bunx: stop passing --force to the spawned install on every dist-tag run by robobun · Pull Request #41226 · oven-sh/bun

robobun · 2026-09-03T01:57:28Z

Fixes #41211, fixes #23597

Problem

bunx <pkg>@latest spawns bun add <pkg>@latest --no-cache --force on every run (bunx_command.rs:1341 on main). --force links every cached package again. On Windows that costs 30 s or more.
A bare bunx <pkg> pays the same on every run after the first day: the age check (bunx_command.rs:1123) reads the hardlinked install cache file, whose mtime no install renews.

Fix

The spawned install passes --force in two cases only: the cached binary is not owned by the current user, or a first install without --force left no bin to run. Then bunx installs once more with --force and looks again. A healthy warm run runs one install, without --force.
Read the age of a tree from its .bin entry (lstat). Every install creates it again.
In the install bunx spawns (BUN_INTERNAL_BUNX_INSTALL), the bin linker (src/install/bin.rs) removes an existing .bin entry whose target file is gone. On Windows that entry is a shim that runs on its own, so without this the lookup found a bin and the forced install never ran. A project install keeps the entry: a build script can still create its target.
Correct because --no-cache fetches the manifest again, so bun add <pkg>@<tag> installs the version the tag names (bun create uses the latest locally cached version even when the @latest tag is provided #4981). A tree that an interrupted install left without some files still heals: the second, forced install links every package again.
Verified: test/cli/install/bunx.test.ts, block bunx cache (5 tests). Run on Linux against this change and against main.

Background

bunx keeps each package in <temp>/bunx-<uid>-<pkg>@<version>. For a dist-tag it spawns bun add there on every run.
--no-cache disables the manifest cache. --force also installs packages whose version already matches. Without it the installer keeps a package whose package.json name and version match, even when other files are missing.
Considered a forced install every 24 hours (a tool used once a day pays on every run) and an error that names the directory to remove (the user repairs by hand what main repaired on its own).

Downsides

A package whose bin names a file it does not ship runs two installs per run instead of one before it fails.
A bare bunx <pkg> on Linux and macOS follows latest once per 24 hours, not on every run after day one.
Binary: +256 bytes text, +0 data at ead653c (llvm-size, release, main 2722608). Not measured again for the later commits.

Notes

Measured on Linux x64, release builds, hardlink backend, loopback registry. The tree is one tool with 20 dependencies (21 packages, 83 files). The counts are syscalls of the spawned bun add (ptrace counter). The builds are main 2722608 and 0058284.

Earlier measurements on a 16 vCPU Windows VM with no antivirus, canary bun: warm bun x shadcn@latest --help 2.2 s vs 1.0 s on Linux. The spawned install in the warm cache dir: --no-cache --force 1.61 s, --no-cache alone 0.07 s. The cost is the forced re-link of 252 packages, which Defender amplifies on user machines.
On Windows the age check already reads the .bin shim, which every install writes again. There a stale bare-name run was one forced install per 24 hours. It is now one plain install per 24 hours.
The tag still moves at once in both directions. The test moves latest from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 and back.
A package that declares no bin gets one install and the error: a forced install cannot add a bin.
The retry: the install and the two bin probes now sit in a loop that runs at most twice. The loop re-indents that block, so most of the diff in bunx_command.rs is whitespace. git diff -w shows the change itself (about 26 lines).
A file that another local user plants is a different case. bunx refuses a cache directory that is not owned by the current user or that group or others can write (is_trusted_cache_root).
Not changed: the second age check (get_bin_name_from_temp_directory, root package.json mtime). For a package whose bin is not named after the package, a bare-name or pinned run still deletes the tree once per 24 hours.
The tool no longer inherits BUN_INTERNAL_BUNX_INSTALL from the spawned install. On main that variable only changed argv dispatch, so the leak was harmless. Now the bin linker reads it, and an install the tool spawns in the user's project (shadcn runs bun add) must not. A test runs a bin that prints the variable.
The Windows CI lanes run the tests. The two retry tests and the marker test fail on the branch head before the retry commit and on main.

no test proof · iteration 1 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/cli/install/bunx.test.ts

Every bunx pkg@latest run spawned bun add pkg@latest --no-cache --force. The --force flag re-installs every package in the cached tree on each invocation. That re-link is cheap on macOS and Linux but slow on Windows, where it does per-file work and antivirus software scans each file. Only --no-cache is needed for a dist-tag. It re-fetches the manifest, and bun add pkg@tag re-installs the package when the tag moved. Keep --force for the two paths that must refresh or replace an existing tree: a stale cache (older than 24 hours) and an untrusted cached binary. Fixes #41211

Walkthrough

bunx separates cache invalidation from forced reinstalls and retries once with --force if installation does not produce a resolvable executable. It also removes bin links or shims with missing targets. Tests cover registry checks, cache reuse, stale entries, and missing binaries.

Changes

bunx cache refresh

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cache validation `src/runtime/cli/bunx_command.rs`	`bunx` tracks forced reinstalls separately from cache invalidation. Untrusted binaries trigger both `--no-cache` and `--force`. On non-Windows systems, stale checks use `lstat` on the bin entry.
Install and executable resolution `src/runtime/cli/bunx_command.rs`, `src/install/bin.rs`	`bunx` builds install arguments from the cache and force flags, then checks for the requested bin or the package’s resolved bin name. If the first install produces no executable, it retries once with `--force`. Missing-target bin links or shims are removed.
Cache refresh tests `test/cli/install/bunx.test.ts`	Mock-registry tests check warm caches, moved `latest` tags, stale entries, and missing binaries. They also check registry requests and cached marker changes.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1907d

A failed shim removal can leave bunx using a stale executable instead of retrying installation on Windows. This is a narrow cache-recovery case; report removal failures so the fallback does not proceed as if cleanup succeeded.

LGTM — small, well-scoped split of one flag into two, with tests pinning both the new fast path and the preserved correctness.

What was reviewed:

force_reinstall is set alongside do_cache_bust at all three tree-replacement sites (untrusted×2, stale), so --force is only dropped on the plain dist-tag path where look_for_existing_bin is false and none of those sites run.
BoundedArray<&[u8], 8> still holds the worst case (4 base + --no-cache + --force + --verbose + --silent); every force_reinstall = true also sets do_cache_bust = true, so the arg count is unchanged.
Tests: marker-survives proves --force is gone on warm @ latest; utimesSync-aged stale test proves --force is kept; moved-tag test proves #4981 stays fixed with --no-cache alone. tar -czf via Bun.$ matches the sibling bun-install-git-deps.test.ts pattern.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR touches two files: src/runtime/cli/bunx_command.rs (net +10/-1) and test/cli/install/bunx.test.ts (+140). The Rust change introduces a force_reinstall: bool alongside the existing do_cache_bust, sets it at the three sites that already set do_cache_bust = true inside the 'try_run_existing block (untrusted cached binary on both probes, and the >24h stale check), and splits the single if do_cache_bust { --no-cache; --force } into two independent if blocks. The net effect: a plain bunx pkg@<dist-tag> run — where look_for_existing_bin is false and the block that sets force_reinstall never executes — now spawns bun add pkg@ tag --no-cache without --force, while every path that previously replaced a cached tree still passes --force.

Security risks

None introduced. The two security-relevant paths (is_trusted_cached_binary failures) still set both do_cache_bust and force_reinstall, so an untrusted cached tree is still force-replaced exactly as before. No new inputs are parsed, no new filesystem paths are derived from untrusted data, and the BoundedArray capacity invariant is unchanged. The tests use the local dummyRegistry fixture and locally-built tarballs — no external network.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The Rust diff is a mechanical flag split with no new control flow; correctness reduces to "is --no-cache alone sufficient to pick up a moved dist-tag?" — which the third new test proves against a registry whose latest tag flips between runs. I traced that look_for_existing_bin = literal.is_empty() || tag != DistTag is false for pkg@ latest, so the dist-tag path never enters the block that could set force_reinstall, confirming the intended behavior change is scoped exactly to that case. The .expect("unreachable") on BoundedArray::append is still bounded at 8 (4 base args + up to 4 optional flags).

Other factors

The three new tests are well-designed: the planted-marker approach is a direct observable for --force (fails on unfixed bun per the PR description, satisfying the USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 rule), the stale test uses utimesSync to backdate mtimes rather than sleeping (no time-based waits), and stderr/stdout are asserted before exit code per test/CLAUDE.md. tmpdirSync and tar -czf match existing patterns in this file and its sibling bun-install-git-deps.test.ts. No CODEOWNERS cover these paths. The three self-resolved bot inline threads correspond to the comment-trimming commits (60be45e, ef51d40) and appear addressed. No human CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews are outstanding.

robobun · 2026-09-24T06:14:59Z

Status of the gap that this comment first reported from a read of the code.

Reproduced. On Linux, with a local registry and a package tool that has one dependency:

Run bunx tool@latest.
Delete node_modules/tool/cli.js (the bin target) from the cached tree. Leave its package.json.
Run bunx tool@latest again.

main runs the tool, because --force links the package again. Without --force the run failed with error: could not determine executable to run for package tool.

Closed in this PR. When the first install leaves no bin, bunx installs once more with --force. Measured on Linux at ead653c with release builds and a tree of 21 packages:

Run	Installs	`linkat`	Result
healthy warm `bunx tool@latest`	1	0	runs (main: 83 `linkat`)
bin target deleted, `tool@latest`, `tool`, `tool@1.0.0`	2	83 in the second	runs

Windows. At ead653c the test a tree an earlier install left without its bin file is linked again failed on Windows 2019 x64 (Buildkite 121842): the old .bin/tool.exe shim stayed, bunx found it, and the second install did not run. 61875d3 makes the install that bunx spawns remove a .bin entry whose target is gone. Buildkite 121856 on 144657c passed on every lane, Windows included.

Still open, for a maintainer. A missing or replaced file of a dependency is not repaired when the bin is intact. main repaired it on the next dist-tag run as a side effect of --force. npx does not repair it either.

The alternative on branch robobun/4ed8efe6/bunx-cache-backup (the install probes the bin target in its reuse check) is not needed for this PR.

@robobun can you get this merged in?

robobun · 2026-09-27T07:07:01Z

I cannot merge. A maintainer has to review and merge this PR.

Current state: the change is ready. The new tests pass on Linux and Windows, and both bot reviews found no issues. The only CI failures are on unrelated tests that pass on retry, so nothing blocks a review.

…-dist-tag-no-force

… from its .bin entry A tree older than 24 hours asks the registry again and is not re-linked. The age of a tree is the age of its .bin entry (lstat), which every install renews. The stat through the link read the hardlinked install cache file, whose mtime no install renews, so each run after the first day was a forced install. The failure message names the directory to remove.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the >24h stale-tree path now that it no longer passes --force: the spawned bun add still re-creates every .bin symlink for skipped packages (bin.rs create_symlink deletes on EEXIST and links again), so the lstat mtime is renewed and the tree reads as fresh on the next run, as the new stale test asserts. Note the PR description still says --force is kept for trees older than 24 hours; at HEAD force_reinstall is set only on the two untrusted-tree breaks, so the description is out of date relative to the code and tests.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches src/runtime/cli/bunx_command.rs (splitting do_cache_bust into --no-cache vs a new force_reinstall gate for --force, switching the POSIX staleness check to lstat on the .bin entry, and adding a note on the executable-not-found exit) plus a new "bunx cache" describe block in test/cli/install/bunx.test.ts backed by an in-process Bun.serve registry. No security-sensitive surface is touched. The confirmed inline finding about damaged trees no longer self-repairing on dist-tag runs, the hunt being cut off at max_bugs, and the description/code mismatch on the stale path are why a human should decide rather than an approval.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

… bin An install without --force keeps every package whose version already matches. A tree that an interrupted install left without some files therefore stays broken, where the forced install repaired it before. When the bin lookup after the install fails, run the install once more with --force and look again. A healthy warm run still runs one install without --force. The test fixtures live in one disposable temp directory.

The bin linker skips a bin whose target does not exist. An entry from an earlier install that points at that file stayed behind. On Windows that entry is a shim that exists on its own, so bunx found a bin, ran it, and the shim failed on the missing file. Remove the entry, so a lookup finds no bin and bunx installs once more with --force.

In a project, a build script can still create the target, and a link that exists already works once it does. The bunx tree has no build step, so there the stale entry only hides the missing file from bunx.

The install bunx spawns reads BUN_INTERNAL_BUNX_INSTALL. The tool ran with the same environment, so an install the tool spawned in the user's project read it too.

claude

I reviewed the latest push (375552d) and found no bugs; the marker-inheritance issue raised on the previous version is addressed. Because this changes when bunx re-installs and follows a dist-tag, a human look at the tradeoffs is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

Marker scoping: BUN_INTERNAL_BUNX_INSTALL is snapshotted into envp (an owned copy) before env_loader.map.remove, and Run::run_binary builds the tool's environment from that map, so the tool and any install it spawns no longer see it; the env-probe test pins this.
Retry loop: args are rebuilt per pass (4 base + 4 optional fits BoundedArray<_, 8>), envp is reused as an owned value, MiniEventLoop::init_global is idempotent on the second pass, and the loop exits after at most two installs or on NoBinFound.
lstat staleness check: Linker::create_symlink deletes and re-creates an existing .bin link on EEXIST, so its mtime is renewed by every install as the PR claims.
bin.rs stale-entry removal: gated on the feature flag read in the spawned bun add only; project installs, bun link, and global installs keep the base behavior.

Extended reasoning...

The change touches src/runtime/cli/bunx_command.rs (install spawn wrapped in a two-pass loop, --force limited to untrusted trees or a first install that left no bin, lstat for the POSIX age check, marker removed from the tool's env), src/install/bin.rs (unlink a dangling .bin entry only under the bunx-install flag), and adds a hermetic bunx cache suite with a local registry. The security-relevant surface is the world-writable bunx cache: the uid trust checks still force a reinstall on an untrusted entry, and the unlink is scoped by the flag to the bunx child. No CODEOWNER covers the changed files and no third-party objection is outstanding (coderabbit threads were resolved by a non-author). Deferring rather than approving because the PR intentionally changes user-visible semantics (bare-name runs on POSIX now follow latest at most once per 24 hours; packages with no runnable bin pay two installs before failing), which a maintainer should ratify.

install: remove a .bin entry whose target is gone only in a bunx tree

61875d3

In a project, a build script can still create the target, and a link that exists already works once it does. The bunx tree has no build step, so there the stale entry only hides the missing file from bunx.

bunx: do not pass the install marker on to the tool

375552d

The install bunx spawns reads BUN_INTERNAL_BUNX_INSTALL. The tool ran with the same environment, so an install the tool spawned in the user's project read it too.
