Conversation
POSIX allows a redirection to appear anywhere among a simple command's words. Bun's parser stopped collecting arguments at the first redirect token and returned, so `parse_stmt` parsed the remaining words as a fresh command and executed it. `echo x > log rm cache` would write "x" to log and then run `rm cache`. `parse_simple_cmd` now loops over arguments and redirections together: a redirection consumed mid-command no longer ends argument collection. Because the AST still carries a single redirect, a second redirect in the same command is reported as the existing "Multiple redirects are not supported yet" error instead of silently starting a new command.

Status: ready for review. This PR is the word loop: words after a redirection stay in the command, and an fd duplication takes no target. CI is green on bd91e39.

Beyond the inline nit, I also checked: the new loop cannot spin (every iteration advances via parse_atom/parse_redirect or breaks); ParsedRedirect::default() matches what the old unconditional parse_redirect() returned on the no-redirect path, so commands without redirects are unchanged; and the other parse_redirect() caller (subshell, parse.rs:1236) is untouched.
Extended reasoning...
The parser change itself is sound and well-tested. Deferring rather than approving because the inline 2>&1 variant-matrix nit is a fair "fix the whole class" call per REVIEW.md, and because this shifts user-visible shell semantics (trailing words no longer execute; > f1 ... > f2 now hard-errors) — a maintainer should sign off on that even though it is clearly the correct POSIX behavior.
`n>&m` is complete on its own. `parse_redirect` was reading the next word as the redirect target whenever one followed, so `echo A 2>&1 B C` lost `B` from argv and wrote stdout to a file named `B`. Hoist the duplicate_out check ahead of the file-operand parse so the following word stays in the enclosing command's arguments.

LGTM — the fd-dup follow-up is in and the loop terminates correctly.
What was reviewed:
- New interleaved arg/redirect loop:
check()peeks,parse_redirect()consumes viar#match, so every iteration advances; second-redirect and2>&1+> fcombos now surface the existing multi-redirect error instead of running a stray command. - Hoisted
duplicate_out()guard: verified the otherparse_redirect()caller (subshell, parse.rs:1236) is unaffected — any subshell redirect already errors at :1193 regardless of whether the trailing word was consumed. - Tests cover
>,<,printfmid-arg,2>&1,1>&2, and the multi-redirect rejection at both AST and behavioral layers.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Fixes Bun Shell's parser so words following a redirection stay attached to the same simple command per POSIX, instead of being executed as a separate command. Changes: ~22 lines in src/shell_parser/parse.rs (rewrite the arg-collection loop in parse_simple_cmd to interleave redirects; hoist the duplicate_out() early-return in parse_redirect), plus 6 behavioral tests in file-io.test.ts and 3 AST assertions in parse.test.ts.
Security risks
The pre-PR behavior was the risky one — trailing words after a redirect were silently executed as a new command (echo x > log rm cache ran rm cache). The fix removes that hazard. No new attack surface: input is still fully parsed before execution, and the multi-redirect case now fails closed with a parse error rather than executing anything.
Level of scrutiny
Medium. Shell parser changes affect every $-tagged template, but the diff is small, mechanical, and confined to the argument/redirect boundary of parse_simple_cmd plus a 3-line hoist in parse_redirect. I traced loop termination (check() is peek-only, parse_redirect() always advances past the Redirect token via r#match, and the else arm breaks), and confirmed the only other parse_redirect() caller — the subshell path at parse.rs:1236 — cannot regress because parse_compound_cmd at :1193 rejects any non-empty redirect_flags on a subshell before the leftover word would matter.
Other factors
- My earlier review flagged the
n>&mvariant; 7812134 addressed it exactly as suggested and added2>&1/1>&2tests at both the AST and behavioral level. Thread is resolved. - One deliberate behavior change:
echo a > f1 b > f2(andecho 2>&1 > f) previously mis-executed the tail as a second command; now they surface the existing "Multiple redirects are not supported yet" parse error. That's the honest answer given the single-redirect AST and is called out in the PR description with a test. - Gate evidence shows fail-before/pass-after on both ASAN-debug and release, and the full
bunshell.test.tssuite passes.

LGTM — the fd-dup follow-up from my earlier comment is in and covered by tests.
What was reviewed:
- Interleaved arg/redirect loop in
parse_simple_cmd: each iteration consumes ≥1 token or breaks, so it terminates;check()peeks andparse_redirect()consumes theRedirecttoken. - Hoisted
duplicate_out()guard:n>&mno longer eats the next word; trailingecho hi 2>&1(no following word) still parses identically. echo a > f1 b > f2now fails at parse time instead of silently executingb > f2— strict improvement given the single-redirect AST slot.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Two changes in src/shell_parser/parse.rs: (1) parse_simple_cmd now interleaves parse_atom() and parse_redirect() in a single loop so words after a redirect target stay in name_and_args instead of falling through to parse_stmt as a new command; (2) parse_redirect() hoists the redirect.duplicate_out() check ahead of the file-operand parse so 2>&1 / 1>&2 never consume the following word. A second redirect on the same simple command now surfaces the explicit "Multiple redirects are not supported yet" parse error rather than being silently split into a second command. Tests land in parse.test.ts (AST shape for >, <, and 2>&1 between arguments) and file-io.test.ts (behavioral coverage for echo, printf, cat <, 2>&1, 1>&2, and the multi-redirect error).
Security risks
None introduced. The pre-fix behavior was the risky one — trailing words after a redirect were executed as a fresh command (echo x > log rm cache ran rm cache). The fix removes an unintended execution vector. No new external input reaches the parser; the token stream is unchanged.
Level of scrutiny
Medium. This is user-visible shell semantics, but the change is ~25 lines of localized parser control flow that aligns Bun Shell with POSIX §2.9.1 (redirections may appear anywhere among a simple command's words). I traced loop termination: parse_atom() returning Some consumes ≥1 token; on None with a Redirect peeked, parse_redirect() consumes it via r#match; otherwise the loop breaks. No infinite-loop path. The trailing-2>&1 case (no following word) is unchanged since duplicate_out() was already the None-arm behavior — hoisting it just makes it fire when a word does follow.
Other factors
My earlier review flagged the fd-dup variant gap; the author addressed it exactly as suggested (guard hoisted, echo A 2>&1 B C and echo A 1>&2 B tests added, matching AST assertion in parse.test.ts), and the thread is resolved. The .stderr("") assertions follow the established TestBuilder convention (97 existing uses — it's the shell's captured stderr buffer, not process stderr, so ASAN noise doesn't apply). PR description shows fail-before/pass-after under both ASAN-debug and release, plus a clean bunshell.test.ts run (414 tests). The subshell path (parse_compound_cmd → parse_redirect() at :1236) is untouched and still single-shot, but that's a separate construct and out of scope here.
The comment scanner consumed the newline but never emitted the Newline token. The next line's words were appended to the current command. A backslash inside a comment is literal and does not continue the line.
…edirect-mid-command
…OUT comments `2>&1` sets STDOUT with DUPLICATE_OUT and `1>&2` sets STDERR with DUPLICATE_OUT. The comments on the flag and in the builtin redirect setup said the reverse. parse_simple_cmd now reports a second redirection, so the note in parse_redirect that asked for that check is removed. Tests: the fd-dup forms create no file named by the next word and do not overwrite an existing one, `1>&2` and a trailing `2>&1` keep their AST shape, `echo a 2>&1 b > f` reports the multiple-redirect error, and the tail of an interpolated array after `>` stays in argv.

src/shell_parser/parse.rs— pre-existing: a redirection placed before the command name, e.g.> log echo xor< in cat, still fails withexpected a command or assignment but got: "Redirect". The new interleaved loop only starts after a name atom is parsed at src/shell_parser/parse.rs:1336-1348, so a Redirect token in name position never reaches parse_redirect. The PR adopts the POSIX rule that a redirection may appear anywhere among a simple command's words, but leaves this position out. Fix: handle a Redirect token while looking for the command name with the same single-redirect branch, so leading, middle and trailing positions all parse to one Cmd.Why this was flagged
Input: a script such as $
> log echo xor{raw: "< in cat"}(orFOO=1 > log echo x), entering through parse_simple_cmd. After parse_assign returns None,let name = match self.parse_atom()?at parse.rs:1336 gets None because parse_atom returns Ok(None) for Token::Redirect (parse.rs:1665-1674); with assigns empty the function errors at parse.rs:1339-1344 withexpected a command or assignment but got: "Redirect"(ParseError::Expected). The redirect-handling loop at parse.rs:1354-1371 is only reached once a name exists, so the fix's new branch never runs for this position. The base branch fails the same way; bash writes "x" to log. The PR's stated purpose is POSIX placement of redirections anywhere in a simple command, so this is the one position the fix leaves failing exactly as before.Verification: pre-existing. Triggering condition: a simple command whose first word is a redirection. src/shell_parser/parse.rs:1336 gets
None; withassignsempty it hits 1339-1344 and emitsexpected a command or assignment but got: "Redirect". The new interleavedloopat 1354-1371 only runs afternamewas successfully parsed. The base branch fails identically by the same route. -
🟣
src/shell_parser/parse.rs— Users whose argument ends in a digit followed by a redirect operator, e.g.cp a b2>log, get the wrong target after merging: Bun runscp a bwith stderr redirected, bash runscp a b2with stdout to log. The lexer digit branch at src/shell_parser/parse.rs:2742-2749 tries eat_redirect on any digit in Normal state even mid-word, and break_word(AfterText) splits the word before the digit. POSIX only treats the number as an fd when it is a word on its own. Fix: in the digit branch, only attempt eat_redirect when the digit starts a word (word_start == j and the previous token is a delimiter), sob2>log,file2>&1and${x}2>&1keep the digit in the argument; cover both fd-dup and plain forms in the parse tests.Why this was flagged
Trigger: any word ending in 0, 1 or 2 immediately followed by
>or<with no space, e.g. $cp a b2>logor $echo file2>&1, via parse_simple_cmd/Bun.$. The lexer digit case at src/shell_parser/parse.rs:2742 runs for every unquoted digit, not only at a word start; eat_redirect at parse.rs:3067 accepts2>and returns Some; break_word(AddDelimiter::AfterText) at parse.rs:2748 pushes Text(b) plus Delimit, then Token::Redirect. Token stream: Text(cp) Delimit Text(a) Delimit Text(b) Delimit Redirect(2>) Text(log). The new arg loop at parse.rs:1355-1366 happily accepts this ascp a bwith stderr tolog, so the copy lands at pathb, overwriting whatever is there, while bash writes tob2. No error is raised. The base lexes identically, so the dismissal is right that it is pre-existing, but the PR's purpose is correct word boundaries around redirect operators and this sibling site changes which file a user's command writes. Remedy: gate eat_redirect in the digit branch on the digit being its own word (word_start == self.j and last token not word-ish).Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: any word ending in 0/1/2 immediately followed by
>or<. The digit arm at src/shell_parser/parse.rs:2742 checks onlyself.chars.state != CharState::Normal— never whether the digit begins a word. parse_cmd yieldscp a bwith stderr redirected tolog, whereas bash runscp a b2with stdout tolog. No test in test/js/bun/shell pins the mid-word digit case.
…edirect-mid-command
A statement holds one expression. After it, parse_stmt requires `;`, a newline, the end of the script, or the token that closes the subshell. Before, leftover tokens started a second command in the same statement: `(echo a) echo b` ran both, and so did the arguments that `bun run` appends to a script that ends in `)` or `fi`. A newline is allowed after `&&`, `||` and `|`, as in POSIX. The comment change needs this: `a && # note` now ends in a Newline token. parse_simple_cmd stops after a redirection when the command ends there, so a trailing redirection costs no extra parse_atom() call. parse_atom returns the word it collected when an operator follows with no delimiter in between. parse_redirect returns no file operand when DUPLICATE_OUT is set, so a command never has both. Delete the interpreter branches for that pair in init_subproc_redirections and set_stdio_from_redirect. Tests: the condexpr `-n fail` case had no separator between its assignment and `[[`. bash reports `[[: command not found` for it. It now has the `;` that the cases beside it have.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the runtime simplification in src/runtime/shell/states/Cmd.rs (dropped duplicate_out() clauses at :755/:758 and the set_stdio_from_redirect rewrite): with parse_redirect now returning redirect_file: None for every fd-dup (src/shell_parser/parse.rs:1420), those branches were only reachable with a file target that the parser can no longer produce, and the None paths at Cmd.rs:704 and Builtin.rs:783 still handle 2>&1/1>&2. The return Ok(None) -> break change in parse_atom (parse.rs:1699) only differs when word pieces precede a Redirect/[[ token with no Delimit, where it now keeps the pieces instead of silently dropping them (e.g. echo "a"2>&1 b).
Extended reasoning...
The push since the last review folds in the statement-separator rewrite, the comment/newline lexer change, and the runtime cleanup that an earlier inline comment asked for. The two refactors named above were traced against the new parser invariant and found behavior-preserving; the remaining concerns are the posted inline findings, chiefly the backtick-substitution regression from the comment-newline token.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

…tick substitution after a separator `[[` and `]]` are reserved words only where a command starts. After the command name they are arguments: `echo a [[ -n b ]]` prints all five words, as in bash. Before, the words after `[[` were dropped and the condition was evaluated. The closing backtick of a command substitution pushed a word delimiter after `;` and after a newline. The parser read that delimiter as the start of another statement and reported `expected a command or assignment but got: "CmdSubstEnd"`. The `)` of `$( )` already skipped it. Both closers now share one rule. The comment change needs this: a comment before the closing backtick now ends in a Newline token. The error for a second redirection drops its second sentence.

…edirect-mid-command
…substitution after ) or ]] The arm that turned `[[` and `]]` into words after the command name is removed. The lexer emits those tokens in the middle of a word too, so `grep [[:space:]] f` became three arguments, and `[[` at the end of input printed `]]`. `echo a [[ -n b ]]` is a parse error again, as in the statement rule. Words for brackets need the lexer to know where a word starts. A command substitution that ends in `)` or `]]` has no word pending, so its closer pushes no delimiter: `echo $( (echo a) )` prints `a`. Before, the parser read that delimiter as another statement.
|
Two notes on the last CodeRabbit review. Bracket words. 0a62d06 made
|
On main `cmd 2>&1 ${buf}` sent both streams to the object, with the
same bytes in the object as `cmd &> ${buf}`. An fd duplication takes
no target now, so the object was left over and the statement rule
reported `... but got: JSObjRef`. parse_redirect reports the case
itself and names `&>`.
…edirect-mid-command
This change is the word loop again: words after a redirection stay in the command, an fd duplication takes no target, and a second redirection is an error. The rule that a statement holds one command turns every place where the lexer emits no line end into a parse error. A comment did that, and so does a CRLF line that ends in `)` or `]]`: main runs such a script and prints one `command not found` line, the rule stopped the whole script. The rule belongs on top of the lexer change that ends comment, CRLF and tab lines with a Newline token (#29670). So this commit removes from this branch: the rule in parse_stmt, the comment change merged from #41468, the newline after `&&`, `||` and `|`, the shared closer of command substitutions, and their tests. Tests: an interpolated array after `>` only asserts that its tail does not run, so the case holds when #45780 makes that input an ambiguous redirect. A quoted word that touches an fd duplication has a case.

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 the set_stdio_from_redirect simplification in src/runtime/shell/states/Cmd.rs — its only caller is the Redirect::Atom arm, which the parser now never reaches with DUPLICATE_OUT, so the deleted branch was dead and the fd-dup spawn path still goes through the Dup2 branch unchanged. The at_command_end skip only fires on tokens for which parse_atom returns None anyway, so it cannot drop a word.
Note for whoever merges: after bd91e398 the PR description still describes the statement-separator rule ((a) b / fi b parse errors, the &&-newline change, the backtick/comment closers), none of which are in this diff anymore.
Extended reasoning...
The diff is now limited to the shell parser accepting a redirection among a simple command's words, fd-dup redirects taking no file operand, and the matching dead-branch removals in Cmd.rs and Builtin.rs, plus parse and file-io tests. It touches user-input parsing in Bun Shell (which previously let trailing words run as a second command), with no auth or crypto surface. Two inline findings are posted, so a human look is already signaled; this note records the extra paths checked and the description/code mismatch introduced by the latest commit.

After a redirection it stops at once when the command ends there (;, newline, end,|,&&,||,&, or the closing token of a subshell).cmd a > fmakes fourparse_atom()calls on main and four here. The first version of this PR made five, and each call starts withArenaVec::with_capacity_in(1, ..). These are counts from the code. Instruction counts and byte sizes from release builds are not done: the build host could not finish a build.Deleted code.

echo "a"2>err bdropped the worda: the lexer emits no delimiter between a closing quote and an fd-digit redirection, andparse_atomreturnedNonewith the word already collected.parse_atomnow returns the word. bash reads"a"2as one word: that is the fd-digit rule of the lexer (#12602), not changed here.The statement rule (follow-up). A design review picked a wider fix:
parse_stmtparses one expression and then requires;, a newline or the end, so leftover tokens can never start a second command. It stops(a) b,[[ x ]] b,fi b, and the arguments thatbun run --shell=bunappends to a script that ends in). It was built on this branch (commits d6d51b5 to 7865c7d, still in the branch history, with tests). It is not in this PR because it turns every place where the lexer emits no line end into a parse error. On main(echo a)+ CRLF +echo bprintsa,band onecommand not foundline for the\r. With the rule the script does not run. #29670 makes comment, CRLF and tab line ends aNewlinetoken and allows a newline after&&,||and|. The rule belongs on top of it, with the closer of command substitutions from #38479.Existing inputs that change. Every
