Conversation
DiffFormatter::fmt dropped the JsResult of both JestPrettyFormat::format calls. When the received value threw while it was formatted (for example a RegExp whose toString returns a Symbol), the expected value was formatted with that exception still pending. JSC's exception scope assertion then aborted the process in debug builds. Map the JsError to fmt::Error, like the other Display adapters in the test runner. The matcher then throws its own error with the partial message. matcherHint built its result with format!, which panics on fmt::Error. It now writes into a buffer and returns the pending exception instead.

Assert subprocess output before exitCode.
Line 64 checks stdout, stderr, and exitCode in one assertion. Split these assertions. Assert stdout and stderr first. Assert exitCode last.
As per coding guidelines: “When spawning processes, tests should expect(stdout).toBe(...) BEFORE expect(exitCode).toBe(0).” Based on learnings, assert exitCode after stdout and stderr checks.

LGTM — targeted fix that replaces two let _ = ...; // TODO: with the same .map_err(js_error_to_write_error)? pattern already used by AllCallsFormatter/ReturnsFormatter, and swaps a panicking format! for a fallible write! in matcherHint.
What was reviewed:
- Traced every
DiffFormatterconsumer: the JSValue-path callers (toEqual/toStrictEqual/toMatchObject/toBe/toHave*) all reach the formatter viathrow!→JSGlobalObject::error_message, which already clears the pending exception onfmt::Error; the string-only callers insnapshot.rsand the two snapshot paths inexpect.rsnever enter the changed branch. - Checked the
matcherHintfallback: ifwrite!fails without a pending exception it returns the partial buffer (matcheserror_message's convention); if one is pending it propagatesJsError::Thrown. - Test follows harness conventions (spawn with
-e, concurrent pipe drain, single{stdout, stderr, exitCode}assertion) and lives next to the existingSymbol.toPrimitivecrash test.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes a debug-build assertion abort (and, in release, an accidental exception-leak) in bun:test's diff formatter. DiffFormatter::fmt in src/runtime/test_runner/diff_format.rs previously discarded the Result from two JestPrettyFormat::format calls with let _ = ...; // TODO:, so a JS exception thrown while formatting the received value stayed pending while the expected value was formatted, tripping JSC's assertNoExceptionExceptTermination. The fix propagates both results via .map_err(js_error_to_write_error)?, the exact pattern already used by AllCallsFormatter and the returns formatter in expect.rs. The one caller that consumed the formatter via format! (ExpectMatcherUtils::matcherHint) is switched to an explicit write! that returns Err(JsError::Thrown) when a JS exception is pending, avoiding the format! panic on fmt::Error.
Security risks
None. This is error-propagation plumbing in the test-runner's failure-message formatting path. No input parsing, auth, crypto, or resource handling is touched.
Level of scrutiny
Low-to-moderate. The diff is ~25 lines of source across two files, replaces explicit TODOs with the established in-tree idiom, and does not introduce new control flow beyond an early return. I audited every DiffFormatter consumer to confirm the newly-possible fmt::Error is handled: all JSValue-path callers go through throw! → JSGlobalObject::error_message, which explicitly handles fmt::Error by clearing the exception and using the partial message (per its doc comment at JSGlobalObject.rs:732-742). The string-only callers (snapshot.rs:477, expect.rs:1064, expect.rs:1243) set received: None/expected: None and never enter the changed branch. The matcherHint change mirrors error_message's shape but propagates rather than clears, which is correct since it returns a string to user code rather than throwing a matcher error.
Other factors
The test is well-constructed: it lives in the existing expect-symbol-toPrimitive-crash.test.ts alongside the sibling single-value-path test, spawns with -e, drains pipes concurrently, and asserts a combined {stdout, stderr, exitCode} object with exact error-class and first-line message for each of the four covered entry points. The PR description documents USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 failure and unfixed-debug-build abort. No CODEOWNERS entry covers these paths. The bug hunt ran to exhaustion (dry_streak) with no findings.

Superseded by #40068, which moves the value formatting out of Display::fmt into a fallible DiffFormatter::new and propagates the error from every caller, matcherHint included. I ran the test file from this PR against main with #40068 merged: no abort. The toStrictEqual, toEqual and toMatchObject cases report the TypeError from toString (the behavior #40068 picks) instead of the matcher's own error, and the matcherHint case passes as written. The coverage moves to #40919, a test-only PR on top of #40068 with the expectations updated to the propagated error. Closing in favor of #40068. |

Fixes a debug assertion abort in
bun:testfound by fuzzing. The input is a value whose string conversion throws, compared with a matcher that prints a diff:Debug builds abort with:
Root cause
DiffFormatter::fmt(src/runtime/test_runner/diff_format.rs) formats the received value and then the expected value. Both results were dropped withlet _ = ...; // TODO:. When the firstJestPrettyFormat::formatthrew, theTypeErrorstayed pending on the VM. The secondformatcall then reachedJSC__JSValue__getOwn, which asserts that no exception is pending.Stack at the assertion:
DiffFormatter::fmt(diff_format.rs:56) ->JestPrettyFormat::format_adapted->Tag::get(pretty_format.rs:501) ->get_own_truthy->JSC__JSValue__getOwn(bindings.cpp:4602).The fix
The fixing lines are the two
.map_err(js_error_to_write_error)?inDiffFormatter::fmt. This is the same pattern the otherDisplayadapters in the test runner use (AllCallsFormatter,ZigFormatter). The first failure now returnsfmt::Errorand the second value is not formatted.The matchers consume the formatter through
global.throw(format_args!(..)).error_messagealready handles afmt::Errorthere: it clears the pending exception and throws the matcher error with the partial message. That is the documented convention ("better to just return the formatting string than an error about an error") and matches whattoBeand the other single value matchers already do.ExpectMatcherUtils.matcherHintbuilt its string withformat!, which panics when aDisplayimpl returnsErr. It now writes into a buffer and returns the pending exception to the caller, the same waystringify,printExpectedandprintReceivedsurface a throwing inspect.Behavior change
In release builds,
toEqual/toStrictEqual/toMatchObjecton such a value threw theTypeErrorby accident: the pending exception was picked up when the matcher error was thrown. They now throw the matcher error, like.not.toBedoes on the same input.matcherHintstill throws theTypeError.How did you verify your code works?
