What does this PR do?

Fixes two aborts that 1.3.14 does not have. Both are panic: range start index N out of range for slice of length M in bun_ast::Source::range_of_string.

bun update --interactive aborts after it rewrites package.json and before it saves bun.lock.

  • Cause: save_package_json replaced the text of the package.json cache entry and kept the tree parsed from the old text. The install reads that entry, and a diagnostic with a position then uses an offset into the old text. The printer drops comments and writes LF, so a file with comments or CRLF line endings gets shorter and the offset is past its end.
  • It needs an install that does not save that file again first: a catalog row chosen from a member or with --filter, or a row under a --filter that reads the dependency graph (...a).
  • Fix: MapEntry::save is the only code that replaces an entry's text. It prints the tree, parses what it printed, and replaces the text and the tree together. bun update -i and every writer in bun_install call it. print_package_json_into_cache_entry and reparse_root are gone.

bun add in a workspace where two packages have the same name aborts instead of printing error: Workspace name "pkg1" already exists. --filter and --dry-run abort too, and bun remove reports the wrong line.

  • Cause: the error prints the file from disk, with a position from the cached tree, which already has the edit.
  • Fix: the error finds "name" in the text that it prints. WorkspaceMap::Entry::name_loc is gone.

Exit codes (134 is the abort):

Command File 1.3.14 1.4.3 main this PR
update -i in a member, catalog row CRLF root with a duplicate dependency 0 134 134 0
update -i --filter '...a', row of the root root with a comment and a duplicate dependency 0 134 134 0
update -i in a member, catalog row CRLF root, patchedDependencies key without a version 0 0 134 0
update -i in a member, catalog row CRLF root, overrides: {"a-dep": "catalog:"} with no catalog entry 0 0 134 0
update -i --filter '...a', row of a member CRLF member with patchedDependencies 0 0 134 0
add no-deps in a member two members with the same name 1 134 134 1

Two error paths change. I found no input that reaches either.

  • yarn.lock migration: a failed save of an edited package.json exits, as in the pnpm migration. On main a failed re-parse returned InvalidPackageJSON, and the install went on with a cached tree that pointed into a freed arena.
  • unchanged_on_disk: if the file on disk cannot be printed for the comparison, package.json is written. On main the command exited after it saved bun.lock.

Not in this PR: bun update -i still writes package.json itself, before the install. With --no-save or a failed install the file stays rewritten. #45812 adds the same MapEntry::save and will conflict.

How did you verify your code works?

  • 3 new tests in test/cli/update_interactive_install.test.ts and 1 in test/cli/install/bun-workspaces.test.ts. All 4 fail on a debug build of main (f2de590) and pass with this PR.
  • 23 shapes of the two bugs, run against a local registry: 11 abort on main, none with this PR, and each reported position matches the file.
  • 145 runs that work on main (install, add, remove, update, update -i, yarn and pnpm migration, over LF, CRLF, tab, comment and minified files): exit code, output and all 424 package.json and bun.lock files are identical between debug builds of main and this PR.

… text

`bun update --interactive` replaced the text of a workspace package.json
cache entry and kept the old tree. The install then read positions of the
old text in the new text. When the saved text is shorter (the file had
comments or CRLF line endings), that aborts:
"range start index 4215 out of range for slice of length 199".

MapEntry::save prints the tree, parses what it printed, then replaces the
text and the tree together. `bun update -i`, store_entry, the cwd entry of
add, remove and update, `bun add --catalog` and the pnpm and yarn
migrations call it, through save_entry where a failure ends the command.
unchanged_on_disk compares the printed bytes and changes no entry.

reparse_root and print_package_json_into_cache_entry are removed.
stale_contents is private to the cache module.
…rints

`bun add` edits its cache entry of the member before the install. The
duplicate-name error took the position of "name" from that entry and
printed the file from disk, so the position could be past the end of the
text: "range start index 78 out of range for slice of length 67".

The error now finds "name" in the text that it prints.
WorkspaceMap::Entry::name_loc is removed.

Status: ready for review. #46394

How I reproduced it:

  1. A workspace root with CRLF line endings (or a comment), a-dep in both dependencies and devDependencies, and "catalog": { "no-deps": "^1.0.0" }. A member depends on "no-deps": "catalog:".
  2. Run bun install. Then run bun update --interactive in the member, press l and Enter.
  3. main rewrites package.json and aborts in bun_ast::Source::range_of_string with panic: range start index N out of range for slice of length M (exit 134). The numbers depend on the file. bun.lock does not change. 1.3.14 and this PR exit 0 and save bun.lock.

Second case: two members have the same name. Run bun add no-deps in one of them. main aborts with panic: range start index 78 out of range for slice of length 67. This PR prints error: Workspace name "pkg1" already exists and exits 1.

Walkthrough

Package JSON edits now use a cache-entry save path that prints and reparses updated trees. Package-manager and interactive update flows use this path. Duplicate workspace diagnostics obtain package-name locations from on-disk manifests.

Changes

Package JSON lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache-entry print and save
src/install/PackageManager/WorkspacePackageJSONCache.rs, src/install/PackageManager/updatePackageJSONAndInstall.rs, src/install/error.rs
MapEntry now prints and saves replacement roots, retains prior source buffers, and returns printer or parse errors. save_entry uses this save path.
Package-manager save callers
src/install/PackageManager/add_catalog.rs, src/install/PackageManager/add_remove_with_filter.rs, src/install/PackageManager/package_json_write_back.rs, src/install/pnpm.rs, src/install/yarn_berry.rs
Package and lockfile update flows use save_entry or MapEntry::save. unchanged_on_disk prints the on-disk package JSON and compares it with cached contents.
Interactive update saves and tests
src/runtime/cli/update_interactive_command.rs, test/cli/update_interactive_install.test.ts
Interactive package and catalog updates pass an AST log into package JSON loading and saving. Tests cover workspace updates, manifest positions, lockfile contents, and patched-dependency diagnostics.
Duplicate workspace name positions
src/install/lockfile/Package.rs, src/install/lockfile/Package/WorkspaceMap.rs, test/cli/install/bun-workspaces.test.ts
Workspace entries no longer store cached name locations. Duplicate-name diagnostics locate names in on-disk manifests, with a regression test for positions after an in-memory edit.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3fc10

Deeply nested Yarn package.json edits can still crash the process instead of reporting an install error; the localized edge case should be fixed before relying on this path.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked that MapEntry::save leaves an entry's text and tree untouched when the re-parse of the printed bytes fails (both are swapped only after clone_out_of_store succeeds, and the old buffer is pinned in stale_contents), and that unchanged_on_disk now compares a reprint without mutating the entry — neither path reintroduces the stale-Loc mismatch this PR fixes.

Extended reasoning...

The change collapses the print-then-reparse protocol for cached package.json entries into MapEntry::save in src/install/PackageManager/WorkspacePackageJSONCache.rs, migrates six writers to it, and makes the duplicate-workspace-name error re-locate "name" in the on-disk text; it touches no auth, crypto, or injection surface. The one inline finding concerns the yarn berry migration's in-place tree edits surviving a failed print, which is why a human look is still warranted.

I re-reviewed the latest push and found no bugs; the follow-up commits address the yarn.lock migration path I flagged earlier (it now goes through save_entry and exits like the other writers). Because this consolidates six package.json writers behind one call that re-points the cached tree at a new buffer, a maintainer look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • MapEntry::save ordering: the printed Vec is moved into source.contents after the cloned tree is built against it, so the heap buffer root points into does not move, and the old buffer stays pinned in stale_contents.
  • unchanged_on_disk is now side-effect free on a throwaway cache and treats a print failure as "write it", which only ever touched a local entry before.
  • name_range_on_disk re-parses the file read from disk with a local log and resolves the key loc to the value loc, matching the 1:9 / 5:11 positions the new workspace test asserts; name_loc, reparse_root, print_package_json_into_cache_entry and the public stale_contents have no remaining consumers.
  • The let log = manager.log_mut() / &mut manager pattern in update_interactive_command.rs relies on log_mut returning an unbounded &'a mut Log, which is how store_entry already uses it.
Extended reasoning...

The diff replaces the two-step print-then-reparse pattern at six package manager call sites (add, add --catalog, filtered add/remove, pnpm and yarn berry migrations, update --interactive) with MapEntry::save, adds an Error::JsPrinter variant, and makes the duplicate-workspace-name diagnostic re-parse the on-disk file instead of using a cached loc. It touches no auth, crypto or input-trust surface; the sensitive part is pointer lifetime between the cached AST and the text buffer it borrows, which the new save keeps correct by moving rather than reallocating the printed Vec. Four new subprocess tests cover the CRLF and comment-shrinking crash shapes and the duplicate-name position. The earlier inline finding on yarn_berry.rs was fixed in commit 37beb0d and the thread was resolved by a non-author maintainer; no CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed paths. Deferral rather than approval is because this is a behavior-touching refactor across install's core write path with arena/Store lifetime invariants, where maintainers are already engaged.

CI on 3fc10b9 (#130556): 176 jobs pass, the darwin test jobs are still waiting for an agent, and 1 job fails. That failure is not from this PR, and the job needs a retry, which I cannot do.

Failing job: debian 13 x64-asan - test-bun, shard 10. test/cli/run/require-cache.test.ts > via require() with a lot of function calls hits its 60 s timeout on all 4 attempts.

Why it is not this PR's:

  • The agent was slow. The 10 longest files of that shard took 529 s in total. The same shard took 315 s on #130370 and 343 s on #130529, the two earlier builds of this PR. Files that share nothing with this diff slowed down too: cli/lint/config-files 165 s to 262 s, valkey 18 s to 24 s, transpiler 8 s to 15 s.
  • The test has little margin on ASAN. The file took 48.6 s and 53.5 s on those two builds, against the 60 s limit.
  • The test runs require() in a loop. The diff changes bun_install, bun update -i and two install test files. Since #130529, where this test passed, the only source changes are two error paths in yarn_berry.rs and package_json_write_back.rs.
  • The file is already in test/flaky-tests.txt.

The earlier failures are fixed. bun-workspaces.test.ts failed on Linux x64, Linux x64 ASAN, Windows x64 and Windows aarch64 because the new test assumed an order for packages/*. Two members with the same name keep the order that the directory lists them in, and that order decides which file gets the error and which gets the note. The test now lists both members explicitly, and it passes on all four.
