fetch: fail a native reader of an aborted res.body with signal.reason - #43699
Conversation
BodyAbortListener::on_abort errors res.body through ReadableStream::error,
which cancels the native source after it errors the JS stream. For a
ByteStream, on_cancel ends a native consumer (a readableStreamTo* buffer
action, a wired sink) with a generic UserAbort AbortError, so
new Response(res.body).text(), Bun.readableStreamToText(res.body),
Bun.write(path, new Response(res.body)) and fetch(url, { body: res.body })
lost the signal's reason.
ReadableStream::error now hands the reason to the ByteStream's native
consumer before it cancels the source.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the StrongOptional root created in error_native_consumer on every path of on_data: the sink path moves it into sink.end, the buffer-action path drops it after action.reject, and the early return at ByteStream.rs:428 (done already set) drops it with the stream payload on the JS thread, so it is not leaked. The ordering concern that error_native_consumer runs after ReadableStream__error may have left an exception pending is not new: self.done() -> on_cancel already rejected the buffer action / ended the sink under the same condition before this change.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a small hook in the fetch abort path so a native consumer of an aborted response body fails with signal.reason instead of a generic AbortError, touching ByteStream and ReadableStream lifecycle code plus a new test matrix. It touches no auth, crypto or input-parsing surface. The diff is short but sits on re-entrant stream teardown code where on_data can run user JS before on_cancel, and one confirmed finding about the late-consumer case remains, so a human look is still worthwhile.
ReadableStream::error now delivers the reason to a ByteStream the way a producer does (on_data with an error), for every state of the stream. A stream that nothing reads yet keeps the error for the reader that comes later, as it already does for a body that fails on its own. Two readers ignored that stored error and took the stream for a complete, empty body: ByteStream::to_any_blob (Bun.write and a fetch() upload of new Response(res.body)) and the Bun.serve response path. Both now see the error. This also covers a body that failed without an abort, for example an upstream connection reset before the reader starts.

…tive source
The previous commit stored the reason in the ByteStream (pending.result) for a
reader that starts after the abort. That is a Strong, so a reason that
references its own Response (new Error(msg, { cause: res })) kept the Response,
its stream and itself alive even after res.text() had read the failed body.
Main collects them.
Store nothing instead:
- ReadableStream::error fails what reads natively right now (a wired sink, a
buffer action, a parked pull) with the reason. With nothing waiting it leaves
a generic abort error for a reader that already holds the source, for example
an idle Readable.fromWeb(), so that reader fails and does not see a clean end.
- An errored JS stream no longer hands out its native source: nativePtrForJS()
returns nothing and the Rust tag reads as a JS stream. A reader that starts
after the abort takes the reader path and gets the stored error.
ByteStream::to_any_blob and the Bun.serve ByteStream path are back to main: an
errored stream does not reach them any more.
Tests: Readable.fromWeb() (waiting, idle, after the abort), both Bun.serve
timings through stderr, and a heap check for the reason that references its
Response.

src/runtime/webcore/ByteStream.rs— pre-existing: a native reader that starts on res.body after the upstream connection fails with no abort still gets a complete, empty body ("", 0 bytes written, a 200 with an empty body from Bun.serve) instead of the network error. to_any_blob at ByteStream.rs:921 treats has_received_last_chunk as "whole body received" even when pending.result holds the terminal Err the fetch tasklet stored. The PR description says this path is not covered here, but the last push removed that guard and the RequestContext.rs take_pending_error branch. Fix: a stored terminal Err must never read as a complete body on any native path: to_any_blob returns None (or the error) when pending.result is Err, and the Bun.serve ByteStream fast path checks take_pending_error before has_received_last_chunk.Why this was flagged
const res = await fetch(url); const body = res.body; then the server resets the connection after 40 of 100 bytes and before anything reads. FetchTasklet.rs:767-772 delivers StreamResult::Err through bytes.on_data; with no sink, no buffer_action and no parked pull it lands in append…

…Reader() case main hides the handle of an errored stream since #43699, so the errored rows and the drained rows pass with or without this change. The same change makes the state check in hasPendingNativeSource() redundant. The new case reads an errored, never-read file stream through getReader(): starting the source would open the file.
Since #43699 an errored stream reads as a JS stream: nativePtrForJS() and the Rust tag both skip its native source. The start-failure path no longer needs to clear the slot itself.
