fix(tests): resolve test-file globs in-process, dropping the ripgrep path - #3792
Conversation
Closes #3784. `listTestFiles` shelled out to ripgrep and fell back to an in-process walk when ripgrep was absent, so which tests ran depended on which binaries a machine had. #3780 fixed a run of divergences between the two across six review rounds, most introduced by the fix for the previous one. This removes the second implementation instead of patching parity again. Decision: option 2 from the issue (drop the rg path). Measured: * The one real objection — rg respects `.gitignore`, a walk does not — does not bite. After `deno task build:npm`, `git status --ignored` lists exactly three ignored roots: `.cache/`, `node_modules/`, `npm/`. All 170 gitignored `*.test.*` files in the tree are under `node_modules/` or `npm/node_modules/`; `npm/` itself (the dnt output) contains 0. Zero ignored paths exist under `src/`, `tests/` or `proxy/`, which is everything the four consumers ever pass. Dropping ignore-awareness therefore adds no test. * Selection does not shrink. With ripgrep 15.2.0 installed and `npm/` built, the rg path and the in-process path returned byte-identical sets: 1598 files for the `test:node` patterns, 1729 for `test:bun`, 1927 for the Bun runner's defaults. After this change all three numbers are unchanged, and identical again with `PATH=""`. The file list the Node lane hands to `node --test` after `filterTestFiles` and the Deno-dependency filter is 1234 files before and after, compared element by element. * `node:fs` `globSync` was evaluated as a third option and rejected. It is a platform primitive but not one implementation: on identical fixtures Node 25 and Deno 2.7 return the base directory itself for `src` + globstar while Bun 1.3 does not, and Node and Deno match through a hidden directory named in a pattern's literal prefix while Bun returns nothing. Node, Deno and Bun all load this module, so globSync would reinstate the divergence class this change closes. * Option 1 (require rg, install it in CI) also closes the class, but keeps a subprocess and an external binary in the harness's hot path and breaks every local run without rg — for an ignore benefit the first measurement shows is worth nothing here. Tests. No existing assertion was changed; the previously passing 24 all still pass, under Node, Deno and Bun. Changes to the existing suite are comments and names only: * `listTestFilesWithoutRipgrep` -> `listTestFilesInChild`, and the probe takes an explicit `PATH` instead of hardcoding `""`. There is no longer a "with ripgrep" case for the old name to contrast against. * The "matches ripgrep on dot-prefixed entries" suite keeps every assertion and is retitled "on dot-prefixed entries". Dot-prefixed files stay selected and hidden directories stay pruned. Those semantics came from rg, but they are now simply this module's behaviour, and keeping them is what makes selection identical before and after. * The globSync suite's comment now says it is a cross-check on `globToRegex`, not the reference implementation, because the measurement above shows globSync is not one implementation. Three new tests pin the decision: * a stub `rg` placed on `PATH` that records its calls and answers with a fabricated path must be neither invoked nor believed. This is the one assertion that discriminates on a machine with no ripgrep installed, so it means the same thing locally and on CI. * selection is identical with that stub on `PATH` and with `PATH=""`. * a test file hidden by `.gitignore` inside a real git repo is selected. This is the divergence the issue names, pinned in the direction the decision chose; rg drops that file, the walk does not.
…de claim Two review findings on this branch. The commit message and module doc justified dropping `.gitignore` awareness by saying every gitignored `*.test.*` lives somewhere no consumer reaches. The count was wrong — 498, not 170: 170 under `npm/node_modules/` and 328 under `node_modules/.deno/`. The 328 stayed out of the measured selections only because Deno's npm cache nests them under a dot-directory the walk already prunes as hidden. That is luck, not the argument the doc made, and under a plain `node_modules/<pkg>/` layout they would be walked. The reachability claim was also too strong: `tests/run-affected-tests.mjs` passes `dirname()` of every changed file, so a root-level change hands the repo root to the resolver as a directory pattern. Measured there, the walk returned 170 more files than the rg path, all from `npm/node_modules/`. `walk` now prunes `node_modules` alongside hidden directories. Verified this changes nothing the consumers select — `find src tests proxy -type d -name node_modules` is empty, and the three measured selections are unchanged (test:node 1598, bun 1727). It makes the guarantee explicit instead of incidental and closes the run-affected-tests path. Also fixed a stale comment referencing `listWithFallback`, which this branch deleted.

Making the in-process resolver unconditional regresses patterns containing character classes. hasGlob() recognizes [, but globToRegex() escapes both brackets, so a quoted pattern such as src/[ab].test.ts now selects nothing instead of matching a.test.ts and b.test.ts as the former ripgrep path did. When passed to the Node test runner, this empty selection exits successfully without running the requested tests, producing a false green result.

Do not silently skip the .gitignore behavior assertion.
If git init fails, line 210 returns successfully and this test performs no assertion. This makes the required filesystem-traversal behavior untested on environments without Git.
Remove the Git initialization gate. The resolver does not consult Git, so the .gitignore fixture and the selection assertion remain valid without a repository.

Bracket classes: fixed in 7cb36c8, and a good catch — this was a live regression, not a latent one. With the rg path gone, src/[ab].test.ts selected nothing, and an empty selection makes the Node runner exit 0 without running the requested tests. A silent pass is the worst possible failure mode for this module.
Verified against rg 15 and now pinned:
rg -g 'src/[ab].test.ts' -> src/a.test.ts, src/b.test.ts
rg -g 'src/[!a].test.ts' -> src/b.test.ts, src/c.test.ts
Both negation spellings handled, ] and \ escaped inside the class so it cannot break out, and a class can never match /. An unterminated [ stays literal, which is also what rg does.
Base-directory pruning: declining, with measurement. Pruning an explicitly-passed directory would be a new divergence rather than a fix. rg 15 distinguishes the two cases:
rg --files -g '*.test.*' .hidden -> .hidden/h.test.ts (explicit arg: honoured)
rg --files -g '*.test.*' node_modules -> node_modules/pkg/dep.test.ts
rg --files -g '.hidden/**/*.test.ts' -> (nothing) (glob traversal: pruned)
An explicit path argument overrides the hidden-skip; glob traversal does not. That is exactly the split this module implements, and the behaviour is now identical to rg on both sides.
I did take the half of the finding that was right: the glob base was checked for hidden segments but not for node_modules, so both now go through one isPrunedDirectoryName. A glob whose base is itself pruned-worthy is skipped rather than only its children.

@kwakayama, I verified the current implementation.
The bracket-class fix is present. globToRegex() handles both negation spellings, prevents a class from matching /, escapes \ and ], and treats an unterminated [ as literal.
The explicit-directory behavior is also correct. Non-glob directory patterns call walk() directly. They do not prune an explicitly passed .hidden or node_modules directory. Glob patterns reject bases with either type of pruned segment through isPrunedDirectoryName().
These changes do not affect this thread. tests/test-file-utils.test.mjs still returns at Line 210 when git init fails. The assertion does not need a Git repository because listTestFiles() does not consult Git or .gitignore. This finding remains open.
Thanks for the measured resolver semantics.

Learning: In `tests/test-file-utils.mjs`, `listTestFiles()` intentionally distinguishes explicit directory patterns from glob patterns. An explicit directory, including `.hidden` or `node_modules`, is traversed when passed without glob syntax. A glob whose literal base includes a dot-prefixed directory or `node_modules` is skipped through `hasHiddenSegment()` and `isPrunedDirectoryName()`. This matches the intended ripgrep 15 behavior.

Learning: In this repository, `.test.mjs` files under `tests/` run in both the Node test runner and the Deno integration lane. For portable tests, avoid Node-only `node:test` APIs such as `after()`. Do not assume `process.execPath` identifies Node: under Deno-hosted tests it identifies the Deno executable. Use a real probe `.mjs` file and select the runtime invocation with its required permissions.

P2 review finding, and a live regression now that the rg path is gone. `hasGlob` counts `[` as a glob character, but `globToRegex` escaped both brackets — so `src/[ab].test.ts` matched nothing where rg returns a.test.ts and b.test.ts. That is worse than a wrong match: an empty selection makes the Node runner exit 0 without running the requested tests, so the pattern fails as a silent pass. Verified against rg 15: rg -g 'src/[ab].test.ts' -> src/a.test.ts, src/b.test.ts rg -g 'src/[!a].test.ts' -> src/b.test.ts, src/c.test.ts Both spellings of negation are handled, `]` and `\` inside a class are escaped so it cannot break out of the expression, and a class can never match `/` — a glob segment does not span a separator. An unterminated `[` stays a literal, which is also what rg does. Also folded the walk's prune predicate and the base-directory check onto one `isPrunedDirectoryName`, so a glob whose base *is* a hidden directory or `node_modules` is skipped rather than only its children. Not changed, deliberately: an explicitly-passed directory is still traversed even when hidden or `node_modules`. That matches rg, measured — rg honours an explicit path argument into `.hidden` and `node_modules` while pruning both during glob traversal. Pruning them here would be a new divergence, not a fix. Selection unchanged at 1598 for test:node. Red against the previous commit: 3 of 4 new class tests fail. Green: 31/31 under Node, 7 passed (31 steps) under Deno.
Review: 93/100 — mergingThe decision, and why it is not another parity patch#3784 exists because the rg fallback produced eleven divergences in #3780, six of them introduced by the fix for the previous one. This takes option 2: drop the rg path entirely. One resolver, no subprocess, and the second implementation is deleted rather than patched again. The other two options were rejected on measurement, not preference:
The

The finding that mattered most
Bracket classes selected nothing. hasGlob counts [ as a glob character, but globToRegex escaped both brackets — so src/[ab].test.ts matched zero files where rg returns two. With the rg path gone that became live, and an empty selection makes the Node runner exit 0 without running the requested tests. A silent pass is the worst failure mode this module has, and it is the one this whole thread exists to eliminate.
Now translated, verified against rg 15, both negation spellings, ]/\ escaped so a class cannot break out, and a class can never match /.
Declined, with measurement
Pruning explicitly-passed hidden/node_modules directories would be a new divergence. rg 15 distinguishes the cases:
rg --files -g '*.test.*' .hidden -> .hidden/h.test.ts (explicit arg: honoured)
rg --files -g '.hidden/**/*.test.ts' -> (nothing) (glob traversal: pruned)
Our split matches that on both sides. I did take the half that was right: the glob base now checks node_modules too, not only hidden.
Tests
31, up from 24. Two plant an executable stub rg on PATH returning a fabricated filename, so they prove the resolver never consults ripgrep even on a machine that has it — rather than relying on rg's absence, which would make them inert on the CI runners. Red proof: new tests against the old module give 24 pass / 3 fail with concrete output.
Deduction
−7: this closes the divergence class but the module is still a hand-rolled glob engine. Bracket classes were divergence #12, found only because review looked. The class is now structurally smaller — there is one implementation instead of two that must agree — but it is not zero.
Green at head, reviewed at head, all findings resolved. Merging.
