Problem

  • A file with /** @jsxRuntime classic */ gets warn: "key" prop after a {...spread} is deprecated in JSX. Falling back to classic runtime. for <p {...p} key={k} />. It is already classic, so nothing falls back. The reverse is silent: --jsx-runtime=classic plus /** @jsxRuntime automatic */ falls back to createElement with no warning.
  • bun build, Bun.build logs and Bun.Transpiler show it. Bun.Transpiler throws on a warning (Bun.Transpiler: a parser warning makes transform(), transformSync(), scan() and scanImports() throw #42427). Found by inspection, no user report.
  • Cause: the parse pass warned from options.jsx.runtime (src/js_parser/parse/parse_jsx.rs:223). The pragma reaches that option later, in prepare_for_visit_pass (src/js_parser/p.rs:3371).

Fix

  • The visit pass emits the warning (e_jsx_element in src/js_parser/visit/visit_expr.rs), where the fallback happens. The runtime is final there.
  • The text, the once-per-file limit, the location (last spread prop) and the emitted code do not change.
  • Bun.Transpiler: transformSync and scan now throw the warning for a classic config plus @jsxRuntime automatic. scanImports only parses, and no longer throws it.
  • Verified: test/bundler/bundler_jsx.test.ts (4 new) and test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js (2 new). All 6 fail on bun 1.4.3. Also react-compiler.test.ts, cli.test.ts, bun-build-api.test.ts.

Background

  • Automatic runtime: jsx(type, props, key). Classic runtime: React.createElement(type, props, ...children), with key inside props.
  • With a spread before key, jsx() cannot tell which key wins. Bun, Babel, TypeScript and esbuild compile that element with createElement. Bun also warns.
  • A @jsxRuntime comment sets the runtime for one file. The lexer records it from any comment.
  • The parse pass builds the AST. The visit pass lowers JSX to calls.

bun run does not print parser warnings, so it never showed this one.

Why the parse pass cannot read lexer.jsx_pragma

The lexer records pragmas from every comment, and the last one wins. A pragma after the JSX sets the runtime of the whole file, and the parse pass has not seen it when it parses the element. On 1.4.3, a file that ends with /** @jsxRuntime classic */ compiles to React.createElement and still warns. The two ...PragmaAfterJsx... tests cover this.

Location of the warning

  • The value of the last spread prop of the element, as before. The visit pass reads it before it visits the props, because a visit can replace an expression.
  • {...(a)} now points at a and not at (, one column to the right. A parenthesized expression keeps the location of its inner expression.
  • When an element with key after spread sits inside a prop of another such element, the one warning per file now names the outer element. It named the inner one before.

scanImports

scanImports runs the parse pass only (_scan_imports). prepare_for_visit_pass does not run there, so no pragma applies, and nothing transforms the JSX. The report in #7328 met this warning as a throw from scanImports.

has_classic_runtime_warned

The parse pass no longer writes this field. ParserSnapshot undoes parse-pass writes after a speculative parse, so the field leaves the snapshot. The visit pass does not backtrack.

Suites run with the debug build

bundler_jsx.test.ts, transpiler.test.js, react-compiler.test.ts, jsx-production.test.ts, jsx-tsconfig-react-jsx.test.ts, jsx-deep-nesting-stack-overflow.test.ts, jsx-namespaced-attributes.test.ts, jsx-symbol-collision.test.ts, cli.test.ts -t "warnings dont return exit code 1", bun-build-api.test.ts -t "warnings do not fail a build", esbuild/default.test.ts -t JSX, esbuild/loader.test.ts -t JSX. cargo clippy -p bun_js_parser is clean.

Self-reviewed: the review asked for a rebase over #42389, a scanImports assertion, the bundleWarnings: {} idiom in the tests, and the "Not changed" list above. All are done.

The parser emitted the warning while it parsed the element, from
options.jsx.runtime. The @jsxRuntime pragma reaches that option only in
prepare_for_visit_pass, so the warning used the configured runtime:

- A file that selects classic with the pragma got the warning, although
  there is nothing to fall back from.
- A file that selects automatic with the pragma, under a classic
  config, fell back to createElement with no warning.

Emit the warning from the visit pass, next to the code that does the
fallback, where the runtime is final. The parse pass no longer writes
has_classic_runtime_warned, so the parser snapshot drops it.

Walkthrough

The JSX key-after-spread warning moved from parsing to visitation. Parser snapshots no longer restore its warning state. Bundler and transpiler tests cover runtime pragmas, warnings, output, and scanning.

Changes

JSX key-after-spread warning flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove parser-time warning state
src/js_parser/p.rs, src/js_parser/parse/parse_jsx.rs
Parser snapshots no longer capture or restore the warning flag. JSX parsing no longer tracks spread locations or emits the warning.
Emit the warning during visitation
src/js_parser/visit/visit_expr.rs
JSX visitation detects automatic runtime usage and emits the warning once when key follows a spread.
Validate runtime selection and scanning
test/bundler/bundler_jsx.test.ts, test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js
Tests cover classic and automatic pragmas, warning behavior, generated output, export scanning, and import scanning.

LGTM — moving the warning to the visit pass is the right layer, since that's where the runtime is final and where the createElement fallback actually happens.

What was reviewed:

  • Verified the emitted code path is unchanged: the fallback at runtime == Classic || is_key_after_spread was already independent of the warning, so this is diagnostic-only.
  • Checked that hoisting runtime/is_key_after_spread above the property-visiting loop is safe (neither input changes during visiting), and that spread_loc is read from e_.properties before any visit_expr call could rewrite locations.
  • Confirmed has_classic_runtime_warned leaving ParserSnapshot is correct — grep shows the only remaining writes are in the visit pass, which doesn't backtrack.
  • Tests cover the pragma-position × runtime matrix across bun build, transformSync/scan, and scanImports; bundleWarnings: {} asserts the negative case.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR relocates the JSX "key after spread" deprecation warning from parse_jsx.rs (parse pass) to e_jsx_element in visit_expr.rs (visit pass). The parse pass reads options.jsx.runtime before prepare_for_visit_pass has applied any @ jsxRuntime pragma, so the warning fired based on the configured runtime rather than the effective one. The visit pass already computed runtime and is_key_after_spread for the codegen decision at the same site; the warning now sits directly above that decision. Dead state (spread_loc tracking, has_classic_runtime_warned in ParserSnapshot) is removed in the same commit.

Security risks

None. This is a diagnostic-emission change in the transpiler; no user input parsing, allocation sizing, FFI, or auth/crypto is touched. The warning text and log channel are unchanged.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate — it's in the JS parser, but the change is narrowly scoped to when a warning fires, not to what code is emitted. The createElement fallback branch (runtime == Classic || is_key_after_spread) is untouched, so runtime output is identical; only the presence/absence of a build warning changes. The runtime and is_key_after_spread locals are hoisted a few lines earlier but read the same inputs, and the spread-location recovery scans the pre-visit property list so locations haven't been rewritten yet. has_classic_runtime_warned correctly leaves ParserSnapshot because the visit pass doesn't use speculative-parse backtracking.

Other factors

Test coverage is thorough for the class: four itBundled cases (classic/automatic pragma × before/after the JSX element) asserting both bundleWarnings and runtime output, plus Bun.Transpiler cases for transformSync/scan (both pragma positions) and scanImports (parse-only, both runtimes). The PR description states all six fail on 1.4.3, satisfying the fails-before/passes-after requirement. No CODEOWNERS entry covers src/js_parser/ or test/bundler/, no prior reviews are outstanding, and the hunt exited on dry_streak. This matches REVIEW.md's "fix at the layer that owns the invariant" and "delete code the change makes dead in the same PR" rules cleanly.

The location was the last spread prop of the element, also when that
spread comes after the key. Stop the lookup at key_prop_index.

The transpiler tests use it.each in place of loops.
