Problem

  • test/regression/issue/13696.test.ts takes 13s on the debian 13 x64-asan lane (build 110300). Locally with a debug build it took 9.11s, about 2.2s per test.
  • Each of the three tests spawned a bun child. The child loaded node:http and node:net, which takes about 2s in a debug build. The tests ran one after another, and the fixture paced its body chunks with a fixed 50ms sleep.

Fix

  • The raw net server and the http.request client now run inside the test process. The three tests run with test.concurrent, each on its own port: 0 listener or unix socket.
  • The server writes the next body chunk only after the client has observed the previous one. No sleep and no exit timeout remain. A hang in either direction fails on the test timeout, as before.
  • Stronger assertions: the raw request line, the Transfer-Encoding: chunked header, and the chunked frame of the single write() are checked on the server side. After the response ends, req.writableEnded must still be false, which proves the response arrived while the request body was open.
  • Verified: bun bd test test/regression/issue/13696.test.ts goes from 9.11s to 3.5s locally (10 runs, all green). The tests themselves take about 1s. The rest is runner startup. Also green under USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1.

Background

Notes
  • Before: 2444ms, 2220ms, 2073ms per test, 9.11s for the file. bun-debug -e 'require("http"); require("net")' alone takes 2.0s, against 0.3s for an empty script. That is the whole cost of the old subprocess design.
  • After: 962ms (tcp), 496ms (unix), 393ms (flushHeaders), all concurrent, 3.5s for the file.
  • The expect() calls run in the test body, not inside the server callback, so a failed assertion reports against the test instead of surfacing as an unhandled rejection.
  • make more tests faster #33704 is an older, conflicting bulk PR that only adds test.concurrent to this file. This change keeps that and removes the subprocesses too.

Each of the three tests spawned a bun child that loaded node:http and
node:net, which takes about two seconds per child in a debug build.
The server and the client now run inside the test process, the tests
run concurrently, and the server paces its body chunks on the client's
receipt of the previous chunk instead of a fixed sleep.

The tests now also assert the raw request line, the chunked body frame
from the single write(), and that req.writableEnded is still false
when the response has ended.

Good catch on the marker. The server now waits for the whole chunked frame (size line, payload, trailing CRLF) before it resolves, so the toEndWith assertion cannot race the last CRLF. Pushed in
0fe8297.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Changes

The regression tests now use in-process net and http servers. They validate streamed request and response behavior without calling req.end(), including TCP, Unix socket, and flushHeaders() scenarios.

Changes

HTTP streaming regression tests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Streaming request and response validation
test/regression/issue/13696.test.ts
The tests cover TCP and Unix socket requests, chunked request framing, response ordering, complete streamed chunks, request headers, and writableEnded: false.
flushHeaders() with an open request
test/regression/issue/13696.test.ts
The test confirms that "hello" arrives after flushHeaders() and write() without req.end(), while the request remains open.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0fe82

The rewritten HTTP regression tests may fail intermittently from socket errors or fragmented response data, and the listener call may fail TypeScript checking. These issues should be corrected before merge so the faster in-process coverage remains reliable.

- Around line 45-60: Add an empty "error" listener at the start of each
in-process server connection handler to absorb expected socket errors: the TCP
and Unix socket handlers in test/regression/issue/13696.test.ts lines 45-60, and
the flushHeaders handler in lines 132-136. No other changes are needed.
- Around line 87-92: Update the response data handler to accumulate incoming
chunks in a buffer and emit events only for complete newline-terminated lines,
retaining any trailing partial line for the next data event. Resolve
chunkReceived only after processing a complete line so the test’s pacing
invariant is preserved.
- Line 61: Update the server setup around server.listen to use explicit
branches: call server.listen with socketPath when it is present, otherwise call
it with port 0 and host 127.0.0.1. Remove the conditional spread so TypeScript
can resolve the overloaded method signatures.

Absorb socket errors on the server side, buffer response data to whole

LGTM — the earlier framing concern is addressed (readUntil now waits for the full chunkedFrame including the trailing CRLF, so the toEndWith assertion is race-free), and the follow-up commit hardened the server sockets against the reset from req.destroy().

Checked: the chunkReceived handshake is sound (server awaits between writes so chunks can't coalesce into one client data event); response body is buffered to newline boundaries before asserting; req.on("error", reject) is wired before req.write(); cleanup via await using + try/finally is registered before assertions. Assertions are strictly stronger than the old subprocess version — the new writableEnded: false check directly proves the response arrived while the request body was still open.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR refactors test/regression/issue/13696.test.ts from a subprocess-spawning design (three bunExe() -e children, each loading node:http/node:net in a fresh debug process, paced by await wait(50) and guarded by a 3s setTimeout().unref()) to an in-process design that runs the net.createServer and http.request directly in the test body. The three tests become test.concurrent, chunk pacing is replaced by a Promise.withResolvers() handshake so the server writes chunk N+1 only after the client observed chunk N, and both sides buffer to protocol framing (server via readUntil on the full chunked frame, client via newline-buffered data events). Cleanup uses await using on the server and try/finally { req.destroy() } on the request. File runtime drops from ~9s to ~3.5s locally per the PR.

Security risks

None. This is a test-only change to a regression test for node:http duplex request behavior. No production code, no auth/crypto/permissions paths, no external network access (loopback + unix socket only, port: 0).

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. Test-only, mechanical refactor with a clear speedup goal. The main risks for this class of change are (a) introducing timing-based flakiness and (b) weakening what the original test asserted. Both were checked: the sleep/timeout machinery is replaced with an explicit ack handshake (no setTimeout/sleep remains), and the assertions are strictly stronger — the old version asserted stdout lines and exit code, the new version asserts the same event sequence plus the raw request line, Transfer-Encoding: chunked header, the exact chunked-frame bytes, and req.writableEnded === false at response-end (which is the actual invariant issue #13696 was about).

Other factors

My earlier inline comment about readUntil(sock, payload) racing against the trailing CRLF was addressed in commit 0fe8297 — the marker is now the full chunkedFrame (${len.toString(16)}\r\n${payload}\r\n), so toEndWith(chunkedFrame) cannot see a partial buffer. Commit d588b9b added sock.on("error", () => {}) to the server-side sockets so the ECONNRESET from req.destroy() in the finally block doesn't surface as an unhandled error, plausibly addressing the CodeRabbit threads that were opened and then followed by that commit. The chunkReceived handshake was traced for the coalescing edge case: because the server awaits each ack before the next sock.write, the client cannot receive two chunks in one data event, so calling chunkReceived.resolve() per line is safe. The regression fix (#30377) already shipped, so USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 passing is expected here — this is a refactor of an existing test, not a new one.

CI status: 180 of 181 jobs pass on 7131634. The one red job is ubuntu 25.04 aarch64, where test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.ipc.node-bun.test.ts failed on an output ordering race between the node parent and the bun child. This PR changes only test/regression/issue/13696.test.ts, which passes on every lane in all three runs (builds 110376, 110382, 110389). The spawn ipc failure is reported separately. Ready for review.
