Do not fail on a warning: gate Bun.Transpiler, FileSystemRouter and Worker on LogJsc::errors_to_js by robobun · Pull Request #45063 · oven-sh/bun

Supersedes #42433 and #42430.

Problem

Bun.Transpiler fails when its log holds only a warning (Handling of key and spread in JSX not aligned with SWC and esbuild #7328, 2023). The four methods and the constructor throw a BuildMessage with level: "warn": Treating "-->" as the start of a legacy HTML single-line comment.
13 sites test "the log holds a message", not "the log holds an error": 11 in src/runtime/api/JSTranspiler.rs, load_router in filesystem_router.rs, and flush_logs in web_worker.rs. The last two fail on a tsconfig.json warning.
logLevel: "error" reached transform and transformSync only.

Fix

New LogJsc::errors_to_js returns the value to throw, or None when the errors counter is zero. The 13 sites call it.
Log::child() gives each scratch log on the Bun.Transpiler path the level of logLevel.
Verified: transpiler.test.js (51 of 79 new tests fail without the change), filesystem_router.test.ts, worker-entry-point.test.ts, worker_threads.test.ts.
Self-reviewed: 32 concerns raised, 28 addressed, four left as two follow-ups (Notes).

Background

A Log (src/ast/lib.rs) counts errors and warnings. Its level drops a message below it.
Log::to_js makes one BuildMessage, or an AggregateError for several. A warning beside an error stays in it.
Considered Bun.Transpiler: do not throw on a parser warning #42433 alone: it leaves the constructor, logLevel, FileSystemRouter and Worker. A default logLevel of "error": "warn" would still throw.

Downsides

A warning from a call that succeeds now goes nowhere.
FileSystemRouter and Worker still fail on an error-kind tsconfig.json that is not theirs.
Clean input: no cost found. mimalloc calls per call are unchanged (26/24/10/31). .text is 1,536 B smaller.

Notes

Two decisions for a maintainer

Errors-only at every logLevel (this PR, and what esbuild's transform API does), or a default logLevel of "error" (suggested in the review of fix: jsx key after spread #7464)? With the second one logLevel: "warn" still throws on a warning, and an error beside a warning becomes a single BuildMessage.
Where a warning goes when the call succeeds. This PR drops it, as FileSystemRouter.reload() already does. esbuild returns result.warnings. A way to return warnings as data is new API and is not in this PR.

History

Handling of key and spread in JSX not aligned with SWC and esbuild #7328 (2023): a user hit the throw through scanImports. fix: jsx key after spread #7464 closed it with the logLevel option, which reached transform and transformSync only. In that review (fix: jsx key after spread #7464 (comment)) the reviewer wrote that a warning should not throw and gave the errors > 0 diff. The option landed with the default "warn" to keep the tests of that time.
do not fail bundles on warnings #2920 (2023): "do not fail bundles on warnings", the same rule for bun build and Bun.build. errors_to_js applies it to these APIs.
Bun.Transpiler: a parser warning makes transform(), transformSync(), scan() and scanImports() throw #42427 and Bun.Transpiler: scan() and scanImports() ignore the logLevel option #42426 describe this bug and were closed because reports from a bot do not belong in GitHub issues. Handling of key and spread in JSX not aligned with SWC and esbuild #7328 is the user report.
The throw on a warning dates from the first version of Bun.Transpiler (2022). No comment or commit gives a reason for it.

What changes, by API

transformSync, transform, scan, scanImports: 9 parser warnings x 4 methods. Main throws in 30 of 36 cells (12 of 36 at logLevel: "error"). This PR: 0 of 36 at every level. A JSON duplicate key through the json loader: main throws 3 of 3, this PR 0 of 3.
Constructor: 12 tsconfig / macro options that log only a warning. Main throws 12 of 12 at every level. This PR constructs 12 of 12 and writes nothing to stderr.
new FileSystemRouter(): the first construct over a tsconfig.json with a warning threw and the second returned. Now both return.
filesystem_router.test.ts: the new test fails with filesystem_router.rs of main and passes with this change. On main the constructor throws BuildMessage: Invalid JSX member expression: "1abc", the warning of the tsconfig.json. CI ran the file in Buildkite #136229: 52 pass and 0 fail on Linux x64 with ASAN, 49 pass and 3 skip on Windows x64 and on macOS aarch64. On an earlier local build (e8339ce) the file was red with or without this change: its stress test reload() while Bun.build() resolves the same directory needed more than its 60 s. That is why the note at the end of this description leaves the file to CI. On a debug build with ASAN of this branch merged with main at cdfa19b the whole file passes (52 pass).
Worker: a warning-only tsconfig.json beside the entry fired error twice on a Web Worker while the worker ran. A node:worker_threads parent with no error listener ended with exit code 1. Now no event fires.
An error beside a warning: the thrown AggregateError holds both at the default level and at "warn", as before. At "error" the thrown value is the single error for all four methods and for the constructor. Before, scan, scanImports and the constructor kept the warning.
The option against the level of the process: with logLevel = "error" in bunfig.toml and the option logLevel: "warn", the thrown AggregateError holds the warning for all four methods and for the constructor. Before, scan, scanImports and the constructor dropped it.
transform(): when the transform fails and the log holds only a warning, the promise rejects with the failure (ParseError), not with the warning.

Limits

With logLevel = "error" in bunfig.toml, a worker now keeps a tsconfig.json warning that main dropped. The log of a worker VM is at Warn whatever bunfig.toml says, and Log::child() follows its parent. The warning fires no event alone. Beside an error the event carries an AggregateError. logger: make Log::default() follow the configured log level (Workers ignored bunfig logLevel) #37908 makes the worker log follow the level of the process, which removes the case.
FileSystemRouter and Worker fail on what the resolver logs the first time it reads a directory. This PR removes the warning half. An error-kind tsconfig.json (for example {"compilerOptions": {) still fails the first new FileSystemRouter() and still fires error on a worker that runs. A separate route log and a scoped log for the entry resolution would remove that half too.
flush_logs tested msgs.is_empty(). It now tests the errors counter, which Log::add_msg does not change. A message that is put in a worker's log that way no longer fires a late error event.
Log::to_js converts the first 256 messages of a log. An error that comes after 256 warnings is not in the thrown AggregateError. Main does the same (probe: 256 lines --> and then let = ;). The cap is in to_js, so it is a separate change and not in this PR.
"key" prop ignored (<div key />) is a warning here and an error in esbuild. That input now transpiles with no message.
An invalid define key and an external with two * log an error, and the constructor still succeeds. Not changed.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

A clippy disallowed-methods entry for LogJsc::to_js, so that a new gate cannot bypass errors_to_js. FileSystemRouter: surface route-load errors from reload() like the constructor does #34614 (adds log.errors + log.warnings > 0 to FileSystemRouter.reload()) and Bun.Transpiler: add unstable_parse() to expose the internal AST #36745 (unstable_parse, two warnings + errors gates) would add the old check again.
The error-kind half for FileSystemRouter and Worker, above. The open PRs for it are FileSystemRouter: read the route tree from disk on every scan #46584 (FileSystemRouter) and worker: fire 'error' for the VM log only when the worker fails #45203 (Worker).
One test was not written: a failed transform() beside a warning with an empty error log. No input reaches that state in a deterministic way. The css loader test covers the same arm.

Other open PRs that touch this

Hardening: fix crashes across the runtime, bundler, dev server, shell and CLI #46021 (merged): has the options.log fix of Fix a segfault in new Bun.Transpiler(): re-point options.log after the constructor moves its Log #45045 and its crash test. This branch carried them before and no longer does. Without that fix, a warning-only tsconfig followed by define errors frees the log buffer twice.
Move Crypto, TextDecoder, Bun.FileSystemRouter and three more classes to bindgen schemas #45888 (merged): moved FileSystemRouter to bindgen and put the check in load_router, with the doc line "A warning is an error." on Load::Cached. That line described the old check. This PR changes the check and the line.
bundler: own the Bun.build transpiler with a Box so it drops when option setup fails #35312: writes the same pointer inside Transpiler::set_log. Fix a segfault in new Bun.Transpiler(): re-point options.log after the constructor moves its Log #45045 explains why the write is in the constructor.
Remove 187 unsafe blocks from the VM, DNS, timers, and the socket and server code #47871 (merged): fixed the TypeError: undefined of a preload that does not resolve, in WebWorker::create. Worker: a preload that does not resolve throws the resolver's message again, not TypeError: undefined #45067 was the PR for that case and is closed.
worker: fire 'error' for the VM log only when the worker fails #45203: calls flush_logs only on the paths that end a worker. That removes the second error event that a worker still fires for an error-kind message in its log (this PR removes it for a warning only). It changes flush_logs and the same two worker test files, so the one that lands second needs a merge.
FileSystemRouter: read the route tree from disk on every scan #46584: its route scan reads the disk and does not use the resolver. From a read of its diff, the constructor then does not parse a tsconfig.json under the routes directory, which removes the error-kind case above. Its gate is log.has_errors(). It replaces load_router, so the one that lands second needs a merge.
Bun.Transpiler: do not throw on a parser warning #42433 and Honor logLevel in Bun.Transpiler scan() and scanImports() #42430 (superseded): the seven tests they add pass unchanged on this branch at 322a3d4, and six of them fail without this change. Their source changes are the four gates and the three level copies that this PR replaces with errors_to_js and Log::child().
Bun.Transpiler: default autoImportJSX to true for the automatic runtime #35557: changes the default of autoImportJSX. The JSX rows of the new tests pass autoImportJSX: false.
jsx: make the key-after-spread warning follow the @jsxRuntime pragma #42429: four of its tests rely on the throw.

Measurements

Release builds of the merge base and of this PR at aadaa7d, linux x64. Main was merged in after that (5441d85, with #46021 and #45888). The gates and the scratch logs that these numbers count did not change in that merge. The byte counts are from aadaa7d and are not measured again.

mimalloc calls per call (breakpoint hit counts on the nine allocation entry points, JIT off), transformSync / scan / scanImports / transform:

- one warning, default level: 38.00 / 36.02 / 22.01 / 43.83 and the call returns. Main: 41.02 / 40.02 / 28.02 / 49.05 and the call throws.
- one warning, logLevel: "error": 26.00 / 24.02 / 10.01 / 30.73. Main: 26.00 / 40.02 / 28.02 / 31.03.

Debug build with ASAN: 0 reports over 1800 constructions with a warning tsconfig and define errors.

Commits

One commit per cause, so that one can be backed out: the four methods, logLevel, FileSystemRouter, Worker, constructor. The merge of main (5441d85) moved the FileSystemRouter change into load_router.

set_log re-pointed three of the four raw pointers to the Log and left options.log unchanged. The Bun.Transpiler constructor builds its Log on the stack, moves it into a Box and calls set_log. configure_defines then logged through options.log into the moved-from stack slot. When the Log already held a message, the stale copy shared the Vec buffer with the live Log and freed it on growth: new Bun.Transpiler({ external: ["a*b*c"], define: { "0x": "1", "1x": "1", "2x": "1", "3x": "1" } }) is a use-after-free in Log::clear_and_free when the transpiler is collected. A define value that is not JSON lost its parser message for the same reason.

transformSync, transform, scan and scanImports threw the log whenever it held a message, so a parser warning (a legacy HTML comment, a JSX key after a spread, a write to a getter-only private name) became the thrown value and the call returned nothing. LogJsc::errors_to_js is the one conversion from a Log to a value to throw. It returns None when the errors counter is zero. The four methods call it. A failure that logs nothing keeps its generic error. Carries the change of #42433 and adds the failure-path selectors.

The level of the `logLevel` option reached the per-call log of transform and transformSync only. scan, scanImports, the scan pass of the bundler cache and the JSON cache of the resolver made a log at the level of the process, and the `tsconfig` and `macro` options were parsed before the option was read. At logLevel "error" a warning was still recorded there and was thrown beside an error. Log::child() makes a log for messages that are appended to a parent later. It takes the level of the parent. The eight scratch logs on the Bun.Transpiler path use it. Config::from_js reads the options in the same order as before and parses the `tsconfig` and `macro` strings after `logLevel` is applied. Carries the change of #42430.

The constructor threw its log when it held any message. The log also receives what the resolver logs the first time it reads the routes directory, so a warning in a tsconfig.json there failed the first `new FileSystemRouter()` and the second one returned. The constructor now asks LogJsc::errors_to_js.

flush_logs sent the VM log to the parent as the worker's 'error' event whenever the log held a message. A warning that the resolver logs while the worker thread resolves its entry (a tsconfig.json beside it, for example) fired 'error' twice although the worker ran. A node:worker_threads parent with no 'error' listener ended with exit code 1. flush_logs now asks LogJsc::errors_to_js, so it reports the log only when its errors counter is above zero.

… throw The constructor threw its log when the `tsconfig` or `macro` option logged any message, so an option with only a warning (an unsupported `moduleSuffixes`, an invalid `jsxFactory`, a duplicate JSON key) could not construct a transpiler. `bun run` and `bun build` accept a tsconfig.json with the same content. The three constructor sites ask LogJsc::errors_to_js. A warning stays in the log of the transpiler: when a later step fails, for example a `define` value that is not JSON, the thrown AggregateError holds it beside the error.

Status: ready for review. Main at 4f7acde is merged in (4a15e11). The merge had three conflicts in JSTranspiler.rs, all on the lines that create the per-call log. #46021 landed the change of #45045, so this branch no longer carries it.

The two commits on top of the merge are test-only (the head is dda3fa5). The bunfig.toml logLevel test now runs all four methods. The new tests that spawn a process run concurrently.

How it was reproduced:

const t = new Bun.Transpiler({ loader: "jsx" });
for (const fn of ["transformSync", "transform", "scan", "scanImports"]) {
  try {
    await t[fn]('export default <div {...obj} key="k" />;');
    console.log(fn, "ok");
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(fn, "throws", e.name, e.level, e.message);
  }
}

bun 1.4.3, bun 1.3.14 and a release build of main: the four calls throw a BuildMessage with level: "warn". A line that starts with --> does the same.
With this change: the four calls return.
Also on main: new Bun.Transpiler({ tsconfig: { compilerOptions: { moduleSuffixes: [".ios"] } } }) throws the warning, the first new FileSystemRouter() over a tsconfig.json with a warning throws, and a node:worker_threads parent with no error listener exits 1 when a warning-only tsconfig.json is beside the worker entry. With this change none of them fails.

CI on dda3fa5: Buildkite #136229 passed, 188 of 188 jobs.

Checked against main at cdfa19b (25 commits ahead, with #47871 in src/jsc/web_worker.rs and #44833 in four other files of this PR):

A local merge of main into this branch has no conflict and builds.
On that tree (debug build with ASAN) these files pass: transpiler.test.js (337 pass), filesystem_router.test.ts (52), worker-entry-point.test.ts (3), worker_threads.test.ts (165) and worker.test.ts (44).
The merge is not pushed. The branch is mergeable as it is.

Walkthrough

Transpiler operations now allow warning-only diagnostics without throwing. Log levels apply to configuration parsing, and error conversion is shared by Transpiler, worker, and filesystem-router paths.

Changes

Diagnostic reporting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Log inheritance and diagnostic conversion `src/ast/lib.rs`, `src/jsc/lib.rs`, `src/bundler/cache.rs`, `src/resolver/tsconfig_json.rs`	Added child logs that retain the parent log level and optional JavaScript conversion for logs with errors. Bundler and resolver parsing now use child logs.
Transpiler diagnostic handling `packages/bun-types/bun.d.ts`, `src/runtime/api/JSTranspiler.rs`, `test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js`	Transpiler configuration parsing now follows log-level processing. Operations use error diagnostics for thrown values. Tests cover warning-only operations, warning/error aggregation, and log-level precedence.
Worker and route error reporting `src/jsc/web_worker.rs`, `src/runtime/api/filesystem_router.rs`, `test/js/node/worker_threads/worker_threads.test.ts`, `test/js/web/workers/worker-entry-point.test.ts`, `test/js/bun/util/filesystem_router.test.ts`	Worker log flushing and filesystem-router construction now use error diagnostics to decide whether to dispatch or throw. Tests cover warning-only configurations and errors.

Suggested reviewers: dylan-conway

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 4a15e

Warning-only diagnostics no longer cause these APIs to fail. No actionable merge-blocking regression remains; additional async log-level coverage and the existing router reload inconsistency can be handled as follow-ups.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the hoisted errors_to_js gates in scan, transformSync and scanImports (src/runtime/api/JSTranspiler.rs): moving the gate above the None-result / Err(scan_result) branches is behavior-preserving, since the old code threw the same to_js value from both arms whenever the log held messages. The async then arm keeps the prior priority of log messages over self.err, and the transpose() still routes an Err from building the error value into reject_with_async_stack as before.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces thirteen warnings + errors > 0 gates across Bun.Transpiler, FileSystemRouter and the worker VM log flush with a new LogJsc::errors_to_js, adds Log::child() for level-inheriting scratch logs, re-points options.log in Transpiler::set_log, and defers tsconfig/macro parsing in Config::from_js until after logLevel is read. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface. Four confirmed findings are posted inline, so a human look is already signalled; this note only records the gate reordering and the async rejection path that were traced and ruled out.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

🟣 src/jsc/web_worker.rs — The parent VM's transpiler log pointers can point at a moved-from stack slot during preload resolution, so a preload resolve error is written to dead stack memory and the message reported to the user is built from an empty log. src/jsc/web_worker.rs:312 calls set_log(&raw mut temp_log); line 316 then moves temp_log by value into scopeguard::guard, so transpiler.log, resolver.log, linker.log and now options.log (src/bundler/transpiler.rs:72) keep the old address. Fix: pin the log before publishing its address, e.g. build the guard first and call set_log(&raw mut *restore), so every alias points at the slot that lives.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: new Worker(url, { preload: ["./x"] }) or node:worker_threads with a preload that fails to resolve, on a build where the move at src/jsc/web_worker.rs:316 is not elided. At web_worker.rs:307 temp_log is a stack local; :312 publishes its address into the parent transpiler through set_log (which after this PR also writes options.log, transpiler.rs:72); :316 moves the value into the scopeguard and :321 rebinds temp_log to the guard's slot. resolve_entry_point_specifier (web_worker.rs:1332) calls transpiler.resolve_entry_point, which logs through self.log/resolver.log — the stale address — while web_worker.rs:1338 reads log.to_js from the guard's slot, which is empty, so to_js returns UNDEFINED (src/jsc/lib.rs:1395) and the error text becomes undefined. The diff adds a fourth alias to the same stale address. Remedy: create the guard first and pass &raw mut *restore to set_log, or heap-allocate the temp log.

Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: new Worker(entry, { preload: ["./missing.js"] }) on any build where the move at web_worker.rs:316 is not elided. Nothing re-calls set_log with the new address. The code at 307-321 is in the base unchanged, so the base fails the same way by the same route. No test in the suite exercises a non-resolving preload.

🟡 (optional) Users who pass a tsconfig or macro option that is only partly valid now get a Transpiler that silently ignores that part, with no signal anywhere. JSTranspiler.rs:963-968 continues when config.log holds only warnings, and nothing later prints or exposes them. So jsxFactory: "1abc", an invalid paths pattern or a non-package macro key are dropped together with their warning; the base threw it. Fix: give a surviving warning an outlet at the configured level, for the constructor and the four methods alike, e.g. print config.log warnings to stderr as bun build does or return them. The PR calls this an accepted downside; sized, it turns a loud misconfiguration into silent wrong output.

Why this was flagged

A caller constructs new Bun.Transpiler({ tsconfig: { compilerOptions: { jsxFactory: "1abc" } } }) or { macro: { "./rel": { x: "y" } } }. In Config::from_js the parse at JSTranspiler.rs:604-610 / 616-622 logs only a warning and the option is left unapplied (factory stays the default, the remap is skipped). The gate at JSTranspiler.rs:963-968 calls errors_to_js, which returns None because errors == 0 (src/jsc/lib.rs:1416), so construction continues. The warnings sit in config.log until Drop runs clear_and_free at JSTranspiler.rs:1074; no code path prints them and no API returns them. The new test at test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js:2884-2916 asserts stderr is "" for all twelve warning-only configs. On the base branch the same constructor threw Failed to create transpiler carrying the warning, so the user learned the option was ignored. After this change Bun.Transpiler is the only transpile API where a warning has no outlet at any logLevel.

Verification: Triggering condition: any new Bun.Transpiler({...}) whose tsconfig or macro option logs only a warning. The constructor gate at JSTranspiler.rs:963-968 calls errors_to_js, which returns Ok(None) when !self.has_errors(), so construction proceeds and nothing reads, prints or exposes config.log afterwards. On the base, these inputs threw a BuildMessage carrying the warning.

This is decision 2 in the Notes and it is open for a maintainer. An earlier version of this change printed the warnings of the tsconfig and macro options to stderr at construction (one write, none at logLevel: "error"). I removed it for three reasons. No other JS API of bun prints a log. It would be the only stderr promise in bun-types. A later change that returns warnings as data would have to keep the print or break it. If a maintainer wants an outlet now, the print is about ten lines in the constructor. I leave this thread open for that decision.

set_log also runs when WebWorker::create restores a saved transpiler.log. The module loader swaps transpiler.log, linker.log and resolver.log to a per-call log with direct field writes and does not touch options.log. With the write in set_log, a worker created while a per-call log is swapped in would leave options.log of the VM transpiler on that log after it is freed. The constructor is the one caller that moves its Log after Transpiler::init, so it sets options.log next to its set_log call. set_log is as it was.

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 new transpiler.options.log = &raw mut config.log write in JSTranspiler.rs: it is taken after config is moved into the Box, so it points at the heap-stable field that shares the transpiler's owner, and moving it out of set_log and into the constructor keeps the module-loader log swaps in jsc_hooks.rs / AsyncModule.rs from touching options.log. The TransformTask::then rewrite settles the promise on every arm (errors, bare err, warnings-only resolve), so no path leaves it pending.

Extended reasoning...

The branch changes a user-visible default (Bun.Transpiler, FileSystemRouter and Worker no longer fail on warning-only logs) and the author lists two maintainer decisions, so a human should weigh in on the API change itself. The raw-pointer lifetime and the promise-settlement paths were examined and ruled out as defects.

#45203 changes when a worker reports its VM log. spin() calls flush_logs only on the paths that end the worker, and a worker that runs drops its log (warnings and errors).

worker: fire 'error' for the VM log only when the worker fails #45203 does not change flush_logs, so the two PRs do not conflict in src/.
The two Worker tests of this PR pass on worker: fire 'error' for the VM log only when the worker fails #45203 unchanged.
The two PRs conflict in worker-entry-point.test.ts and worker_threads.test.ts, because both append tests there.
After worker: fire 'error' for the VM log only when the worker fails #45203, the Worker part of this PR matters only on the paths that end the worker.

Follow-up Comments

Apply the same logged-error check to disk reloads.

135-139: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Apply the same logged-error check to disk reloads.

reload() loads with Load::FromDisk, which skips the error-log check that Load::Cached applies. A duplicate route logs an error and is dropped, but reload() still installs the router without it. This gap predates this PR, which only narrows the Load::Cached check. Decide whether disk reloads should reject route errors, then apply the check to both loads.

Update the logged-error guard in the route-loading flow to apply to both

Add an async transform() case to the bunfig log-level test.

2941-2943: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add an async transform() case to the bunfig log-level test.

The bunfig fixture at test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js:2923-2970 calls only transformSync() and the constructor. The async transform() path does not run with logLevel unset under a bunfig.toml value of "error". A change that stops the async task log from inheriting the process level would not fail this test.

Add an awaited transform() call in the same fixture, with logLevel unset. Assert the same outcome as the sync call. Capture the rejection from the awaited call, because async transform() rejects when it reports errors.

The test ran transformSync only. It now also runs transform, scan and scanImports under logLevel = "error" in bunfig.toml, with and without the logLevel option.

robobun · 2026-10-31T21:44:13Z

The review summary lists two follow-ups. Both have an answer.

Log level coverage for the async path. e588482 is a test-only commit. It extends the option wins over logLevel in bunfig.toml in transpiler.test.js. The fixture runs with logLevel = "error" in bunfig.toml. It now calls the constructor, transformSync, transform, scan and scanImports, each with and without the logLevel option. Without the source change three rows fail at logLevel: "warn": the constructor, scan and scanImports drop the warning. transformSync and transform already followed the option.

FileSystemRouter.reload(). Not changed in this PR. On main the constructor checks the log after a load that succeeds, and reload() does not (Load::FromDisk skips that check). This PR changes what the check of the constructor tests (an error, not any message) and leaves reload() as it is. #34614 is the open PR that makes reload() report route-load errors. The Notes list it under Follow-ups: its check must use errors_to_js, or a warning fails reload().

The four tests join the concurrent group beside them. In transpiler.test.js the define test moves up so that the five spawns are adjacent.
