Fixes #45629, fixes #45020

Problem

  • Inside await expect(p).resolves or .rejects, each setImmediate hop waits for the poll when any handle is open: 10 hops take 6 to 7 s, under 1 ms with a plain await. A wait that is the first await of a file returns about 1 s late.
  • EventLoop::wait_for_promise (src/jsc/event_loop.rs) ticks under the caller's frame and inherits entered_event_loop_count, so each callback it dispatches is nested and exit_maybe_drain_microtasks skips its checkpoint. The next setImmediate is queued only after auto_tick picked its poll deadline. When a checkpoint settles the promise, auto_tick still parks.

Fix

  • The wait runs as a loop of its own: the caller's entries are set aside while it runs. Every callback it dispatches checkpoints as at the top of the loop, in node's order, for every caller (matchers, Bun.build plugins, macros, bake, REPL, lint).
  • The wait owns its turn: auto_tick_while_pending runs the immediates, reads the promise, and once it settled polls with a zero timeout instead of the next-timer deadline. The rest of the turn (timers due, rejections) runs as before. auto_tick is the same two phases, inlined.
  • bun lint's plugin driver, the REPL and the entry point watcher loops use the same wait.
  • Verified: test/js/bun/test/expect.test.js (three new tests), bun_test.test.ts (one), the first three fail on main. Also the timers, bun:test, bundler plugin, lint plugin, macro, bake, hot, watch and REPL suites.
  • Self-reviewed: 16 concerns raised, 16 addressed. The first shape woke the loop before a nested turn only. The review found the count 0 wait (expect(promise).resolves/.rejects stalls up to ~1 s per setImmediate hop: the nested event loop blocks in the poll after running immediates #45020 shape A) still parked. This shape reads the promise instead.

Background

Downsides

  • Every wait reads the promise once more per turn, the entry module's top-level await included: 10000 turns with Bun.serve open, 748 to 816 ms vs 1143 to 1751 ms on main, inside the noise. 0 syscalls added.
  • Inside a wait, a callback's reactions now run before the next callback (node's order). Code that relied on imm1, imm2, micro inside expect().resolves sees the change.
  • Size not measured: no bloaty and no release build of the base here.
Notes

Measurements, debug builds of main (d0831bc9fe) and this branch, Linux x64, /proc/self/io and voluntary_ctxt_switches from /proc/self/status:

  • 10 setImmediate hops inside expect().resolves with a listening net server, nested: main 4429 to 5973 ms, 40 to 88 voluntary context switches. Branch: 1.8 to 2.4 ms, 0 context switches. No syscall count changed.
  • 10 hops inside .rejects: main 5191 ms, 88 context switches. Branch: 6.6 ms, 0.
  • The same wait as the first await of a file (count 0): main 990 ms total for 0.1 ms of hops. Branch: 17 ms total.
  • Top-level await main() with Bun.serve({port: 0}) open, 10000 hops: 0 write(2) on both, 5 to 8 read(2) on both.

The reporter's file (repro.test.js from #45629) on the branch: [child process] plain await 36.2ms | inside expect().resolves 9.6ms | inside expect().rejects 2.0ms, [tcp server] plain 90.8ms | resolves 1.2ms | rejects 1.2ms. The #45020 file: shape A settle->expect returns 0 to 3ms (main 984 ms), shape B slowest hop 0 to 4ms (main 896 ms), all 5 rounds of both.

Why the first test body of a file is at count 0: the runner calls it through run_callback_with_result_and_forcefully_drain_microtasks without an entry. Every later test body starts from a tick() task, which holds count 1, and a body that has awaited anything continues inside a checkpoint, also at count 1.

The first push ended the turn right after the immediates once the promise settled. That starved timers and the rejection report for a test body that loops on matcher waits, and moved a due timer behind the next immediate for an entry module whose last top-level await an immediate settles. The turn now runs in full with a zero-timeout poll: timer, immediate as on main and in node, and a loop of 500 immediate-settled waits beside a 10 ms timer ends after about 20.

wait_for_promise_while gives the lint driver the execution_forbidden checks it did not have. A stop there now returns an error instead of spinning.

Siblings: #45029 (by the reporter of #45020) makes auto_tick not block after a batch of immediates ran. It fixes both shapes of #45020 but keeps the nested checkpoint order and adds a poll per batch to every program. #39268 passes the promise into auto_tick and runs a checkpoint there. #43356 enters the loop around test callbacks and suspends that entry for matcher waits. Its RunnerEntry::suspend is not needed with this change. #33261 and #33289 remove the nested wait from matchers. The entry point, macro, plugin and REPL waits stay, and this change is what makes those correct.

Walkthrough

The change adds conditional promise waits and promise-aware event-loop ticks. Runtime and test-runner paths use the new wait behavior. Regression tests cover matcher waits involving immediate callbacks, timers, microtasks, and open server handles.

Changes

Pending Promise Waits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conditional event-loop wait
src/jsc/event_loop.rs
Adds Waited::Settled and Waited::GaveUp. wait_for_promise delegates to wait_for_promise_while, which can stop when its predicate returns false and restores the caller’s entered-loop count.
Pending-aware runtime tick
src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs, src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs
Adds a VM runtime hook that receives the pending promise. The runtime separates immediate processing from polling and timer handling, and skips blocking poll work when immediate processing settles the promise. Watcher-enabled load paths use the new hook.
Runtime wait integration
src/runtime/cli/lint_js.rs, src/runtime/cli/repl.rs
The test runner and REPL use conditional promise waiting. The test runner reports when the script stops before settlement, while the REPL stops when SIGINT_DURING_WAIT is set.
Matcher timing regression coverage
test/js/bun/test/bun_test.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/expect.test.js
Tests cover callback and microtask ordering, repeated immediate hops, timer behavior, open server handles, and a spawned test whose first await is a matcher wait.

Explanation

The changes satisfy the coding requirements in [#45629] and [#45020]. wait_for_promise_while sets aside caller entries, dispatches callbacks as an independent loop, checks promise settlement after each tick, and invokes auto_tick_while_pending only while the promise remains pending. The runtime hook reads the promise after immediate callbacks and uses a zero-timeout poll after settlement. The added matcher tests cover .resolves, .rejects, open handles, first-await waits, microtask ordering, and timer progress. The reported bun_test.test.ts test covers the first-await case.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within the linked promise-wait scope. The shared wait helper updates lint plugins, the REPL, preload and entry-point watcher waits, and related callers that use the same event-loop behavior. These changes support the same settlement, interruption, and callback-ordering fix. The supplied whole-PR summary identifies no unrelated product or test changes.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked three things and ruled them out: the core::mem::replace of entered_event_loop_count in wait_for_promise_while is restored on both the Settled/GaveUp and Err(Stopped) returns, so a caller's entries are never lost; the --hot reload path in VirtualMachine.rs cannot leave auto_tick_while_pending reading a released promise cell, since the pending check and the tick run under the same Strong; and the split of auto_tick into run_immediates + poll_and_drain_timers preserves the base's ordering and the has_yielded_tasks handoff for the plain auto_tick path.

Extended reasoning...

The change reworks the synchronous promise wait in src/jsc/event_loop.rs, adds a RuntimeHooks slot and auto_tick_while_pending in src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs and src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs, and rewires the lint plugin driver's wait in src/runtime/cli/lint_js.rs; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Five confirmed findings are posted inline (the skipped turn tail after an immediate settles the promise, the untouched REPL sibling loop, missing lint coverage, and a wall-clock race in the new test), so a human should look; this note only records what else was examined.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

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

  • 🟣 src/runtime/cli/repl.rs — REPL users still get the stalled wait this change fixes elsewhere: an awaited expression that an immediate settles parks until unrelated I/O or a timer wakes the loop. The hand-rolled loop in wait_for_promise_or_sigint (src/runtime/cli/repl.rs:1110-1120) keeps calling auto_tick() after tick(), so once the immediates settle the promise it still polls, and it never sets the caller's entries aside. Fix: route every pending-promise spin through the new turn, here wait_for_promise_while(promise, || !SIGINT_DURING_WAIT.swap(false, AcqRel)) mapping GaveUp to the SIGINT return, so the REPL eval wait (repl.rs:1664, repl.rs:1961) gets the same checkpoint order and poll skip as matchers and bun lint. [also at: src/runtime/cli/lint_js.rs:285 - pre-existing: REPL users still get the parked poll this change removes everywhere else, because the REPL's own promise wait was not migrated.; src/jsc/event_loop.rs:1439 - pre-existing: REPL users still get the parked poll this PR removes elsewhere: await of a promise an immediate settles hangs in the REPL until unrelated I/O or a timer wakes the loop.]

    Why this was flagged

    A user at the bun repl prompt with an open handle (say Bun.serve({port:0})) evaluates await new Promise(r => setImmediate(r)). The eval result is a promise, so wait_for_promise_or_sigint at src/runtime/cli/repl.rs:1107 spins: tick() at repl.rs:1114, then auto_tick() at repl.rs:1118. auto_tick (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:946) runs the immediates, whose checkpoint resolves the promise, then unconditionally calls poll_and_drain_timers, which parks in the uSockets poll with the open server keeping the loop active and no timer deadline. The prompt does not return until some unrelated I/O or timer wakes the loop. This PR added auto_tick_while_pending (jsc_hooks.rs:962) and wait_for_promise_while (src/jsc/event_loop.rs:1179) to skip that poll, and converted the matcher waits and the bun lint driver (src/runtime/cli/lint_js.rs:285), but this sibling loop in the REPL was left on auto_tick(). On the base branch the REPL behaves the same, so this is a gap in the variant matrix of the fix; the PR description names the REPL as a covered caller.

    Verification: pre-existing (the base already stalls here by the same route). The interactive REPL eval paths (repl.rs:1664, repl.rs:1961) call the hand-rolled wait_for_promise_or_sigint (src/runtime/cli/repl.rs:1107-1122), which still does vm.as_mut().event_loop_mut().auto_tick(); (repl.rs:1118). auto_tick after the PR (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:946-951) is run_immediates followed by an unconditional poll_and_drain_timers.

A wait for a promise (expect().resolves, a bundler plugin hook, a macro)
ticks the event loop under the caller's frame. It inherited the caller's
enter count, so every callback it dispatched was nested and skipped its
microtask checkpoint. The reactions ran only at the next tick. An
immediate that resolved one hop left the next setImmediate unqueued when
the poll deadline was picked, so the poll blocked until something else
woke the loop, once per hop, whenever a handle was open.

The wait now sets the caller's entries aside while it runs and restores
them after. Callbacks it dispatches checkpoint as they do at the top of
the loop.

The wait also owns its turn. auto_tick runs the immediates, then polls.
When an immediate's checkpoint settles the promise, the wait is over,
and the poll would park on a deadline nothing in it waits for. The new
auto_tick_while_pending hook reads the promise between the two phases
and skips the poll once it has settled. auto_tick itself is the same
two phases, inlined.

The lint driver's hand-rolled wait and the watcher loops of the entry
point loaders move onto the same turn.
…ng early

The turn of a promise wait skipped the poll, the timers and the
rejection report once the immediates had settled the promise. A caller
that waits again before it returns to its loop then never ran a timer.
The turn now runs in full with a poll that returns at once.

The REPL's hand-rolled wait moves onto the shared one. The sentinel
timers in the tests widen to 2 s. A test covers a loop of waits that
immediates settle beside a pending timer.

Beyond the inline findings on the two new tests, I checked the reworked settled turn in src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs: auto_tick_while_pending now routes a settled promise through poll_and_drain_timers(.., no_park = true), so due timers, the after-loop callback and handle_rejected_promises still run on that turn and only the park is skipped. I also checked that wait_for_promise_while restores entered_event_loop_count on the Stopped and GaveUp paths (the restore is unconditional), and that the REPL's SIGINT check moving into keep_waiting keeps the same give-up points as the old loop.

Extended reasoning...

The change reworks EventLoop::wait_for_promise in src/jsc/event_loop.rs into a loop that sets the caller's enter count aside, adds an auto_tick_while_pending hook in src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs and src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs that skips the poll park once the immediates settle the promise, and rewires the lint and REPL waits onto it; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The two commits since the prior review address the earlier concern about the settled turn skipping timers and rejection reporting. The remaining inline findings concern timing assumptions in the two new tests, and the core event-loop ordering change is non-trivial enough that a maintainer should still weigh it.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

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 that entered_event_loop_count is restored on every exit of wait_for_promise_while (Settled, GaveUp and Err(Stopped) all pass through the single restore after wait_for_pending_promise returns), and that the remaining auto_tick() callers (wait_for_tasks, the test-runner and parallel-runner loops, AnyEventLoop) are not promise waits, so no sibling wait site was missed. The REPL's SIGINT check now runs after the first tick() instead of before it; the result is the same either way since a settled promise ends the wait regardless.

Extended reasoning...

The latest push runs the full turn with a zero-timeout poll on the settled branch, spawns the first-await fixture with the GC timer disabled, and bounds the immediate-settled loop by the clock, which covers the points raised on the earlier versions. The one surviving finding is a pre-existing stall in the mock.module factory wait, not introduced here.

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

  • 🟣 src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs — pre-existing: test files whose async mock.module factory takes two or more setImmediate hops still stall about 1 s before tests start when a handle is open. The pre-armed wakeup() at src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5845 only keeps the first auto_tick from parking. The later turns of the JSMock__hasPendingModulePatches loop in src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:3001-3004 call plain auto_tick(), whose checkpoint clears the patch and then parks on the next-timer deadline. Fix: make every wait that an immediate's checkpoint can settle poll without parking once it has settled, for this loop too, e.g. a check between the immediates and the poll, or wakeup() before each auto_tick() of that loop.

    Why this was flagged

    A test file opens a handle at top level (Bun.serve or net.createServer().listen) and calls mock.module("x", async () => { await hop(); await hop(); return {...} }) where hop is a promise settled by setImmediate. load_entry_point_for_test_runner (src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5811-5848) pre-arms the waker at :5845 and runs auto_tick at :5846: hop 1 runs, its checkpoint queues hop 2's immediate, and the poll returns at once. The loop at src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:3001-3004 sees JSMock__hasPendingModulePatches true and calls auto_tick(): hop 2 runs, its checkpoint resolves the factory and clears hasPendingPatch in the same drain. poll_and_drain_timers (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:1072-1123) then sees no immediates or tasks and parks on get_timeout's deadline with the loop active, until the GC repeating timer (about 1 s) or I/O wakes it. Only after that does the loop re-check the condition and start the tests. The base branch does the same, so this is the shape the PR fixes for wait_for_promise sites left as is at this sibling wait.

    Verification: pre-existing: the base has the same stall; the PR fixes this class but leaves this sibling untouched. src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:3002 calls plain auto_tick() while JSMock__hasPendingModulePatches is true; hop 2's checkpoint clears hasPendingPatch (BunPlugin.cpp:766-770), then poll_and_drain_timers (src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs:1072-1123) parks on the GC timer deadline, about 1 s.

Closing: #44833 (merged) settles .resolves and .rejects with promise reactions, so the matchers no longer run the event loop inside the call. The repro of #45629 takes 2 ms per 10 hops on main (3f3a9ff). That is the direction the maintainers chose (#33261). The remaining nested waits (Bun.build and Bun.serve plugin setup) have open PRs that remove the wait (#42680, #42862) instead of improving it.
