Draft. This PR waits for #44833, which has the same fix for the bug in the title. The status comment has the open points, and one of them is a regression in this branch.

Problem

• In a concurrent group (--concurrent, test.concurrent), a test that fails through done(err) prints (pass). The error prints under # Unhandled error between tests and JUnit has failures="0". node:test reports a test's throw, rejection or failed plan this way. With retry, the exit code is 0.
• Cause: bun_test_done_callback (src/runtime/test_runner/bun_test.rs) reports through VirtualMachine::uncaught_exception, which asks which entry runs now. A concurrent group has no single entry.

Fix

• DoneCallback records its entry at creation. done(err) reports with it, like a throw from that callback. A hook's done(err) fails the hook.
• The completion key gets an attempt counter and a file generation. A stale done(err) prints between tests. A late error of an attempt that failed and was retried is dropped: the retry reported that failure.
• Shared parts use bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833's text. Supersedes bun test: ignore completions from an earlier attempt of a retried test #38876.
• Verified: test/js/bun/test/test-error-code-done-callback.test.ts and 4 more files (34 tests fail on main), the vendored test-runner-*.js files, the runner suites. Self-reviewed: 13 concerns raised, 11 addressed (Notes).

Background

• A key (RefDataValue) names one call of a test body or hook. The runner drops a completion with a stale key.
• on_uncaught_exception(err, key) fails the entry the key names.
• Considered a node:test-only change: bun:test's done(err) stays wrong.

Downsides

• Memory: +32 B per callback that takes done (DoneCallback cell: 48 B to 80 B), +16 B per test (ExecutionSequence: 64 B to 80 B, the attempt counter and the bitset of retried attempts).
• Behavior: a hook's done(err) ends the hook's cleanup chain, like a throw. retry, test.failing and --todo now see the failure: some runs go from exit 1 to 0.
• Still wrong: an async callback that takes done ends when its promise fulfills. A later done(err) prints between tests (bun test: wait for done() when the callback also returns a fulfilled promise #41613).

Notes

Two decisions for a maintainer

1. Hooks. A hook's done(err) fails the hook here, as a throw from the same hook does. bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833's on_done_error charges a running test body only and leaves a hook's done(err) on the unhandled-error path. Node v26.3.0, Jest, Mocha and Jasmine fail the hook, and node:test's suite-level before() / after() report through a beforeAll / afterAll done callback. The change is the last commit and has its own tests. Drop that commit to keep hooks as they are on main.
2. A late rejection or done(err) from an earlier attempt. With the attempt counter, a promise of a timed-out attempt that rejects while the retry runs is no longer charged to the retry. Review found that as an unhandled error it makes the exit code 1 when the retry passes, so retry could no longer absorb a flaky timeout. ExecutionSequence.retried_attempts records the attempts that failed and were retried, and Execution::is_retried_attempt drops a late error of those, as bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 does (its timed_out flag ignores the rejection). A passed attempt is not recorded: an async callback that takes done passes when its promise fulfills, so the late done(err) of a passed repeats attempt still prints between tests (exit 1, as on main). The test "and not the retry of a timed-out attempt whose done(err) or rejection arrives late" pins exit 0.

Relation to #44833

The parts that #44833 also has are its text, so that its next merge of main picks them up: ExecutionSequence.attempt / EntryData.attempt, DoneCallback.entry, create_unbound(global, entry), on_done_error, node_test_mark_result. Execution.on_stack_entry_data had no reader after this change and is removed, with its save and restore around every callback. #44833 and #29238 read it and take a conflict there.

A trial merge of this branch into #44833 (3eda2ca) conflicts in two places of the runner sources:

• Execution::reset_sequence: both sides write the attempt bump. Take bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833's side.
• the body of on_done_error: decision 1, and the rule for a stale done(err).

Two EntryData { .. } literals that only #44833 has need the new file_generation field, and both sides append tests to test-error-code-done-callback.test.ts.

What this PR has and #44833 does not:

• done(err) before a still-pending promise ends the entry. On bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 (0b67c41) a serial done(err) followed by a promise that never settles waits for the timeout and prints this test timed out after 300ms, before its done callback was called. Main ends it at once.
• A failed file skips the event-loop drain of BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1. On bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 a failed node:test file that left a handle open never exits in that mode. Main exits 1.
• The file generation in the key.
• A stale done(err) prints between tests and fails nothing.
• Hooks (decision 1).

Commits

1. The attempt counter in the completion key: what bun test: ignore completions from an earlier attempt of a retried test #38876 does, in bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833's spelling, with three of bun test: ignore completions from an earlier attempt of a retried test #38876's four tests (not the late rejection, decision 2) and a retry + done(err) test.
2. DoneCallback.entry and on_done_error in bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833's text, done(err) before a pending promise, and the drain rule.
3. The file generation in the key, and a stale done(err) between tests.
4. Hooks.

Behavior changes

• A test body's done(err) in a concurrent group fails that test. A test.failing test passes on it and a --todo body counts as todo, so bun test --todo --concurrent on a node:test file with todo bodies goes from exit 1 to exit 0 (Node: exit 0).
• A hook's done(err) fails the hook, serially too. The body after a failed beforeEach / beforeAll does not run, and the hooks after a failed one in the same chain do not run (afterEach, onTestFinished, same-scope afterAll), as after a throw. failure-skip.test.ts now runs its 11 cases with a throw and with done(err) against the same snapshots. With retry, a hook that fails once and then passes no longer leaves an unhandled error: exit 1 becomes exit 0.
• The next test starts one tick after done(err), as after done(). Two stack frames of the previous test's done(err) leave the snapshot in test-error-code-done-callback.test.ts.
• done(err) is no longer an unhandled error of the VM. The event loop keeps running for the rest of the file: on main, after the first failed node:test test, an unref'd setImmediate of a later test never ran and that test timed out (fixture 31, last test). Bun.ModuleGraph({ onError }) no longer receives a done(err) called inside graph.run(). On main the test passed with exit 0.
• BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1: a file that failed skips on_before_exit(), the drain and beforeExit. For a failed node:test file this is what main did (through the unhandled-error counter). For a bun:test file whose test throws it is new: on main it drained, and never exited when the test left a handle open.
• done(err) before the callback returned a still-pending promise ends the entry without the promise, for tests and hooks, serial and concurrent. Main did this for a serial test body only. A done(err) after the callback returned already ended the entry on main.
• A done(err) whose entry is over (the test timed out, threw, or is in an earlier file) prints between tests. Serially main failed the test that ran at that moment. No JUnit <failure> is written for it. bun test --reporter=junit: record a failure that is not a finished test #44435 and bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 add a JUnit record for unhandled errors. While the next file collects its tests, it prints between tests as well: on_uncaught_exception checks the key's file generation before the phase, so it does not fail the scope under collection (on main it did).
• retry and repeats: a completion from an earlier attempt is ignored. toMatchSnapshot() on an expect() object that an earlier attempt created now fails with Snapshot matchers are not supported in concurrent tests. Main accepted it. Inline snapshots are not affected.
• In a node:test run() child, a test under a failed suite-level before() emits no event. It emitted a false test:pass.

What is left

• An uncaught error from a timer, nextTick, queueMicrotask or a floating rejection of a test in a concurrent group still prints (pass) with an error between tests. done is the only failure report that is a handle the runner issues, so that case needs a different mechanism. It is not part of this PR.
• An async callback that takes done ends when its promise fulfills (bun test: wait for done() when the callback also returns a fulfilled promise #41613). A later done(err) is stale.
• Under --concurrent, a failing beforeAll (now also a node:test suite before()) skips the tests of the next concurrent describe (bun test: keep a failing beforeAll from skipping concurrent tests outside its describe #39199).
• done(0) and done("") count as errors (bun:test: done(arg) fails the test only when the argument is truthy #44986).

Self-review

13 concerns were raised on the previous shape of this change. Addressed:

• done(err) before a pending promise is queued, not returned, so a callback that is past its timeout is not reported as a timeout. Its scope is stated above and hooks have a test.
• The hook cleanup chain and the exit-code changes are stated above and have tests.
• Hooks that a test registers and hooks of a preload file have a test.
• The process lifetime: the drain rule, and the event loop after a failure.
• done(err) during a toThrow() wait and done(err) inside Bun.ModuleGraph have tests.
• The test helper's regex accepts a result line without a duration.
• The run() child event is listed above. It has no test.
• The reorder of called and r#ref before the print is gone with bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833's text.

Not folded: #41613. It makes a done-taking callback that returns a fulfilled promise and never calls done time out, which needs its own decision. No JSDoc change is owed.

On a main debug build 34 of the 111 fail (16, 4, 6, 2, 6).
• Node v26.3.0 on fixtures/31-failure-kinds.js: pass 2, fail 4.

The 3 fail on a main build in the same container too: two "nested too deeply to print" cases of test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts and "each worker has a unique JEST_WORKER_ID" of parallel.test.ts.
• The 25 vendored test/js/node/test/parallel/test-runner-* files in drain mode: 24 pass. test-runner-mock-timers-scheduler.js asserts a wall-clock bound of 100 ms, which the debug build misses on main too (4 of 5 runs).

root cause · written by the author bot

The test runner attributed done(err) errors using the shared on-stack entry data at call time, which misattributed failures when the callback fired from a concurrent group, a hook, or after a retry, since the currently executing entry was not necessarily the one that created the callback. The fix stamps each DoneCallback at creation with a weak reference to its owning BunTest and the RefDataValue its entry was invoked with, so bun_test_done_callback and node:test result marking route errors to the correct sequence regardless of what is on the stack when the callback runs. If the o…

Walkthrough

The test runner now tracks callback file generations and execution attempts, attributes done(err) to the associated test or hook, and skips event-loop draining when failures or unhandled errors increase. Regression tests cover callbacks, retries, hooks, concurrent execution, and reporter output.

Changes

Test runner failures

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Callback identity and attempt tracking src/runtime/test_runner/DoneCallback.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/bun_test.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/jest.rs	Done callbacks store their entry context. Queued execution data includes file generation and attempt, and validation rejects stale callback data. Result marking uses the callback entry.
Done-callback errors and failed-file exit handling src/runtime/test_runner/bun_test.rs, src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs	The first done(err) call records an error and routes it through the active test or VM. When failures or unhandled errors increase, event-loop draining is skipped.
Bun callback and retry regressions test/js/bun/test/failure-skip.*, test/js/bun/test/test-error-code-done-callback.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/test-retry-repeats-basic.test.ts	Tests exercise throw and done failure modes, callback error attribution, hooks, retries, late callbacks, pending promises, and file boundaries.
Node test-runner and reporter regressions test/js/node/test_runner/fixtures/30-failing-suite-hooks.js, test/js/node/test_runner/fixtures/31-failure-kinds.js, test/js/node/test_runner/fixtures/32-failure-leaves-handle.js, test/js/node/test_runner/node-test.test.ts, test/js/junit-reporter/junit.test.js	Tests cover failure kinds, failing hooks, open handles after failures, serial and concurrent runs, todo cases, and JUnit failure output.

Possibly related issues

• oven-sh/bun#34859 — The changes route callback errors through the active test or VM, but broader unhandled-rejection cases remain outside scope.

Suggested reviewers: dylan-conway, jarred-sumner, cirospaciari

Priority: High

Merge Risk: Low · up to 911cb

The change improves callback failure attribution, but narrow correctness gaps remain: passing repeats can hide late errors, concurrent JUnit failures can lose details, and stale assertions can affect retries. Merge with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for these cases.

Status: draft. This PR waits for #44833.

• bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 has the same owner stamp for done(err) (DoneCallback.entry, on_done_error). Since 164fbac it also ends a test whose callback returned a pending promise, and it keeps the VM's count of unhandled errors. So the bug in the title is fixed in that branch, and the regression below is not in it.
• This PR still has a regression under BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1: a done(err) no longer skips the drain of the event loop, so some runs never exit where main exits. The repro and the fix are in bun test: fail the test or hook whose done() received an error #39112 (comment).
• This PR conflicts with main since Remove 128 unsafe blocks from the test runner and the CLI #47382 (Execution.rs, jest.rs).
• Three rules of this PR are not in bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833, and each one needs a maintainer's decision: a hook's done(err) fails the hook, a done(err) whose entry is over prints between tests and fails nothing, and a late error of an attempt that retry ran again is dropped. After bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 lands, each one can come back as a small PR on top of it.
• The branch robobun/7d2f8b0e/done-err-owner-stamp has tests for the shared part that bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 does not have (JUnit records, a node:test file under --concurrent, --todo --concurrent, done(err) during a toThrow() wait).

Reproduction of the bug in the title: a node:test file with a test that throws, a failed assertion, a rejected promise and an unmet t.plan() (test/js/node/test_runner/fixtures/31-failure-kinds.js). On main, bun test --concurrent prints (pass) for each of the four, and JUnit has no <failure> for them.

1. test runner: fail dependent tests when a hook's done() receives an error #33089 - Same fix in the same code: reroutes done(err) out of the generic vm.uncaught_exception path into BunTest::on_uncaught_exception keyed by the callback's RefDataValue in bun_test_done_callback/DoneCallback.rs, though it leaves the concurrent and node:test cases unfixed.

[robobun]

Not a duplicate of #33089, though the two overlap. #33089 was opened for done(err) in hooks; this PR is for the concurrent-group case (the bug it fixes is that it.concurrent / --concurrent / node:test failures reported through done(err) are printed as passing). Both route done(err) through on_uncaught_exception, but #33089 falls back to get_current_state_data() whenever done fires before the completion ref exists (synchronously, from the microtask drain, or after the body threw), and that fallback cannot name a sequence inside a concurrent group, so the cases this PR is about are still broken on that branch. This PR stamps the owner on the DoneCallback at creation instead, which covers the hook cases from #33089 as well (tested here with beforeEach / afterEach), the concurrent cases, and stale done(err) calls. I left a note on #33089; if it lands first this rebases to the remaining delta.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The fix is well-reasoned — stamping the RefDataValue on the DoneCallback at creation and routing done(err) through on_uncaught_exception with that key mirrors exactly how a throw/rejection from the same callback is already attributed. Because it changes pass/fail attribution in the test runner (serial hooks, concurrent groups, test.failing, JUnit, node:test) and shifts an observable timing edge (next test now starts on the next tick after done(err), hence the two dropped snapshot frames), a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was checked:

• on_stack_entry_data has no remaining references after removal; js_node_test_mark_result now reads the same owner stamp instead.
• New DoneCallback fields (Weak, RefDataValue) drop via the Box in finalize; only r#ref needs the explicit .deref().
• Stale done(err) is rejected by get_current_and_valid_execution_sequence and lands as "Unhandled error between tests" — covered by three explicit test cases.
• The re-entrancy shape of strong.get().on_uncaught_exception(...) matches the existing bun_test_then_or_catch path; no new aliasing hazard.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes done(err) attribution in bun test: previously the error was routed through the generic VirtualMachine::uncaught_exception → get_current_state_data() path, which cannot name a sequence inside a concurrent group and demotes hook errors to RefDataValue::Start. The result was that done(err) in a concurrent test, or in any beforeEach/afterEach, printed as # Unhandled error between tests while the test itself was reported as (pass). The fix stamps the owning RefDataValue (and a Weak<BunTestCell>) on the DoneCallback at creation in run_test_callback, and bun_test_done_callback calls BunTest::on_uncaught_exception keyed by that stamp — the same path a throw or rejection from the callback already takes. js_node_test_mark_result reads the same stamp, which lets Execution.on_stack_entry_data be deleted. Four Rust files change (~60 lines net), plus three test files gaining ~200 lines of coverage.

Security risks

None. This is test-runner-internal error attribution; no untrusted input parsing, no auth/crypto/permissions.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is the test runner's pass/fail attribution logic — a bug here silently misreports test outcomes, which is exactly the failure mode the PR is fixing. It also touches concurrent execution (interleaved sequences, stale-completion rejection) and produces two observable behavior changes: (1) two stack frames disappear from an existing snapshot because the next test now starts on the next tick after done(err) rather than synchronously inside it, and (2) a late done(err) after its test finished is now reported as unhandled-between-tests instead of failing whichever test happens to be running. Both are improvements, but they're the kind of edge a maintainer should sign off on.

Other factors

The test coverage is thorough: one fixture asserted identical across serial / --concurrent / it.concurrent+describe.concurrent, covering sync/microtask/macrotask done(err), it.failing, and beforeEach/afterEach; three stale-done(err) cases; a JUnit test for concurrent done(err); and node:test's failing-hooks fixture under --concurrent. I verified on_stack_entry_data has no remaining references, that the new DoneCallback fields drop correctly via the Box in finalize (only r#ref needs the explicit .deref() because RefPtr has no Drop), and that the strong.get().on_uncaught_exception(...) re-entrancy shape matches the existing bun_test_then_or_catch path. No CODEOWNERS apply. Deferring because pass/fail attribution changes in the runner core warrant a maintainer's eyes even when the mechanism is sound.

[robobun]

Nothing to change from that review. The two behavior edges it points at (the next test starting on the following tick after done(err), and a stale done(err) being reported as an unhandled error instead of failing the test that happens to be running) are intentional and are the ones described in the Fix section; both are pinned by the snapshot update and the three stale-done cases in test-error-code-done-callback.test.ts.

@robobun, your commit d4652f1 is building: #98301

[robobun]

#33089 has been closed in favor of this PR. Its cases were checked against this branch and the ones not already pinned here were added in 1768287: beforeAll / afterAll done(err) in the fixture (so all four hook kinds are covered in the serial and both concurrent runs), and fixtures/30-failing-suite-hooks.js, a node:test file whose suite-level before() / after() throw (node:test reports those through beforeAll / afterAll done callbacks). The PR body is updated accordingly.

One case from the discussion on #33089 is worth carrying once #38876 lands: a late done(err) from a timed-out attempt of a retry test. On this branch alone it still fails the attempt that is running at the time (attempt 3 then runs and the file ends 1 pass, exit 0), because telling attempts of the same sequence apart is what #38876 adds; with both changes the owner stamped here should be rejected as stale like the other late cases.

While adding the beforeAll case: under --concurrent / describe.concurrent, a failing beforeAll also skips the concurrent tests that follow its describe (the next sibling extends the describe's last group, so failure_skip_to covers it). That reproduces with a throwing beforeAll on the release binary, so it is unrelated to this change and is being handled separately; the fixture places the beforeAll case last so the expected output does not depend on it.

[claude]

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it reworks error attribution in the test runner's done-callback path (unsafe raw-pointer state on DoneCallback, removal of on_stack_entry_data, and an intentional behavior change to when the next test starts after done(err)), a human look from someone familiar with the Execution/RefDataValue lifecycle would still be worthwhile.

Checked: the stamped owner: RefDataValue is only passed to on_uncaught_exception after buntest_weak.upgrade() succeeds, and get_current_and_valid_execution_sequence compares the stored entry pointer without dereferencing it, so a stale owner is rejected rather than UAF'd. called is now set via mem::replace before on_uncaught_exception runs user JS, so a re-entrant done() is a no-op (previously it could re-report). The removed on_stack_entry_data had js_node_test_mark_result as its only reader; that now reads the same stamp.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes done(err) attribution in bun test: previously a done(new Error(...)) in a concurrent group, or in any hook even serially, was routed through the generic VirtualMachine::uncaught_exception path and printed as # Unhandled error between tests while the test/hook itself was reported as passing. The fix stamps each DoneCallback at creation with a Weak<BunTest> and the RefDataValue that run_test_callback was invoked with, then bun_test_done_callback calls BunTest::on_uncaught_exception keyed by that value — the same path a throw or promise rejection from the same callback already takes. js_node_test_mark_result (node:test's runtime t.skip()/t.todo()) is rewired to read the same stamp, which lets Execution.on_stack_entry_data be deleted. Four Rust files change (~80 net lines) plus ~250 lines of new tests across four test files.

Security risks

None. This is test-runner-internal error routing; no untrusted input parsing, auth, crypto, or network surface is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. The change is small and the mechanism is clearly the right layer (attribute the error to the entry the done was created for, exactly as throws/rejections already are), but it lives in the test runner's execution core where lifetime, aliasing, and re-entrancy invariants are hand-managed through raw pointers and UnsafeCell. It also carries two intentional behavior changes: the next test starts on the next tick after done(err) (matching done() without an error; two stack-frame lines drop from an existing snapshot as a result), and a stale done(err) — one whose entry has already completed — is now reported as an unhandled error rather than being pinned on whichever test happens to be running. Both are pinned by tests and match how late promise rejections are already handled, but a maintainer should confirm they agree with the semantics.

Other factors

• Test coverage is thorough: one fixture asserts identical per-test results serially, under --concurrent, and with it.concurrent/describe.concurrent across sync/microtask/macrotask done(err), done(), it.failing, and all four hook kinds; three stale-done(err) cases pin the "don't blame the running test" behavior; JUnit and node:test (--concurrent and suite-level before()/after()) get their own tests. All are stated to fail on the release build and pass on the debug build.
• Memory/aliasing: I verified the new fields don't introduce a UAF — owner is only consumed after Weak::upgrade succeeds (arena entries alive), and the validator compares the raw entry pointer without dereferencing it. called = true is now set before on_uncaught_exception can re-enter JS, closing a (pre-existing) window where a re-entrant done() could double-report. The strong.get().on_uncaught_exception(...) pattern matches what bun_test_then_or_catch already does.
• Dead-code removal: on_stack_entry_data was added specifically for the case this PR now covers via the stamp; its only reader is rewired here and the field/cell/scopeguard are removed together.
• Open edge: the author notes a late done(err) from a timed-out attempt of a retry test still lands on the current attempt because attempts of the same sequence aren't yet distinguishable; that depends on #38876 and is out of scope here.
• The comment-cop bot's long-comment flags have been addressed in the latest commits.

[robobun]

Nothing to change from this second review either. It covers the same two behavior edges as the first (next test starts on the following tick after done(err), stale done(err) reported as an unhandled error), both intentional and pinned by tests. The retry/timeout attempt edge it mentions is out of scope here and waits on #38876, as noted in the PR body.

[claude]

The clippy clone_on_copy issue from the previous pass is fixed in 3ec364e; this run found no bugs. Given the scope — error attribution across concurrent groups, all four hook kinds, and node:test, plus the acknowledged retry-attempt edge that waits on #38876 — a maintainer look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• done(err) now routes through on_uncaught_exception keyed by the owner stamped at DoneCallback creation, matching the throw/reject path; the completion path (r#ref / add_result / run_next_tick) is unchanged.
• on_stack_entry_data is fully removed (no remaining references); js_node_test_mark_result reads the same stamp.
• buntest_weak: Weak and owner: RefDataValue (Copy) drop with the DoneCallback box in finalize — no new refcount to balance.
• Stale done(err) after the entry finished is rejected by get_current_and_valid_execution_sequence and reported as an unhandled error, pinned by the three late-done test cases.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR fixes error attribution for done(err): instead of routing through the generic VirtualMachine::uncaught_exception (which attributes via get_current_state_data() — unable to name a sequence in a concurrent group, and demoted to Start for hooks), the DoneCallback now records at creation the file (Weak) and the RefDataValue that run_test_callback was invoked with, and done(err) calls BunTest::on_uncaught_exception keyed by that value. This is the same attribution path a throw or rejection from the same callback already uses. Net native change is small (~-20 LOC after removing the on_stack_entry_data workaround it supersedes); ~250 lines of new tests cover serial, --concurrent, .concurrent, all four hook kinds, test.failing, JUnit, node:test failures under --concurrent, node:test suite-level before()/after(), and three stale-done(err) cases.

Security risks

None. This is test-runner error-attribution plumbing; no untrusted input parsing, no auth/crypto, no network.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The test runner is a critical path and this changes attribution across concurrent execution, hooks, and node:test integration. Two intentional behavior edges (next test starts on the following tick after done(err); a stale done(err) is now reported as an unhandled error rather than failing whichever test happens to be running) are explained in the PR body and pinned by tests. The retry-attempt edge (a late done(err) from a timed-out attempt still charged to the running attempt) is out of scope pending #38876, which adds a per-attempt generation to the same validity check.

Other factors

• My previous inline finding (clone_on_copy on the now-Copy RefDataValue) is fixed at both sites in 3ec364e; jest.rs already used the copy form.
• Verified on_stack_entry_data has no remaining references anywhere in src/, and DoneCallback::create_unbound has exactly one caller (run_test_callback), which passes cfg_data — the same value the promise then/catch and completion ref use.
• Memory: the new buntest_weak (a Weak<BunTestCell>) and owner (a Copy enum of non-owning pointers) drop automatically when DoneCallback::finalize drops the Box<Self>; no explicit release needed and no new intrusive refcount is introduced.
• All comment-cop threads and my prior thread are resolved; #33089 was closed in favor of this PR and its cases are carried here.
• Test coverage is thorough and follows harness conventions (tempDir, bunEnv, concurrent pipe drain, test.concurrent.each for the matrix, exit-code asserted last). The PR body's evidence shows the new tests fail on main and pass with the fix on both ASAN debug and release.

[robobun]

Nothing to change from this pass. It confirms the clippy fix in 3ec364e and reports no bugs. The PR is ready for a maintainer review.

[claude]

I re-reviewed after the clone_on_copy fix in f787346 and found no bugs. Because this reworks how the test runner attributes done(err) across concurrent groups, hooks, and retries — with stated interactions with #38876 and user-visible behavior edges (stale done(err) now unhandled; next-tick start after done(err)) — a maintainer look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

• The owner/buntest_weak stamp on DoneCallback and its use in bun_test_done_callback / js_node_test_mark_result — the Weak upgrade correctly falls back to vm.uncaught_exception when the file is gone.
• on_stack_entry_data removal — grepped, no remaining references; its sole consumer now reads the stamp.
• Confirmed both .clone() sites on the now-Copy RefDataValue are dropped (bun_test.rs:822, :1137).

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR stamps each DoneCallback at creation with a Weak<BunTestCell> and the RefDataValue its entry was invoked with, so done(err) (and node:test's runtime t.skip()/t.todo()) can be attributed to the correct sequence even inside a concurrent group or from a hook. It removes Execution.on_stack_entry_data (whose only consumer, js_node_test_mark_result, now reads the stamp instead), rewrites bun_test_done_callback to route the error through BunTest::on_uncaught_exception keyed by the stamped owner, and updates the existing snapshot in test-error-code-done-callback.test.ts to reflect that the next test now starts on the following tick after done(err). Test coverage is thorough: a single fixture asserted identical per-test results across serial / --concurrent / it.concurrent / describe.concurrent; all four hook kinds; it.failing; three stale-done(err) cases; a JUnit test for concurrent-group attribution; and two node:test cases (failing hooks under --concurrent, failing suite-level before()/after()).

Security risks

None. The change is confined to test-runner result attribution and reporting; no parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto/permissions surface.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate-to-high. The Rust changes are small (~60 net lines in src/) but sit in the test runner's completion/attribution state machine, which is dense with raw-pointer aliasing rules (UnsafeCell, NonNull into arena-owned entries) and re-entrancy hazards. The behavior changes are intentional and pinned by tests, but they interact with retry generations (#38876) and touch how a late done(err) is charged — the kind of edge a maintainer familiar with the runner should sign off on.

Other factors

• My prior inline finding (workspace-denied clippy::clone_on_copy on the now-Copy RefDataValue) is resolved in f787346; both call sites now copy by value, matching jest.rs:557.
• The on_stack_entry_data field and its scopeguard restore are fully removed; grep confirms no remaining references, so the deletion is complete.
• The Weak upgrade in bun_test_done_callback correctly falls back to the generic vm.uncaught_exception when the file's BunTest is already torn down, and js_node_test_mark_result returns undefined in the same case — no dangling deref.
• The new DoneCallback fields (BunTestPtrWeak, RefDataValue) both have proper Drop semantics (Weak drops itself; RefDataValue is Copy with only non-owning pointers), so the existing finalize needs no change.
• The comment-cop bot's "paragraph-long comment" flags were addressed in 0877317/6a69da4; the remaining comments in the diff are one-liners.

[robobun]

Nothing to change from this pass either. It confirms the earlier findings are resolved and reports no bugs. The PR stays ready for a maintainer.

[robobun]

Review follow-ups, as of 911cba9:

• Retry and a late error from an earlier attempt: fixed. A key that names an earlier attempt of a sequence in the current file is dropped, so a retry that passes exits 0. New test in test-error-code-done-callback.test.ts.
• Stale done(err) during the next file collection: fixed. The file generation is checked before the phase dispatch, so it prints between tests and the scope under collection still runs its tests. New test.
• Dead else branch in test_command.rs and the unread Execution.on_stack_entry_data: both removed.
• failure-skip.test.ts now asserts the exit code for every case, and the retry test counts the error of each attempt.
• JUnit single failure slot for two concurrent done(err) in one tick: pre-existing, the same happens for two concurrent rejections on main. bun test --reporter=junit: record a failure that is not a finished test #44435 adds a per-failure record and is the place for it.
• expect() counter on a stale matcher after a retry reset, and a late done(err) from an exit listener not setting the exit code: both pre-existing on main and not touched here.

I converted this PR to a draft. A self-review of the current head found a regression, and the order against #44833 is not settled.

Regression under BUN_TEST_DRAIN_EVENT_LOOP=1

node:test run() sets this variable for its children. On main, the first done(err) raises unhandled_error_counter, and VirtualMachine::on_before_exit() then skips the drain of the event loop. This PR reports done(err) without that count, and test_command.rs skips the drain only when the file ends with a failure. When the failed code leaves a handle open, these inputs exit on main and never exit here:

Input	main	this PR
Attempt 1 throws after setInterval, --retry 1, attempt 2 passes	exit 0	never exits
A todo body under --todo, or a test.failing test, fails as expected	exit 0	never exits
A test passes by its promise, and its done(err) arrives during the drain	exit 1	never exits
run({ files }) with [test] retry = 1, attempt 1 leaks an http.Server	RUN FINISHED, exit 0	never finishes

Measured with bun 1.4.3 as main, and with debug builds of 9f5a8a4 and of a local rebase. test_command.rs and on_done_error are the same in 69e5603.

The fix that I test now: done(err) keeps the count as on main, and test_command.rs stays as it is on main. The last test of fixtures/31-failure-kinds.js and the bun:test half of the 32-failure-leaves-handle.js test pin the new rule, so they go away with it.

Order against #44833

#44833 has the same DoneCallback.entry and on_done_error. Three rules of this PR differ from that branch:

• a hook's done(err) fails the hook,
• a done(err) whose entry is over prints between tests and fails nothing,
• a late error of an attempt that retry ran again is dropped.

Each one is a decision for a maintainer. The next step is a branch that has only the shared part, and the question of order on #44833.

[robobun]

#48142 is the hook rule of this PR (commit 9e1d119) as a PR of its own on top of #44833, as the status comment here planned. It keeps main's check that the entry still runs. It records the file run in the DoneCallback cell and not in EntryData, so no key and no expect() call pays for it.

#48142 does not have the other two rules of this PR: a done(err) whose entry is over, and a late error of an attempt that retry ran again. They stay here.
