Problem

• bun install --analyze, bun add --analyze and bun create <component> install a package for a URL in CSS or HTML. url(images/bg.png) installs images from npm. <img src="photo.webp"> asks for photo.webp, and the 404 stops the install.
• BundleV2::get_all_dependencies (src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:4418) takes the first path segment of each external import record as a package name. install: fix regressions and older bugs found after the package manager consolidation #45307 (1.4.4) added that rule for lodash/debounce.

Fix

• The scan takes no package name from an ImportKind::Url record, except from a scoped path (@scope/name/...).
• Such a URL names a file, and a file of that kind imports nothing.
• Verified: test/cli/install/bun-add.test.ts (9 new cases, 7 fail on main).
• Self-reviewed: the review rejected a first version (a resolver change, 5 concerns) and asked for this fix first (Notes).

Background

• --analyze bundles the given files with every package external, then installs the packages that the external import records name.
• Url is the kind of a url() token in CSS and of an asset attribute in HTML, such as <img src>. @import, composes and <script src> have other kinds.
• Considered the fix in the resolver. It also changes bun build --packages=external output, so it needs a maintainer decision (Notes).

Downsides

• A package that only an unscoped url() names, such as url(leaflet/dist/images/marker.png), is not installed, as in 1.4.3. 1.4.4 installs it.
• @import "theme/dark.css" and composes: a from "base.module.css" without ./ still install theme and base.module.css. An it.failing case records it.
• Release binary: text +256 bytes.

Notes

Reproduction on main (179664e)

echo '{ "name": "app" }' > package.json
mkdir images && printf png > images/bg.png
echo 'import "./styles.css"; import "is-number";' > entry.ts
echo 'body { background: url(images/bg.png); }' > styles.css
bun install --analyze entry.ts

• main: installs is-number@7.0.0 and images@3.2.4.
• This branch: installs is-number@7.0.0 only.

What the scan adds, row by row

bun install --analyze --lockfile-only and bun add --analyze --lockfile-only, release builds of main and of this branch, a loopback registry that answers every name. Each entry imports bar. The local file exists unless the row says that it does not.

input	main adds	this branch adds
css url(images/bg.png)	bar, images	bar
css url(bg.png)	bar, bg.png	bar
css url(images/bg.png?v=2#frag)	bar, images	bar
css @font-face { src: url(fonts/a.woff2) }	bar, fonts	bar
css url(images/bg.png), no file	bar, images	bar
html <img src="images/photo.webp">, page as entry or imported	bar, images	bar
html <img src="photo.webp">	bar, photo.webp	bar
html <img src="images/photo.webp?v=1">	bar, images	bar
html <img src="images/missing.png">, no file	bar, images	bar
html <link rel="manifest" href="site.webmanifest">	bar, site.webmanifest	bar
css @import "other.css"	bar, other.css	bar, other.css
css @import "sub/other.css"	bar, sub	bar, sub
css composes: b from "other.module.css"	bar, other.module.css	bar, other.module.css
css @import "pkgcss/dist/x.css", no file	bar, pkgcss	bar, pkgcss
html <script src="lodash">, no file	bar, lodash	bar, lodash

• 13 rows are wrong on main, 3 on this branch (the @import and composes rows).
• bun 1.4.3 took a name only when the whole path was a package name, so it was right on the rows with a / and wrong on bg.png, photo.webp, site.webmanifest, other.css and other.module.css.
• bun create ./App.tsx with url(images/bg.png) and url(icon.svg) in App.css: main runs bun --only-missing install -- images icon.svg react-dom@19 react@19. This branch runs it with react-dom@19 react@19.

Why only the Url kind

• A url() target and a page asset are files that the bundler copies. They import nothing, so the scan loses no package when it does not read them.
• An @import or composes path without ./ can be a package (@import "tailwindcss", @import "normalize.css/normalize.css") or a file next to the stylesheet. Only a file lookup can tell. A rule by spelling would stop the install of real packages, and a dropped name would hide the imports of the stylesheet behind it.
• A scoped url(@scope/name/file) stays a package, as 1.4.4 reads it. A directory that starts with @ next to a stylesheet is rare.
• A <link rel="stylesheet"> or a <script src> is not a Url record. With styles.css and app.js next to the page, the HTML scanner resolves both and the scan adds nothing for them. With no such file the name is a package, as <link rel="stylesheet" href="tailwindcss"> in the docs. This PR keeps that rule.

Measurements (Linux x64, release builds of main 179664e and of this branch)

• Release binary: text 107,582,646 to 107,582,902 bytes (+256, size). Stripped file: 107,730,656 bytes in both.
• BundleV2::get_all_dependencies: 1,153 to 1,183 bytes (nm -S). It runs one time for each scan, and not in bun build or at run time. The scan pays one more compare for each external import record.

The resolver change, which needs a decision

The cause of the whole class is in the resolver. With packages = external, Resolver::resolve_and_auto_install (src/resolver/resolver.rs:1237) calls a path without ./ a package before any lookup. Without packages = external, a CSS or page asset path is a file next to its importer first, and a package second. esbuild has the same order with --packages=external (checked with 0.21.5 and 0.25.1, and 0.18.6 has the order of bun).

A first version of this fix made the resolver look next to the importer first for these import kinds. It is on the branch robobun/ea64e0ba/resolver-css-path-beside-importer (2 commits on 5c6d4e2, with 25 test cases). It is not in this PR, for these reasons:

• It changes the output of bun build --packages=external and Bun.build({ packages: "external" }) with no flag. A stylesheet with @import "other.css", url(images/bg.png) or url(fonts/x.woff2) gets those files bundled, copied or inlined, where main keeps the paths as written. No issue asks for that change.
• It is one more exception in front of that resolver rule, after the tsconfig paths exception of test --changed: let tsconfig paths win over packages=external #29591. tsconfig baseUrl, package.json imports and the browser map have the same fault for JavaScript imports (open PRs resolver: resolve "#" subpath imports under --packages=external and accept "#/" specifiers #40798 and test --changed: follow bare specifiers that resolve to local files #44836).
• Its review found faults in that version. An exact --external images is not checked before the file lookup, so url(images/bg.png) is inlined where main keeps it (--external 'images/*' keeps it). Its second commit repeats the ENAMETOOLONG change of open PR bundler: resolve a percent-encoded CSS url() or @import by its decoded path #46511. The review also reported that the shortcut through the cached directory listing can give a different answer from run to run for a stylesheet that a plugin resolves. Two probes of mine did not reproduce that.
• The review asked for this PR first. Its wording kept a lone name such as url(bg.png) as a package, as 1.4.3 did. This PR drops that too: a lone name in a url() or in <img src> is a file name, and it is the photo.webp case above.

Measured on that branch: the scan is right on 12 of the 13 rows (a path with no file still names a package), bun test --changed follows a stylesheet to theme.css and images/bg.svg, and bun create finds tailwindcss behind @import "theme.css".

The question for a maintainer: may a path without ./ in CSS or HTML resolve to a local file under packages = external?

• Yes, for builds too: the rule belongs in load_node_modules, after the local lookups, for every import kind. That is where esbuild has it. It replaces the resolver part of resolver: resolve "#" subpath imports under --packages=external and accept "#/" specifiers #40798.
• Yes, for the scans only: the same lookup behind a switch that --analyze, bun create and bun test --changed set.
• No: the three rows above stay, and ./ is the workaround.

Other open PRs

• install --analyze: read the import records before the link #46602 has the case it.failing("bun add --analyze reads a URL without ./ in an HTML page as a file beside the page"). With this PR the scan gives the wanted result there, so that case must become it in the PR that lands second. The analyze() helper is the same text in both PRs.
• bundler: resolve a percent-encoded CSS url() or @import by its decoded path #46511 and resolver: resolve "#" subpath imports under --packages=external and accept "#/" specifiers #40798 are named above. This PR does not touch the resolver.

Suites run

• Debug build: test/cli/install/bun-add.test.ts (229 pass).
• Release builds of main and of this branch: the 9 new cases (main: 7 fail, 2 pass. This branch: 9 pass). The 2 that pass on main are the case for the packages that must still be added and the it.failing case.

Status: ready for review. The fix is this PR (#46739).

How I reproduced it on main (179664e):

echo '{ "name": "app" }' > package.json
mkdir images && printf png > images/bg.png
echo 'import "./styles.css"; import "is-number";' > entry.ts
echo 'body { background: url(images/bg.png); }' > styles.css
bun install --analyze entry.ts

• main installs is-number@7.0.0 and images@3.2.4.
• This branch installs is-number@7.0.0 only.

CI for de7b69d (build 131997): 179 jobs passed. The 2 macOS x64 test jobs did not run. They expired in the queue two times with no agent (13:05 and 14:05 UTC) and are queued again. The builds of other branches from the same hours (132048 to 132058) have those 2 jobs in the queue too.

Six tests failed one time and passed on a retry:

• test/js/sql/postgres-connection.test.ts
• test/js/bun/css/nth-anplusb-ident.test.ts
• test/js/bun/spawn/spawn_waiter_thread.test.ts
• test/js/first_party/ws/ws-proxy.test.ts
• test/js/bun/spawn/spawn-stdin-readable-stream.test.ts
• test/js/web/fetch/fetch-leak.test.ts

None of them runs the --analyze scan that this PR changes. test/cli/install/bun-add.test.ts is not among them.

[claude]

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also traced every producer of ImportKind::Url to check the new clause's blast radius: it is set only by the CSS url() paths (src/css/values/url.rs, src/css/values/image.rs, src/css/properties/custom.rs) and the HTML asset attributes in src/bundler/HTMLScanner.rs, so JS/TS import specifiers (including new URL(...)) and CSS @ import records are not affected by the filter at src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:4427.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds one condition to the --analyze dependency scan in src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs so unscoped ImportKind::Url records are not taken as package names, plus tests in test/cli/install/bun-add.test.ts. No security-sensitive surface is touched. Inline findings already cover the behavioral regression for unscoped package assets and the test issues, so this note only records the producer trace that was ruled out.

Walkthrough

The dependency collector now excludes most URL imports from dependency results. The analysis tests cover CSS and HTML asset URLs, package specifiers, and selected entry points.

Changes

Dependency Analysis

Layer / File(s)	Summary
URL import filtering src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs	get_all_dependencies collects URL imports as external dependencies only when their parsed names start with @.
Analysis test coverage test/cli/install/bun-add.test.ts	The analysis helper supports configurable entry points and registry responses. Tests cover CSS and HTML asset URLs, package specifiers, missing assets, and unresolved relative CSS paths.

The dependency-scan change appears mergeable with a small test-fixture correction: use an assigned local registry port so the create test does not depend on port 1 being unused.

Review follow-up, in 2fe272a and de7b69d:

• The bun create case uses a registry on port 0 that answers 404, and it clears BUN_OPTIONS.
• The case for the packages that the scan must still add uses <link rel="stylesheet" href="tailwindcss">, the form in the docs.
• The comment on the new condition is one line.

Not changed: the scan does not look for a file before it drops an unscoped url() name, and the bun create case stays in bun-add.test.ts. The reasons are in the review threads.

[claude]

I re-reviewed the two follow-up commits and found no bugs; the remaining question is the product rule itself (an unscoped url() path never names a package), which the description leaves to a maintainer, so a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The one-line condition at src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs:4426 against the ImportKind::Url producers (CSS url() in src/css, HTML img/video/source/manifest/icon handlers in src/bundler/HTMLScanner.rs) — <link rel="stylesheet"> and <script src> are At/Stmt, so they stay package candidates as the positive test asserts.
• The bun create case now uses a Bun.serve({ port: 0 }) 404 registry and clears BUN_OPTIONS, which closes the earlier CA-flag concern; the positive case no longer certifies a file-looking <link href> as a package.
• The analyze() helper's absent 404 filter and files fixture writing — pipes are drained with Promise.all and the old call sites keep their defaults.

Extended reasoning...

The diff adds one condition to the --analyze dependency scanner in src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs so ImportKind::Url records (CSS url(), HTML asset attributes) are not recorded as npm package names unless scoped, and extends test/cli/install/bun-add.test.ts with a url()/HTML matrix, an HTML entry-point case, a positive case, an it.failing case for bare @ import, and a bun create end-to-end test. It touches no security-sensitive surface; the scan only decides which names are installed from the configured registry. Two commits since the prior review addressed the BUN_OPTIONS leak and the port-1 registry, and no CODEOWNER covers these paths. Defer rather than approve because the change deliberately trades one input class (unscoped url(pkg/...) that 1.4.4 installed) for another, and the PR description itself asks a maintainer to decide the broader resolver question.
