Problem

• test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts took 15.6 s on the debian 13 x64-asan lane (build #108487). It ran 175 bun test children one after another, most of them in one shared temp dir.
• The child runs were checked loosely: the exit code, not.toInclude("error:"), and .snap contents that only went into the outer .snap file.

Fix

• Every spawning test gets its own temp dir and runs under describe.concurrent. The chained .snap cases start from the previous case's snapshot, so each still fails against a near-identical stored value.
• Every child run pins its runner summary and exit code with an inline snapshot, and the exact .snap file or updated test file with toBe. The 12 error cases pin the whole stderr.
• Locally (debug ASAN build, 16 cores): 50.1 s before, 12.5 to 13.5 s after over six green runs. Same 63 tests (62 pass, 1 pre-existing skip).
• Verified: bun bd test test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts, with colors off and with FORCE_COLOR=1 as in CI, and with the release build.

Background

• bun test prints only its version banner to stdout. The report goes to stderr: one (pass) name line per test, the counts, a snapshots: line, and Ran N tests across N files..
• toMatchSnapshot does not work inside concurrent tests (the runner cannot name the current test). The outer .snap entries that held child .snap contents became inline snapshots and toBe expectations, and left the .snap file with 5 obsolete entries.
• An ASAN build defaults --max-concurrency to 5.

Notes

• The old inline snapshot variant never checked the updated source; it now compares the whole updated test file.
• A run with CI=true on the parent (children keep CI=false) also passes, so no outer snapshot is added silently.
• Timings are the runner's own Ran 63 tests across 1 file. [...] figure. Before: 50.12 s (one run). After: 12.56 s, 12.66 s, 12.77 s, 13.28 s, 13.51 s with the debug binary, and 12.51 s, 12.72 s, 12.84 s through bun bd test. Sampled at 50 ms, the run had 5 children alive for most of its length and 10 at the peak, with a peak of about 2.4 GB RSS in total.
• The pinned summary is the result line of each test plus the final count lines. The per-failure diffs are left out, since the same table case runs under both .snap and inline mode and the diffs differ per case.
• The two snapshotCases loops are test.each tables. Each row of the .snap table carries the previous case's snapshot.
• Per-test temp dirs instead of one shared dir in beforeAll: the child file names appear in the pinned stderr (./_0.test.ts), and a shared counter would make them depend on the order in which concurrent tests start.
• The -u run of an inline snapshot that changed reports 1 snapshots, 1 expect() calls, while the same run over a .snap entry reports snapshots: +1 added. The inline snapshots record this difference as it is today.
• snapshots: 149 passed, 1 failed in the parent's own summary is the test indented inline snapshots, which asserts that a misindented inline snapshot throws. That was already the case.
• The error snapshots test used to fail whenever colors were off (CI sets FORCE_COLOR=1, a piped local run does not). It now strips ANSI codes from the nested matcher error before the snapshot, the same change as test: make the error snapshots test pass with colors disabled #38833. The two hunks are identical, so either PR can land first.
• Found while writing the fixtures: when an error is on the last line of a file that has no trailing newline, the code frame prints the wrong lines with wrong numbers. The threeTests fixture ends with a newline to stay clear of it. This is a separate bug in the code frame printer and is not changed here.
• Open PRs that also edit this file: bun test: number snapshots per test file regardless of which files ran before #38874 and bun test: attribute late expect() calls of an abandoned test to that test instead of the next one #38880 append new describe blocks (the merge is a placement conflict only). bun test: fix inline snapshot conflict, beforeAll skip, and test.each title reporting #32817 adds a timeout to grow file for new snapshot in the old structure. That hunk is not needed with this rewrite. make more tests faster #33704 marks one describe as concurrent.

Status: ready for review.

Reproduced the slow run locally with bun bd test test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts (debug ASAN build): 50.1 s for 63 tests. With this branch the same command takes 11.4 to 13.5 s over eight runs, all green, with colors off and with FORCE_COLOR=1 as CI sets it.

Walkthrough

The snapshot test suite replaces shared shell-based execution with isolated bun test subprocesses. It adds structured transcript assertions and expands coverage for external snapshots, inline snapshots, formatting, filtering, malformed files, and error cases.

Changes

Snapshot testing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Isolated snapshot harness test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts	Shared helpers create temporary projects, run subprocesses, parse transcripts, format snapshot values, and generate snapshot files.
External snapshot behavior test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts	Independent tests cover snapshot creation, updates, malformed files, file growth, special names, Unicode, and serialization cases.
Inline snapshot behavior and errors test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts	Inline tests validate updates, unchanged files, formatting, filtering, nested snapshots, matcher syntax, argument limits, file restrictions, and caller-file handling. The obsolete filter-writing test is removed.

One correction to the review summary: no test is removed. write snapshot from filter is still here. It moved up next to the other spawning tests and runs as test.concurrent, with the same three fixture files and the same two runs. The file keeps all 63 tests.

9dc34c7 does two things:

• The two snapshotCases loops are now test.each tables, with the chained previous snapshot carried in each row.
• The error snapshots test now strips ANSI codes from the nested matcher error before it is snapshotted, the same change as test: make the error snapshots test pass with colors disabled #38833, so the file passes with colors on or off. If test: make the error snapshots test pass with colors disabled #38833 lands first, the two hunks are identical and merge cleanly.
