…s own browser context On the chrome backend every view shared the one default browser context, so cookies and storage leaked between views and "ephemeral" was ignored. An explicit dataStore: "ephemeral", or a proxy option, now makes the attach chain send Target.createBrowserContext first and create the tab inside that context. close() and Target.detachedFromTarget dispose it. The new proxy option (chrome only) maps to createBrowserContext's proxyServer and proxyBypassList, so each view can have its own proxy. Fixes #43416

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the new proxy parsing in src/runtime/webview/JSWebViewConstructor.cpp for exception-scope gaps (every get/toWTFString/arr->get is followed by RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION, and a non-JSArray bypass such as a Proxy is rejected by type rather than iterated) and the error reply for the new Method::TargetCreateBrowserContext arm (it flows through settleFailure, which rejects the Navigate slot for any non-PageTitle method, so a rejected context creation does not hang navigate()).
Extended reasoning...
The inline findings already cover the lifecycle gaps around the new browser context (policy-disabled incognito, close-before-handshake keep-alive, and a context left alive when createTarget fails and the view is dropped). This note records two adjacent concerns I examined from the diff and ruled out: the constructor's JS-entering calls are all paired with RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION and non-array bypass values never reach length()/get(), and the new attach-chain arm's CDP error path settles the navigate promise via the existing settleFailure logic. Neither is a guarantee of overall correctness; the open findings still warrant a human look.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.
…default Dispose the context when Target.createTarget fails, so a view that is never closed leaks nothing. Name the likely cause when Chrome refuses Target.createBrowserContext. Drop a context request still queued behind the WebSocket handshake at close(), so the process exits at once. Reject proxy with any dataStore.directory form, including an empty one. Docs and types: the omitted dataStore default is backend specific.

On the CodeRabbit note about a Target.createTarget that is in flight at close(): that is the existing behaviour for every chrome view, with or without a context of its own, and #39075 addresses it on its own. This PR keeps that path as it is and adds the matching handling only for Target.createBrowserContext, whose reply is the one place the new context id appears. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I re-checked the three context-lifecycle paths raised in the earlier review and they are addressed in the current push: a createBrowserContext still queued behind the WebSocket handshake is dropped at close() (m_wsOpen gate), a failed createTarget disposes the context and clears the id, and a reply that lands after close() disposes from the result and refreshes keep-alive. I also checked for double-dispose across close() followed by targetCrashed: close() exchanges m_browserContextId to empty, so the crash path is a no-op.
Extended reasoning...
The current diff (src/runtime/webview/ChromeBackend.cpp at close(), handleResponse's !view and error branches, and the Target.targetCrashed handler) now covers each path flagged in the prior review, and every dispose site uses std::exchange on the id so the context is released at most once. The remaining posted finding is a test-hygiene nit; the hunt stopped at its bug cap rather than running dry and two verified findings were not posted, so this is a note for the author rather than an approval.

Ephemeral is the documented default on both backends and the WebKit backend already isolates per view. Only dataStore.directory shares the one Chrome's default context now. A Target.createBrowserContext in flight at close() is retagged as orphaned and disposed from its reply, the same shape as the in-flight Target.createTarget handling.

docs/runtime/webview.mdx— Users who connect Bun to their running Chrome (auto-detect orbackend.url) now get an incognito window with none of that browser's logged-in cookies, where the base opened a tab in their profile. This follows from the stated purpose, but the docs at docs/runtime/webview.mdx:137 still promise "your views open as tabs in your existing browser", and the only way back isdataStore: { directory }, whose value JSWebView.cpp:358-370 discards in connect mode. Fix: make the contract true for connect mode too — either gatem_ownBrowserContext(JSWebViewConstructor.cpp:422) on spawn mode, or state in webview.mdx and bun.d.ts that a connected browser's own profile is selected withdataStore: { directory }(value unused there) and that ephemeral views open incognito windows.Extended reasoning...
A developer runs Chrome with remote debugging on and is logged into a site. They run
new Bun.WebView({ url: siteUrl })on Linux (chrome backend default). JSWebView.cpp:363-370 reads DevToolsActivePort and connects over WebSocket; the same happens withbackend: { type: "chrome", url: "ws://..." }at JSWebView.cpp:358-359, whereuserDataDiris not even passed. JSWebViewConstructor.cpp:422 sets m_ownBrowserContext = true because no directory was given. First navigate at ChromeBackend.cpp:1529-1531 sends Target.createBrowserContext to the user's full Chrome; ChromeBackend.cpp:842-845 then sends Target.createTarget with that browserContextId and newWindow:true. Full Chrome creates a DevTools off-the-record profile and opens an Incognito window: the page loads logged out. On the base, navigate() sent createTarget with no context (ChromeBackend.cpp:1533-1534) and the tab opened in the user's profile with its cookies, which is what docs/runtime/webview.mdx:137 still describes. The PR describes the change as views no longer sharing cookies with each other; it does not mention losing the…Verification: normal — acknowledged in diff: the PR description says "This is a behaviour change for chrome views that omit
dataStoreand relied on sharing cookies", but that note only frames it as view-to-view sharing; it does not name connect mode, where the thing lost is the user's own logged-in profile, and the docs for that mode were left stale. Triggering condition: a Chrome-family browser is…

On the connect-mode note: the docs at the existing-Chrome section now say that an ephemeral view opens as an incognito window in the connected browser, and that dataStore: { directory } (value unused there) opens the view in that browser's own profile (da11817). The code keeps one rule for both modes: ephemeral is an own context, { directory } is the default context. |

Problem
chromebackend everyBun.WebViewshares the one default browser context of the single Chrome process. Two views share one cookie jar: aset-cookiereceived by view A is sent by view B. The docs and types promise that the default,dataStore: "ephemeral", discards cookies and storage per view, and the WebKit backend honours that.JSWebViewConstructor.cpp:319-326accepts"ephemeral"and then ignores it.Ops::navigate(ChromeBackend.cpp:1465) always sendsTarget.createTargetwith nobrowserContextId.cdp()pins the tab session id, so Chrome answersNot allowedtoTarget.createBrowserContext, and userland cannot build the isolation.Fix
"ephemeral") now gets a browser context of its own. The attach chain starts with a browser-levelTarget.createBrowserContext { disposeOnDetach: true }. Its reply storesm_browserContextIdand chains intoTarget.createTargetwith that id.close(),Target.detachedFromTarget, and a failedTarget.createTargetsendTarget.disposeBrowserContext. AcreateBrowserContextin flight atclose()is retagged as orphaned and disposed from its reply, the same shape webview: close the tab created by a Target.createTarget that was in flight at close() #39075 uses for an in-flightcreateTarget. A refusedcreateBrowserContextrejectsnavigate()with a message that names the likely cause (incognito disabled by policy) and the option to use instead.dataStore: { directory }keeps today's shared default context (the process-wide--user-data-dir). This is a behaviour change for chrome views that omitdataStoreand relied on sharing cookies. It makes the code match the documented default and the WebKit backend. The typedataStore?: "ephemeral" | { directory }cannot express an omitted-versus-explicit distinction, so the docs do not try to.proxyoption (stringor{ server, bypass? }) maps tocreateBrowserContext'sproxyServerandproxyBypassList, so each view can have its own proxy. It rejectsdataStore: { directory }. This is new public API surface, carried here because it is one more parameter on the same CDP call.

Target.*calls are browser-level (nosessionId). A browser context is Chrome's incognito-style unit of isolation: its own cookie jar, storage and proxy settings.Target.createBrowserContextreturns an id,Target.createTargetaccepts it,Target.disposeBrowserContextcloses its tabs and drops its state. Puppeteer and Playwright build incognito contexts this way.navigate()runs beforePage.navigate:createTarget,attachToTarget,Page.enable. Each reply chains into the next command throughTransport::m_pending. This PR addscreateBrowserContextat the front of that chain for ephemeral views.disposeOnDetach: truetells Chrome to drop the context when Bun's connection goes away, so a browser death or an unclean exit leaks nothing.Notes
proxyBypassListin CDP is one comma-separated string, like--proxy-bypass-list. The JS option takesstring[]and the constructor joins it."ephemeral"and left omitteddataStoreshared.
