Problem

  • Bun.inspect / console.log of a JSX element prints <NoName /> for the most common kinds of components: const Bar = () => null and const Bar = function () {} (name inferred from the binding), const Bar = class {}, and anything named through displayName. console.log(Bar) prints [Function: Bar] for the same values, so the two disagree. (Same symptom as <NoName/> when trying to console.log a JSX function named App #4104; the function App() {} case reported there has since been fixed, the cases above were not.)
  • An async component (async function Page() {}) prints <AsyncFunction />.
  • The test runner's formatter has the same bug, so expect(<Bar />).toMatchSnapshot() stores <NoName /> and failure diffs show <NoName />.
  • Cause: both JSX printers (print_jsx in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs, the Tag::JSX arm in src/runtime/test_runner/pretty_format.rs) look the tag name up with JSValue::get_name_property (JSC__JSValue__getNameProperty, src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cpp). That binding reads Symbol.toStringTag first (which is how AsyncFunction.prototype[Symbol.toStringTag] wins over the function's own name) and then only the explicit name from the function's executable; it never consults the inferred name or displayName. The function and class printers were moved to JSValue::get_name (getCalculatedDisplayName) in Fix missing function names in console.log and Bun.inspect #6612; the JSX printers were not.

Fix

  • Adds jsx_component_tag_name next to the console formatter and uses it from both JSX printers. Lookup order: a non-empty string displayName property, else get_name (the lookup [Function: x] / [class x] use, which falls back to Symbol.toStringTag when there is no name), else NoName as before.
  • Why this is correct: displayName || name is the rule React itself uses to name a component in its warnings and devtools, and the rule jest's React element serializer uses for function components. Taking the name half from get_name means that for a function or class component the tag is the same string console.log prints for the component value ([Function: x] / [class x]), which is the consistency the report asks for.
  • displayName is read as a property rather than left to getCalculatedDisplayName (which already honors it for functions) because React.memo() / React.forwardRef() results are plain objects, and Button.displayName = "Button" is the only way they get a name; get_name returns nothing for a non-function.
  • Each tag-name branch now yields the ZigStringSlice directly instead of going through a ZigString first; the string / symbol / primitive branches produce the same bytes as before (fragments still print as <>...</>).
  • Behavior that changes besides the cases above, for the record: a component that has both a name and a Symbol.toStringTag now prints its name (before, the tag won; async and generator functions are the practical instance). A function whose displayName is the empty string prints <NoName /> (before: its function name), because getCalculatedDisplayName returns the empty displayName as the name; this is the same thing console.log already prints for such a function ([Function]), so the two printers still agree, and it is not a pattern React code uses.
  • Behavior deliberately unchanged: a memo / forwardRef object without a displayName still prints <NoName /> (naming it after the wrapped function is a separate feature), an object type with a Symbol.toStringTag still prints the tag, and a component with no name at all still prints <NoName />.
  • Not changed: get_name_property itself. pretty_format.rs still uses it to print [Function] for inferred-name functions in snapshots, which Fix missing function names in console.log and Bun.inspect #6612 deliberately kept so existing .snap files do not change; this PR only changes the JSX tag, which was NoName before and therefore not something a snapshot could usefully depend on.
  • Verified:
    • test/js/bun/util/inspect.test.js, describe("jsx component tag name"): arrow function, anonymous function expression, function declaration, displayName over an explicit function name, class, anonymous class expression, async function, displayName on a forwardRef-style object, a memo-style object without displayName (still NoName), a function with no name at all (still NoName), the closing tag of an element with children, and the [Function: x] / [class x] output for the same values. Each element case asserts Bun.inspect and, through toMatchInlineSnapshot, the test runner's printer. 7 of the 12 tests fail on the released bun 1.4.0 (<NoName /> / <AsyncFunction /> / <NoName>child</NoName>); all pass with this change. The previous "jsx with anon component" test, which asserted <NoName /> for const Foo = () => ..., is replaced by the arrow function case.
    • The rest of inspect.test.js, bundler_jsx.test.ts, run-eval.test.ts (string tags and fragments through the restructured branches), snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts and console-table.test.ts pass with the debug build.
    • The test runner formatter's output for function values themselves ([Function], [class], [Function: AsyncFunction]) is byte-identical before and after, per the note above.

Background

  • React element: the object JSX compiles to, { $$typeof: Symbol.for("react.element"), type, props, key }. type is a string for host elements ("div") and a function, class, or (for memo / forwardRef) an object for components. Both formatters detect it by $$typeof and print it back as JSX, using type's name as the tag.
  • Inferred function name: const Bar = () => null gives the arrow Bar.name === "Bar", but JSC stores that as the executable's ecmaName, separate from the explicit name of function Bar() {}. JSFunction::name() returns only the explicit one; getCalculatedDisplayName (what JSValue::get_name wraps) checks displayName, then the explicit name, then the inferred one.
  • displayName: a plain property React reads to name a component in warnings and devtools. React honors it on functions and on memo / forwardRef objects alike.
  • JSValue::get_name returns a bun_core::String holding a +1 ref; OwnedString releases it on scope exit and to_utf8() takes its own ref (or makes a copy), which is why the returned slice can outlive the OwnedString.
Before / after on the cases from the report
$ bun -e '
const Bar = () => null;
console.log(Bar);
console.log(Bun.inspect({ $$typeof: Symbol.for("react.element"), type: Bar, props: {} }));
const W = function () {}; W.displayName = "Pretty";
console.log(W);
console.log(Bun.inspect({ $$typeof: Symbol.for("react.element"), type: W, props: {} }));
async function Page() {}
console.log(Bun.inspect({ $$typeof: Symbol.for("react.element"), type: Page, props: {} }));
'
# bun 1.4.0            # this branch
[Function: Bar]        [Function: Bar]
<NoName />             <Bar />
[Function: Pretty]     [Function: Pretty]
<NoName />             <Pretty />
<AsyncFunction />      <Page />

Bun.inspect / console.log and the test runner's formatter printed
`<NoName />` for any component whose name JSC infers from its binding
(`const Bar = () => ...`, `const Bar = function () {}`, `const Bar = class {}`),
ignored `displayName`, and printed `<AsyncFunction />` for async
components, because both JSX printers looked the tag name up with
getNameProperty, which reads Symbol.toStringTag first and then only the
explicit function name.

Both printers now share jsx_component_tag_name: `displayName` when set
(this is also how memo/forwardRef objects are named), otherwise the same
getCalculatedDisplayName-based lookup that `[Function: x]` / `[class x]`
already use, so the tag always matches what console.log prints for the
component itself.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds shared JSX component tag-name resolution, updates JSX formatting to use it with ZigStringSlice, and expands inspection tests for component naming behavior.

Changes

JSX tag-name resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Component tag-name helper
src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs
Adds jsx_component_tag_name, which prefers displayName, then the component name, and otherwise returns NoName. The formatter module re-exports the helper.
JSX formatting integration
src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/pretty_format.rs
Uses direct ZigStringSlice handling for JSX tags. Symbols render as fragments, primitive values retain direct conversion, and object or callable values use the shared helper.
Component-name inspection coverage
test/js/bun/util/inspect.test.js
Adds coverage for inferred names, displayName, wrapper-style objects, unnamed components, matching closing tags, snapshots, and direct function and class inspection.

Status: fix is up for review.

Reproduced on the released bun 1.4.0 with test/js/bun/util/inspect.test.js (describe("jsx component tag name")): 7 of the 12 tests fail there (<NoName /> for an arrow / anonymous function expression / anonymous class / displayName component / forwardRef-style object, <AsyncFunction /> for an async component, <NoName>child</NoName> for the closing tag) and all pass with this branch. Each element case checks both Bun.inspect and the test runner's own JSX printer (via toMatchInlineSnapshot).

The commits after the first one only add a test case pinning that a memo-style object without a displayName still prints <NoName /> and remove a doc comment; the fix itself is unchanged since 52a7fa8.

CI on the first revision (build 97613): 177 of 179 test jobs passed, including inspect.test.js on every lane; the failures it reported all passed on retry or when re-run alone and do not involve the formatters touched here, and the remaining two darwin 14 aarch64 jobs never got an agent. CI is re-running on the current head.

Details in the PR description above.

LGTM — focused fix that routes JSX tag naming through the same get_name path the [Function: x] printer already uses, with a shared helper for both formatters.

What was reviewed:

  • Memory safety of jsx_component_tag_name: OwnedString::new(get_name()) → to_utf8() follows the same pattern as JSValue::to_slice (src/jsc/JSValue.rs:856); WTFStringImpl::to_utf8 takes its own ref via to_latin1_slice, so the slice outlives the OwnedString drop.
  • The restructured Symbol/string/primitive/unknown branches produce the same bytes as before; needs_space is still mutated later so mut remains correct.
  • get_truthy filters empty strings and non-string displayName; get_name on a non-function object falls through to empty → NoName, so the forwardRef-without-displayName case still yields NoName.
  • Tests cover 9 component shapes, the closing tag, and consistency with [Function: x]; each asserts both Bun.inspect and the snapshot formatter.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes JSX element formatting in Bun.inspect/console.log and the test-runner snapshot formatter. Previously, components defined via inferred names (const Bar = () => null, const Bar = class {}), displayName, or async functions printed as <NoName /> or <AsyncFunction /> because both JSX printers used get_name_property (which reads Symbol.toStringTag first, then only the executable's explicit name). The fix introduces jsx_component_tag_name in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs — checking a string displayName property first, then get_name (getCalculatedDisplayName), then NoName — and calls it from both ConsoleObject.rs::print_jsx and pretty_format.rs's Tag::JSX arm. The tag-name branches were also refactored to yield ZigStringSlice directly instead of round-tripping through a ZigString local.

Security risks

None. This is display-only formatting of JSX element objects for console/inspect/snapshot output. No parsing of untrusted input, no filesystem/network/auth surface. get_truthy(.., "displayName") can invoke a user getter, but that was already the case for get_name_property (which reads Symbol.toStringTag), and exceptions propagate via ? on the existing JsResult path.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate — native Rust touching JSC string lifetimes. I traced the refcount flow: get_name returns a +1 bun_core::String; OwnedString releases it on drop; to_utf8() in the WTF case calls to_latin1_slice() which does self.r#ref() and returns ZigStringSlice::WTF { .. } (deref on Drop), and in the non-ASCII/UTF-16 cases allocates an owned Vec. This is byte-for-byte the pattern JSValue::to_slice (src/jsc/JSValue.rs:856-863) already uses, so the slice safely outlives the OwnedString. from_utf8_never_free(b"NoName") and ZigStringSlice::EMPTY are static. The displayName branch goes through JSValue::to_slice directly. No new lifetime hazards.

Other factors

  • The refactor is behavior-preserving for the untouched branches: Symbol → empty (fragments still <>...</>), string-like → to_slice, fallback → to_slice, missing type → "unknown". needs_space initialized to true matches both prior arms and is still mutated at lines 5160/5210 (and 2043/2093 in pretty_format), so mut is not dead.
  • Tests are thorough: arrow, anon function expr, function decl, displayName-over-name, class, anon class expr, async function, forwardRef-style object, truly-unnamed → NoName, closing tag, and cross-check against Bun.inspect(component). Each case asserts both formatters (via toMatchInlineSnapshot). The replaced "jsx with anon component" test asserted the buggy output and is correctly superseded by the arrow-function case.
  • get_name_property is deliberately left alone so pretty_format's [Function] output for inferred-name functions is unchanged (existing .snap stability), which the PR description calls out.
  • No CODEOWNERS on these files; no outstanding reviewer comments; single-commit PR with a detailed rationale that matches the code.

LGTM — focused fix that routes JSX tag-name lookup through the same get_name path the function/class printers already use, plus an explicit displayName read for memo/forwardRef-style objects.

What was reviewed:

  • jsx_component_tag_name uses the established OwnedString::new(get_name(...)?).to_utf8() pattern already in this file (lines ~3987/4058), so the slice-outlives-the-drop lifetime is the same as the existing [Function: x] printer and JSValue::to_slice.
  • Checked that get_truthy already filters empty strings, so the .is_string() guard yields only non-empty displayName values; all fallible calls propagate via ?.
  • The to_zig_string → to_slice refactor in the string/symbol/fallback arms is byte-equivalent; needs_space is still true on every path.
  • The comment-cop bot re-flagged the doc comment after 47f3708 shortened it to two lines — that's a false positive (it's a standard pub fn doc comment, not a workaround justification).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two JSX printers (print_jsx in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs and the Tag::JSX arm in src/runtime/test_runner/pretty_format.rs) were resolving the component tag name via get_name_property, which reads Symbol.toStringTag first and only the executable's explicit name — missing inferred names (const Bar = () => null) and displayName. The fix adds a shared jsx_component_tag_name helper (displayName if a non-empty string, else get_name, else "NoName") and calls it from both printers. The surrounding branch structure is refactored to yield a ZigStringSlice directly from each arm instead of routing through a mutable ZigString + .to_slice(). Twelve new test cases in test/js/bun/util/inspect.test.js cover both Bun.inspect and the test-runner formatter (toMatchInlineSnapshot).

Security risks

None. This is display-only formatting of a JSX element's tag name. get_truthy and get_name can run user getters, but both are wrapped in JsResult with ? propagation, matching how the same printers already read type, props, etc. No new untrusted-length arithmetic or allocation sizing.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. It touches native formatter code that handles JS values, so memory-safety and exception-propagation matter. I checked:

  • The OwnedString::new(component.get_name(...)?).to_utf8() pattern is identical to three existing call sites in the same file (the [Function: x] / [class x] printers) and to JSValue::to_slice itself; WTFStringImpl::to_utf8 takes its own ref (or an owned copy), so the returned slice is independent of the dropped OwnedString.
  • get_truthy filters undefined/null and empty strings, so the displayName branch only fires for a non-empty string value; to_slice on it goes through to_bun_string → OwnedString → to_utf8, same lifetime story.
  • ZigStringSlice::from_utf8_never_free(b"NoName") / b"unknown" and ZigStringSlice::EMPTY are static, matching how the crate builds literal slices elsewhere.
  • The refactored needs_space / is_tag_kind_primitive initialization preserves the previous values on every branch.

Other factors

  • The removed "jsx with anon component" test (which asserted <NoName /> for const Foo = () => ...) is replaced by the "arrow function" case now asserting <Foo /> — a deliberate behavior change with a stated reason, not a silent test weakening.
  • Tests pin the still-NoName cases (memo-like object without displayName, truly unnamed function) so future changes don't accidentally regress them.
  • robobun reports CI green on inspect.test.js across all lanes; unrelated flakes named there don't touch these files.
  • The comment-cop bot flagged ConsoleObject.rs:3251 again after 47f3708, but the current doc comment is two lines describing what the function returns — not a paragraph-long workaround justification. Treating it as a false positive.

Cover empty and non-string displayName values.

The helper must accept only a non-empty string displayName. The matrix covers non-empty and unset values, but it does not cover an empty string or a non-string value. Add named components with displayName = "" and displayName = 0 or an object. Assert that both formatters fall back to the inferred component name.

LGTM — focused formatter fix that swaps get_name_property for displayName || get_name in both JSX printers via a shared helper.

What was reviewed:

  • jsx_component_tag_name memory model: OwnedString::new(get_name(..)).to_utf8() matches the existing JSValue::to_slice pattern (src/jsc/JSValue.rs:856-862) — the returned ZigStringSlice holds its own ref or owned alloc, so it outlives the OwnedString drop; from_utf8_never_free(b"NoName") and ZigStringSlice::EMPTY are static.
  • Refactor equivalence for the untouched branches: symbol → empty, string-like/fallthrough → to_slice, and the b"unknown" fallback all yield the same bytes as the old ZigString-then-to_slice() path; needs_space is still true on every path as before.
  • Exception propagation: get_truthy, to_slice, and get_name each return JsResult and are ?-chained; the new displayName getter lookup is no different in kind from the existing Symbol.toStringTag/getter calls the formatter already makes.
  • Tests cover both Bun.inspect and the snapshot formatter for arrow/function-expr/decl/class/async/displayName/forwardRef-object/unnamed, plus the closing tag and [Function: x] consistency; the removed "jsx with anon component" test was asserting the buggy <NoName />.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two Rust files and one test file. Adds jsx_component_tag_name in src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs (re-exported through console_object), calls it from both JSX printers (ConsoleObject.rs::print_jsx and the Tag::JSX arm in pretty_format.rs), and restructures the surrounding type-branching to yield a ZigStringSlice directly instead of round-tripping through a ZigString. Test coverage in test/js/bun/util/inspect.test.js adds a 12-case describe("jsx component tag name") block that exercises both formatters (via Bun.inspect and toMatchInlineSnapshot) and replaces the old test that pinned the <NoName /> bug.

Security risks

None. This is display/formatting code for console.log / Bun.inspect / test-runner diffs. The only new user-code invocation is a displayName property read on the component value, which is the same category of observable getter the formatter already triggers for Symbol.toStringTag, inspect.custom, and property enumeration. Exceptions from that read propagate via JsResult ?.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. It touches native Rust that produces ZigStringSlice values with mixed ownership, so I traced the lifetime of each returned slice: the displayName branch goes through JSValue::to_slice (owned/ref-holding), the get_name branch goes through OwnedString::to_utf8() → WTFStringImplExt::to_utf8() which either allocates an owned Vec<u8> or bumps the impl's refcount into ZigStringSlice::WTF before the OwnedString drops its +1 — identical to the established JSValue::to_slice implementation. The static b"NoName" / b"unknown" / EMPTY cases carry no allocation. The unchanged branches (symbol, string-like, primitive fallthrough) were compared byte-for-byte against the old to_zig_string → to_slice() path and are equivalent. needs_space initialization is unchanged in effect (both old branches set true).

Other factors

  • The helper is shared between both formatters, satisfying the "fix the whole class" and "one implementation" review rules.
  • The comment-cop bot feedback about the long doc comment was addressed (comment removed in 026e978); rationale lives in the PR description and tests.
  • The removed test asserted incorrect behavior (<NoName /> for const Foo = () => ...); its replacement asserts <Foo /> and is one of the 7 cases that fail on 1.4.0 and pass here.
  • CI build 97613 was green on inspect.test.js across all lanes; reported failures were unrelated flakes that passed on retry.
  • Snapshot compatibility: the PR correctly leaves get_name_property alone for the [Function] printer in pretty_format.rs, so existing .snap files for function values do not churn; only JSX tags change, and those were NoName before.
