Problem

  • require() of an ES module never returns when a module in its graph calls a macro. The thread spins in EventLoop::wait_for_promise, under VirtualMachine::_load_macro_entry_point. Regression in 1.3.14 from Upgrade WebKit to 87fd0daba19a (module-loader rewrite) #29393.
  • require() of an ES module sets VM::m_synchronousModuleQueue. JSC parks every module loader reaction there, and only that require() drains it. The macro runs inside the drain and loads its module with the asynchronous loader. Its reactions wait in a queue that cannot drain before the macro returns.

Fix

  • NestedModuleQueueScope pushes a queue of its own in front of the require()'s queue, and MacroModeGuard enters it. The queue stays on the VM's chain, so the GC still visits what the require() parked. On drop, what is still parked moves to the require()'s queue.
  • EventLoop::wait_for_promise moves the parked reactions to the microtask queue after each tick. It does not poll when there were any.
  • Verified: test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts (seven new tests, each times out on stock bun). Also the require-esm-* suites and the macro regression tests.
  • Self-reviewed: 3 concerns raised, 3 addressed. See Notes.

Background

  • A macro (import ... with { type: "macro" }) runs while a file is transpiled. On the main thread it runs in the program's VM, inside a MacroModeGuard.
  • Macro::init loads a generated module that does await import(<macro file>). wait_for_promise then ticks the event loop until it settles.
  • m_synchronousModuleQueue is Bun's addition to JSC for require(esm). loadModuleSync points it at a stack frame and drains it, so a graph loads with no yield to user microtasks.
Notes

Repro (bun entry.js, prints before require and then spins; 1.3.13 prints required: from-macro!, 1.3.14 spins):

// mac.js
export function getValue() { return "from-macro"; }
// a.js
import { getValue } from "./mac.js" with { type: "macro" };
export const m0 = getValue();
// c.js
import { m0 } from "./a.js";
export const c = m0 + "!";
// entry.js
console.log("before require");
const ns = require("./c.js");
console.log("required:", ns.c);

Stack of the spin (debug build):

EventLoop::wait_for_promise
VirtualMachine::_load_macro_entry_point
Macro::init <- MacroContext::call <- __bun_macro_context_call
P::e_call ... Parser::parse (a.js)
Bun__transpileFile <- Bun::fetchESMSourceCodeSync <- Zig::GlobalObject::moduleLoaderFetch
JSModuleLoader::fetch <- hostLoadImportedModule <- innerModuleLoading <- loadRequestedModules
moduleLoadStep <- runInternalMicrotask <- JSModuleLoader::drainSynchronousModuleQueue
JSModuleLoader::loadModuleSync <- functionEsmLoadSync   (require("./c.js"))

The loader's fetch hook transpiles a dependency of a require()d module on the main thread, inside the drain. require() of the macro's own file works, because the file is transpiled before the queue exists. import works, because a worker thread transpiles the file in its own macro VM.

The same spin, fixed by the same change: a nested require() of the file with the macro, and Bun.Transpiler#transformSync of source with a macro, while a require()d ES module evaluates.

Checked by hand on the debug build. Each prints the macro's value now, and each spins on 1.4.3: require() from .js and .cjs, one level deeper, import.meta.require, createRequire(import.meta.url), inside a Worker, inside bun test, require() twice with the cache entries deleted, two files with the same macro. A macro that throws and a macro module that throws on load report the error and exit 1. Also run with BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1, with eight modules parked in the require()'s queue while the macro runs.

Self-review. It raised three concerns: macro-specific names next to the same construction in #41997, no stated exclusions for the other blocking waits, and a known gap that said too much about release builds. The sections below answer them.

Shape of the code. The pieces have no macro in their names, so a second caller can use them. Bun::requeueSynchronousModuleQueueAsMicrotasks (ModuleLoader.h) is the replay loop. JSVMClientData::nestedModuleQueue records the innermost nested queue where C++ can see it. #41997 (import() started by a require()d module) builds the same frame and the same replay loop in DynamicImportQueueScope. It can drop its own copy and its own dynamicImportModuleQueue pointer when it is rebased on this. The two were not built together.

Why a queue and not a cleared pointer. With m_synchronousModuleQueue set to null for the macro, the GC does not reach the values parked in the require()'s queue (see require-esm-gc-roots.test.ts). Also a module that the macro's module imports, and that the require() already started to load, never completes for the macro.

Why flush forwards the tasks and does not run them in place. JSModuleLoader::drainSynchronousModuleQueue restarts from index 0, so a nested wait_for_promise (a macro that calls transformSync with a macro) would run tasks twice.

Why what is left moves to the require()'s queue and not to the microtask queue. A reaction that is left can belong to the require()'s own graph. The require() does not drain microtasks, so that graph would stay pending and require() would throw require() async module ... is unsupported.

Why the new tests are not concurrent. A regression spins, and the test runner kills a timed-out test's child only when the test runs alone.

Not covered: other blocking waits beneath require() of an ES module. Only a MacroModeGuard enters the scope. Bun.build with an async plugin setup() (JSBundler.rs), bake's parse_plugin_array, and expect().resolves / .rejects and the async matchers (expect.rs) also wait in wait_for_promise. Beneath a require() of an ES module they regressed with the same #29393, and they still spin when what they wait for needs the module loader. They are left out on purpose. Their blocking waits are being removed under #33261 (#42680 for Bun.build, #33289 for the matchers). For expect(import()).resolves the import() runs before the wait starts, so no scope around the wait can help.

Known gap 1: the macro's own file is already in the require()'s graph. The generated entry module loads the macro's file with import(). That top-level load takes the file's registry entry as it is. 1.3.13 runs both shapes below. Both are test.todo here.

  • The same module imports the file normally before the file with the macro. The same applies to a macro from a node: builtin that the module imported earlier. The entry is still Fetching, and the import() waits on its fetch promise, which only the require()'s queue can settle. At this branch's base (WebKit cf1b36ec87) the wait spins, in release builds too. The WebKit on main has a branch for this case (fetchSynchronously in the top-level JSModuleLoader::loadModule, in bun since Bump WebKit to 000c48997255 #43022 at the latest). On a local merge of this branch with main 6d504dd, a release build prints from-macro!helper (3 of 3), and a debug build aborts on the assertion of known gap 2.
  • An ancestor imports the file earlier. The entry has its record, and the import() joins the entry's load promise, which only the require()'s parked reactions fulfill. On the same merge this still spins, in release builds too.

oven-sh/WebKit#675 fixes both shapes. #42915 is stacked on this branch: it pins that WebKit build and turns the todo tests into tests. Workaround until then: keep macros in a file that nothing imports normally, or list the file with the macro first.

Known gap 2: a module that the macro's module imports is in flight in the require()'s graph. For example both import node:path, and the importer lists it before the file with the macro. The macro's load completes that module, and the require()'s own continuation for it runs inside the macro's wait, while JSModuleLoader::innerModuleLoading still iterates the importer's requests up the stack. A release build runs this correctly. Debug and ASAN builds abort on ASSERT(module->loadedModules().size() <= loadedModulesCountBefore + 1) (or on the needsErrorReaction assertion below it), because the bookkeeping does not expect a different request to complete during the call. oven-sh/WebKit#363 and oven-sh/WebKit#396 replace that bookkeeping with a lookup of the request. The test for this shape is todoIf(isDebug || isASAN) until one of them lands (oven-sh/WebKit#675 carries oven-sh/WebKit#396).

Merge order. #40769 moves both macro waits from wait_for_promise to a new wait_for_promise_until_idle, which has a loop of its own. The two diffs do not conflict in the text, but the one that lands second has to call flush_nested_module_queue in that loop too. #40059 moves every macro to one dedicated VM thread and removes the main-thread macro path. It is not merged. This change is small and goes away with that path.

Changes

The VM now manages nested synchronous module queues during macro execution. C++ bindings create, flush, and restore queues. Promise waiting flushes queued work into microtasks. Tests cover macro execution during ES module loading.

Macro module queue handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Queue contract and operations
src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp, src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.h, src/jsc/bindings/BunClientData.h
The VM tracks the active nested queue. FFI helpers create nested queues, requeue synchronous tasks as microtasks, flush queued tasks, and restore parent queues.
Guard lifecycle and event-loop flushing
src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, src/jsc/event_loop.rs
MacroModeGuard manages queue ownership. wait_for_promise flushes nested module work after ticks and skips auto_tick() when work moves to microtasks.
Macro loading validation
test/bundler/transpiler/macro-test.test.ts
Tests cover macro execution during ES module loading, nested imports, transpilation, asynchronous work, load failures, unawaited imports, and shared dependencies.

…module

require() of an ES module sets VM::m_synchronousModuleQueue, and JSC diverts
every module loader reaction to it until the require() returns. A macro that
runs inside that (a dependency transpiled from the fetch hook, a nested
require(), Bun.Transpiler called while the module evaluates) loads its module
with the asynchronous loader and waits for it. Its reactions were parked on
the require()'s queue, which cannot drain before the macro returns, so the
wait spun forever.

MacroModeGuard now pushes a queue of its own in front of the require()'s, and
EventLoop::wait_for_promise moves what lands there to the microtask queue.

🟡 Minor · Flush the active macro module queue on settled exits. · src/jsc/event_loop.rs:1111-1129

1111-1129: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Flush the active macro module queue on settled exits. MacroContext::call and Macro::init can call wait_for_promise while a MacroModeGuard owns an active queue. If macro code starts an import() and then returns an already-settled promise, the initial return skips flush_macro_module_queue. A tick that settles the promise also skips the flush. The reactions remain parked until the guard drops and forwards them to the parent queue, so they are delayed instead of being moved to microtasks as required. Flush the queue on the initially-settled path and after each tick before returning for a settled promise.

@coderabbitai About "flush the macro module queue on settled exits" in EventLoop::wait_for_promise: I did not make that change. The current behavior is intended.

  • Reactions that are still parked when the wait ends belong to work that the macro did not await. MacroModeGuard::drop moves them to the require()'s queue (Bun__MacroModuleQueue__pop). That require() drains its queue before it returns. Without the macro's queue, JSC sends them to the same place.
  • A flush on exit sends them to the microtask queue instead. The require() does not drain microtasks, so they run after it returns. Some of them can belong to the require()'s own graph: the macro's load can complete a module that the require() already started to load, and that settles promises the require()'s graph waits on. If those reactions run late, loadModuleSync returns a pending promise, and require() throws require() async module ... is unsupported.
  • A later wait under the same guard still flushes them when it needs progress, because the flush runs after each tick while the promise is pending.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@robobun Thanks for the detailed explanation. The current behavior preserves the required synchronous queue ordering.

MacroModeGuard::drop transfers parked reactions to the surrounding require() queue. require() drains that queue before it returns. A settled-exit flush would instead defer these reactions to the microtask queue and can leave the require() graph pending.

I withdraw the comment about flushing on settled exits.

Learning: In Bun's macro loading flow, `EventLoop::wait_for_promise` must not flush the macro module queue when the awaited promise settles. `MacroModeGuard::drop` transfers unawaited parked reactions through `Bun__MacroModuleQueue__pop` to the surrounding synchronous `require()` queue, which `require()` drains before it returns. A settled-exit flush moves these reactions to the microtask queue, which can defer reactions required by the `require()` graph and cause `loadModuleSync` to return a pending promise with `require() async module ... is unsupported`.

The other late-settle case waits on a timer. This one waits on a file

This bug was worked twice. A second branch (head afc7974, no PR opened) reached the same mechanism: a frame that MacroModeGuard pushes, and a flush to the microtask queue from wait_for_promise. This PR covers more (a nested require(), transformSync, the error path, the gap with modules in flight), so that branch is withdrawn in favor of this PR. Four things from that work:

  • ea43a77 adds the one case that this PR did not have: a macro module whose top-level await waits on a file read. The completion comes back from the thread pool, not from a timer. The case times out on 1.4.3 and passes with this change (585 ms on a debug build).
  • The other branch moved what was left to the microtask queue when the guard dropped. This PR moves it to the queue of the require(). That is the better choice, for the reason in the reply to the review above: a reaction that is left can belong to the graph of the require(), and a flush leaves that graph pending.
  • Merge order with macros: fail the build on process.exit, Error returns, sparse arrays, and promises that never settle #40769. That PR moves both macro waits (_load_macro_entry_point and the promise arm in Macro.rs) from wait_for_promise to a new wait_for_promise_until_idle, which has a loop of its own. The two PRs do not conflict in the text. By my reading of the two diffs, after both the macro waits no longer flush, nothing keeps the loop alive, and the macro fails with macro returned a promise that never settles. The PR that lands second has to call flush_macro_module_queue in that loop too. I did not build the two together.
  • require(esm): do not run an import() started by the required module inside the require() #41997 has the same loop (queue every task, then shrink(0)) in DynamicImportQueueScope. If both land, one helper can serve both.

…it leaves open

The queue is no longer named for macros. NestedModuleQueueScope is a standalone
RAII type that MacroModeGuard enters, the innermost queue is recorded in
JSVMClientData::nestedModuleQueue where C++ callers can see it, and the replay
loop is Bun::requeueSynchronousModuleQueueAsMicrotasks in ModuleLoader.h, so
the import() isolation in #41997 can use the same pieces.

Tests: a macro that starts an import() and does not await it, and two todo
tests for the shapes that still spin (the macro's own file already in the
require()'s graph).

- Line 610: Update the shared queue handoff used by Macro::init and
NestedModuleQueueScope so nested loadAndEvaluateModule waits also drain or yield
to the surrounding synchronous require() queue, allowing an already-loading m.ts
promise to resolve without hanging. Apply the single queue-handling fix to both
import shapes, then enable both currently skipped tests instead of leaving them
as test.todo.

Follow-up for "Known gap 1" (the macro's own file is already in the require()'s graph):

One thing for this PR's notes: in "Known gap 2" (a module that the macro's module imports is in flight in the require()'s graph), the loader fetches that module a second time, and the second transpile happens in macro mode. When that module calls a macro of its own, the macro-mode source replaces the one the program runs, and it fails with ReferenceError. oven-sh/WebKit#675 removes the second fetch.
