sql: fire onclose only for pool connections that completed their handshake

[robobun]

Problem

• sql.close() fires the onclose callback once per configured pool slot (max), not once per connection that fired onconnect. With max: 30 and 6 completed handshakes, the user sees { opened: 6, closed: 30 }. Metrics that pair the two callbacks drift negative. Fixes Bun.SQL: close() fires onclose once per pool slot, including slots that never connected #39940.
• The cause: the first query starts all max slots, and each slot begins its handshake at once. #close() in src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts then closes every pending slot, and #finishClose invoked the user's onclose unconditionally, even for slots that never completed the handshake and never fired onconnect.

Fix

• Add a per-slot flag, PooledConnectionFlags.onConnectFired, set when handleConnected runs (that is exactly when the user's onconnect fires, with null or an error).
• #finishClose now skips the user's onclose when the close is pool-initiated (onFinish is set) and the flag is unset. The pool bookkeeping (query notification, onFinish, release) still runs, so close() settles as before.
• A connect failure outside close() (connection timeout, refused connection, spent retry budget) still reports through onclose. Existing tests assert that behavior and they still pass.
• Verified: new tests in test/js/sql/sql-close-pending-connection.test.ts (both drivers, fails on stock bun with 5 onclose calls for 0 connections) and test/js/sql/sql.test.ts (real postgres, onclose count equals onconnect count). Also ran the full test/js/sql/ suite.

Background

• The postgres and mysql adapters share one pool in shared.ts. Each slot is a BasePooledConnection that dials as soon as it is created.
• handleConnected is the native handshake callback and fires the user's onconnect. handleClose is the native socket-close callback and funnels into #finishClose, which fires the user's onclose.
• onFinish is set on a slot only by pool close(). It resolves the promise that close() awaits. That makes it a reliable marker for a pool-initiated close.
• One pinned expectation changed: sql-onconnect-onclose-throw.test.ts asserted that a forced close() of a mid-handshake slot fires a throwing onclose. That slot never fired onconnect, so the fixture now asserts onclose is not invoked and close() still resolves.

Notes

Repro (against a local postgres, max: 30): stock bun prints { opened: 6, closed: 30 }, the fixed build prints equal counts across 10 runs (opened varies 2 to 24 per run, closed always matches).

Paths audited in #finishClose:

• Pool close of a connected slot: onConnectFired set, onclose fires, pairs with onconnect.
• Pool close of a pending slot: flag unset, onFinish set, onclose skipped (the bug).
• Connection timeout or refused connection outside close(): onFinish null, onclose fires. Asserted by "Connection timeout works" in sql.test.ts and by sql-connect-error-reporting.test.ts ("onclose fires once per closed connection, not per retry attempt").
• Handshake that completes while close() drains: onconnect fires, then the slot closes and onclose fires. Pairs.

The sqlite adapter opens its single connection in the constructor and fires onconnect there, so its onclose always pairs. No change needed.

Suites run locally: test/js/sql/ in full. 28 failures in the generic mysql helper and transaction tests pre-exist with the stock bun against the local MariaDB service and are unrelated.

root cause · written by the author bot

The pool's close path invoked the user's onclose callback for every allocated slot, including slots whose connections were still pending and had never completed the handshake or fired onconnect, so closed counts always matched the configured max. The fix records whether each pooled connection actually completed its onconnect cycle, resetting that marker on each reconnect attempt, and a pool initiated close of a slot that never reached onconnect now skips the onclose callback. As a result, onconnect and onclose pair up one to one for connections that were genuinely established, while pending…

Walkthrough

Changes

The SQL pool now tracks whether each pooled connection completed onconnect. Pool-initiated closure skips onclose for incomplete handshakes. Retry cycles reset this state. Tests cover pending closures, retries, throwing callbacks, and multi-connection pools.

SQL callback pairing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track connection callback cycles src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts	Pooled connections record whether onconnect fired. The state is recorded on connection and reset during retry.
Conditionally invoke close callbacks src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts, test/js/sql/sql-close-pending-connection.test.ts, test/js/sql/sql-onconnect-onclose-throw.test.ts	Pool-initiated closure skips onclose when handshaking did not complete. Pending queries still reject, and close bookkeeping completes when callbacks throw.
Validate callback pairing across cycles test/js/sql/sql-close-pending-connection.test.ts, test/js/sql/sql.test.ts	Tests verify callback pairing across reconnect cycles and verify that multiple connections receive onclose only after onconnect.

Correct the onConnectFired doc comment to match its actual set condition.

The comment states the flag means "the user's onconnect callback already fired," but handleConnected sets this flag unconditionally at line 662, even when connectionInfo?.onconnect is undefined. In that case no callback exists to fire, so the comment overstates what happened.

Setting the flag unconditionally is correct: it must not depend on whether onconnect is registered, or connections that succeed but only have an onclose handler would never get notified on pool-initiated close. Update the comment to describe the actual invariant, for example: "indicates the connect cycle for this slot completed (successfully or with an error); the user's onconnect callback runs first if one is configured."

As per coding guidelines, **/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx,rs,zig,cpp,cc,c,h,hpp,ts} requires to "name booleans truthfully" and match local conventions, and durable comments must convey accurate, non-obvious information.

[claude]

The earlier finding (stale onConnectFired flag surviving into a reconnect cycle) is addressed in 64e2674 — doRetry() now clears it, and a scripted-backend test pins the close-mid-reconnect case. No new issues found on this pass.

Because this changes user-visible onclose semantics (an existing test's assertion was inverted — forced close of a mid-handshake slot now skips onclose), a human sign-off on the API contract would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed

• Traced #finishClose paths: pool-close of connected/pending slots, refused-connection and timeout paths (onFinish === null → onclose still fires, preserving existing tests), and the cancelRetry() short-circuit in #close() (neither callback fires — paired at 0/0).
• Verified doRetry() now clears the flag alongside the other per-cycle resets, and that listeningServer/pgAuthenticationOk/pgReadyForQuery exist in wire-frames.ts.
• Checked that the onFinish !== null gate is a reliable pool-initiated-close marker (only #close() sets it).

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR touches src/js/internal/sql/shared.ts (the shared postgres/mysql pool) plus three test files. It adds a PooledConnectionFlags.onConnectFired bit that is set in handleConnected(), cleared in doRetry(), and consulted in #finishClose to skip the user's onclose callback when a pool-initiated close (onFinish !== null) tears down a slot whose handshake never completed. Fixes #39940 where close() fired onclose once per configured max slot regardless of how many actually connected.

Prior feedback

My previous review flagged that doRetry() did not clear the new flag, so a slot that connected once and was redialing would carry the stale bit into the next cycle. That was fixed in 64e2674 with a dedicated test (postgres: close() mid-reconnect does not fire onclose for the unfinished cycle). The github-actions comment-cop feedback about a paragraph-long inline comment was addressed in e0d8a5e by folding the condition into a named variable poolClosedSlotBeforeOnconnect. All prior threads are resolved.

Security risks

None. This is JS-side pool bookkeeping; no parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto/permission surface.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. The mechanical change is small and well-tested (fails on stock bun, passes with the fix, both drivers covered, plus a real-postgres integration assertion in sql.test.ts). However, this is a user-facing semantic change to when onclose fires: an existing test in sql-onconnect-onclose-throw.test.ts had its assertion inverted — forced close of a mid-handshake slot previously fired onclose (with a CONNECTION_CLOSED error) and now does not. The PR also deliberately leaves the refused-connection / timeout path firing onclose without a paired onconnect, so the pairing invariant is scoped to pool-initiated close() only. That's a defensible design (and existing tests pin it), but it's a judgment call about the callback contract that a maintainer should confirm.

Other factors

I re-traced the paths after the follow-up commits: the cancelRetry() branch in #close() (backoff-parked slot) sets state to closed without calling #finishClose, so neither callback fires there — still paired. The onFinish !== null predicate is only ever set inside #close(), so it reliably marks pool-initiated teardown. Test coverage is solid: mock-server tests for both drivers, a reconnect-cycle test, and a real-postgres count-equality test. Given the API-semantic aspect and the inverted existing test, I'm deferring rather than auto-approving.
