…pshot The snapshot file was opened with O_CREAT, and __snapshots__/ was created, before the runner knew whether it may add an entry. In CI without --update-snapshots the entry is refused, and a header-only .snap file was left behind. Read the existing .snap file at first use. Create the directory and the file in write_snapshot_file, and only when an entry was added.

WalkthroughSnapshot handling now stores paths and metadata instead of open snapshot handles. Existing contents load into memory, while directory and file creation occur only for dirty writes. Inline snapshots use direct file handles. CI tests verify rejected updates preserve files and directories. ChangesSnapshot persistence

🌐 Web query:
libuv uv_fs_mkdir Windows trailing slash path CreateDirectoryW
💡 Result:
In libuv, uv_fs_mkdir on Windows internally utilizes the Win32 CreateDirectoryW API [1][2]. Regarding the behavior of CreateDirectoryW with trailing slashes, it is important to note the following: 1. Path Handling: The Windows CreateDirectoryW function generally does not support a trailing backslash or forward slash for the path argument [3]. If a path ends in a trailing slash, CreateDirectoryW typically fails with ERROR_INVALID_NAME or equivalent errors, as the system expects a valid directory name component and not a path terminator [3][4]. 2. Libuv's Implementation: Historically, libuv moved from using the C runtime function _wmkdir to CreateDirectoryW to better handle wide-character paths and file modes [1][2]. Libuv does not explicitly strip trailing slashes in its general uv_fs_mkdir implementation; therefore, if the input path passed to uv_fs_mkdir contains a trailing slash, it will be passed directly to the underlying CreateDirectoryW call, which will likely result in a failure [3]. 3. Context in Junctions/Symlinks: While recent libuv development has involved discussions and changes regarding trailing slashes (specifically in the context of junctions and symbolic links to ensure compatibility) [5][6], these changes are specific to those subsystems and do not imply that uv_fs_mkdir arbitrarily handles trailing slashes for standard directory creation [5]. In summary, when using uv_fs_mkdir on Windows, you should ensure the input path does not contain a trailing slash, as the underlying CreateDirectoryW API will not process it correctly [3][4].

Remove the trailing separator before bun_sys::mkdir. On Windows, SNAPSHOTS_DIR_NAME ends with \. snapshots_dir_z includes that separator, and create_snapshot_file passes the path to bun_sys::mkdir, which uses libuv and CreateDirectoryW. CreateDirectoryW rejects a path that ends with \, so snapshot directory creation can fail on Windows. Build the mkdir path without the final separator, while retaining it in File.path for filename concatenation.

Clear file_buf before you load the new snapshot contents.
write_snapshot_file clears file_buf only when _current_file is Some. Line 333 returns early when _current_file is None, and it leaves file_buf unchanged.
_current_file stays None when parse_file fails at Line 908, or when the read error at Line 898 is returned. On the next call for a different test file, Line 903 appends FILE_HEADER to the leftover bytes of the previous file. A later dirty write then persists the previous file's entries into the new .snap file.
Clear the buffer before you populate it.
🐛 Proposed fix

+ self.file_buf.clear();

🟡 nit (optional): This change removes the only producer of crate::Error::FailedToMakeSnapshotDirectory (mkdir now happens in create_snapshot_file and surfaces as FailedToWriteSnapshotFile), leaving the variant in src/runtime/error.rs and the match arm at src/runtime/test_runner/expect.rs:1182 dead. Fix: delete the FailedToMakeSnapshotDirectory variant and its unreachable match arm in the same PR, per REVIEW.md's "delete dead code in the same PR that makes it dead".
Extended reasoning...
Before this diff, get_or_put mapped err.syscall == Tag::mkdir to Error::FailedToMakeSnapshotDirectory, which expect.rs:1182 turned into the user-facing "Failed to make snapshot directory for test file: ..." throw. The diff collapses that if-chain to a single FailedToOpenSnapshotFile return and moves mkdir into create_snapshot_file, whose errors are wrapped as FailedToWriteSnapshotFile at write_snapshot_file. A repo-wide grep shows no remaining constructor of FailedToMakeSnapshotDirectory; only the enum declaration (error.rs:5-6, error.rs:396) and the consumer arm (expect.rs:1182-1184) remain. No user-visible failure — this is orphaned code the change made dead.
Verification: nit — The diff removes the only producer of crate::Error::FailedToMakeSnapshotDirectory. Base grep shows the sole constructor was at src/runtime/test_runner/snapshot.rs:154 (return Err(if err.syscall == bun_sys::Tag::mkdir { crate::Error::FailedToMakeSnapshotDirectory } ...), which this diff replaces with a single return Err(crate::Error::FailedToOpenSnapshotFile) at snapshot.rs:171-172.…

Problem
CI=trueand no--update-snapshots, atoMatchSnapshot()call with no stored snapshot fails with "Snapshot creation is disabled in CI environments unless --update-snapshots is used". That is correct. But bun still creates__snapshots__/<file>.snapwith only the 55 byte header, and the__snapshots__/directory with it. Seen on 1.4.2 and on canary 1.4.3.Snapshots::get_snapshot_file()(src/runtime/test_runner/snapshot.rs) ranmkdirand opened the.snapfile withO_CREAT | O_RDWRat the first snapshot assertion. That is beforeget_or_put()decides whether the entry may be added.Fix
get_snapshot_file()now only reads the existing.snapfile (O_RDONLY,ENOENTmeans no file). It stores the path on theFilestruct and creates nothing.get_or_put()marks the filedirtywhen it appends an entry.write_snapshot_file()creates__snapshots__/and the.snapfile (O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC) only when the file is dirty. A run that adds nothing leaves the disk as it found it, in CI and outside CI.mkdiroropenis now reported at write time with the path ("Failed to write snapshot file: ..."), instead of a thrown error inside the test. The inline snapshot writer no longer reuses theFilestruct as an fd holder.test/js/bun/test/ci-restrictions.test.ts(two new assertions, stock bun fails one). Alsotest/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/,test/cli/test/rerun-each.test.ts,test/cli/test/test-filter-lifecycle-snapshot.test.ts,test/cli/test/parallel.test.ts -t snapshotwith the debug build. Self-reviewed, see Notes.Background
Snapshots(snapshot.rs) keeps one.snapfile in memory at a time.get_snapshot_file()loads it intofile_bufand parses theexports[...]entries intovalues.get_or_put()looks a snapshot up there and appends a new entry tofile_buf.write_snapshot_file()flushesfile_bufto disk. It runs when the next test file opens its own.snap, at the end of the run, and when a--parallelworker exits.ci_info::is_ci()is true forCI=true,GITHUB_ACTIONS=1and similar. With it set and without--update-snapshots,get_or_put()refuses a new entry.Notes
Repro on stock bun:
Behaviour kept: without
-uan existing.snapis read and rewritten with the new entries appended. With-uthe buffer starts from the header and the file is replaced at write time. Before this change-utruncated the file at open time. #38974 fixes that truncation on its own and also touchesget_snapshot_file(). Whichever lands second needs a small rebase. #39689 reworks the same function for concurrent processes. This PR is the minimal change for the empty file.Windows:
cargo check -p bun_runtime --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvcpasses. Theseek_to(0)after thepreadis gone because the write no longer shares the read fd.Pre-existing, unrelated to this change:
snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts -t "error snapshots"fails on stock bun in this container too (ANSI colours in the expected value). Threeparallel.test.tsworker scheduling tests fail in the container on the number of workers. The snapshot test in that file passes.
