Problem

  • The npm cache folder is <name>@<version>@@<hostname>@@@1. Two registries on one host (a Nexus or Artifactory path, two Verdaccio ports) share it. The second project links the first registry's bytes with no tarball request.
  • Cause: cached_npm_package_folder_name_print (src/install/PackageManager/PackageManagerDirectories.rs) keys on scope.url.hostname only.

Fix

  • A non-default registry's folder is @@<host>__<16 hex>@@@1. The hex is scope.url_hash, the registry URL hash that names the packument cache. Default-registry folders do not change.
  • Callers pass resolution.npm().url. A lockfile tarball on another registry, nested ones included, is keyed by its own URL.
  • Verified: test/cli/install/bun-install.test.ts (registries that share a hostname, 6 tests, fail on the released build). Also bun-lock, bun-patch, config-precedence, run-autoinstall.

Background

Downsides

  • Each cached package from a non-default registry moves once, also on single-registry hosts (npmmirror, JSR, GitHub Packages). The next install downloads it again (measured: 1 tarball request, 0 manifest requests). Until then bun install --offline fails with --offline: "<name>" is not in the cache.
  • Per call: at most five slice compares and a 32-byte scan, no allocation or syscall. path_for_resolution (auto-install) adds 1 allocation.
  • Still open: a lockfile URL under registry.npmjs.org that names another package fills the registry's folder, as before.
Notes

Reproduction (two stub registries on one host, different port and path):

W=$(mktemp -d); cd $W; export HOME=$W/home BUN_INSTALL_CACHE_DIR=$W/cache; mkdir -p $HOME
# reg.js: serves /<prefix>/foo and /<prefix>/foo/-/foo-1.0.0.tgz, index.js exports the variant name
node reg.js 4873 /npm-public PUBLIC & node reg.js 4874 /npm-private PRIVATE &
for p in A B; do mkdir $p; echo '{"name":"'$p'","dependencies":{"foo":"1.0.0"}}' > $p/package.json; done
printf '[install]\nregistry = "http://127.0.0.1:4873/npm-public/"\n'  > A/bunfig.toml
printf '[install]\nregistry = "http://127.0.0.1:4874/npm-private/"\n' > B/bunfig.toml
(cd A && bun install && bun -p 'require("foo")')   # PUBLIC
(cd B && bun install && bun -p 'require("foo")')   # before: PUBLIC, one foo@1.0.0@@127.0.0.1@@@1
                                                   # after: PRIVATE, foo@1.0.0@@127.0.0.1__<hex>@@@1 per registry

The same collision decides whose postinstall runs when the package is in trustedDependencies, and --frozen-lockfile reinstalls keep linking the wrong bytes.

Folder names

  • foo@1.0.0@@@1: default registry (unchanged).
  • foo@1.0.0@@nexus.corp__<16 hex>@@@1: non-default registry. The hex is the hash of the registry URL, the same url_hash as in <id>-<url_hash>.npm.
  • foo@1.0.0@@other.host__<16 hex>@@@1: a tarball URL that is not <configured registry>/<name>/-/… and not under registry.npmjs.org. That is a lockfile URL from another registry (also one nested under the configured registry), or a registry with its own tarball layout (GitHub Packages, JSR). The hex is the hash of that URL.

The host is shown only when it is a plain name: at most 32 bytes of [A-Za-z0-9.-]. A bracketed IPv6 host, or a host with any other byte, is left out (foo@1.0.0@@__<16 hex>@@@1). The host can now come from a tarball URL in a lockfile or a manifest, so it must not put an arbitrary byte into a path component. The hash carries the identity.

bun.lock writes an npmjs tarball URL as "" and rebuilds it under the configured registry on the next install. A tarball in the configured registry's own layout (<registry>/<name>/-/…, what build_url writes), a tarball under registry.npmjs.org, and an empty URL therefore all name the registry's folder, so the lockfile round trip stays a cache hit. The test asserts this: the --frozen-lockfile reinstall issues no second tarball request. The npmjs test is a prefix test because bun.lock drops every URL under that prefix. The configured registry's test is a layout test because a prefix test also matches a registry nested under it (https://host/nested/ under https://host/).

The one-time move, measured. A cache that the released build filled for http://127.0.0.1:<port>/npm-private/ holds foo@1.0.0@@127.0.0.1@@@1. With that cache:

  • released build, fresh project, bun install --offline: installs.
  • this branch, fresh project, bun install --offline: error: --offline: "foo" is not in the cache, exit code 1.
  • this branch, one online install: 1 tarball request, 0 manifest requests, creates foo@1.0.0@@127.0.0.1__03fc82788f9cc6ac@@@1. The old folder stays on disk until bun pm cache rm.
  • this branch, bun install --offline after that: installs.

There is no fallback probe of the old name on purpose. An old @@<host>@@@1 folder does not record which registry on that host filled it, so reading it back is the collision this PR removes.

Alternative a maintainer may prefer. Keep the old name for a registry at an https root with the default port (https://host/) and add the hash only for a port, a path, or http. Distinct registry URLs still get distinct names, and npmmirror, JSR and GitHub Packages users pay nothing. The cost: on a host that serves a root registry and a second registry, a folder that the second registry filled before the upgrade stays reachable from the root registry. This PR hashes every non-default registry so that no old folder is read.

Still open, by design. A lockfile that pins name@version to another package's tarball under registry.npmjs.org names the registry's folder, as every lockfile URL did before this change. (For a non-default configured registry the layout test now sends such a URL to its own folder.) That needs a hostile or hand-edited lockfile. The model in #37756 treats the cache directory as the trust boundary for that case, so this PR does not add a rule for it.

Auto-install. The <cache>/<name>/<version>... index symlink follows the folder name. resolve_from_disk_cache (--prefer-offline in the runtime) passes an empty URL and gets the registry's folder. That path did not resolve a non-default-registry package before this change either (reproduced on the released build). It is a separate bug and this PR does not change it.

Per-call cost, from the diff. cached_npm_package_folder_name_print adds url_is_under_registry against the default registry (one prefix compare, the only added work for a default-registry package) and, when that fails, is_package_tarball_on_registry against the configured registry (four slice compares). URL::parse of the tarball URL runs only for a tarball that names neither registry's folder. folder_name_host scans at most 32 host bytes for a non-default registry. Binary size is not measured (no release builds of the two commits were made). The source change is about 50 lines in one file.

History of this PR. The first revision keyed the folder by the lockfile integrity. That is the shape #37756 rejected, and it needed an integrity parameter on compute_cache_dir_and_subpath that #39016 also adds with a different encoding. The second keyed by the raw tarball URL. Review found the "" round trip described above. A later review found that a prefix test let a registry nested under the configured one fill its folder. The layout test and a fourth test cover that. A self-check then restricted the host part of the name to a plain name, and a review asked for a test of the registry.npmjs.org clause. The branch was rebased onto main on 2026-09-30.

Test runs (debug builds, machine load average above 600).

  • The 6 tests of the new block pass at a0bb5d6 and fail on the released build. The IPv6 one needs an IPv6 loopback, so Linux CI skips it (isIPv6()). It ran here.
  • bun-install.test.ts at 5f90589: 249 pass. The 13 failures need the public internet (bitbucket, gitlab, https://some.url), as on main.
  • At 5f90589: bun-lock.test.ts 40 pass, bun-patch.test.ts 37 pass, config-precedence.test.ts 51 pass, test/cli/run/run-autoinstall.test.ts 12 pass.
  • bun-install-registry.test.ts and bun-add.test.ts were last run locally before the rebase, with the same diff minus the layout test.
  • VerdaccioRegistry.cacheFolderName(cacheDir, name, version) in test/harness.ts finds the folder by pattern for the three existing tests that asserted @@localhost@@@1.

Two flaky tests met on the way. Both fail the same way on the released build.

  • bun-install-offline.test.ts: error: --offline: no cached manifest for "baz" right after an online install of baz. Released build: 4 of 12 runs of the file fail this way. The manifest file is missing, not the extraction folder.
  • isolated-install.test.ts, ranged peer dependency resolution is stable across installs from bun.lock: the fresh install binds the peer to no-deps@1.0.1 (+f8a822eca018d0a1) and not to 1.1.0. Released build: 4 of 14 runs.

no test proof · iteration 3 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/cli/install/bun-install.test.ts, test/cli/install/bun-install-registry.test.ts

Walkthrough

NPM cache-folder naming now uses the resolved tarball URL. Resolution paths pass the URL into cache-path generation. Tests cover distinct cache entries for registries with different paths or ports and lockfile tarball URL reuse.

Changes

NPM cache identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
URL-aware cache naming
src/install/PackageManager/PackageManagerDirectories.rs
Cache-folder naming accepts the tarball URL. Registry URLs use registry host and hash components. Other URLs use the parsed hostname and a hash of the full URL.

Status: reproduced with two stub registries on one host (different port and path). Project B linked project A's bytes with no tarball request, and wrote its own registry's sha512 into bun.lock. With this branch, B fetches its own tarball and the cache holds one folder per registry URL. The 6 tests under registries that share a hostname in test/cli/install/bun-install.test.ts fail on the released build and pass on this branch.

Current shape (a0bb5d6): the folder of a non-default-registry package is keyed by the full registry URL (the same url_hash as the packument cache). A tarball that a lockfile pins to another registry, including one nested under the configured registry's URL, is keyed by its own URL. The host is shown in the name only when it is a plain name. Default-registry folders are unchanged.

One cost needs a maintainer's decision and is under Downsides in the description: every cached package from a non-default registry moves once, so bun install --offline against a cache from an older build fails until one online install. The Notes describe an alternative that spares registries at an https root.

CI: the last finished run was build 122040, two source commits ago. 177 of 181 jobs passed. The 4 failed jobs were timeouts on the x64-asan lane in sourcetextmodule-leak, require-cache, html-rewriter-leak and node fs tests. The same tests failed on builds of unrelated branches started in the same 20 minutes, and none of them runs bun install.

… the registry hostname

The npm extraction cache folder was <name>@<version>@@<hostname>@@@1. Two
registries on one host (a Nexus or Artifactory repository path, two
Verdaccio ports) shared one slot, so the first registry to extract
foo@1.0.0 served every project configured for the other. A lockfile that
pinned another registry's tarball URL filled the configured registry's
slot the same way.

The slot is now named by what fills it: @@<tarball host>__<16 hex>, where
the hex is the first 8 bytes of the integrity the registry or lockfile
advertised, or the hash of the tarball URL when the registry gave none.
Tarballs on registry.npmjs.org keep the <name>@<version>@@@1 slot.
…egistry hostname

The slot was named after the configured registry's hostname. Two
registries on one host (a Nexus or Artifactory repository path, two
Verdaccio ports) shared it, and a lockfile that pinned another
registry's tarball filled it too. The slot is now keyed by the tarball
URL the bytes come from. Tarballs on registry.npmjs.org keep
<name>@<version>@@@1.
… is on it or on registry.npmjs.org

bun.lock stores a registry.npmjs.org tarball URL as an empty string and
rebuilds it under the configured registry on the next install. Keying
the slot by the raw tarball URL put those two installs in different
slots for a registry whose packuments point at registry.npmjs.org. A
tarball on the configured registry or on registry.npmjs.org now keys the
slot by the configured registry URL. A tarball on neither (a lockfile
URL from another registry) stays keyed by its own URL.

Rebased onto main bf42a52 for a fresh CI run (was 3080a68, now b53d977). There was no conflict and the diff is unchanged: the added and removed lines are the same as before.

Checked on a local debug build of bf42a52 with this branch and 12 other rebased branches merged in: the 3 registries that share a hostname tests of bun-install.test.ts and config-precedence.test.ts (51 tests) pass.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the deleted hostname > 32 || available < 64 branch in cached_npm_package_folder_name_print for a new fixed-buffer overflow: the suffix is now bounded (@@ + 32-byte hostname cap + __ + 16 hex + @@@<ver>), ByteCursor::put uses bounds-checked slicing, and the basename already wrote the package name unbounded before this change, so the removal introduces no new overflow class.

Extended reasoning...

The diff threads the tarball URL into the npm cache slot name across seven call sites and always appends a 16-hex registry/tarball URL hash for non-default registries; three verified findings are posted inline, so this body only records one additional concern that was examined and ruled out.

A directory listing never holds the same name twice, so comparing the

…in that registry's own layout

A prefix test let a lockfile tarball from a registry nested under the
configured registry's URL (https://host/nested/ under https://host/)
fill the configured registry's folder. The folder is now used only for
<registry>/<name>/-/..., which is what build_url writes. Any other URL
keeps a folder keyed by that URL.
