Problem

  • test/aot/the-file-of-a-worker-goes-through-a-class-require-or-a-package.test.ts takes 326 s on debian 13 x64-asan (build #137158). It makes seven compiled runs in sequence.
  • Three repeat the next run without its overwrite of the Worker files, and pass wherever it passes.
  • No run is held to its test summary, and nothing shows that the overwrite changes an answer. Under bun bd test, 3 of 4 tests fail on main at the inner 5 s limit.

Fix

  • Each form (one program, two or three layers) keeps one compiled run, the one with the overwrite. One plain run serves all. Seven compiled runs become four.
  • Every run must end with 2 pass, 0 fail, 5 expect() calls, Ran 2 tests across 2 files. A new plain run with the overwrite must answer from disk 42 27 times.
  • The inner bun test gets --timeout=60000.
  • Verified. CI: x64-asan 153 s (was 326), x64 44 s (121), aarch64 27 s (96). Local release: 20 to 23 s, then 13 to 15 s. bun bd test: 6 pass in 339 s (main with raised limits: 435 s).

Background

  • The inner test overwrites each Worker file to answer from disk. A compiled Worker still answers wN 42. One that runs from its text does not.
  • TestRunLayers:N builds a test run as N programs. The lowest holds Bun's own library and takes about 80% of the run.
  • AOT: hangs, wrong answers, failed builds; bun test --aot follows #44833's mocks #47605 makes the same cut in a sibling file and keeps this file's tests serial, as they stay here. Its lines for this file apply on top.
Notes

What no longer runs. Each of the three tests of a test run did this on main:

  1. bun test --isolate, plain.
  2. bun test --aot --isolate with the words of the form.
  3. The same command with WRITES_OVER_WORKERS=1 and BUN_JSC_logAOTPhaseTimes=1. The inner test then writes from disk into each of the 27 Worker files before it starts the Workers, and the build says how many Worker files it took in.

This PR keeps run 3 and removes run 2. Run 1 is made once, in a test of its own. Every run is compared with one stated result, so no test waits for the run of another. The reasons:

  • Both compiled runs build the same program. The inner test reads the first variable when it runs. The second switches a log on, and test/aot/README.md says that no environment variable changes the code that a build generates. With the log switched on, run 2 names as many units in each program as run 3: 102 as one program, 147 and 17 in two layers, 147, 12 and 10 in three.
  • In run 2 a Worker that runs from its text answers like a compiled one. So run 2 cannot fail where run 3 passes. The third fault below shows the other direction: run 2 passes, run 3 fails.
  • a-file-that-a-worker-starts-from-is-not-built-again-over-a-layer.test.ts still makes compiled runs of a project with Workers without the log, as one program, in two layers and in three.

Assertions, before and after.

Before After
SEEN lines of each run compared with the table of the file the same
Worker files that a build took in [27] for run 3. [] for run 2, which has no log that could say otherwise [27] for every compiled run
That the overwrite changes an answer not checked a plain run with the overwrite must answer from disk 42 for each of the 27 Workers
Summary of the inner run not checked 2 pass, 0 fail, 5 expect() calls, Ran 2 tests across 2 files. for each plain run and each compiled run
A run that exits with an error the exit code the exit code and the stderr of the run
Plain run of the executable's program its lines its lines, its stderr and its exit code, in one comparison
Limit of the inner test 5 s 60 s

Four faults, put into the project text of both versions of the file. Release build, the tests of a test run only.

Fault main This PR
In a compiled run the second test file skips its test 3 pass 3 fail: 1 pass, 1 skip, 4 expect() calls
In a compiled run one check of the first test file does not run 3 pass 3 fail: 4 expect() calls
The first Worker starts from a URL whose path the test reads from a file, so no build follows it 3 fail, each at run 3. Run 2 passes 3 fail with the same diff: from disk 42, and 26 files taken in
The overwrite looks for a text that no Worker file holds, so it changes nothing 3 pass the plain run with the overwrite fails: 27 answers wN 42

Where the time goes. Each command alone, release build (bun-profile), 12 CPUs:

Command Wall Processor time
Plain bun test 0.1 s 0.2 s
Compiled, one program 0.7 to 0.9 s 2 s
Compiled, two layers 3.5 to 4.4 s 19 to 22 s
Compiled, three layers 3.6 to 4.2 s 19 to 21 s
bun build --compile --aot 6.4 to 7.0 s 12 s
The executable 0.1 s 0.1 s
  • In a run in layers the step the packages that test files share ends after 3.0 to 3.7 s of 3.8 to 4.3 s. That is the lowest program, with Bun's own library.
  • With a debug build one compiled run takes 20 to 29 s as one program, 75 to 109 s in two layers and 80 to 116 s in three. The build of the executable takes 110 to 160 s.

Local runs. Linux x64, 12 vCPUs, 16 GB. Each round is main and then this PR.

  • main fails there in each of the three tests of a test run, at run 2: the inner test starts 27 Workers and reaches its 5 s limit. So four of its seven compiled runs happen, and its time is not the time of the whole file.
  • "Limits raised" is main with --timeout=60000 for the inner test and 900 s for each test, and nothing else.
  • A first set of runs, at a time when the host took more of the machine, gave 408 s and 712 s for the two runs of main. Kernel time was several times as high. One test of main with its limits raised took 271 s then. On main it has 240 s.
  • A release build with AddressSanitizer was not timed locally: its build ran the container out of memory. The numbers of that lane are those of CI.

CI. The lanes that run the file are debian 13 x64-asan, x64 and aarch64.

main, build #137158 First commit, build #137279 Second commit, build #137286
debian 13 x64-asan 326 s 162.5 s 152.7 s
debian 13 x64 121 s 39.7 s 43.5 s
debian 13 aarch64 96 s 28.4 s 27.3 s

The columns are not the same way of running the file. On main it runs in a batch, many files in one process: 33 files, 7 at a time, on x64-asan in that build, and 3 at a time on the other two lanes. A file that a PR changes runs in a process of its own, beside two other files on x64-asan and beside one on x64 and aarch64.

This PR and #47605. At 22621ef, #47605 changes these things in this file:

  • testOneByOne in place of test, because four tests at once are too many builds beside the other files. This PR adds no concurrency.
  • --timeout=60000 for the inner run, and the stderr field. This PR has the same two lines.
  • Other expectations for the Worker files that a run in layers takes in. They belong to its source changes. Its lines replace the one comparison of the loop, which this PR leaves as it is on main.

In a-test-file-names-the-file-of-a-worker-that-the-project-starts.test.ts, which has the same three tests, #47605 reads one compiled run: "Both cases build the same program, so they read one run: the one that writes over the files". This PR makes the same cut here. #47605 moves the plain run of that file into a beforeAll. Here it is a test of its own, because this file has a test of an executable that must not wait for it. #47847 is the sweep PR for that sibling file. It adds the same plain run with the overwrite.

At that commit #47605 does not list this file in its new test/aot/every-build.txt, so CI would run the file only in its whole runs. This PR saves the same three builds there.

Not changed. The project text, the three forms and their words, the commands, the titles of the four tests of main (two titles are new, for the two plain runs), and the 240 s limit of each of those four.


no test proof · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/aot/the-file-of-a-worker-goes-through-a-class-require-or-a-package.test.ts

…ough-a-class-require-or-a-package

Each of the three tests of a test run made two compiled runs of one
program. The first left the Worker files alone, so a Worker that ran
from its text answered like a compiled one there. The second overwrites
the files, and is the one that tells. Keep the second. One plain run
serves the three tests.

Hold every run to the summary of its two test files and five checks.
Put the stderr of a failing run into the comparison. Hold the plain run
of the executable's program to its exit code.

Give the inner test 60 s. With a debug build the Workers of a compiled
run take more than the default 5 s, and three of the four tests failed.

Status: ready for review. The file that this PR changes is green in CI on every lane that runs it. The red tests of the build are in files that this PR does not change.

How the slowness was measured:

  • CI: the file took 326 s on debian 13 x64-asan in build #137158, 121 s on x64 and 96 s on aarch64.
  • Local, each command of the file alone with a release build: a compiled run in layers takes 19 to 22 s of processor time, and main makes each of the two twice.
  • Local, the whole file before and after: bun bd test test/aot/the-file-of-a-worker-goes-through-a-class-require-or-a-package.test.ts, and the same file with a release build. Every run is in the description.

Result for this file in CI, build #137286. It passed on the first try on each lane:

Lane main, build #137158 This PR
debian 13 x64-asan 326 s 152.7 s
debian 13 x64 121 s 43.5 s
debian 13 aarch64 96 s 27.3 s

The two columns are not the same way of running the file. On main it runs in a batch of files in one process. A file that a PR changes runs in a process of its own, beside one or two other files.

Build #137286 is red on 28 test files, and this PR changes none of them. All 28 also fail on the builds of recently merged PRs: most are tests of mocks under test/aot/.

PR: #47860

Walkthrough

The AOT worker test records a shared plain-run result, including worker output, AOT counts, test summary, exit code, and failure stderr. It compares compiled and executable runs against that result.

Changes

Worker AOT test comparisons

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture and compare worker test results
test/aot/the-file-of-a-worker-goes-through-a-class-require-or-a-package.test.ts
The test helper uses a 60-second timeout and returns the test summary and failure stderr. Separate plain-run tests cover workers answering from compiled code and, when WRITES_OVER_WORKERS is set, from disk. Layer and executable tests compare complete results against the shared plain-run result.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 6755c

The change strengthens worker-test assertions without an established behavioral regression. The two independent plain runs could run concurrently to follow repository guidance; this is a bounded, non-blocking concern.

Explanation

The PR description is detailed and covers the problem, the fix, and verification. It follows the template's two sections in substance: "What does this PR do?" is answered by the Problem and Fix sections, and "How did you verify your code works?" is answered by the local release and debug build timings, the four-fault table, and the CI results. The description is long and includes a collapsed details block. Its main gap is that the only platform-specific test it names was not run on the author's machine. CI results are cited, but the final CI run for the current commit is not stated as passing. Those results are still pending in the description.

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 checked whether the strict ended comparison between the plain and --aot runs could break on an extra stderr line: the summary block (N pass through Ran N tests across N files.) is written contiguously at the end of the run in src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs, after the load stage that prints the AOT ... more files that Workers start from lines, so the phase-time log cannot land inside the captured span.

Extended reasoning...

The change is confined to one AOT test file: it moves the plain bun test run into a beforeAll, drops the no-overwrite --aot run per form, adds --timeout=60000 to the inner run, and holds every run to its test summary via a new ended field and a stderr field surfaced only on nonzero exit. No runtime code and no security-sensitive surface is touched. The two inline findings (the raised inner timeout and the shared beforeAll making every test depend on the plain run) are what keep this from an outright approve.

…write tells

The plain run is a test of its own, and every run is compared with one
stated result. No test waits for the run of another: the test of the
executable is as independent of the plain test run as it was.

A new plain run with the overwrite must answer "from disk 42" for each
of the 27 Workers. Until now nothing showed that the overwrite changes
what a Worker answers that runs from its text. Without that, a compiled
run that answers as written proves nothing.

Nitpick Run the two plain-run tests concurrently.

220-222: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Low value

Run the two plain-run tests concurrently.

The two new plain-run tests at lines 216-223 do not share state, but they run one after the other. Each see call creates its own temporary directory and spawns its own bun test process. Both declarations use plain test, so they wait for each other. The repository guideline asks for test.concurrent when tests in one file spawn processes. Changing both declarations to test.concurrent would let them overlap.

Suggested fix
-test("each Worker answers under plain bun test", async () => {
+test.concurrent("each Worker answers under plain bun test", async () => {
   expect(await see([], {})).toEqual(plain);
 });
 
 // Plain Bun starts every Worker from the text on disk. So in a run that writes over the files, only compiled code answers as written.
-test("each Worker answers from disk under plain bun test, once the test has written over its file", async () => {
+test.concurrent("each Worker answers from disk under plain bun test, once the test has written over its file", async () => {
   expect(await see([], { WRITES_OVER_WORKERS: "1" })).toEqual({ ...plain, seen: fromDisk });
 });

As per coding guidelines: "Prefer concurrent tests over sequential tests: When multiple tests in the same file spawn processes or write files, make them concurrent with test.concurrent or describe.concurrent unless it's very difficult to make them concurrent."
