Closes #34663: #40028 fixed its script, this fixes the same crash under bun test. Replaces #34664 (see Notes).

Problem

  • bun test with node-sqlite3 crashes after the tests pass: panic: NAPI FATAL ERROR: Error::ThrowAsJavaScriptException napi_throw, from TestCommand::exec <- VirtualMachine::on_exit <- NapiEnv::cleanup <- a wrap finalizer. Sentry: BUN-4P12, BUN-4NZY (1.4.1, 1.4.2).
  • bun test exits when the last test settles, with addon work still in flight. on_exit() still runs NapiEnv::cleanup there (test_command.rs:2687, parallel/runner.rs:684). napi: do not tear down the envs on process.exit() or a fatal error on the main thread #40028 stopped that only for process.exit() and fatal errors.

Fix

  • The end of a run sets ExitHandler::requested, in the serial runner and in each --parallel worker. on_exit() then skips NapiEnv::cleanup on the main thread, as for process.exit().
  • A run under BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1 drains the loop first, so it still tears the envs down.
  • Correct: Node frees the main thread's environment only after the loop runs dry, and addon finalizers rely on that.
  • Verified: test/napi/napi.test.ts "env teardown on the main thread" (3 new cases, 2 fail without the fix). Also all of napi.test.ts, and test/cli/test/{bun-test,parallel,isolation}.test.ts.

Background

  • A NapiEnv is Bun's state for one loaded addon. NapiEnv::cleanup runs its cleanup hooks, then the finalizer of each object it still holds.
  • ExitHandler::requested marks an exit that is not a drained event loop. Workers and BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT always tear down.
  • node-sqlite3 queues calls on a Statement while one runs. Its finalizer emits 'error' for each queued call. Nothing listens, so the emit throws, and node-addon-api turns a failed call in a finalizer into napi_fatal_error.
Notes

Repro (sqlite3 5.1.7, prebuilt binary). The test passes, then the process aborts with exit code 134. With this change it exits 0.

import { test } from "bun:test";
const sqlite3 = require("sqlite3");
test("statement has queued calls when the run ends", async () => {
  const { promise, resolve } = Promise.withResolvers();
  const db = new sqlite3.Database(":memory:", () => {
    const stmt = db.prepare("SELECT 1", () => {
      stmt.run();
      stmt.run();
      stmt.run();
      resolve();
    });
  });
  await promise;
});

Why this does not port #34664. That PR made an exception thrown by JS that a finalizer ran during env cleanup visible to the addon, and let the addon rethrow it. I did not redo it, for two reasons.

One difference from Node is left. With NAPI_VERSION=10 and NODE_API_SWALLOW_UNTHROWABLE_EXCEPTIONS, that ObjectWrap case survives in Node and aborts in Bun. Bun runs the JS, the exception stays on the VM, and napi_throw returns napi_pending_exception where node-addon-api expects napi_cannot_run_js. It is not a bun test problem and it is not changed here.

--parallel workers. Before this change, a worker that loaded the two test addons in two files (two envs, the addon's statics are shared) tore both envs down at exit. The addon called abort(), the worker printed panic(main thread): abort() called, and the coordinator still reported 2 pass with exit code 0, because the worker had no file in flight. The new --parallel test sees none of that output now.

#39010 (open) sends --bail through on_exit(). If it lands, its bail_out needs the same requested assignment.

Other suites. parallel.test.ts "each worker has a unique JEST_WORKER_ID" is timing dependent in this ASAN debug build. It failed 2 of 3 runs both with and without the change.


no test proof · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/napi/napi.test.ts

`bun test` ends the process when the last test settles. It does not wait
for the event loop to run dry, so an addon's work can still be in flight.
That is process.exit(), which skips NapiEnv::cleanup on the main thread
since #40028, and not the natural exit that Node frees an environment on.

Mark the end of a run (the serial runner and each --parallel worker) as a
requested exit. A run under BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP drains the loop
first and still tears the envs down.

Reproduced on a release build of 09bb546 and on an ASAN debug build of main: bun test on a file that uses sqlite3 5.1.7 and ends while a Statement still has queued calls (script in the PR Notes). All tests pass, then the process aborts with panic: NAPI FATAL ERROR: Error::ThrowAsJavaScriptException napi_throw and exit code 134. With this branch the same run exits 0.

The new cases in test/napi/napi.test.ts show the same thing without sqlite3: before the change, the test addons print their cleanup hook and finalizer lines at the end of a bun test run. After it, they do not.

I reviewed this and didn't find any bugs. The change is small and mirrors the adjacent skip_exit_listeners pattern, but since it alters N-API env teardown semantics on the bun test exit path and the PR itself flags a pending interaction with #39010's --bail path, a maintainer sign-off is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • exit_is_requested() gates on !should_drain_event_loop(), so BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1 still tears the envs down; confirmed exit_tears_down_napi_envs() reads only requested for this decision and BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT still overrides.
  • Both sibling exit sites are covered (serial TestCommand::exec and run_as_worker); each --parallel worker is its own process, so is_main_thread() is true there and the flag takes effect.
  • New tests sit in the existing describe.concurrent("env teardown on the main thread"), reuse its setup/setupLines/teardownLines/noDestruct fixtures, drain pipes concurrently, split on /\r?\n/, and assert output before exit code; the third case is the negative control that keeps teardown observable.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR adds a two-line helper test_command::exit_is_requested() (!should_drain_event_loop()) and calls it at the two bun test exit sites — TestCommand::exec (src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs) and run_as_worker (src/runtime/cli/test/parallel/runner.rs) — to set vm.exit_handler.requested = true. That flag is consumed by VirtualMachine::exit_tears_down_napi_envs() in src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, so the main-thread N-API env cleanup is skipped at end-of-run just as it already is for process.exit() and fatal errors (from #40028). Doc comments on ExitHandler::requested and exit_tears_down_napi_envs are updated. Three tests are added to the existing "env teardown on the main thread" block in test/napi/napi.test.ts.

Security risks

None. This is a runtime lifecycle/teardown change with no bearing on auth, crypto, permissions, or untrusted input parsing. The only behavioral effect is that addon finalizers/cleanup hooks stop running on a bun test exit that did not drain the loop — strictly less code executes than before.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. The Rust delta is mechanically trivial and sits directly alongside the identically-shaped skip_exit_listeners assignment, so the pattern is established and the bug-class-scope rule (both serial and --parallel worker paths) is satisfied. However, it changes N-API teardown semantics on a VM exit path — an area where getting lifecycle order wrong causes UAF or resource leaks — and the author explicitly flags that #39010's pending bail_out path will need the same treatment, plus one remaining Node divergence (NODE_API_SWALLOW_UNTHROWABLE_EXCEPTIONS) left out of scope. A maintainer who owns the N-API lifecycle should confirm those scoping decisions.

Other factors

Test coverage is solid: the new cases reuse the surrounding describe's fixtures (setup, setupLines, teardownLines, noDestruct), follow harness conventions (tempDir, bunExe, bunEnv spread, concurrent pipe drain, output-before-exit-code, CRLF-safe splitting, sorted line sets for Windows CRT buffering), and include a negative control (BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1 still produces teardownLines) so a future regression that unconditionally skips teardown would be caught. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files. The bug hunt exited on dry_streak with no findings and no ruled-out candidates.

@coderabbitai On the --parallel plus BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1 case: I am not adding it.

  • BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP is an internal opt-in for the vendored Node tests, which run one file per process (test_command.rs, next to the on_before_exit() call). Nothing combines it with --parallel.
  • Both exit sites call the same exit_is_requested(). The serial drain case already covers its !should_drain_event_loop() branch, and the --parallel case covers the worker call site.
  • The case is not deterministic with these fixtures. I ran it: one worker takes both files, so it holds two envs of the same addon, and the addon's statics are shared between them. At teardown the wrap addon prints FAIL: child 1 finalizer ran after parent was destroyed and calls abort(). With two workers it does not. Which one happens depends on scheduling.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@robobun Thanks for the detailed explanation. I agree that the combined --parallel and BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1 case is not needed.

The serial drain test covers the !should_drain_event_loop() path in exit_is_requested(). The parallel test covers the worker exit site. The combined case is outside the internal one-file-per-process use case and is nondeterministic with the current addon fixtures.

Learning: In Bun's test runner, `BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1` is an internal opt-in for vendored Node tests that run one test file per process. Do not require combined `--parallel` coverage for this mode when the serial test covers the `exit_is_requested()` drain branch and the parallel test covers the worker exit site. The current N-API addon fixtures also share statics across environments, so a combined parallel drain test is nondeterministic when one worker runs multiple files.

…#42746)

Closes oven-sh#34663: oven-sh#40028 fixed its script, this fixes the same crash under
`bun test`. Replaces oven-sh#34664 (see Notes).

### Problem
- `bun test` with node-sqlite3 crashes after the tests pass: `panic:
NAPI FATAL ERROR: Error::ThrowAsJavaScriptException napi_throw`, from
`TestCommand::exec` <- `VirtualMachine::on_exit` <- `NapiEnv::cleanup`
<- a wrap finalizer. Sentry: BUN-4P12, BUN-4NZY (1.4.1, 1.4.2).
- `bun test` exits when the last test settles, with addon work still in
flight. `on_exit()` still runs `NapiEnv::cleanup` there
(`test_command.rs:2687`, `parallel/runner.rs:684`). oven-sh#40028 stopped that
only for `process.exit()` and fatal errors.

### Fix
- The end of a run sets `ExitHandler::requested`, in the serial runner
and in each `--parallel` worker. `on_exit()` then skips
`NapiEnv::cleanup` on the main thread, as for `process.exit()`.
- A run under `BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1` drains the loop first, so it
still tears the envs down.
- Correct: Node frees the main thread's environment only after the loop
runs dry, and addon finalizers rely on that.
- Verified: `test/napi/napi.test.ts` "env teardown on the main thread"
(3 new cases, 2 fail without the fix). Also all of `napi.test.ts`, and
`test/cli/test/{bun-test,parallel,isolation}.test.ts`.

### Background
- A `NapiEnv` is Bun's state for one loaded addon. `NapiEnv::cleanup`
runs its cleanup hooks, then the finalizer of each object it still
holds.
- `ExitHandler::requested` marks an exit that is not a drained event
loop. Workers and `BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT` always tear down.
- node-sqlite3 queues calls on a `Statement` while one runs. Its
finalizer emits `'error'` for each queued call. Nothing listens, so the
emit throws, and node-addon-api turns a failed call in a finalizer into
`napi_fatal_error`.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

**Repro** (sqlite3 5.1.7, prebuilt binary). The test passes, then the
process aborts with exit code 134. With this change it exits 0.

```js
import { test } from "bun:test";
const sqlite3 = require("sqlite3");
test("statement has queued calls when the run ends", async () => {
  const { promise, resolve } = Promise.withResolvers();
  const db = new sqlite3.Database(":memory:", () => {
    const stmt = db.prepare("SELECT 1", () => {
      stmt.run();
      stmt.run();
      stmt.run();
      resolve();
    });
  });
  await promise;
});
```

**Why this does not port oven-sh#34664.** That PR made an exception thrown by
JS that a finalizer ran during env cleanup visible to the addon, and let
the addon rethrow it. I did not redo it, for two reasons.

- The script in oven-sh#34663 (an unhandled rejection while a `Statement` has
queued calls) no longer reaches `NapiEnv::cleanup` since oven-sh#40028. 1.3.14
panics with `Error::New napi_create_error`. A build of main exits 1 and
prints only the user's error, as Node does.
- On the paths that still tear an env down, Node v26.3.0 aborts with the
same message as Bun. The same sqlite3 script in a Worker that calls
`process.exit()`, throws, or is terminated by its parent gives `FATAL
ERROR: Error::Error napi_define_properties`,
`Error::ThrowAsJavaScriptException napi_throw` and `Error::Error
napi_define_properties` in both. A node-addon-api `ObjectWrap` whose
destructor calls a throwing JS function at a natural exit aborts in both
with `Error::ThrowAsJavaScriptException napi_throw`. The oven-sh#34664 change
would only make Bun more lenient than Node there.

**One difference from Node is left.** With `NAPI_VERSION=10` and
`NODE_API_SWALLOW_UNTHROWABLE_EXCEPTIONS`, that `ObjectWrap` case
survives in Node and aborts in Bun. Bun runs the JS, the exception stays
on the VM, and `napi_throw` returns `napi_pending_exception` where
node-addon-api expects `napi_cannot_run_js`. It is not a `bun test`
problem and it is not changed here.

**`--parallel` workers.** Before this change, a worker that loaded the
two test addons in two files (two envs, the addon's statics are shared)
tore both envs down at exit. The addon called `abort()`, the worker
printed `panic(main thread): abort() called`, and the coordinator still
reported `2 pass` with exit code 0, because the worker had no file in
flight. The new `--parallel` test sees none of that output now.

**oven-sh#39010** (open) sends `--bail` through `on_exit()`. If it lands, its
`bail_out` needs the same `requested` assignment.

**Other suites.** `parallel.test.ts` "each worker has a unique
JEST_WORKER_ID" is timing dependent in this ASAN debug build. It failed
2 of 3 runs both with and without the change.
