console.assert prints Assertion failed prefix with messages 🤖🤖🤖

[jabrailkhalil]

What does this PR do?

console.assert(false, "message") currently prints only the message; Node.js prints Assertion failed: message. This PR adds the Assertion failed: prefix for the message case:

• the no-message case (console.assert(false)) already prints Assertion failed and is unchanged
• when one or more arguments are present, the formatted output is prefixed with Assertion failed: on stderr, matching Node.js

How should this be tested?

bun run test/js/web/console/console-assert.test.ts

A regression test covers console.assert(false), console.assert(false, "message"), console.assert(false, "with args", 1, true) and a passing assertion (no output).

Verification (build: red)

• Full Bun build requires the Zig toolchain, unavailable in this environment, so the change itself is not locally compiled/run.
• cargo fmt -p bun_jsc -- --check passes (the crate parses and is format-clean).
• The new test requires a built bun binary and needs to run on CI.

Checklist

• There is a clear description as to what this PR does
• The test suite (bun test) is passing on CI (requires the build, red locally)

Fixes #19953

Walkthrough

console.assert now prefixes failed assertions with message arguments using Assertion failed: . A subprocess test verifies output for bare assertions, messages, extra arguments, and passing assertions.

Changes

console.assert output

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Prefix failed assertion messages src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs	Failed assertions with arguments now write Assertion failed: before formatted output.
Validate assertion output test/js/web/console/console-assert.fixture.js, test/js/web/console/console-assert.test.ts	The fixture covers failed and passing assertions. The subprocess test verifies stderr contents, empty stdout, and the absence of output for passing assertions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 47df2

This change updates failed console.assert messages to use the Node.js-style prefix. The implementation is narrowly scoped, but the new regression test does not fully enforce the ordered stderr contract and can hide output details on a failing fixture, leaving low merge-readiness risk.

Assert output before proc.exitCode.

If the fixture exits with a nonzero code, this assertion stops the test before it checks stdout and stderr. Move the exit-code assertion after all output assertions.

Based on learnings: Bun subprocess tests must assert stdout and stderr before checking the subprocess exit code, with the exit-code assertion last.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the complete stderr contract.

toContain allows extra lines, duplicate prefixes, and incorrect ordering. Compare the normalized stderr with the complete expected value.

Based on the stated console.assert output contract, this test should reject any additional or reordered output.

Proposed fix

-  expect(stderr).toContain("Assertion failed\n");
-  expect(stderr).toContain("Assertion failed: message\n");
-  expect(stderr).toContain("Assertion failed: with args 1 true\n");
-  expect(stderr).not.toContain("should not print");
+  expect(stderr).toBe(
+    "Assertion failed\n" +
+      "Assertion failed: message\n" +
+      "Assertion failed: with args 1 true\n",
+  );

Thanks for the PR. The same change is already open in #31716. That PR adds the Assertion failed marker on both the global console.assert path and the node:console Console class. It also follows Node's rule for a non-string first argument: console.assert(false, 42) prints Assertion failed 42, with no colon. #37128 covers the global path too, as part of a larger console rework. Closing this one as a duplicate. #19953 stays open until one of those lands.
