What does this PR do?

The mode option of Bun.write is only used when copying a file or for an empty source. When writing bytes, WriteFile opens the destination through the FileOpener trait, which always passes DEFAULT_PERMISSION to open(2):

await Bun.write("/tmp/o3.txt", "x", { mode: 0o600 });
fs.statSync("/tmp/o3.txt").mode & 0o777; // bun 1.4.4: 0o644 (umask 022), expected 0o600

FileOpener gets an open_mode() (defaulting to DEFAULT_PERMISSION, so ReadFile and the others are unchanged), WriteFile stores the option and overrides it. As with open(2), the mode only applies to a file that is created. The Windows path (WriteFileWindows) is not changed.

How did you verify your code works?

  • Added a test to test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js (a string, a typed array and a Blob written with mode: 0o600).
  • With bun 1.4.4 the test fails.
  • I could not build Bun locally (no Rust toolchain on this machine), so I have not run bun bd test on this change, and the Rust is uncompiled.

WriteFile opened the destination with DEFAULT_PERMISSION whatever the mode option.

Walkthrough

The non-Windows write path now passes an optional mode to POSIX file creation. A test checks that writes from strings, byte arrays, and Blobs create files with the requested permission bits.

Changes

POSIX file creation modes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pass mode into WriteFile
src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, src/runtime/webcore/blob/write_file.rs
The write path passes options.mode to WriteFile::create. WriteFile stores the optional mode and provides a default through FileOpener.
Use and verify mode on POSIX opens
src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, test/js/bun/io/bun-write.test.js
The POSIX open path uses open_mode(). The test checks permission bits for files written from strings, byte arrays, and Blobs.

Bun.write with a mode option still creates files with default permissions for short strings and byte arrays, so the fix is incomplete and may leave files more permissive than requested. Pass the mode to the fast-write helpers, or skip the fast path when a mode is set, before merging.

The description includes both required sections. It explains the cause, implementation, platform scope, test coverage, and verification limits. It also states that the Rust code was not compiled because the author lacked a Rust toolchain.

Honor options.mode in the short-write fast path.

When the destination is a path and the input is a short string or byte array, this branch runs before the new WriteFile::create handoff. Both fast-write helpers create files with WRITE_PERMISSIONS (0o664), not options.mode. With umask 0o022, a requested mode of 0o600 therefore creates a 0o644 file and fails the new string and byte-array assertions. Pass the mode to both helpers, or bypass the fast path when options.mode.is_some(). (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Thank you for this change. #32885 covers the same option and is rebased onto main as of today. One gap here, read from the diff and not run: a string or a typed array under 256 KiB does not reach WriteFile, because write_file_internal sends it to write_string_to_file_fast or write_bytes_to_file_fast (Blob.rs), so the repro in the description and the first two rows of the new test still give 0644. A maintainer can decide which of the two pull requests to keep.
