Conversation
Give concurrent bunx tests independent registry handlers, request counters, and package directories so one case cannot consume another case's fixture state. Dispose temporary install/cache directories after the suite instead of leaving debug binaries behind. Also make the user-agent assertion independent of inherited npm config and the debug-only version suffix.
When multiple packages expose the same bin, the shared node_modules/.bin winner may not belong to the package selected by bunx. Resolve requested and default bins from the named package's package.json for local and bunx cache installs, then use the installer's validated cross-platform linker. Keep explicit package selection from falling through to unrelated bins. Preserve native-binlink redirects only when the installed target matches the declaring optional dependency's name, version, and platform, and share the installer's fallback policy through Linker. Cover explicit and implicit bunx forms, warm and cold caches, hoisted and isolated linkers, unsafe or missing bins, and native redirect fallback.

latestresolves to the last declared version, not the highest.
latestVersionis reassigned on every valid iteration, so it holds the last matching key in object insertion order. Version keys contain dots, so they are not integer-index keys and insertion order is preserved. A fixture declaring{ "2.0.0": {}, "1.0.0": {} }therefore advertiseslatest: "1.0.0".The behavior matches the previous implementation, so this is not a regression. The narrowing added here is an improvement, because
latestcan no longer receive a non-numeric or non-object key. A short comment records the ordering contract for future fixture authors.♻️ Proposed refactor

In `@src/install/bin.rs`:
- Around line 2210-2221: Update resolve_installed_native_binlink_target so
path-construction failures for one dependency/node_modules_path combination skip
that candidate rather than returning None from the entire search. Replace the
propagating conversions around AbsPath::from and target_package_dir.append with
per-iteration handling that continues to the next candidate, while preserving
the existing match and successful InstalledNativeBinlinkTarget return behavior.
- Around line 991-1004: Update the buffer handling in the current method to
capture a mutable pointer from self.abs_dest_buf via as_mut_ptr() before
writing, then construct abs_dest with that captured pointer instead of
self.abs_dest_buf.as_ptr(). Preserve the existing buffer contents, length, and
link_bin_or_create_shim call.
In `@src/runtime/cli/bunx_command.rs`:
- Around line 481-496: The PathBuffer writes can panic when the formatted path
exactly fills the buffer before the NUL terminator is appended. In
src/runtime/cli/bunx_command.rs lines 481-496, update the package_subpath
handling to return crate::Error::PathTooLong when package_subpath_len is at
least package_subpath.len() before indexing the terminator; apply the same guard
in lines 1135-1148 for written versus cache_manifest_buf.len() before the NUL
write.
- Around line 1195-1214: In the cache probe around
link_bin_from_installed_package, only call exit_package_bin_not_found for
PackageBinLookup::BinNotFound when opts.specified_package.is_some(); otherwise
fall through to the existing PATH, cache-directory, and get_bin_name resolution.
Apply the same specified-package guard to the BinNotFound handling in the
project-directory probe.
- Around line 470-505: Validate package_name with
bun_install::package_installer::alias_is_safe_install_target before
interpolating it into package_subpath or passing it to
bun_install::bin::link_package_bin; return PackageBinLookup::BinNotFound for
unsafe targets, while preserving the existing behavior for safe package names.
In `@test/cli/install/bun-install-native-binlink.test.ts`:
- Around line 167-177: Update both install subprocess tests around the `spawn`
calls to drain `install.stdout` concurrently with `install.stderr.text()` and
`install.exited` via the existing three-result pattern used elsewhere in the
file. Preserve the current stderr and exit assertions, and include the stdout
result so all piped streams are consumed before asserting completion.
In `@test/cli/install/bunx.test.ts`:
- Around line 773-780: Strengthen the three package-selection tests in
test/cli/install/bunx.test.ts: at lines 773-780 and 807-814, use the existing
pathname-normalization pattern to assert the exact manifest paths for
actual-package and runner-pkg, assert successful exit codes, and remove or
validate unused err/out captures; at lines 744-746, retain the Saved lockfile
assertion, add an exit-code assertion, and require the exact my-special-pkg
manifest path.
- Around line 1120-1124: Replace the asynchronous shell-based chmod in the
fixture’s else branch with the imported chmodSync call, using the same 0o755
mode as the sibling cached-package test so both fixtures configure fakeBin
consistently.
- Around line 78-85: Update packageInvocationCommand to accept the binary name
as an explicit parameter and use it instead of the hardcoded "what-bin" argument
when building the command. Update both existing call sites to pass "what-bin",
preserving their current behavior while supporting packages with different
binary names.
- Around line 1047-1051: Isolate each packageInvocationCases test case from
other bunx cache directories. Create and use a per-case environment/tmpdir for
the install and update the cache lookup and later shared spawn to use caseEnv,
ensuring sharedBin resolves from that case’s own cache.

Follow-up to #33835, which fixed installing multiple aliased versions of the same package correctly. Bunx could still execute the wrong version when their bin names collided.
What does this PR do?
When multiple installed packages expose the same bin name,
node_modules/.bincontains only one winner. Bunx previously searched that shared bin directory even after selecting a specific package, so it could execute another package's binary.For example:
{ "dependencies": { "typescript": "npm:typescript@7", "typescript-6": "npm:typescript@6" } }This PR resolves the executable from the selected package's own
package.jsonand links it through Bun's existing cross-platform bin-linking machinery.This applies to local installs and Bunx cache installs, both before and after a cache miss, for explicit
--packageand normal package invocation.If an explicitly selected package exists but does not provide the requested bin, Bunx now reports that error instead of falling through to an unrelated shared
.binentry.Native-binlink redirects preserve the installer's behavior, including platform matching, optional-dependency name and version matching,
npm:aliases, and fallback to the declaring package when permitted. For a scoped package (@scope/namenests one directory level deeper), the realpath-derived candidate now strips the extra component; with the isolated linker that candidate is the only reachable one, so scoped native packages previously fell back to the main package bin. The isolated installer's retry-without-native-binlink also reset neithererrnorskipped_due_to_missing_bin, which made the retry a no-op whenever the first attempt errored.Hardening from review: package names are validated (
alias_is_safe_install_target) before being interpolated intonode_modulespaths, exact-buffer-fill path writes returnPathTooLonginstead of panicking, and a probe failure (unreadablenode_modules, malformed manifest, failed symlink) degrades to the install fallback instead of aborting bunx.The test infrastructure commit also gives concurrent Bunx registry tests isolated handlers, counters, package directories, and automatic temporary-directory cleanup. Three checked-in mock-registry tarballs shipped a corrupt
#\!shebang since #21517, so their bins failed withENOEXECand the package-selection tests never verified execution; the tarballs are rebuilt and the tests now assert the bin's output and exit code.How did you verify your code works?
The regression matrix covers:
bun xandbunx.binentries that demonstrably point to the wrong packageThe new regressions fail with the system Bun and pass with this branch's debug build.
