Problem

  • What an unhandledRejection listener queued (a tick, a microtask) never ran when that rejection was the last activity of the event loop. Node runs it.
  • The other --unhandled-rejections modes ran it after each rejection: with two rejections in one turn, before the second listener.
  • captureRejections ignored thenables, emitters whose constructor never ran, and the results of 'error' and error monitor listeners.

Fix

  • handle_rejected_promises is Node's loop: report a batch, run one microtask checkpoint if script ran, repeat. A turn with no rejected promise returns on an inlined check.
  • events.ts: addCatch follows any thenable. The captureRejections setter swaps the prototype emit. emit('error') runs the monitor first and captures listener results.
  • Verified: 10 new cases in event-emitter.test.ts, 4 in process.test.js, each pinned against node 26.

Background

  • JSC reports a promise rejected with no handler to the global, which queues it. handleRejectedPromises reports those still unhandled at the end of a loop turn.
  • Node's processTicksAndRejections runs ticks and microtasks, then the listeners of every pending rejection, until both are empty.
  • Considered a drain after each listener: it runs the first listener's microtasks before the second listener.

Downsides

  • Order change for the modes none, warn, warn-with-error-code, throw: queued work runs after the listeners of the whole turn, as in node 26.
  • A rejection that a listener takes costs 244 instructions more (6,548 to 6,792): the checkpoint.
  • No cost elsewhere: a setImmediate turn is 25 instructions lower than main (3,436 to 3,411), emit is equal (1,651), text is 302 bytes smaller.
Notes

This is the first of two PRs. #42032 is stacked on it. That PR adds the end-of-turn rejection pass to auto_tick_active and to the 'beforeExit' dispatch. Without this PR, that pass lets test/js/node/test/parallel/test-event-capture-rejections.js run past the stage where it stalled and into the events.ts gaps fixed here. The test ran 3 of its 13 stages on bun 1.4.2 and exited 0. It runs all 13 now.

Order of two rejections in one turn, with a listener that logs and queues a tick and a microtask:

node 26, every mode but strict    listener a, listener b, tick a, tick b, micro a, micro b
this branch, the same modes       listener a, listener b, tick a, tick b, micro a, micro b
bun 1.4.2, default mode           listener a, listener b            (the queued work never runs)
bun 1.4.2, none|warn|throw        listener a, tick a, micro a, listener b, tick b, micro b

--unhandled-rejections=strict is unchanged and differs from node for another reason: node ends the process at the first rejection and calls no listener. The fatal path of throw (no listener, no uncaughtException handler) keeps its drain before the error is printed.

unhandled_rejection_owned returns "checkpoint owed" and drains nothing. Its two callers run the checkpoint: handle_rejected_promises after the batch, and unhandled_rejection (hot reload, cron, macros: one rejection reported directly) after that one. Inside bun test nothing changes: the test runner takes the rejection before any listener.

captureRejections cases, all measured on node 26:

  • An emitter constructed before EventEmitter.captureRejections = true keeps not capturing.
  • A replacement of EventEmitter.prototype.emit by the user stays in place when the default changes.
  • A rejecting 'error' listener reaches [Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection')]. Without that handler it is emitted as 'error' once, with capture off.
  • A rejecting error monitor listener reaches the rejection handler with the monitor symbol as the event type.
  • An error monitor listener that removes the last 'error' listener makes emit('error', err) throw err.

Known difference that remains, unchanged by this PR: the constructor gives an emitter with capture on its own emit property, which hides an emit that a subclass defines on its prototype. Node has one emit that reads the flag on each call.

Measurements. Release builds of the merge base (36cd151) and of this branch (b005757) on the same machine. Sections from size. Instructions are user-space instructions of the main thread for one operation, counted exactly by single-stepping with ptrace between two marker system calls, as the difference of a run with 500 and a run with 1,500 operations. BUN_JSC_useJIT=0, one GC marker and no concurrent GC make the count repeatable: the spread between two runs is 5 instructions or less. perf (perf_event_open is not permitted), valgrind, strace and bloaty are not available on the build machine.

operation                               main      this branch
setImmediate turn                       3,436     3,411
setTimeout(0) turn                      5,236     5,204
rejection handled late, one per turn    6,387     6,355
rejection taken by a listener           6,548     6,792
emit with one listener                  1,651     1,651
text section, bytes                     80,661,004  80,660,702

With the JIT on, emit is 290 to 299 instructions on main and 276 to 295 on this branch, which is the noise of that mode. An fs.stat callback turn does not repeat under this method (8,140 or 9,450 on both builds, by the timing of the thread pool).

Closed PRs with the same goal, superseded by this one: #33356, #32814 (the events.ts part).

Walkthrough

EventEmitter rejection capture now checks non-null listener results and updates the static capture default. Unhandled-rejection processing reports whether a listener ran, so the runtime can drain microtasks between rejection batches.

Changes

Rejection handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
EventEmitter rejection capture
src/js/node/events.ts, test/js/node/events/event-emitter.test.ts
Listener results with a callable then are followed, with errors delivered through the error event. Error listeners use the regular listener path when rejection capture is enabled. Tests cover capture defaults, thenables, and error handling.
Unhandled rejection batch processing
src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.h, src/jsc/bindings/bindings.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/headers.h, src/jsc/virtual_machine_exports.rs, src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs
Rejection handling returns whether a listener ran or a microtask checkpoint is owed. The runtime propagates that result through its bindings and rejection-processing loop.
Rejection scheduling tests
src/jsc/JSGlobalObject.rs, test/js/node/process/process.test.js
The runtime checks for pending rejected promises, repeats handling when required, and drains microtasks between batches. Subprocess tests check queued tick, microtask, timer, and exit ordering.

Status: ready for review. #42032 is stacked on this branch.

Reproduced on bun 1.4.2 and on main at 36cd151 (Linux x64), compared with node 26.3.0:

process.on("unhandledRejection", () => {
  console.log("listener");
  process.nextTick(() => console.log("tick"));
  queueMicrotask(() => console.log("micro"));
});
Promise.reject(new Error("R"));
// bun 1.4.2 and main: "listener". node 26 and this branch: "listener", "tick", "micro".

bun test/js/node/test/parallel/test-event-capture-rejections.js exits 0 on bun 1.4.2 after 3 of its 13 stages. A console.log at the top of each stage function shows it. This branch runs all 13, as node 26 does.

CI (build 120961, head b005757): the tests that this diff touches pass on every lane. Two test files are red for causes outside the diff, and both are reported:

  • test/js/bun/s3/s3.test.ts cannot pull the minio image (401 from the registry). Main is red on it too (build 120898).
  • test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts fails on debian 13 x64-asan only.

One behaviour from #33356 that this PR does not carry. With several unhandled rejections in the same batch, Node runs every unhandledRejection listener first and then one ticks-and-microtasks checkpoint (processTicksAndRejections). The drain here runs inside unhandled_rejection(), after each listener, so work the first listener queued runs before the second listener is called.

process.on("unhandledRejection", reason => {
  if (reason === "a") Promise.resolve().then(() => setTimeout(() => console.log("then"), 1));
  if (reason === "b") queueMicrotask(() => setTimeout(() => console.log("queueMicrotask"), 1));
  if (reason === "c") process.nextTick(() => setTimeout(() => console.log("nextTick"), 1));
});
Promise.reject("a");
Promise.reject("b");
Promise.reject("c");
node 26:      nextTick, then, queueMicrotask
this branch:  then, queueMicrotask, nextTick
1.4.3:        (nothing)

#33356 drained once per handleRejectedPromises() batch (EventLoop::drain_rejected_promises, repeated while the drain left new rejections) and pinned this with "keeps the process alive for work the handler schedules after a microtask hop" in process-on.test.ts. If that ordering is wanted, the drain would move from the Mode::Bun arm to after the batch. The other --unhandled-rejections modes already drain per rejection, so this PR is consistent with them as it stands.

Everything else #33356 covered passes here or on #42032: I ran its 8 new tests against #42032's branch (which includes this one) and 7 pass; this one fails on order only, the scheduled work itself runs. #33356 is closed in favor of this PR and #42032.

The per-promise drain raised last round is now once per batch in JSGlobalObject::handle_rejected_promises, after every listener of the batch has run. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the other unhandled_rejection callers that discard the new bool (hot-reload entry rejection, cron, macros, test runner): none drained a listener's ticks before this PR either, so that gap is pre-existing rather than introduced here.

Extended reasoning...

The PR changes captureRejections in src/js/node/events.ts (thenables, constructor-less emitters, 'error' listener results) and threads a "listener ran" bool from VirtualMachine::unhandled_rejection_owned through Bun__handleRejectedPromise and GlobalObject::handleRejectedPromises so the Rust caller drains microtasks between batches; no security-sensitive surface is touched. The latest commit moved the drain from per-promise to per-batch, addressing the earlier interleaving concern. A pre-existing errorMonitor capture gap is posted inline and one further verified finding was withheld, so this is not an approve; the remaining discarded-bool call sites were checked and only preserve prior behavior.

The latest push brings back an issue flagged in an earlier review; replied in that comment's thread.

Still open from earlier reviews (1):

I reviewed the latest push (6a3ba2e, bf4f65d) and found no bugs; the per-batch checkpoint and the captured 'error'/errorMonitor listener results address what I raised earlier. Because this changes end-of-turn rejection processing across every --unhandled-rejections mode and the C++/Rust boundary, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • emitWithRejectionCapture's 'error' path against Node's emit (monitor first via the same captured emit, events.error re-checked after the monitor, throw otherwise) and addCatch/emitUnhandledRejectionOrErr against Node's addCatch — control flow matches; reading .then on non-nullish primitives is safe.
  • The bool return threaded through handleRejectedPromises -> Bun__handleRejectedPromise -> unhandled_rejection_owned: every C++/Rust declaration updated, all callers consume the #[must_use] value, and the modes that previously drained unconditionally now return true so JSGlobalObject::handle_rejected_promises drains once per batch and re-enters until the list is empty; the batch's remaining promises are fully iterated before the early return true.
  • The non-owned unhandled_rejection wrapper (cron, test runner, macros, hot reload) keeps its prior drain-after-report behavior; the only new drain is Bun mode after a listener claimed the rejection, which is the intended fix.
Extended reasoning...

The diff touches src/js/node/events.ts (captureRejections: thenables, constructor-less emitters, 'error' and errorMonitor listener results, kCapture restore), and the unhandled-rejection reporting path across ZigGlobalObject.cpp/.h, bindings.cpp, headers.h, virtual_machine_exports.rs, VirtualMachine.rs and JSGlobalObject.rs, changing when microtasks and ticks queued by an 'unhandledRejection' listener run. It touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface. It does not qualify for approval because it alters event-loop ordering for every --unhandled-rejections mode and an FFI signature, the tests could not be run here (no build), and two unresolved third-party bot threads on events.ts:298/300 and VirtualMachine.rs:4399 predate the last commit without independent resolution. The bug hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings, and the latest commits plausibly address my earlier inline findings, so a short defer acknowledging that is the useful signal.

…rs; run what an unhandledRejection listener queues

node's test-event-capture-rejections.js only passed vacuously: its stages
are chained with process.nextTick from inside 'unhandledRejection' and
'error' listeners, and a nextTick queued by an 'unhandledRejection'
listener never ran when that rejection was the loop's last activity, so
the test stopped after 3 of 13 stages and exited 0. Running it through
surfaces three gaps in node:events' captureRejections:

- An emitter whose constructor never ran (util.inherits without the
  super call) emits through the prototype, which never captured; it now
  follows EventEmitter.captureRejections like node's per-call
  this[kCapture] check.
- Only real Promises were followed ($isPromise); node follows any
  thenable, reads `then` once (Promises/A+), and emits a throwing `then`
  getter as 'error'.
- emitUnhandledRejectionOrErr restores the previous kCapture instead of
  forcing it to true.

And in the VM: after an 'unhandledRejection' listener handles a
rejection, drain the microtask/nextTick queue as the other
--unhandled-rejections modes already do (node's processTicksAndRejections
loops ticks and rejections until both are empty), so what the listener
queued runs even on the loop's last turn.
…e 'error' listener results

Review follow-up.

The drain added after an 'unhandledRejection' listener ran once per
rejection, so with two rejections in one turn the ticks and microtasks
of the first listener ran before the second listener. Node's
processTicksAndRejections runs the listeners of the whole batch first.
A microtask of the first listener that handles the second promise then
comes after that promise was reported, and gets 'rejectionHandled'.

handle_rejected_promises is now that loop: C++ reports a batch and says
whether a process listener ran, Rust runs the microtask checkpoint and
asks again. unhandled_rejection_owned returns "checkpoint owed" instead
of draining in the default mode. The other --unhandled-rejections modes
keep their per-rejection drain.

node:events: with captureRejections, the results of 'error' listeners
go through the capture too, as in Node, so a rejecting async 'error'
listener reaches the emitter's Symbol.for('nodejs.rejection') handler
(or is emitted as 'error' once, with capture off) instead of becoming
an unhandled rejection.

Tests: the batch order, the late handler and the nested rejection, all
pinned against node 26. The captureRejections default test now uses an
emitter constructed before the default was turned on.
…e; error monitor listeners

Review follow-up.

unhandled_rejection_owned no longer drains microtasks after a listener
in any mode. It answers whether script ran, and the two callers run the
checkpoint once: handle_rejected_promises after the batch, and
unhandled_rejection (one rejection reported directly) after that one.
With two rejections in one turn, --unhandled-rejections=none, warn,
warn-with-error-code and throw now print the same order as node 26.
The fatal path of throw keeps its drain.

node:events with captureRejections: emit('error') runs the error
monitor first, through the capturing emit, and then decides between
the 'error' listeners and the throw, as node does. A monitor listener
that removes the last 'error' listener makes the error unhandled. A
rejecting monitor listener reaches the rejection handler.
handle_rejected_promises runs at the end of every event loop turn. It
now asks an inlined predicate (one load and a compare) whether a promise
was rejected, and only then enters the reporter, which is cold and out
of line.

I reviewed the latest push and didn't find any bugs; the per-promise drain and the errorMonitor gaps raised earlier are addressed by the batch-level checkpoint and the inline 'error' handling. Because this changes the event loop's rejection-reporting loop across the C++/Rust boundary and the EventEmitter.prototype.emit hot path, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • events.ts addCatch / emitUnhandledRejectionOrErr / emit('error') control flow diffed against Node's lib/events.js: then read once, throwing getter emitted as 'error', kCapture restored to its prior value, monitor-then-throw ordering match.
  • handleRejectedPromises -> report_rejected_promises loop: one checkpoint per batch and re-check matches Node's processTicksAndRejections; the termination path still returns with the exception pending so call_check_slow surfaces it.
  • Every --unhandled-rejections arm of unhandled_rejection_owned returns the checkpoint flag; the direct unhandled_rejection callers (hot reload, cron, macros) now drain in default mode when a listener ran, as the other modes already did.
  • Could not execute the new tests locally (no branch build available); relying on CI for those.
Extended reasoning...

The diff touches the node:events builtin emit path (src/js/node/events.ts) and the native unhandled-rejection reporting loop spanning ZigGlobalObject.cpp, bindings.cpp, JSGlobalObject.rs, VirtualMachine.rs and virtual_machine_exports.rs, plus new tests in event-emitter.test.ts and process.test.js. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. The latest commits address the two findings from prior runs (drain per promise inside a batch; errorMonitor listeners bypassing capture), and the control flow now matches Node's lib/events.js and processTicksAndRejections. Deferring rather than approving because the change alters core event-loop semantics across an FFI boundary and a hot path, several third-party bot threads on the native files have no independent resolution recorded, and the new tests could not be run here.

…pe emit, not by a test per emit

The default emit is the hot path of node:events and is again the same
function as on main. The setter of EventEmitter.captureRejections swaps
EventEmitter.prototype.emit between the two variants, so an emitter
whose constructor never ran follows the default. A user's replacement
of the prototype emit stays in place.
