Problem

  • new Worker(url, { type: "zzz" }) and new Worker(url, { credentials: "zzz" }) are accepted and the worker runs. In the HTML spec both WorkerOptions members are WebIDL enumerations (WorkerType: "classic" | "module", RequestCredentials: "omit" | "same-origin" | "include"), so browsers and Deno throw a TypeError for any other value.
  • JSWorkerDOMConstructor::construct (src/jsc/bindings/webcore/JSWorker.cpp) never read either option.

Fix

  • For WorkerOptions::Kind::Web only, read type and credentials. A present, non-undefined value is converted with ToString (WebIDL enum conversion) and must be one of the enumeration's strings, else the constructor throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE (a TypeError whose message starts with The property 'options.type' must be one of:). This constructor already reports a bad options.env through the sibling ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE.
  • node:worker_threads calls the same native constructor with a third argument (Kind::Node). Node has neither option and ignores unknown keys, so that path is untouched.
  • Valid values still change nothing: every Bun worker is an ES module and no worker script is fetched with credentials. The bun-types JSDoc for both options said "In Bun, this does nothing" and now states the accepted values and that they are otherwise ignored.
  • Verified: test/js/web/workers/worker.test.ts ("type and credentials options": four invalid values fail on 1.4.3, valid and undefined values construct, worker_threads.Worker ignores both). Also ran the env/argv/preload tests in that file and bun test test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts.

Background

  • The global Worker constructor is hand-written C++ rather than generated from IDL, so dictionary members get no automatic WebIDL conversion; each option is read with getIfPropertyExists and validated by hand.
  • WorkerOptions::Kind is how the native side tells new Worker() (Web) from node:worker_threads (Node).
Notes

WorkerOptions.type is a WorkerType ("classic" | "module") and
WorkerOptions.credentials a RequestCredentials ("omit" | "same-origin" |
"include"). Browsers and Deno throw a TypeError for any other value. The
constructor never read either option, so new Worker(url, { type: "zzz" })
was accepted.

The check applies to the Web Worker constructor only. node:worker_threads
calls the same native constructor with Kind::Node and has neither option,
so it keeps ignoring them as Node does. Valid values still have no further
effect; the bun-types JSDoc now says so instead of "does nothing".

Status: ready for review.

Reproduced and verified with bun bd test test/js/web/workers/worker.test.ts -t "type and credentials". On 1.4.3 the four invalid values construct a worker instead of throwing.

Documents accepted type and credentials values and their runtime effects.
Runtime validation and coverage
src/jsc/bindings/webcore/JSWorker.cpp, test/js/web/workers/worker.test.ts
Validates Web Worker option values, throws TypeError for invalid values, accepts valid values, preserves Node worker behavior, and reduces debug test rounds.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner, dylan-conway

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this narrow Web Worker options validation because valid values keep the existing behavior and the change only adds standards-aligned input checks.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a9d0a

Invalid Web Worker options can still be accepted when callers provide a third constructor argument, leaving the documented validation contract incomplete. This should be fixed and covered before merge.

…its neighbour has

It boots 48 workers in a child process. A debug+ASAN build on a loaded
machine takes about 7s for that, past the 5s default, which fails the whole
file for unrelated changes. Same isDebug ? 30_000 : 5_000 ceiling as the
preload test above it.

…of raising its timeout

REVIEW.md: shrink the workload rather than raise a per-test timeout. Four
rounds of four workers still put terminate() against in-flight readFile
completions at delays 0-6ms; a debug build gets through them in ~2.5s.

In `@src/jsc/bindings/webcore/JSWorker.cpp`:
- Line 209: Update the Worker constructor logic around validateEnumerationOption
so arbitrary third arguments cannot set options.kind to Node or bypass Web
Worker option validation; only the recognized internal node:worker_threads call
may use that path. Ensure invalid type and credentials still throw when a public
constructor receives a third argument, and add a regression test covering this
invocation.
