concurrent, await using, concurrent pipe drain, exact-output assertions, bunEnv, exit code asserted last.
  • No CODEOWNERS entry covers these paths.

Status

The PR is ready for review. It is the one-file fix: require() marks the loader's promise handled before it throws, and it throws the reason of a plugin promise that is already rejected. import() is unchanged.

How to reproduce (bun 1.4.3). Put two empty files, x.rejects and x.late, next to repro.cjs. Run bun repro.cjs.

let rejectLate;
Bun.plugin({
  name: "p",
  setup(build) {
    build.onLoad({ filter: /\.rejects$/ }, async () => {
      throw new Error("loader failed");
    });
    build.onLoad({ filter: /\.late$/ }, () => new Promise((_, reject) => (rejectLate = reject)));
  },
});
for (const id of ["./x.rejects", "./x.late"]) {
  try {
    require(id);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log("caught:", id, "->", e.name + ":", e.message);
  }
}
rejectLate(new Error("late loader failure"));
setImmediate(() => console.log("still alive"));
bun 1.3.14 to 1.4.3, main bun 1.3.13 this PR
require("./x.rejects") throws TypeError: require() async module "..." is unsupported. use "await import()" instead. the same TypeError Error: loader failed
require("./x.late") throws the same TypeError the same TypeError the same TypeError
After the loop error: loader failed and error: late loader failure (unhandled rejections) no output no output
Exit code 1 0 0

A build.module() callback or a mock.module() factory that returns a promise behaves the same way.

Two points need a maintainer:

  • Draft bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 rewrites the same lines. This PR can land on main first, or its changes can go into that draft. It conflicts with the draft in 3 small regions of ModuleLoader.cpp.
  • After require() threw for a pending promise, a later rejection of the plugin's promise is silent here, as in 1.3.13. The PR description says what changes if it has to be reported.

…ait for a plugin's promise

require() of a module whose build.module() or onLoad callback returns a
promise throws the "async module ... is unsupported" TypeError. The
loader had already chained the plugin's promise to an internal promise,
and require() dropped that one. When the plugin's promise rejected
later, or resolved to a shape the loader rejects, the internal promise
rejected with no handler: an unhandled rejection and exit code 1 after
the caller had caught the error. bun 1.3.13 exits with code 0. The
rejection tracker stopped skipping loader promises in #29393.

require() now marks that promise handled before it throws. It also
throws the reason of a plugin promise that is already rejected, where
it threw the "async module" TypeError before. import() is unchanged.

I re-reviewed after d0f7ef3 and found no bugs; the commit addresses the three points from my earlier pass (the Handle operation now runs on the plugin's rejected promise, the bun test branch of fetchCommonJSModule is now exercised, and the async-module message is asserted verbatim). A maintainer look is still worthwhile because the description leaves open a behavior choice this PR decides: a plugin promise that rejects after require() already threw is now silent rather than reported.

What was reviewed:

  • markRejectionAsHandled at ModuleLoader.cpp:74: Bun__handleHandledPromise only enqueues a task, so no user JS runs under it and no exception check is needed after the call.
  • The new Rejected short-circuit at ModuleLoader.cpp:458 is gated on commonJSModule, which only the two fetchCommonJSModule call sites pass, so import() and the allowPromise=false instantiation keep the existing chain.
  • Both Pending arms (isBunTest and !isBunTest) carry the same markAsHandled(), and the describe.each(["bun", "bun test"]) matrix covers both.
Extended reasoning...

The change adds about 20 lines to src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp: a helper that runs the rejection tracker's Handle step, an early return in handleVirtualModuleResult for an already-rejected plugin promise on the require() path, and markAsHandled() on the orphaned internal promise in both Pending arms of fetchCommonJSModule, plus subprocess tests in plugins.test.ts and one in mock-module.test.ts. It touches no security-sensitive surface (no auth, crypto, or untrusted parsing); the sensitive part is promise-rejection bookkeeping in the module loader. Approve was not chosen because the PR author explicitly asks a maintainer whether a late rejection after require() threw should be silent or reported, which is a product decision this diff settles one way, and because the loader is core runtime code without an existing human review on the thread. The latest commit visibly addressed all three of my prior inline comments, so acknowledging that progress is new information.

I re-reviewed the latest two commits and found no bugs; the three points from my earlier review (Handle-step on the plugin's promise, bun test coverage, exact error-message assertions) are addressed by the current diff. Because this changes user-visible require() semantics for an already-rejected plugin promise and the description leaves a design question open for a maintainer (whether a late rejection after require() threw should stay silent), a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • markRejectionAsHandled: promiseRejectionTracker(Handle) only enqueues a rejectionHandled task (Bun__handleHandledPromise), so no user JS runs before RELEASE_AND_RETURN(scope, reject(...)); the internal promise it returns is marked handled before notification in the existing Rejected arm, and handleRejectedPromises skips handled promises.
  • The commonJSModule && gate: only the two fetchCommonJSModule call sites pass target; the ESM/import() sites and the resolve thenable still take the performPromiseThen chain, so import() of a rejected plugin promise is unchanged.
  • Both sync/async Pending arms get the same markAsHandled(), and the new tests run every scenario under both bun and bun test, so each copy is exercised.
Extended reasoning...

The change touches the CommonJS virtual-module path in src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp (a new helper, an early return in handleVirtualModuleResult for already-rejected plugin promises when a JSCommonJSModule is present, and markAsHandled in both Pending arms of fetchCommonJSModule) plus subprocess tests in two test files. It touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface; the sensitive part is promise rejection tracking, where the only side effect is an enqueued event-loop task rather than synchronous user JS. It is not covered by CODEOWNERS, but it alters observable require() behavior (reason thrown instead of the TypeError) and the author explicitly asks a maintainer to decide whether late rejections should be silent, so a human should weigh that rather than an automated approval; a coderabbitai inline thread from the latest push also appears unresolved.

Beyond the inline nit, I also checked that the new early return in handleVirtualModuleResult is reached only via fetchCommonJSModule (the ESM <false> instantiation at src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp:1340 passes no commonJSModule) and that its rejected internal promise lands in the existing Rejected arm, so import() is unaffected. The latest push covers the points from my earlier inline comments (tracker Handle step, bun test coverage of the second switch block, exact message assertions); whether require() of an already-rejected plugin promise should throw the plugin's reason rather than the TypeError is the maintainer call the description asks for.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds an early rejected-promise path and two markAsHandled calls in src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp plus subprocess tests; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Not approved because it changes user-visible require() behavior in the module loader and the author explicitly leaves a design question open for a maintainer.

🟡 nit (optional): the "resolve" half of this scenario never exercises a late fulfilment, so maintainers get no coverage of the resolve path the test name promises. exports: 7 is not an object, so handleOnLoadObjectResult at src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp:162 turns every even call into the TypeError '"object" loader must return an "exports" object' and all 12 late settlements reject the internal promise. Fix: resolve with a valid result, e.g. { loader: "object", exports: { n: i } }, so the even calls reach promise->resolve at ModuleLoader.cpp:1350 while the odd calls still cover the rejection.

Why this was flagged

The fixture at test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts:383-385 settles the 12 pending plugin promises: odd ones with reject(), even ones with resolve({ loader: "object", exports: 7 }). The late resolve runs jsFunctionOnLoadObjectResultResolve (src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp:1318), which calls handleVirtualModuleResult with wasModuleMock false, so the object goes through handleOnLoadResultNotPromise to handleOnLoadObjectResult (ModuleLoader.cpp:141). There exportsValue 7 fails isObject() at ModuleLoader.cpp:156 and the result is OnLoadResultTypeError, so ModuleLoader.cpp:1345 rejects the internal promise with the caught TypeError. Thus every late settlement, resolve or reject, ends as a rejection of the internal promise that the new markAsHandled at ModuleLoader.cpp:714 and :785 silences; the fulfilment branch at ModuleLoader.cpp:1350 is never reached. The test still fails on the base branch and passes with the fix, so the fix is covered; what is missing is the behaviour the title claims for a promise that later fulfils validly. No runtime defect; a test-coverage nit.

Verification: nit. The even-indexed late settlements at test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts:383-385 (resolve({ loader: "object", exports: 7 })) never fulfil the internal promise. exportsValue.isObject() at ModuleLoader.cpp:156 is false, and :162 throws "object" loader must return an "exports" object. So every even call rejects the internal promise; promise->resolve at :1350 is never exercised.
