Extracted from #39488 (commit 647d6bb, the rework of #38949) and rebased onto main. #39488 is conflicting and has not moved since Aug 20. If it ships as one unit instead, close this one.

Problem

  • BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 bun build --app aborts on a debug build right after "Loading configuration":
    This scope can throw a JS exception: moduleLoaderResolve @ src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp:3422
    But the exception was unchecked as of this scope: bakeModuleLoaderResolve @ src/runtime/bake/BakeGlobalObject.cpp:64
    
  • Cause: the loader hooks in src/runtime/bake/BakeGlobalObject.cpp hand off to the parent hooks with a plain return inside a live throw scope. The helpers in src/runtime/bake/BakeSourceProvider.cpp have no scope at all.

Fix

  • Every hand-off in the three hooks goes through RELEASE_AND_RETURN.
  • Each helper in BakeSourceProvider.cpp declares a throw scope, checks after every throwing call, and returns empty if and only if an exception is pending. BakeLoadInitialServerCode checks its call result too: JSC::call returns undefined on a throw.
  • src/runtime/bake/production.rs calls the externs through jsc::from_js_host_call, as DevServer.rs does. A real exception is printed, not carried into unrelated code.
  • Verified: test/bake/dev/production.test.ts gains an "exception checks" group and leaves test/no-validate-exceptions.txt. 15 of 15 pass under validation on a debug ASAN build. scripts/jsc-exception-lint: 12 findings to 1 on the two files.

Background

  • A native function that calls anything that can throw declares a ThrowScope. After each call it checks (RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION) or hands the check to its caller on a tail call (RELEASE_AND_RETURN). BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 makes a debug build simulate a throw at every scope exit and abort if a scope ends with it unchecked.
  • jsc::from_js_host_call is the Rust side of that rule. In debug builds it asserts that the callee returned empty exactly when an exception is pending.
  • bun build --app runs the config and the framework's server entry point in a VM with a Bake::GlobalObject. Its hooks serve the bake:/... output chunks and defer to the regular hooks for other keys.
Notes

Landing order with the open PRs that touch the same lines:

Repro on an unfixed debug build: a bun.app.ts with a custom framework (fileSystemRouterTypes: [{ root: "routes", style: "nextjs-pages", serverEntryPoint: "./server.ts" }]), no routes directory, BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 bun build --app ./bun.app.ts. It aborts naming moduleLoaderResolve / bakeModuleLoaderResolve. With only the resolve hook fixed, it aborts naming getModuleNamespaceObject / get @ JSObjectInlines.h:133.

The helpers with missing checks: BakeGetModuleNamespace, BakeGetDefaultExportFromModule, BakeGetOnModuleNamespace and BakeLoadModuleByKey. Their Rust callers in production.rs used the result without checking for a pending exception either.

Coverage check, done by reverting one hunk at a time on the fixed tree and rebuilding:

  • BakeSourceProvider.cpp reverted: "loading the server entry point and prerendering routes" fails naming getModuleNamespaceObject / get.
  • bakeModuleLoaderImportModule reverted: the same test fails naming requestImportModule / bakeModuleLoaderImportModule.
  • bakeModuleLoaderFetch hand-offs reverted: "a route importing a file outside the bundle while rendering" fails naming moduleLoaderFetch / bakeModuleLoaderFetch.
  • On the fully unfixed tree all three builds fail first at bakeModuleLoaderResolve. "a config import that fails to resolve" covers the case where the parent resolver really throws: it exits 1 with "Cannot find module" instead of aborting.

Other details:

  • The dead !keyString branch in bakeModuleLoaderImportModule is removed: a JSString value is null only when reading it threw, which now returns at the top of the function.
  • The final hand-off in bakeModuleLoaderFetch used to wrap the parent's result in a second rejected promise while leaving the exception pending. Zig::GlobalObject::moduleLoaderFetch already returns a rejected promise for that case, so RELEASE_AND_RETURN is equivalent.
  • BakeLoadInitialServerCode is the dev server's runtime init. Without the check, a throw there returned undefined, and DevServer::init_server_runtime panicked on "expected interface ... to be an object" with the real error left unprinted. Now the error is printed first.
  • The tests set BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 in the child env themselves, so any debug or ASAN run enforces them, not only the CI runner. Release builds ignore the option, so the group also checks the rendered output.
  • Static checker numbers are from bun scripts/jsc-exception-lint/run.ts --no-summaries on the two files. The one remaining finding is profiledCall after ImportMetaObject::create in BakeLoadInitialServerCode. create only allocates and cannot throw, so the signature convention flags it without summaries.
  • Other suites run under validation: test/bake/dev/{vfile,server-sourcemap,request-cookies,ssg-pages-router}.test.ts and test/bake/app-options.test.ts. cargo clippy -p bun_runtime and cargo fmt --check are clean.
  • Not changed here, same as in bake: consolidate the open robobun dev-server, HMR runtime, production build and router fixes #39488: the nine Global::crash() exits in production.rs, and the "Runtime file not found" panic for a custom framework with a routes directory, which is why the tests that need routes use the react fixture.

Status: ready for review at 5e2dc54.

Reproduced on an unfixed debug build: a bun.app.ts with a custom framework and no routes directory, run as BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 bun build --app ./bun.app.ts, aborts after "Loading configuration" naming moduleLoaderResolve / bakeModuleLoaderResolve. With the resolve hook fixed alone, it aborts naming getModuleNamespaceObject / JSObject::get. The react builds in test/bake/dev/production.test.ts then abort in bakeModuleLoaderImportModule, and a page that imports a file outside the bundle aborts in bakeModuleLoaderFetch.

Verified: the three new tests fail on the unfixed tree and pass with the fix. All 15 tests in the file pass under BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 on a debug ASAN build, and the file leaves test/no-validate-exceptions.txt.

Self-reviewed: 5 concerns raised, 5 addressed. This PR is declared as an extraction of #39488 commit 647d6bb (#38949); the no-routes test is left out because it sits on the bundler teardown race #39855 fixes; the Windows skip is a todoIf that cites #39092; BakeGetOnModuleNamespace uses the FfiSlice key signature from #40261 so that rebase is small; #41163 is asked to drop its suppression entry once this lands.

Review follow-ups: 33d83ce makes a missing module registry entry throw a TypeError instead of dereferencing null in release builds. cf24047 shortens the contract comments. f34330b copies the namespace property key before interning it. 5e2dc54 makes the tests assert the whole build output so an unrelated build failure shows its stderr.

Walkthrough

Changes

Bake module-loading callbacks and C++ FFI entry points now preserve JavaScript exceptions and use encoded values. Rust production wrappers propagate these errors through JsResult. Production tests validate configuration, prerendering, dynamic routes, and external module loading.

Changes

Bake exception propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
C++ callback and FFI exception contracts
src/runtime/bake/BakeGlobalObject.cpp, src/runtime/bake/BakeSourceProvider.cpp
Callbacks establish exception scopes earlier and return delegated results. Module and namespace APIs use encoded values and propagate pending exceptions.
Rust production FFI wrappers
src/runtime/bake/production.rs
Configuration, route, module, namespace, and property lookups use JsResult wrappers for JavaScript error propagation.
Exception validation coverage
test/bake/dev/production.test.ts, test/no-validate-exceptions.txt
Production tests enable exception validation and cover unresolved imports, prerendering, dynamic routes, and external module loading.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5e2dc

The PR improves exception handling in production build loader paths, but namespace property key construction may still mishandle Unicode lookups or retain invalid backing storage. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on that bounded correctness risk.

188-188: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Copy and decode the UTF-8 key before interning it.

BakeModuleNamespaceKey carries a borrowed byte slice. StringImpl::createWithoutCopying treats it as existing Latin-1 data and does not copy it. Identifier::fromString then atomizes that data in place. This can misread non-ASCII keys and retain the borrowed buffer after the FFI call. Use an owned String::fromUTF8(...) conversion before interning the key. Add an ASAN test for a non-ASCII namespace property.

On the out-of-diff finding in BakeGetOnModuleNamespace: done in f34330b. The key is now copied with String::fromUTF8 before Identifier::fromString interns it, so neither the Latin-1 reading nor the borrowed buffer can reach the atom table. The two callers pass ASCII literals, so no test changes: the existing prerender test reads prerender and getParams through this path and still passes under validation.

bun build --app fails JSC exception validation while it loads any config,
in bakeModuleLoaderResolve. #41185 fixes that, and
test/bake/dev/production.test.ts is exempt from validation for the same
reason. This row checks the length of a router root, so it turns
validation off for its own spawn only.
