Problem

  • This file took 23s on the windows 11 aarch64 lane (build 101560). Process creation is the cost: 139 fixture processes, a checkout, add, commit and push per branch, a repo per test.
  • 8 assertions were a bare exit code. No test read bun's output or bun.lock.

Fix

Background

  • git's dumb HTTP protocol serves a bare repo as static files. update-server-info writes info/refs, the branch tips the tests read as expected commits.
  • git fast-import writes a stream of commits, file contents inline, to any refs in one process. from <ref>^0 parents a commit on the ref as the repo has it.
  • For a github: dependency bun reads the resolved committish off the tarball's first entry, the <owner>-<repo>-<committish> directory. Bun.Archive writes a key ending in / as that entry.
Notes

Open PRs that touch this file. This PR can land before or after them. What each order costs:

Timings. The old and the new file were run alternately on the same machine.

  • Windows 11 aarch64, 16 vCPUs, debug build (bun bd): old 22.2s, 21.0s, 21.8s. New 11.9s, 11.9s, 11.6s. Same machine, release canary (USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1, what the CI lanes run): old 19.8s, 19.9s, 20.1s, 20.4s. New 10.4s, 10.6s, 11.2s, 11.5s. All runs passed. The 16-branch test alone went from 20.4s to 10.1s and is now the whole wall time of the file. A cold install of it makes bun install spawn about 60 git processes (one bare clone, then clone --no-checkout and checkout per package, and one git log per dependency edge), and the test does two of them on purpose.
  • Linux x64 debug+ASAN, bun bd test: old 4.8s, 5.0s, 5.0s. New 4.0s, 4.0s, 4.1s (the final revision: 4.1s to 4.4s on a busier machine). A test file that only imports the harness takes 2.3s on this build, so the work of the file went from about 2.7s to about 1.7s. CPU time (user+sys, children included): 8.9s to 7.8s.
  • Processes, counted with git and tar shims on PATH. Old: 299. The fixtures spawned 139 of them (10 init, 25 checkout, 23 add, 25 commit, 25 push, 7 update-server-info, 24 tar) and bun install 160 (54 clone, 106 git -C). New: 173 in each of 5 runs. The fixtures spawn 13 (3 init, 5 fast-import, 5 update-server-info) and bun install the same 160. Each git push also forked receive-pack and pack-objects, which the shims do not see. The Linux numbers therefore understate the gain, and the Linux timings understate it more, because process creation is cheap there.

Assertion changes, per test.

  • 16 branches, directly and transitively (2 attempts): stderr inline snapshot ([17] tasks: one clone, 16 checkouts), stdout with the commit each of the 16 branches resolved to, the 16 installed markers as one object, the 16 bun.lock rows including pkg-a's dependencies, exit code. Before: two not.toContain on stderr, the markers, exit code.
  • Tarball URLs and github: (2 attempts each): the same, with [32] and [16] tasks (download and extract per package), bun.lock rows with the integrity of the served bytes (and, for GitHub, the resolved tag scope-pkg-x-0000000), stdout with #0000000 for GitHub, and each tarball downloaded exactly once per attempt although 11 (GitHub: 7) of them are depended on twice.
  • Lockfile on a cold cache: both installs check stdout, stderr (the frozen install prints nothing), the markers and the bun.lock rows, which the frozen install must leave unchanged. Before: the first install checked the markers and the exit code.
  • Hoisted and isolated moved branch: the warm install checks stdout, stderr, markers and bun.lock. After moveBranch the test checks that pkg-m points at a new commit and pkg-n does not. The cold install checks stdout (the locked commits, not the new tip), empty stderr, markers and unchanged bun.lock. Before: not.toContain("error:"), markers, exit code.
  • git+file://: stderr snapshot ([2]), stdout with the commit, marker, bun.lock row, exit code. Before: not.toContain, marker, exit code.

Fixture details.

  • Below 100 objects fast-import writes loose objects (fastimport.unpackLimit), the same layout the old push produced. A pack would work too, because update-server-info lists it in objects/info/packs for dumb HTTP clients.
  • The commits carry a fixed committer date, so the SHAs of a repo depend only on its contents. The tests still read them from info/refs instead of hard-coding them.
  • The old tarballs were tar -czf of a directory, so they also started with the directory entry. The bun.lock integrity is the sha512 of the tarball bytes, which the test computes from the bytes it serves.
  • bun install prints the + lines in name order (a package's dependencies are sorted when its package.json is parsed, src/install/lockfile/Package.rs). expectInstalled sorts its expectations the same way.
  • test/expected-durations.json is not touched. CI regenerates it.
  • Commits: f33a5e5 the rewrite, c0dd54e the sort (review), 635fe1f the helper shapes above (self-review).

…assertions

Build each fixture repo with one git fast-import instead of a checkout,
add, commit and push per branch, build the shared 16-branch repo once in
beforeAll for the tests that only read it, and build the tarball fixtures
in memory with Bun.Archive. The file spawns 13 fixture processes instead
of 139.

Every install now checks bun's stdout line by line (the commit or tarball
each package resolved to), its stderr, the installed markers and the
bun.lock rows as whole objects, and the tarball tests check that each
tarball is downloaded once.

Status: test-only change, ready for review. PR: #39737 (branch farm/25498bc3/speed-up-git-deps-test), 3 commits.

Measured with the old and the new file run alternately on the same machine. Windows 11 aarch64: 21s to 22s before, 11.6s to 11.9s after with a debug build (bun bd test), 19.8s to 20.4s before and 10.4s to 11.5s after with the release canary. Linux debug+ASAN: about 5.0s before, about 4.0s to 4.4s after. Fixture processes: 139 before, 13 after. All runs passed (15 on Linux, 8 on Windows). The numbers, the assertion changes and the checks against the open PRs for this file are in the PR description.

Commits: f33a5e5 is the rewrite. c0dd54e sorts the expected lines (review). 635fe1f, from a self-review, gives the helpers the shapes that #38816, #38681 (in #39403) and #35566 need, so those PRs rebase onto this one without a second rewrite of their fixtures.

alphabetically before mapping them to expected “+ name@resolution” lines, while
preserving the existing count and output assertions.
- Around line 214-219: Update installedVersionOf to compare the installed file’s
complete text directly with the fixture generator output from indexJs, rather
than extracting and JSON-parsing a substring. Preserve the null return when the
file is absent, and make the comparison identify the package/file and expected
versus actual contents when it fails.

already-existing branch: before emitting each commit, detect the branch’s prior
existence and reject that fixture state explicitly, while preserving extend
commits’ existing from refs/heads/&lt;branch&gt;^0 behavior.

LGTM — test-only refactor that speeds up fixture setup and strictly tightens assertions.

What was reviewed:

  • Shared beforeAll fixture is read-only; the two branch-mutating tests correctly build their own repo, so test.concurrent can't race on it.
  • git fast-import stream construction (byte-length data blocks, from refs/heads/<branch>^0 for extend) and info/refs parsing match git's format.
  • Bun.Archive writes the leading ${dir}/ entry as a regular-file header, but the GitHub extractor reads only the first path component of the first entry regardless of type (TarballStream.rs:744-770), so the resolved-tag path is preserved.
  • Every assertion is stronger than before (exact stdout/stderr/bun.lock/download-count vs not.toContain); no existing coverage weakened. afterAll cleans up server + tempdir with ?. guards.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR refactors a single test file, test/cli/install/bun-install-git-deps.test.ts. It replaces per-branch git checkout/add/commit/push fixture creation (~139 subprocesses) with a single git fast-import per repo (~13 subprocesses total), moves the read-only 16-branch repo into a beforeAll shared across three tests, and replaces tar -czf subprocess calls with in-memory Bun.Archive. Every install now asserts exact stdout (per-package resolution lines), stderr (inline snapshot of task counts), installed markers, and bun.lock rows — replacing the previous bare not.toContain("error:") + exit-code checks. No production code is touched.

Security risks

None. Test-only change; no auth, crypto, or user-facing surface. The local Bun.serve fixtures serve only from a per-test temp directory or an in-memory map keyed by regex-matched letter.

Level of scrutiny

Medium — the diff is ~300 lines, but it is test infrastructure with no runtime impact. The scenarios exercised are explicitly unchanged (16 branches, 11 duplicated specs, two cold attempts, both linkers), and the PR description documents 10/10 passing runs on Linux debug+ASAN plus Windows aarch64 timings. The main things worth checking were (a) concurrent-test safety of the shared fixture, (b) that the Bun.Archive-built tarballs still satisfy the GitHub extractor's first-entry contract, and (c) that assertion order (Object.keys insertion order) matches bun install's name-sorted output. All three hold.

Other factors

The change follows repo test guidance closely: tempDir/bunEnv/normalizeBunSnapshot from harness, port: 0, per-test cache dirs, await using for servers, exit-code asserted last, no external network. Assertions are strictly tightened rather than loosened (aligned with the "assert the strongest invariant" rule), and the download-dedup check adds new coverage for the property the tests exist to protect. If any of the new inline snapshots are off they will fail loudly in CI, which is easily revertible. No prior review comments exist on the timeline.

LGTM — test-only refactor that halves the file's wall time and replaces bare exit-code checks with exact stdout/stderr/bun.lock/marker assertions.

What was reviewed:

  • Shared beforeAll fixture with test.concurrent: the three tests reading sharedBare/sharedServer are read-only; the moved-branch tests build their own repo, so no cross-test interference.
  • git fast-import stream construction (commitTo, fastImportData byte-length prefix, from refs/heads/<branch>^0 for extend) — matches git's documented format.
  • Removed per-attempt rm -rf cache-N: each attempt uses a fresh cache path inside a fresh tempDir, so the old removal was a no-op.
  • downloads array mutation from the serve handler is single-threaded; .sort() before comparing to letters handles request ordering.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Single-file change to test/cli/install/bun-install-git-deps.test.ts. The fixture layer is rewritten: makeSharedRepo now writes all branches with one git fast-import instead of a checkout/add/commit/push per branch, tarballs are built in memory with Bun.Archive instead of shelling to tar, and the 16-branch repo is built once in beforeAll and shared read-only across the three tests that don't mutate it. Every install now asserts stdout (per-package resolution lines), stderr (inline snapshot with task count), the installed markers as one object, and the bun.lock packages rows. The tarball tests additionally assert each tarball is downloaded exactly once. Test scenarios (16 branches, 11 duplicated specs, two cold attempts, both linkers) are unchanged. No production code is touched.

Security risks

None. Test-only; no auth, crypto, or permissions code. The fixtures are local (port: 0 servers, bare repos in tempDir, git+file:// to a local path).

Level of scrutiny

Medium — it's a ~400-line test refactor, not a config tweak, but the blast radius is one test file. The author verified 10/10 passes on Linux debug+ASAN and on Windows 11 aarch64 (debug and release), with measured before/after timings. All three CodeRabbit nits are resolved (one applied in c0dd54e, two declined with sound reasoning — git already rejects the invalid state, and installedVersionOf is unchanged from the old file).

Other factors

I traced the shared-fixture concurrency: sharedBare/sharedServer are only read (dumb-HTTP static file serving and git clone); the moved-branch tests call makeSharedRepo on their own tempDir. Each test uses its own project dir and cache dir, so test.concurrent is safe. The git+file:// test now points at sharedBare and depends only on pkg-b, which has no transitive dependencies, so the [2] task count and single lock row are correct. toMatchInlineSnapshot inside the two-attempt loop compares against an already-populated literal both times, which is fine when both attempts produce identical output. The PR description notes that open PR #35566 will need to switch from the removed work tree to moveBranch/commitTo on rebase — that's disclosed and expected for a fixture refactor. No CODEOWNERS entry covers this path.

…pen PRs use

BranchPackage gets the optional name and files fields and makeSharedRepo
the repoName parameter that #38816 and #38681 add (both are in #39403).
Commit names its ref in full and takes an explicit parent, so a commit
can land on a tag or start a branch from another one, which is what the
cases in #35566 need. The tarball builder is split so that the GitHub
shaped part has the signature of the githubTarball helper in #39115.

LGTM — test-only refactor that speeds up fixture setup and strictly tightens assertions.

What was reviewed:

  • Fixture correctness: git fast-import stream (byte-length data prefix, from ref^0, fixed committer date), Bun.Archive with compress: "gzip" and trailing-/ directory entry, Bun.JSONC.parse — all match documented/existing usage.
  • Shared beforeAll fixture is read-only for the concurrent tests that use it; the two mutating tests build their own repo; afterAll guards with ?..
  • Every assertion is stronger than before (full stdout/stderr/bun.lock/download-count vs. old not.toContain + exit code); no coverage weakened.
  • All three review threads resolved (sort applied in c0dd54e; two withdrawn).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR rewrites test/cli/install/bun-install-git-deps.test.ts to (1) build fixture repos via a single git fast-import instead of ~139 individual checkout/add/commit/push processes, (2) build tarballs in memory with Bun.Archive instead of shelling out to tar, (3) hoist a read-only 16-branch repo + static server into beforeAll for the three tests that only read it, and (4) replace bare not.toContain("error:") + exit-code checks with full assertions on stdout (+ name@resolution lines), stderr (inline snapshot), installed markers, bun.lock rows, and per-tarball download counts. Measured: 22s→12s Windows debug, 20s→11s Windows release, 5.0s→4.0s Linux ASAN; 139→13 fixture processes. Verified 10/10 Linux + 8 Windows runs.

Security risks

None. Test-only change; no production code, auth, or crypto touched. All servers are local Bun.serve({ port: 0 }); no external network.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-low. It's a test refactor, but a substantial one (~400 lines net) touching regression coverage for five install-race issues (#35420, #10915, #8501, #11348, #28284). The key question is whether coverage was preserved — it was, and every assertion is now strictly stronger: exact stderr snapshots, exact stdout resolution lines (sorted, per c0dd54e), full bun.lock package rows including integrity hashes, and download-dedup counts that directly test the behavior the tests exist for. The scenarios (16 branches, 11 duplicated specs, two cold attempts, both linkers, moved-branch) are unchanged.

Other factors

  • The shared fixture is safe under test.concurrent: it's a stateless static-file server over a read-only bare repo; the two tests that mutate a repo (moveBranch) build their own. afterAll uses ?. to handle partial beforeAll failure.
  • The fast-import stream is correct: data <byteLength> uses Buffer.byteLength, committer date is fixed at 0 +0000 for deterministic SHAs (though tests still read them from info/refs), and from ref^0 correctly resolves against the repo per git docs.
  • Bun.Archive({ compress: "gzip" }).bytes() and Bun.JSONC.parse are documented APIs used elsewhere in test/; .bytes() is async and correctly awaited.
  • All three CodeRabbit threads are resolved: the expectInstalled sort landed in c0dd54e; the commitTo guard and installedVersionOf parsing suggestions were withdrawn with sound reasoning (git already rejects the invalid state; the helper is unchanged and callers get a keyed diff).
  • Commit 635fe1f keeps helper signatures compatible with three open PRs (#38816, #35566, #38681) that add cases to this file.
