bun test: only run process.on('exit') listeners when node:test APIs were used - #38442
Conversation
Since #34444, `bun test` dispatched every test file's 'exit' listeners at the end of the run so node's common.mustCall() checks could fail it. Neither jest nor vitest runs a test file's exit listeners (jest hands tests a copy of `process`; vitest tears its workers down), and because every file shares one process here, a listener from any file that calls process.exit(1) failed the whole run while the summary reported all tests passing. node:test's module body now marks the runner, and the end-of-run on_exit() skips the listener dispatch unless it did. Explicit process.exit() from a test still runs them as before. No-Verification-Needed: covered end-to-end by the new bun-test.test.ts cases

src/runtime/test_runner/jest.rs:533-540—js_node_test_loadedruns at module-eval time, so a Worker that doesimport 'node:test'underbun testwritesnode_test_loaded = truethrough the process-globalJest::RUNNERfrom the worker thread — the SAFETY comment's "only touched on the JS thread" is false when workers exist. Gating on_global.bun_vm().is_main_thread()fixes both the unsynchronized cross-thread write and the observable side-effect (a worker's import flipping the flag for the whole run). The pattern is pre-existing (js_file_generation,js_set_default_timeout), but this PR moves it to unconditional module-eval time.Extended reasoning...
What the bug is
Jest::RUNNERis a process-globalstatic RacyCell<Option<NonNull<TestRunner>>>(jest.rs:307) — not thread-local, not atomic.RacyCellis documented (src/bun_core/util.rs:1992) as requiring the caller to uphold single-threaded or externally-synchronized access; it provides none itself.The new
$rust("jest.rs", "jsNodeTestLoaded")at src/js/node/test.ts:1632 is a bare top-level statement in the module body, so it executes at module-evaluation time. Built-in modules undersrc/js/are evaluated once per VM (each Worker has its ownInternalModuleRegistry), which means a Worker spawned underbun testthat doesimport 'node:test'will evaluate this line on the worker's JS thread.js_node_test_loadedthen reads the process-globalRUNNER(set on the main thread at test_command.rs:2241, visible to the worker via the thread-spawn happens-before) and writes(*p.as_ptr()).node_test_loaded = true— an unsynchronized cross-thread write to a struct the main thread owns and reads at end-of-run (test_command.rs:3035).Why existing code doesn't prevent it
There is no main-thread guard. I grepped
src/js/node/test.tsforisMainThreadandjs_node_test_loadedforworker/is_main_thread— neither gates the call. The SAFETY comment says "RUNNER is only touched on the JS thread", but there is no single JS thread when workers exist; each worker has its own.Step-by-step proof
bun test foo.test.tsruns;TestCommand::execsetsJest::RUNNERto point atreporter.jeston the main thread (test_command.rs:2241).foo.test.ts(a bun:test file) containsnew Worker('./w.js');w.jscontainsimport 'node:test'.- The worker VM evaluates
src/js/node/test.ts. Line 1632 executes$rust("jest.rs", "jsNodeTestLoaded")on the worker thread. Jest::runner_ptr()reads the process-global static →Some(p)(it was set in step 1 andRacyCellis unconditionallySync).unsafe { (*p.as_ptr()).node_test_loaded = true }writes toreporter.jest— main-thread-owned state — from the worker thread, while the main thread may concurrently be reading/writing otherTestRunnerfields.- At end-of-run,
test_command.rs:3035readsreporter.jest.node_test_loaded == trueand dispatchesprocess.on('exit')listeners — even though the main-thread test file never loadednode:test, defeating this PR's intent for that run.
Impact
Two things, both minor in practice:
- UB per Rust's memory model. REVIEW.md is explicit: "benign same-value races are still UB" and "Never back per-VM state with globals or thread-locals — workers share them". The write is a single
bool, naturally-atomic on every supported target, so this isn't a crash vector — but the SAFETY comment is inaccurate, which REVIEW.md also flags ("SAFETY comments … must be accurate"). - Observable side-effect. A bun:test file whose Worker merely imports
node:testwill cause the whole run's exit listeners to fire. Arguably not even wrong (something in the run did load node:test), but it's process-wide state being flipped by per-VM behavior.
Why nit, not normal
The pattern is pre-existing in the same file:
js_file_generation(line 528) already readsRUNNERfrom worker-reachable code, andjs_set_default_timeout(line ~510) already writesdefault_timeout_overrideviarunner()— reachable from a worker viajest.setTimeout(). What's new here is that the trigger moves from "worker calls a function" to "worker merely imports node:test" (unconditional module-eval time), a strictly larger surface. That plus the inaccurate SAFETY comment justifies flagging it, but the trigger is an edge case and merging without the fix causes no concrete failure.Fix
One-line guard using the existing helper (VirtualMachine.rs:1134):
pub(crate) fn js_node_test_loaded(global: &JSGlobalObject) -> JsResult<JSValue> { if global.bun_vm().is_main_thread() { if let Some(p) = Jest::runner_ptr() { // SAFETY: RUNNER is set and read only on the main-thread JS VM. unsafe { (*p.as_ptr()).node_test_loaded = true }; } } Ok(JSValue::UNDEFINED) }
This matches where the flag is consumed (test_command.rs:3035, main-thread only), and makes the SAFETY comment true.
…l-inspect's mustCall checks BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP already marks a process as running vendored node tests; the three fs flush tests it runs under bun test check their mustCall counts from an 'exit' listener without loading node:test, so the same opt-in now also enables listener dispatch. Parallel workers exited through global_exit() without on_exit(); they now run the same gated on_exit() as the serial path. util-inspect.test.js verified its mustCall() wrappers from an exit listener, which bun test no longer runs for a bun:test file; the check is an afterAll. No-Verification-Needed: covered end-to-end by the bun-test.test.ts cases
A Worker calling into node:test under bun test reaches the same process-global runner; it must not opt the run into exit listeners. No-Verification-Needed: covered end-to-end by the bun-test.test.ts cases

Check the Worker state before reading Jest::RUNNER.
Line 528 reads RUNNER before Line 529 excludes Workers. A node:test registration from a Worker therefore accesses a static documented as single-JS-VM-thread-only. Keep this access on the main VM thread.

Settle and terminate the Worker on every path.
If the Worker emits error, the message promise never settles. The test then times out and hides the Worker failure. Reject on error, and terminate the Worker in finally.

No-Verification-Needed: test-only change
… loop is active (#38883) ### What does this PR do? `test/regression/issue/07261.test.ts` has been hanging in the `bun test --parallel` batch on the glibc Linux lanes (17 of the last ~110 PR builds; passes when retried alone). In the shard log the batch goes quiet with 07261 as the only file left, the 90s per-test deadline passes with **no `(fail) … timed out` line ever printed**, and the runner's idle timeout kills the batch 4 minutes later. A live capture of a hung batch shows the worker running the file spinning at 100% CPU with no syscalls, its `spawnSync` child a zombie, the pidfd still open. When the per-test deadline passed while `Bun.spawnSync` was blocking, the sync wait loop called `BunTest::bun_test_timeout_callback` *in place* — re-entering the whole test runner (result queue, `handle_test_completed`, junit, worker IPC, timer heap) while `vm.event_loop_handle` still pointed at the isolated loop and before the child had been reaped. Nothing outside the sync child's own I/O should run there. Now the loop only calls `Execution::handle_timeout` (kill the dangling processes so the child dies and the wait drains, `killed N dangling process` is still printed at the deadline) and hands the deadline back to `spawn_sync`, which fires the runner's callback once `spawn_maybe_sync` has torn the isolated loop down. If an exception is pending by then (spawn failure, termination), the file timer is left armed and reports the timeout from the main loop; an exception raised by the deferred callback is propagated (`Ok(JSValue::ZERO)` with the exception on the global, same as the existing post-loop path). Only `src/runtime/api/bun/js_bun_spawn_bindings.rs` changes. ### How did you verify your code works? - `test/cli/test/test-timeout-behavior.test.ts` (sync fixture: spawnSync outliving the per-test timeout still prints `killed 1 dangling process`, `(fail) …`, no `JavaScript execution terminated`, and the next test runs), `test/js/bun/spawn/spawnSync.test.ts`, `spawnsync-no-microtask-drain`, `spawn-signal`, `spawn-maxbuf`, `bun-test.test.ts -t timeout`, `parallel.test.ts` (33/35; the `unique JEST_WORKER_ID` failure is the known debug-build timing flake noted in #38442) — on the debug build of this branch. - The CI hang itself only reproduced under host load in a Linux container with the CI binary (~1/100 batches); there is no deterministic test for it in this PR. I'll re-run that stress against this branch's Linux CI build and post the counts here.

What does this PR do?
Reverts the user-visible half of #34444's exit-listener change. Since that PR,
bun testdispatched every test file'sprocess.on('exit')listeners once the last file finished, so a listener callingprocess.exit(1)failed the run even though the summary reported everything passing (this was slated to be a documented breaking change in the 1.4 notes).Checked jest 30 and vitest 4.1 with a passing test whose file registers
process.on("exit", () => process.exit(1)):-i)forks,threads,vmForks,vmThreads)jest gives test files a copy of
process; vitest tears its workers down itself. Sincebun testruns every file in one process, one file's listener also affected the whole run.Now the end-of-run
on_exit()still runs (profilers, deferred flushes, cleanup hooks) but skips the listener dispatch unless one of these opted in:node:testAPI was called on the main thread —test/describe/hooks/mock.*/assert.registerall reachjsFileGeneration, which marks the runner. Merely importingnode:test, or a Worker using it, doesn't count.BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1, the existing opt-inscripts/runner.node.mjssets for vendored node tests (a few of those run underbun testwithoutnode:testand checkcommon.mustCall()counts from an exit listener).Both keep the vendored node tests and
node:test'srun()children working.

test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts— replaced the two tests from node:test: run(), expectFailure, and Node v26.3.0 skip/todo semantics #34444 with eleven covering: bun:test file, globals-style file, import-onlynode:test, and Worker-onlynode:testdon't run listeners and exit 0 even when the listener callsprocess.exit(1); explicitprocess.exit(3)from a test still runs them; a file registering anode:testtest runs them and can fail the run;BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1runs them for a bun:test file;--parallelruns for both kinds. The "not run" cases fail on the current canary and pass with this branch; the Worker case was also checked against a build with the main-thread guard removed.util-inspect.test.jspasses, and fails when amustCall()wrapper is never invoked.test/js/node/test_runner/node-test.test.tspasses (45/45); the vendoredtest-events-add-abort-listener,test-file-write-stream5,test-worker-arraybuffer-zerofill,test-runner-mockingstill pass withBUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1.test/cli/test/parallel.test.ts: 34/35 locally; the one failure (unique JEST_WORKER_ID) reproduces on this debug build without the worker change and passes on the release canary — debug-build timing, unrelated.
