test(bundler): speed up esbuild/extra.test.ts and tighten its assertions

[robobun]

Problem

• 23s on the debian x64-asan lane (build 101560): 202 of the 232 cases each run their bundle in a bun subprocess, which is about 75% of a case under ASAN.
• Weak checks: the minify loop minifies 2 of its 57 cases per label, 18 cases have checks but no run, ESBuildIssue1894 never runs its checks, and 8 upstream variants became byte-identical pairs.

Fix

• programs() builds a block of sibling cases as one build with one entry point per case. One runner.js logs each case's number and imports its output, and the run asserts the exact stdout. Each case's files moves into the group unchanged, and its output is the same file as before. 24 groups hold 181 cases.
• The loop now minifies, as upstream does. CJSSelfExport3, 4, 5 and 7 get upstream's flags. Five cases whose checks fail once they run become todo (Background). TreeShaking9 was never registered and passes now.
• Verified: 232 cases and 202 subprocesses become 77 and 56. CI asan lane: 7.56s (build 101740) instead of 22.4s. Debug ASAN here: 84.0s and 85.8s before, 31.9s to 32.6s after. Released bun: 2.16s before, about 0.93s after. All runs pass, also with esbuild as the bundler (same 11 untouched failures as main).

Background

• run: true checks only the exit code. With entryPoints, expectBundled checks that every output exists. root: "." keeps case 1 at out/1/ for any group size.
• ESBuildIssue1894: with format: "cjs", the export * of inner.ts also lands on the entry's module.exports, so out.b is 'b' (bundler: fix re-exports of the "bun" builtin with --target=bun #37829 fixes that).
• TreeShaking8: Bun joins a sideEffects pattern onto the package directory, esbuild gives "x.*" an implicit **/. MinifyCatchScope2: a direct eval does not stop the renaming of y (bundler: pin CJS module-scope names when direct eval is present #35955 fixes that).
• FunctionHoisting1 and 14 are upstream's transform-only versions of 4 and 15. Transformed, bun does not hoist the block-level functions (Incorrect function hoisting due to transpiler #23633).

Notes

Timings in one container, host load average 27 to 42. Debug is bun bd test, a debug build with ASAN. Released is USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 bun test with bun 1.4.0. The Windows lane registers none of this file's itBundled cases today (0.2s in CI, #34552), so there are no Windows numbers.

version	cases	subprocesses for run	debug ASAN	released
main (6e906e4)	232 (220 pass, 12 todo)	202	85.8s, 84.0s (first cold run 87.8s)	2.16s
this PR	77 (60 pass, 17 todo)	56	31.9s, 32.6s, 32.0s	0.95s, 0.95s, 0.92s

CI, build 101740 of this branch (Ran 77 tests line of the shard logs), against test/expected-durations.json for main: debian 13 x64-asan 7.56s (22.4s), debian 13 x64 1.47s (2.0s), alpine 3.23 aarch64 1.68s (2.7s for musl), darwin aarch64 1.71s, windows 2019 x64 Ran 0 tests in 0.13s as on main. The release lanes gain less because a release subprocess is cheap there, the asan lane is the one this file was slow on.

A case with a run takes 340ms to 360ms here, a case without one about 85ms, a group 440ms to 630ms (the 23-snippet groups about 590ms). The 9 define cases (a bun build subprocess plus a run, about 540ms each) are unchanged. The released bun passes the file, so the new assertions pin released behaviour. --todo on both builds: the 5 new todo cases fail, the 12 old ones behave as on main (CaseSensitiveImport2 and 3 pass there by readdir order and because this filesystem is case sensitive, see #38011, so they stay todo). BUN_BUNDLER_TEST_USE_ESBUILD=1: 11 failures on main (CaseSensitiveImport/4, ESModuleSelfImport1, FileAsDirectoryBreak, KeepNames3/4, JSXEscaping1/2, ToplevelSymbolHoisting, UnminifiedNamedModuleFunctions2/4, all untouched), the same 11 here, every group passes with esbuild too.

Groups (case N of extra/X is the old extra/XN): ArbitraryModuleNamespaceIdentifiers (1 to 6), ImportOrder (1, 2), CJSExport (1 to 7), CJSSelfExport (1, 2, 6, 8), CJSSelfExportCJS (3, 5, format: "cjs"), DoubleExportStar (1 to 3), CJSEval (1, 2), EnumerableFalse (1, 2), CatchScope (1 to 9), ForLoopInitializerHoisting (1 to 3), TreeShaking (1 to 7), CommonJSSymbol (1 to 7), ObjectRestPattern (1 to 4), FunctionHoisting (2 to 13 and 15), and per minify label Hoisting (old Minify1/2 and NoMinify1/2), DotAccess and BracketAccess (1 to 23), CatchScope (1, 3, 4, 5) and GlobalConstructorBehavior (1 to 3). The second add(22, ...) becomes add(23, ...) (the line #38471 also changes), and add() throws on a repeated number.

What changes for a case in a group: its output is built in the same build as its siblings and is imported by runner.js instead of being started as the main file, so the cases of a group share one process. The process-wide state the grouped cases touch is global.dce0 to dce5 (TreeShaking, one per case), global.internal_import_order_test1/2 (ImportOrder, one per case) and the non-enumerable Object.prototype.MIN_OBJ_LIT that snippet 20 of the access groups defines and no later snippet reads. Everything else they declare is module scoped, and none of them prints, so stdout holds only the runner's lines. No case uses import.meta.main or require.main.

Assertion changes:

• 24 groups assert the exact stdout (181 lines in total) and expectBundled checks that all 181 outputs exist. Before, run: true only checked the exit code.
• The property access, CatchScope, VariableInitializerInlining and GlobalConstructorBehavior cases of the loop are now minified under the Minify label. All pass except the eval case.
• Cases that now run: CommonJSSymbol1 to 7, Minify1/2, NoMinify1/2, CyclicImport2 (the suite runs it, "shouldn't crash on evaluation") and VariableInitializerInlining for both labels. Its check becomes this !== globalThis && this !== undefined: bun runs out.js as an ES module, so a plain call gets undefined, and the bug the case guards against (obj.bar(), obj as this) still throws.
• CJSSelfExport3, 4, 5 get format: "cjs" and 4 and 7 the minify flags, as upstream. Before, 3/4/6/7 and 5/8 were byte-identical. All pass.
• TreeShaking also asserts that out/2/entry.js and out/5/entry.js do not hold the removed packages (dce1 = 123, dce4 = 123) and that out/7/entry.js does not hold unused. A kept package prints as global.dce0 = 123;, so a wrongly kept one trips the check.
• ESBuildIssue1894 runs node.js. CommonJSSymbol8 keeps bundling only and its comment says why (top-level this printed as null, Substitute top-level this with undefined in ES modules #32173). FunctionHoisting1 and 14 use bundling: false as upstream; bundled they were copies of 4 and 15.

Left as they are: PrototypeChain1 to 3 (#38471 edits them), FunctionHoistingKeepNames1 to 4 (#36313 and #35307 edit them, 1/2 and 3/4 are also bundled copies of transform-only upstream cases), CaseSensitiveImport* (#38011), the define cases (#35958, and one define per build), UnminifiedNamedModuleFunctions2/4 (interleaved with the todo cases 1 and 3), the two VariableInitializerInlining and CatchScope2 cases of the loop, and the cases that are alone in their block. CatchScope7 and 8 are still copies (upstream differs by --bundle) and both stay in the group. skipIfWeDidNotImplementWildcardSideEffects has no users left; its field in expectBundled.ts is left alone because of the open PRs against that file. This branch merges cleanly with the extra.test.ts hunks of #38471, #38011, #35958, #36313 and #35307. prettier reports the file unchanged; git diff -w shows the case bodies as unchanged.

Earlier revisions: the first push merged the programs of a group into one bundle (in.js importing them) and used describe.concurrent. The self-review found that one bundle renames the programs' top-level names even without minification, needed an export to keep the CommonJSSymbol output an ES module, and failed two groups with esbuild as the bundler; the one-entry-point-per-case shape has none of that, at about 100ms more per group here. describe.concurrent was dropped because itBundled registers todo cases with plain it.todo, so the API backend todo pairs would race on process.chdir under bun test --todo; it only overlapped the 9 define cases (about 1s on the asan lane) and can come back once that branch uses it.serial too.

Status: ready for review. This PR only changes test/bundler/esbuild/extra.test.ts.

Current revision (9432f01): every grouped case keeps its own entry point and output, describe.concurrent is gone (see the review comment below), and more blocks are grouped (FunctionHoisting, CJSSelfExport with upstream's flags, DoubleExportStar, ImportOrder, CJSEval, EnumerableFalse).

How the numbers were taken, in one container (debug build with ASAN, then the released bun 1.4.0 with USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1):

bun bd test test/bundler/esbuild/extra.test.ts                  # main: 85.8s and 84.0s, 232 cases. This branch: 31.9s, 32.6s, 32.0s, 77 cases.
USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 bun test test/bundler/esbuild/extra.test.ts    # main: 2.16s. This branch: 0.95s, 0.95s, 0.92s.
bun bd test test/bundler/esbuild/extra.test.ts --todo           # the 5 new todo cases fail on both builds, the old ones are unchanged.
BUN_BUNDLER_TEST_USE_ESBUILD=1 USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 bun test ...    # the same 11 untouched cases fail on main and here.

All runs pass. CI build 101740 of this revision: the file takes 7.56s on the debian x64-asan lane (22.4s on main per test/expected-durations.json) and 1.47s on debian x64 (2.0s). The list of groups, the assertion changes and the todo review are in the PR description.

[robobun]

On the describe.concurrent review comment: agreed. itBundled registers a todo case with plain it.todo (expectBundled.ts:1906), so the API backend todo pairs in this file (TreeShaking10/11, FunctionHoistingKeepNames1/2, CaseSensitiveImport2/3) would share one concurrent group under bun test --todo and race on process.chdir. The guard belongs in that todo branch, and this PR keeps out of expectBundled.ts because of the open PRs against it.

So the next push drops describe.concurrent from this file again. That costs about 3.5s of the 35s to 44s measured here (the 9 define cases were the only ones that overlapped, about 1s on the asan lane) and the rest of the speedup comes from the merged bundles. The file can opt in once the todo branch also uses it.serial for the API backend. I will push that together with the result of the self-review that is running now.

On the TreeShaking8 / TreeShaking9 review comment: both changes are intentional.

• On main, neither case existed as a test. skipIfWeDidNotImplementWildcardSideEffects is not an option expectBundled knows, so the dry run in itBundled threw and the two cases were never registered (they do not appear in the output of bun test on main). Wildcard sideEffects have been implemented since then (wildcard sideEffects are not supported yet #5241 is closed), so the option has no purpose any more.
• TreeShaking9 ("**/x.*") passes with the debug build and with the released bun, so it is now a normal case.
• TreeShaking8 ("x.*") fails: PackageJSON joins every pattern onto the package directory (src/resolver/package_json.rs, the has_globs branch), so <pkg>/x.* does not match <pkg>/dir/x.js, while esbuild and webpack give a pattern without a slash an implicit **/ (the esbuild issue linked in the comment above the case). I found no Bun issue for this, so the comment above the case states the reason, and bun test --todo shows it failing on both builds. If somebody files an issue for it, the comment can point at it.

[claude]

Thanks — the describe.concurrent concern from the earlier review is resolved (the file is back to plain describe), and this pass found no bugs. Given the scope — 181 cases regrouped into shared subprocesses via programs(), 5 new todo markers, and assertion changes like VariableInitializerInlining and the CJSSelfExport flag additions — a human look at the coverage-preservation reasoning would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• Confirmed describe is serial again, so the todo-pair process.chdir race no longer applies.
• Checked programs() output-path/entry-point derivation and that grouped cases sharing one subprocess don't clash on global.* keys (TreeShaking dce0..5, ImportOrder test1/2 are all distinct).
• Verified skipIfWeDidNotImplementWildcardSideEffects was already dead (declared but never read in expectBundled.ts), so dropping it from TreeShaking8/9 is a no-op.
• Each new todo carries a comment naming the observed failure and a tracking issue.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Test-only refactor of test/bundler/esbuild/extra.test.ts (~800 lines of diff, single file). Introduces a programs() helper that folds blocks of sibling itBundled cases into one build (one entry point per case) and one runner subprocess that sequentially imports each output while asserting exact stdout. 24 groups now hold 181 of the previous 232 cases, cutting subprocess count from 202 to 56 and the debian x64-asan lane time from ~85s to ~32s. Alongside the grouping: 5 previously-passing-but-vacuous cases become todo with issue references (ESBuildIssue1894, TreeShaking8, MinifyCatchScope2, FunctionHoisting1/14), several cases gain the upstream esbuild flags they were missing (CJSSelfExport3/4/5/7, minify-loop cases), and a handful of cases that only bundled now also run.

Security risks

None. Test file only; no production code, no network, no auth/crypto surface.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high for a test-only change. The mechanical grouping is straightforward, but the PR also makes several judgment calls that affect what the suite certifies: marking cases todo, weakening VariableInitializerInlining to accept this === undefined, and running 181 previously-isolated programs in shared subprocesses (case 20 of the DotAccess/BracketAccess groups mutates Object.prototype, for instance — later cases in that group don't reference the added property, but it illustrates that isolation semantics changed). REVIEW.md explicitly flags "never silently weaken, skip, or delete an existing test" as a merge blocker, so a maintainer should confirm the todo diagnoses and assertion adjustments match their understanding of the referenced issues.

Other factors

My prior review flagged a describe.concurrent × it.todo race under --todo; the author acknowledged it and commit 2b23823 reverted to plain describe, and commit 9432f01 switched to the one-entry-point-per-case shape described in the updated PR body. The bug-hunting system found nothing on this revision. I checked that skipIfWeDidNotImplementWildcardSideEffects was already a dead field (declared at expectBundled.ts:343, never read), that the grouped cases' global.* keys are all distinct so sequential execution in one process doesn't cross-contaminate, and that each new todo has a comment naming the failure mode plus an issue number. The change is well-documented and internally consistent, but at ~800 lines with coverage-semantics changes it exceeds what I'd wave through without a maintainer sign-off.

[robobun]

On the shared-process point of the last review: the cases of a group now share one process, so I went through what they touch outside their own module scope. It is global.dce0 to dce5 (TreeShaking, one per case), global.internal_import_order_test1 and 2 (ImportOrder, one per case), and the non-enumerable Object.prototype.MIN_OBJ_LIT that snippet 20 of the access groups defines, which snippets 21 to 23 do not read. Everything else is module scoped, no case prints, and none uses import.meta.main or require.main. I added this paragraph to the Notes of the description, next to the list of groups, for whoever does the human pass.

The coverage reasoning for the two assertion changes is also in the description: VariableInitializerInlining did not run at all before (it only bundled), and the CJSSelfExport flags are the ones the esbuild suite uses for those four cases.
