Mock<T> rebuilt its call signature with Parameters<T>/ReturnType<T>, which instantiates a generic function's type parameters as unknown. Define Mock<T> as T & MockInstance<T> instead, and split mock()/jest.fn() into overloads so inference from the implementation argument is not collapsed by the optional parameter. Fixes #38037

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Deferring to a human because packages/bun-types/ has a CODEOWNER.
What was reviewed:
Mock<T> = T & MockInstance<T>preserves generic call signatures;MockInstancemethods (mockClear,.mock.calls) still resolve on the intersection — covered by the new fixture assertions.- The
interface→typeswitch onJestMock.Mockdrops declaration-merging on that internal name, but the exported top-levelMockwas already atypealias, so no user-facing merge point is lost. - Overload ordering on
mock()/jest.fn(): required-param overload first so generics are preserved when an implementation is passed; the existing optional overload still handlesmock()andfn<T>().vi.fnistypeof jest.fn, so it's covered.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Type-only fix in packages/bun-types/test.d.ts: JestMock.Mock<T> becomes T & MockInstance<T> instead of an interface that rebuilt its call signature via Parameters<T>/ReturnType<T>, and mock()/jest.fn() gain a required-parameter overload ahead of the existing optional one. Both changes exist to stop TypeScript from instantiating a generic implementation's type parameters as unknown. New type-level assertions in test/integration/bun-types/fixture/test.ts reproduce #38037 and verify the fix for both mock() and spyOn().
Security risks
None. This is a .d.ts change plus a compile-time-only fixture; no runtime code is touched.
Level of scrutiny
Low-to-medium. The fix is small, well-explained, and covered by the bun-types integration test (which runs tsc over the fixture). The one subtlety is that JestMock.Mock changed from interface to type, which removes the ability to augment it via declaration merging — but the module-level export type Mock<T> = JestMock.Mock<T> was already a type alias, and JestMock is an internal namespace, so this is unlikely to affect anyone. The intersection approach also matches the (commented-out) upstream Jest MockedFunctionShallow<T> = MockInstance<T> & T pattern already in this file.
Other factors
packages/bun-types/ is owned by a CODEOWNER, so per the review guidelines this should get a human sign-off rather than an automated approval. The PR description reports the integration test passes with the fix and fails without it, and the fixture also exercises .mockClear()/.mock.calls.length/.mockRestore() on the new intersection type to confirm the MockInstance half still resolves.

LGTM — type-only change that swaps Mock<T>'s rebuilt call signature for T & MockInstance<T> and adds required-parameter overloads so generic implementations keep their type parameters. The inline nit about a jest.fn fixture assertion is worth adding but not blocking.
What was reviewed:
- Confirmed the public
Mock<T>andjest.Mockwere already type aliases, so converting the internalJestMock.Mockfrom interface to type alias doesn't break declaration merging for consumers. - Checked that
MockInstance<T>still usesParameters<T>/ReturnType<T>formock.calls,mockReturnValue, etc., whereunknowninstantiation is harmless — only the callable side changed. - Verified the optional-parameter overload is retained, so
mock(),jest.fn(), andjest.fn<T>()with no value argument still resolve.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR touches two files: packages/bun-types/test.d.ts (type declarations for bun:test) and test/integration/bun-types/fixture/test.ts (the tsc-driven fixture that exercises those types). The change replaces interface Mock<T> extends MockInstance<T> { (...args: Parameters<T>): ReturnType<T> } with type Mock<T> = T & MockInstance<T>, and prepends a required-parameter overload to both mock() and jest.fn() so TypeScript infers T without collapsing generic type parameters to unknown.
Security risks
None. This is a .d.ts-only change with no runtime code, no compiled output, and no effect on the shipped binary. The fixture additions are compile-time type assertions run under tsc.
Level of scrutiny
Low. Type-declaration changes cannot affect Bun's runtime behavior; the worst case is a downstream TypeScript compile break. I checked the two plausible breakage vectors: (1) declaration-merging on Mock — the exported Mock and jest.Mock were already type aliases pointing at JestMock.Mock, so consumers could not merge with them before and still cannot; only the internal JestMock.Mock changed shape. (2) Overload resolution — the new required-parameter overload sits before the optional one, so calls with an argument hit it first (preserving generics) and calls without an argument fall through to the second overload unchanged.
Other factors
The PR description explains the TypeScript inference mechanics precisely and reports 15 pass / 9 fail on the integration test with vs without the fix, satisfying the "prove the test fails for the right reason" rule. The one finding — that the jest.fn overload isn't independently covered by a fixture assertion — is a valid variant-matrix gap per REVIEW.md but is a nit: the change is trivially correct by inspection (identical to the mock() overload) and vi.fn is typeof jest.fn. There is one subtle semantic shift: T & MockInstance<T> now surfaces T's own non-call properties on the mock type, which the old interface did not. If T happened to declare a property named mock or mockClear with an incompatible type the intersection would narrow to never for that member — but that's a contrived edge case and the generic-preservation win clearly outweighs it.

Thanks for adding the jest.fn assertion in 11175e6 — that closes the coverage gap I flagged, and this run found no further issues. The change looks correct to me; leaving final sign-off to the packages/bun-types codeowner.
What was reviewed:
Mock<T> = T & MockInstance<T>— checked that the publicMockexport andjest.Mockwere already type aliases, so switching the internalJestMock.Mockfrom interface to type alias doesn't break declaration merging at the user-facing surface.- Overload ordering for
mock()/jest.fn()— required-param overload first, optional second, somock()andmock<T>()still resolve. - Fixture now exercises
mock(),jest.fn(), andspyOn()for generic preservation, plus.mockClear()/.mock.callson the intersection type;vi.fnistypeof jest.fnso covered transitively.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Type-only fix in packages/bun-types/test.d.ts for #38037: Mock<T> is redefined as T & MockInstance<T> (instead of an interface that reconstructs the call signature via Parameters<T>/ReturnType<T>), and mock() / jest.fn() gain a required-parameter overload ahead of the existing optional-parameter one so a generic implementation's type parameters aren't collapsed to unknown during inference. New type-level assertions in test/integration/bun-types/fixture/test.ts cover mock(), jest.fn(), and spyOn() with a generic callback runner, plus confirm MockInstance members (mockClear, mock.calls) still resolve on the intersection.
Security risks
None. Pure .d.ts declaration change plus a compile-time-only fixture; no runtime code paths, no I/O, no user input handling.
Level of scrutiny
Low-to-medium. The change is small, mechanical, and follows the standard TypeScript pattern for preserving generic call signatures (intersect with T rather than reconstruct via utility types; split optional-param signatures into an overload pair). I checked that changing JestMock.Mock from interface to type doesn't affect user-side declaration merging: the module-level export type Mock<T> and jest.Mock<T> were already type aliases, so the public merge surface is unchanged. The overload pair is ordered required-first so mock(fn) binds the generic-preserving overload while mock() / mock<T>() fall through to the optional one.
Other factors
My earlier review flagged that the jest.fn overload wasn't independently exercised by the fixture; the author addressed this in 11175e6 and confirmed the fixture fails when only that overload is reverted. All three entry points are now covered. packages/bun-types/ has a CODEOWNER, so per the review guidelines I'm deferring rather than shadow-approving — but I have no outstanding concerns with the change itself.

Re-reviewed after 11175e6 — the jest.fn coverage gap from my earlier comment is closed and I found no further issues. packages/bun-types/ is under CODEOWNERS, so leaving final sign-off to the owner.
What was reviewed:
Mock<T>interface→type-alias switch:JestMockis a non-exported namespace and both publicMockre-exports were already type aliases, so no declaration-merging surface is lost.- Overload ordering on
mock()/jest.fn(): required-param overload precedes the optional one, so zero-arg and explicit-<T>()calls still resolve. - New
Mock genericstsc test mirrors the existingBun.mmappattern (same tsconfig/typeRoots setup, pipes drained concurrently, exit code asserted last).
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Types-only fix for #38037. Three edits in packages/bun-types/test.d.ts: (1) JestMock.Mock<T> becomes T & MockInstance<T> instead of an interface that rebuilt the call signature via Parameters<T>/ReturnType<T>; (2) a required-parameter overload is added ahead of the existing optional one on mock(); (3) the same on jest.fn(). Test coverage lands in two places: fixture assertions in test/integration/bun-types/fixture/test.ts (checked by the LanguageService-driven typeTest cases), and a standalone spawned-tsc case in bun-types.test.ts that runs on debug builds too.
Security risks
None. Pure .d.ts and type-fixture changes; no runtime code path is touched.
Level of scrutiny
Low-to-moderate. The change is small, additive (the old optional overloads remain), and strictly widens the callable side of Mock<T> to the original function type. I checked the one non-additive edit — interface Mock → type Mock — for a declaration-merging regression: the JestMock namespace is not exported from bun:test, and both user-visible Mock symbols (top-level and jest.Mock) were already type aliases, so no previously-mergeable surface is removed. MockInstance<T> members (mock, mockClear, _isMockFunction, …) don't collide with Function own properties, so the intersection stays callable and .mock.calls etc. remain reachable (the fixture asserts genericMock.mock.calls.length and .mockClear()).
Other factors
My earlier review flagged that the jest.fn overload had no fixture coverage; commit 11175e6 added the genericJestFn block to both the fixture and the inline mock-generics.ts, and 23f9ecd extended the spawned-tsc case accordingly — that thread is resolved. vi.fn is typeof jest.fn, so it's covered transitively. The new describe("Mock generics") block is a near-verbatim copy of the adjacent Bun.mmap block (same typeRoots wiring, Promise.all pipe drain, stderr/stdout/exitCode assertion order), so it matches file-local convention. Not approving because packages/bun-types/ is CODEOWNER-gated.

Thanks for adding the jest.fn coverage — the fixture and the new tsc-spawn test now exercise all three entry points. I didn't find any further issues this pass. Deferring final sign-off since packages/bun-types/ is CODEOWNER-gated and the interface Mock<T> → type Mock<T> = T & MockInstance<T> switch drops declaration-merging on JestMock.Mock, which is a small API-surface call worth a human look.
What was reviewed
Mock<T> = T & MockInstance<T>: checked that the exported top-levelMockandjest.Mockwere already type aliases, so user-side augmentation of the public name was never possible;this-returning methods (mockClear) still chain through the intersection.- Overload ordering on
mock()/jest.fn(): required-param overload precedes the optional one, so no-argmock()/fn<T>()still resolve. - New
bun-types.test.tscase mirrors the existingBun.mmaptsc-spawn pattern (drains stdout/stderr/exited concurrently, asserts output before exit code).
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Three files: packages/bun-types/test.d.ts changes JestMock.Mock<T> from an interface with a reconstructed (...args: Parameters<T>): ReturnType<T> call signature to type Mock<T> = T & MockInstance<T>, and adds required-parameter overloads ahead of the existing optional-parameter signatures on mock() and jest.fn(). test/integration/bun-types/fixture/test.ts gains type-level assertions for generic mock(), jest.fn(), and spyOn(). test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts gains a standalone tsc-spawn case (runs on debug builds too) that reproduces #38037 independently of the LanguageService fixture path.
Security risks
None. Pure .d.ts and type-fixture changes; no runtime code, no compiled output.
Level of scrutiny
Medium. The type-level fix is well-motivated and the mechanism (TypeScript flattens generic type parameters to unknown when routed through Parameters<T>/ReturnType<T> or inferred from an optional parameter) is correctly identified. The overload additions are strictly additive. The one non-mechanical change is interface Mock → type Mock: it removes the ability to declaration-merge into JestMock.Mock. The publicly exported Mock (top-level and jest.Mock) were already type aliases re-exporting JestMock.Mock, so users could never merge into the exported name — but reaching into the JestMock namespace to augment was technically possible before and now is not. That is almost certainly fine, but it is exactly the sort of API-surface judgment CODEOWNERS exists for.
Other factors
- CODEOWNERS assigns
*.d.tsand/packages/bun-types/to a specific owner, so per the approval guidelines this should not be auto-approved. - My previous review's nit (jest.fn overload not exercised by the fixture) was addressed in 11175e6 and 23f9ecd; both the fixture and the new tsc-spawn test now cover
jest.fn, and the author confirmed the fixture fails when only thejest.fnoverload is reverted. That thread is resolved. - Test structure follows the adjacent
Bun.mmapcase exactly (same tsconfig cloning,typeRootspointing at the packed fixture, concurrent pipe drain, stderr/stdout asserted before exitCode). genericMock.mockClear()andgenericMock.mock.calls.lengthin the fixture confirmMockInstance<T>members survive the intersection andthisreturn types still chain.

Problem
tscrejects assigning a mock of a generic function back to its own type:Type 'Mock<(callback: () => PromiseLike<unknown>) => Promise<unknown>>' is not assignable to type '<T>(callback: () => PromiseLike<T>) => Promise<T>', and calls through the mock returnPromise<unknown>instead ofPromise<number>.packages/bun-types/test.d.ts:Mock<T>rebuilt its call signature as(...args: Parameters<T>): ReturnType<T>, and those utility types instantiate a generic function's type parameters asunknown.mock()/jest.fn()declared their implementation argument as optional (Function?: T), and inferringTfrom an optional parameter collapses a generic implementation's type parameters the same way.Fix
