Problem

  • ::view-transition-group-children() (css-view-transitions-2) is not a known pseudo-element. bun build warns Invalid selector. Unsupported pseudo-class or pseudo-element 'view-transition-group-children' on valid CSS.
  • The selector falls through to PseudoElement::CustomFunction in parse_functional_pseudo_element (src/css/selectors/parser.rs:1216). That arm keeps the raw tokens. In a CSS module the argument misses the module hash, so ::view-transition-group-children(hero) can never match view-transition-name: hero_<hash>. A class used only in that selector is missing from the exports object.

Fix

  • Add the PseudoElement::ViewTransitionGroupChildren { part_name } variant. The parser arm parses the argument with ViewTransitionPartName::parse, the same function the four existing view transition pseudo-elements use. That function hashes the name and the class in a CSS module and records the class export.
  • Add the printer arm in src/css/selectors/selector.rs, the Display arm, and the is_view_transition arm. The last one lets :only-child follow the pseudo-element, as in Chromium.
  • Verified: test/bundler/css/css-modules.test.ts (css-module/ViewTransitionGroupChildrenScoped) and test/bundler/css/view-transition-23600.test.ts (the new #42777 test). Both fail on the released bun and pass with this change. All of test/bundler/css/ passes (180 tests).

Background

Notes

Repro from the issue with this change:

$ bun build entry.js --outdir out
::view-transition-group-children(hero_cV5XJw) { overflow: clip; }
::view-transition-group-children(.big_cV5XJw) { overflow: clip; }
var styles_module_default = { card: "card_cV5XJw", big: "big_cV5XJw" };

No warning. The plain CSS test uses Bun.build and checks result.logs, because a warning from a CSS entry point is printed without a source location and itBundled drops warnings that have no location.

The warning-only cases in the issue (:active-view-transition-type() and @view-transition) produce correct output and are not part of this change.

root cause · written by the author bot

The CSS selector parser's parse_functional_pseudo_element recognized only four named view transition pseudo-elements, so ::view-transition-group-children() fell through to PseudoElement::CustomFunction, which emitted an "unsupported pseudo-element" warning and preserved the raw argument tokens; in a CSS module that meant the name or class argument never received the module hash, leaving the rule unable to match the hashed view-transition-name and omitting the class from the exports object. The fix adds a ViewTransitionGroupChildren variant that parses its argument through the shar…

…eudo-element

Add the PseudoElement::ViewTransitionGroupChildren variant from
css-view-transitions-2. The argument uses ViewTransitionPartName::parse,
like the other four view transition pseudo-elements. In a CSS module the
name and the class get the module hash, and the class is exported.
:only-child is accepted after it.

Walkthrough

The CSS selector parser now supports ::view-transition-group-children(). The new pseudo-element variant is classified and serialized correctly. CSS bundler tests cover CSS Modules hashing, exports, warnings, pseudo-classes, and minified output.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Selector parsing and serialization
src/css/selectors/parser.rs, src/css/selectors/selector.rs
The parser recognizes the functional pseudo-element and stores its ViewTransitionPartName. The new variant is classified, formatted, and serialized.
Bundler regression coverage
test/bundler/css/css-modules.test.ts, test/bundler/css/view-transition-23600.test.ts
Tests validate CSS Modules hashing, exports, wildcard selectors, warning-free builds, pseudo-class handling, and minified output.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba63d

CSS Modules can emit ::view-transition-group-children(.class) selectors that browsers ignore, so the newly supported class-based transition styling will not work until the parser is restricted.

The review asked to restrict ::view-transition-group-children() to * or a <custom-ident>. I left the class support in place. css-view-transitions-2 defines group-children() as a named view transition pseudo-element, and view-transition-class applies to all of them. Chromium parses the argument of all five pseudo-elements with the same code and accepts .class. Details are in the resolved thread.

LGTM — mechanical addition of a fifth view-transition pseudo-element variant, following the existing four exactly.

What was reviewed:

  • Audited every match/matches! on PseudoElement for missed arms — the new variant is wired into the parser length-gate, serializer, Display, and is_view_transition(); remaining sites use _ => catch-alls or derive-generated eql/hash/clone.
  • Verified the 30-byte length gate matches "view-transition-group-children" and the PERF comment count is consistent.
  • Tests cover name/class/wildcard arguments, :only-child suffix, CSS-module hashing + exports, and the no-warning contract; they use tempDir/itBundled per harness conventions and the changed paths have no CODEOWNER.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR adds ::view-transition-group-children() (CSS View Transitions Level 2) as a recognized functional pseudo-element in Bun's CSS parser. It introduces one new PseudoElement enum variant carrying a ViewTransitionPartName, and threads it through the four sites that already enumerate the sibling ViewTransitionGroup/ImagePair/Old/New variants: the length-gated functional-pseudo-element parser (src/css/selectors/parser.rs), the is_view_transition() predicate, the fmt::Display impl, and the serializer arm in src/css/selectors/selector.rs. Two tests are added — one itBundled CSS-modules case and one Bun.build round-trip case.

Security risks

None. This is a CSS selector recognizer that reuses the existing ViewTransitionPartName::parse argument parser verbatim; no new untrusted-input arithmetic, allocation sizing, or FFI surface is introduced. The serializer writes a fixed literal plus the already-escaped part-name via the shared to_css path.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The change is small, self-contained, and purely additive: a fifth entry in a set of parallel switch arms that already handle four structurally identical siblings. Per REVIEW.md's "one source of truth" rule I grepped for every match on PseudoElement and every reference to the sibling ViewTransition* variants across src/ — all enumerating sites are updated, and the remaining match sites (get_prefix, get_necessary_prefixes, valid_after_slotted, is_unknown, is_webkit_scrollbar) correctly fall through _ for this variant. CssEql/CssHash are derived and deep_clone delegates to Clone, so no manual eql/hash/clone arm is needed; ViewTransitionPartName is already bridged in generics.rs.

Other factors

The 30-byte length gate is correct for the literal, and the PERF comment's entry list was updated in step. Tests follow repo conventions (tempDir from harness, itBundled, no network, no sleeps) and cover the full argument variant matrix (custom-ident, .class, *) plus the :only-child suffix that is_view_transition() enables, along with the CSS-module hashing/export behavior that motivated the fix. CODEOWNERS covers only *.d.ts, so none of the changed files require owner sign-off. Bug-hunt exit reason was dry_streak with no findings and no ruled-out candidates.

Since #42779, `::view-transition-group-children(hero.big)` stops the build
with `error: Unexpected token: .`. The pseudo-element now takes the same
`ViewTransitionPartSelector` as the other four view transition
pseudo-elements: a name or `*` followed by classes, or classes alone.
