Conversation
detach_module_folder_from_shared_store walked up from the package folder and replaced the first symlink it found with a real directory. That symlink could be a workspace link (node_modules/<workspace>), the link of another dependency, a symlinked node_modules, or a dependency link inside a shared global store entry. The function now replaces the node_modules/.bun/<storepath> link when the path has one, and otherwise only the package folder itself when that is a link.
A dependency link of the isolated linker leads into the shared entry without node_modules/.bun/<storepath> in the path, so there is no link that bun patch can replace. The copy would land in the shared entry. bun patch now stops with an error before it deletes or writes anything there. Tests: one registry and one set of helpers for the file, the global store case of the nested dependency asserts the refusal and the state of the shared entry, and the symlinked node_modules test proves that the copy went through the link.

One more symptom of the same walk, which this PR also fixes. The tests do not cover it yet. With an absolute path argument, the old walk goes through every component of the path, not only the ones below the project. It removes the first symlink above the project. On 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9, A test for it is in 68c89eb (branch I also ran the hoisted case of this PR on its own, from the report for the hoisted linker: |
… separator The Windows dirname does not skip a trailing separator, so the global store check resolved the package folder itself. With the global store, that folder is a link into the store, and bun patch refused a path that ends in a separator. Also from review: - A link below the store link is a dependency link of a shared entry. bun patch now refuses it. Before, it detached the entry of the other package, which took that package out of the project until the next install. - The check runs only with the global store on, and an error other than 'not found' from realpath stops the patch. - The scan for the store link skips '.' components and ignores letter case. - The note names the store entry, not <name>@<version>.

The hoisted linker does it on the first run, the isolated linker on the second.bun installdoes not repair the isolated case.detach_module_folder_from_shared_store(src/install/PackageManager/patchPackage.rs:1043). It walks up from the package folder and unlinks the first symlink it finds.node_modules, and a link inside a shared global store entry go the same way.Fix

bun patchreplaces the installed package with an unlinked copy, so edits do not reach the cache.node_modules/<name>. Its own version of a package is atnode_modules/<name>/node_modules/<pkg>.linker = "isolated"andglobalStore = true,node_modules/.bun/<storepath>is a link into<cache>/links/, which all projects share. To detach is to replace that link with a real directory.Notes

They guard behavior that main has and that the rewritten code must keep: the two spellings of
node_modules/.bun/no-deps@1.1.0/node_modules/no-deps(second-to-last row), and a package folder with a trailing separator.The error of the new check:
The path in the note works today:

Without it, the install that
bun patchruns first has detached every entry. It resolves the parent of the package folder, or the deepest ancestor that exists, withrealpath. An error other than "not found" stops the patch.Why the store link is found by its position and not by its target.
link_project_to_global_store(src/install/isolated_install/Installer.rs:2558) creates every project link whose own target is in<cache>/links/, always atnode_modules/.bun/<storepath>. The links of the root and of a workspace point tonode_modules/.bun/<storepath>/node_modules/<pkg>and reach the store through it. The installer finds a stale store link by position too (Installer.rs:1176). A rule "remove the link if its target is innode_modules/.bun" would still removenode_modules/<dep>, which is one of the bugs here. The scan skips.components. It ignores letter case except on Linux and Android, asresolve_path::is_parent_or_equaldoes. Therealpathcheck covers any other spelling: it fails closed.Self-review, the concerns not taken:
node_modules/.bun/<x>link, the scan takes the outer link. Not realistic.expect(stderr).not.toContain("error:")follows the other tests of the file.Installer.rs:2591says thatbun patchnever detachesnode_modules/.bun/<storepath>. It does for the path form, on main too, and abun installbefore--committhen deletes that copy. That is older than this PR and is tracked as separate work.node_modulesand.bunstay.NODE_MODULES_BUNis private to the installer and is the joined form.Related open PRs. #43188 calls this function with the parent of the package folder, and its rename already moves a link at the package folder aside. After this PR it must pass the package folder, or the function would remove a symlinked
node_modules. The test "keeps a symlinked node_modules folder" fails in that case. #43160 moves the call and passes the package folder. #43365 restores the dependency link after--commitand lists this bug as not covered.Windows. Junctions take the same path through
get_file_attributesandrmdir, and the new check usessys::realpaththere. The Windowsdirnamedoes not skip a trailing separator, so the function removes it first. On windows-x64 the block passes with this PR (10 tests), and the whole file passes (47 tests).Suites run with the debug build:
