install: make the bin targets of a symlink-backend install executable by robobun · Pull Request #46799 · oven-sh/bun

robobun · 2026-10-24T19:46:14Z

Fixes #46777

Problem

bun install --backend symlink creates node_modules/.bin/<name>, but running it fails with Permission denied. The file in the cache stays mode 0644. Bun 1.2.20 made it executable.
The cause is Linker::make_executable (src/install/bin.rs): it sets the mode with sys::lchmod, which returns EOPNOTSUPP for a symlink on Linux and changes the link itself on macOS. The symlink backend fills node_modules/<pkg> with symlinks into the cache, so the real file never gets the mode.

Fix

PackageInstaller::link_tree_bins runs a chmod-only pass of the bin linker on the tree that a symlink-backend install points into: the package's cache entry (patched entries included), or the file: folder. The pass runs before the link into node_modules, so the link then sees a file with the right mode. It also runs on a repeat install, so a node_modules left behind by an older bun heals.
bun patch already ran this pass on the cache entry, through a temporary link directory. That code is now bin::make_bins_executable, shared by both callers, and the temporary directory is gone.
The linker still never follows a link out of node_modules/<pkg>, the rule Hardening: input validation and bounds tightening across 36 subsystems (round 4) #31339 set. The mode is set where the files are written.
Verified: test/regression/issue/46777.test.ts (8 cases, all fail on 1.4.3) and test/cli/install/bun-install-native-binlink.test.ts (2 new symlink-backend cases). Also symlink-path-traversal, bun-patch, bun-install-patch, bun-install-android-seccomp, bun-install-backends, bunx-directories-bin. bun run rust:check-all: 12 targets ok.

Background

The hoisted installer has four backends. hardlink (default on Linux) and clonefile (macOS) put real files in node_modules/<pkg>, so a chmod there reaches the package's file. symlink puts one symlink per file, pointing into the cache entry.
Hardening: input validation and bounds tightening across 36 subsystems (round 4) #31339 changed the chmod to lchmod so a package cannot ship a bin entry that is a symlink to a file outside the package and get that file chmodded. An earlier attempt at this bug (install: make bins of symlink-installed packages executable #38777) followed the installer's link into the cache and was declined for that.
Considered a realpath and chmod fallback in make_executable (the shape of fix(install): resolve and chmod cached binary target when symlink lchmod returns unsupported #46781): its cache boundary comes from the environment and not from the configured cache directory (--cache-dir, bunfig, BUN_INSTALL), and it follows the link out of the package. Setting the mode at the source needs no follow.
A bin target that is itself a symlink inside a package (bin/cli.js -> ../lib/cli.js in a file: folder) is a separate case: install: make the file behind an in-package symlinked bin target executable #46812, stacked on this PR.

Downsides

Default backend: no new work. Measured on 100 local tarball packages with one bin each (50 of them 0644): named syscalls per install are identical, totals within run noise (first install 8037 vs 8000, repeat 2303 vs 2296).
Symlink backend: the pass costs about 9 syscalls per bin on a first install and about 5.5 on a repeat install (7891 to 8815 and 2550 to 3099 over 100 bins): a stat, the containment check and the shebang read on the cache file.
Binary size and wall clock are not measured: no bloaty or hyperfine in the build container, and no release build of the merge base. The change adds about 150 lines of Rust.

Notes

Self-reviewed: 8 concerns raised, 7 addressed (the PR was split in two, the cache path now comes from PackageManager::cache_directory_path, tests were added for the CRLF shebang, directories.bin, a scoped package, a patched package and the native binlink redirect). Rejected: a shared open_beneath helper, which belongs with the follow-up PR.
The syscall counts come from a small ptrace counter (strace is not available in the build container), over bun install --linker=hoisted [--backend=symlink] with a fresh cache, debug builds of the merge base and this branch.
file:. resolves as root: and is installed as a directory symlink, so its bin target is a regular file and was never affected.
On HEAD, a symlink in a file: folder that points outside the folder but inside the project becomes a hardlink in node_modules (lay_folder_links, Fix 7 regressions since 1.4.3 in bun install, bunx, bun patch, bun pm pack and bun: imports #46455). The bin linker sees a regular file there. Not changed here.

The bin linker sets the mode of a bin target with lchmod, which does not reach the file behind a symlink. A package installed with --backend symlink has only symlinks into the cache in node_modules, so its bins stayed 0644 and node_modules/.bin/<name> failed with EACCES. The files in the tree that the install points into (the cache entry or the file: folder) get the mode at link time, through a chmod-only pass of the linker, the same pass that bun patch already runs on the cache entry. A bin target that is a symlink inside the package is opened beneath the package directory and fchmodded. A link that leaves the package is still skipped.

Should I close #46781 ?

robobun · 2026-10-24T20:02:45Z

That is your call. This PR fixes the same bug on Linux, Android and macOS, takes the cache directory from the install options (--cache-dir, bunfig, BUN_INSTALL), and also covers a bin target that is a symlink inside the package. If this one merges, #46781 has nothing left to fix. A maintainer decides which one lands, so you can leave #46781 open until then. Thanks for the report and the repro.

I don't know how contribution works here, i don't want to hold back, I can close it if that's the best option.

No need to close anything on my account. Two open PRs for one issue is normal here: the maintainers compare them and merge one. If you want to keep things tidy, closing #46781 with a note that points at this PR is fine too. Either way, your report is what got this fixed.

Thanks. Which release it lands in is up to the maintainers, so I cannot promise a version. This PR is still in draft while I finish the measurements for the description.

The bin linker sets the mode of a bin target with lchmod, which does not reach the file behind a symlink. A package installed with --backend symlink has only symlinks into the cache in node_modules, so its bins stayed 0644 and node_modules/.bin/<name> failed with EACCES. The files in the tree that the install points into (the cache entry or the file: folder) get the mode at link time, through a chmod-only pass of the linker. bun patch already ran that pass on the cache entry through a temporary link directory. It is now bin::make_bins_executable, shared by both.

Walkthrough

The installer now resolves eligible package-bin sources and sets executable modes for symlink-backend installs. Bin processing can set modes without creating links or normalizing shebangs. Tests cover cache, folder, patched-package, CRLF, and native-binlink cases.

Changes

Package Bin Permissions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Add chmod-only bin processing `src/install/bin.rs`, `src/install/PackageManager/patchPackage.rs`, `src/install/isolated_install/Installer.rs`, `src/runtime/cli/link_command.rs`	The bin linker can set executable modes without creating links or normalizing shebangs. Patch installation uses the shared bin-processing function, and existing linker callers set `chmod_only` to `false`.
Resolve and apply bin sources `src/install/PackageInstaller.rs`	The installer tracks the target package and resolves eligible cache or folder sources before processing bins. Cache-entry naming and patch-hash lookup now receive explicit inputs.
Cover symlink-backend bin behavior `test/cli/install/bun-install-native-binlink.test.ts`, `test/regression/issue/46777.test.ts`	Tests cover native-binlink targets and executable modes for tarball, folder, scoped, directory-bin, and patched packages, including custom caches, reinstalls, and CRLF content.

Explanation

Directly linked issue #46777 requires that a symlink-backend install on Linux and Android leaves the cached bin binary executable. The PR meets this outcome by a different mechanism than the issue's proposed solution. The issue proposes a realpath fallback in make_executable. The PR instead sets the mode on the source file before the link into node_modules.

Evidence at the reviewed head:

src/install/PackageInstaller.rs: link_tree_bins calls bin::make_bins_executable for each bin when symlink_install_source returns the cache entry or folder path. The pass runs before the bin linker links into node_modules. The source is resolved for Npm, Git, Github, and tarball resolutions under the symlink backend, and for Folder resolutions.
src/install/bin.rs: Linker::chmod_only sets the exec mode through set_exec_mode (sys::lchmod on a regular cache file, which is not a symlink) and returns before any link or shebang work. make_bins_executable configures this mode with link(false).
test/regression/issue/46777.test.ts exists at the head. Its cases assert that the cache file reached by the node_modules symlink is executable after install. They cover tarball, file: folder, --cache-dir, a second install, directories.bin, scoped packages, and patched packages. The PR reports that all 8 cases fail on 1.4.3. I did not run the tests. This verdict relies on the test source and the PR's reported results.

Unverified: I did not read the containment check in link_bin_or_create_shim that runs before the chmod_only return. The PR states that it preserves the #31339 rule against following links out of node_modules/<pkg>. The verdict for #46777 does not depend on this point.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each changed area ties to the objective of setting bin modes in the symlink-backend source tree, or to supporting refactoring and tests:

src/install/bin.rs: the chmod_only field, set_exec_mode split from make_executable, and make_bins_executable. These implement the objective.
src/install/PackageInstaller.rs: the pre-link pass in link_tree_bins; target_package_id tracking so the redirected native binlink resolves the correct source; symlink_install_source; and the cache_entry_name, patch_contents_hash helpers extracted to take explicit inputs. The extraction is needed because symlink_install_source runs without an installer instance.
src/install/PackageManager/patchPackage.rs: bun patch now calls the shared bin::make_bins_executable, and its temporary link directory is removed. The PR states this sharing. It is a refactor of an existing pass with the same purpose.
src/install/isolated_install/Installer.rs and src/runtime/cli/link_command.rs: each sets chmod_only: false in an existing Linker initializer. These are required by the new field and do not change behavior.
test/cli/install/bun-install-native-binlink.test.ts: adds symlink-backend cases for the changed bin path. This supports the change.
test/regression/issue/46777.test.ts: new regression tests for the objective.

No change is shown that is unrelated to #46777. The PR's notes state that the shebang normalization removal applies only to the chmod-only pass. The link path still normalizes the copy in node_modules, which the CRLF test checks.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template with both required sections, "What does this PR do?" (as "Problem", "Fix", "Background", "Downsides") and "How did you verify your code works?" (as "Verified" with named test files, the regression suite list, and the rust:check-all result). It states the root cause, the fix, the alternatives considered, and the performance trade-offs. The main gap is that the bun-install-native-binlink and 46777 regression tests are marked as not run on the author's machine, and the verification relies on CI. The description also refers to a follow-up PR (#46812) and an earlier PR (#46781) without linking to the stacked change. Those points do not block the check.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether --no-verify could make the chmod pass in symlink_install_source resolve a different cache entry than the one the node_modules symlinks point into: both go through the same cache_entry_name -> cached_tarball_folder_name, which does the same verified-base probe against the cache directory, and the chmod pass runs after the tree is installed, so the two resolve to the same entry.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a chmod-only mode to bin::Linker and a symlink_install_source lookup in src/install/PackageInstaller.rs so bun install --backend symlink makes the real bin targets in the cache or file: folder executable, and routes patchPackage.rs through the same helper. It touches filesystem mutation of files outside node_modules (cache entries and file: folders under the project root), which is the surface the inline findings cover. The ruled-out --no-verify cache-entry mismatch was checked against PackageManagerDirectories.rs and shares the same lookup path on both sides.

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

…all cases The pass no longer normalizes the shebang, which rewrote the bin file of a file: folder in the user's checkout. A folder that an npm package declares is a link to its directory, so it gets no pass. A copied tree skips the pass only for cache entries. A tarball without an integrity has no cache entry yet.

🔴 Users running bun patch <pkg> on a package whose bin starts with a CRLF shebang get a broken node_modules/.bin/<name> ("bad interpreter") for the whole patch session. The chmod-only pass at src/install/PackageManager/patchPackage.rs:1015-1020 no longer normalizes the cache entry's shebang, and replace_with_cache_copy then copies the #!/bin/sh\r file into node_modules/<pkg>. Fix: keep shebang normalization for cache entries in both patch callers (prepare and commit), e.g. a normalize flag on bin::make_bins_executable that the install pass leaves off for file: folders, or normalize the copied bin after replace_with_cache_copy. The base ran the full linker here, so the cache file was rewritten to LF before the copy.

Why this was flagged

A registry package ships bin/cli.js whose first line ends in \r\n. bun install normalizes only the copy in node_modules (src/install/bin.rs:1045), so the cache entry keeps the CRLF. The user runs bun patch <pkg>: prepare_patch calls make_bins_executable at src/install/PackageManager/patchPackage.rs:1015-1020, which now reaches bin::make_bins_executable with chmod_only: true (src/install/bin.rs:2046); the early return at src/install/bin.rs:981-985 calls only set_exec_mode, never try_normalize_shebang. replace_with_cache_copy (patchPackage.rs:1026) then replaces node_modules/<pkg> with the CRLF copy, while node_modules/.bin/<name> still points at node_modules/<pkg>/bin/cli.js. Running that bin fails with the kernel's "bad interpreter: No such file or directory". On the base branch the same call (base patchPackage.rs:1145-1186) ran the full Linker::link into a temp .bin, whose make_executable normalized the cache file first, so the copy was LF and the bin ran. The test at test/regression/issue/46777.test.ts:120 only covers the install path, not bun patch.

Verification: Base patchPackage.rs:1145-1185 ran a full Linker::link, reaching try_normalize_shebang (src/install/bin.rs:1045), which rewrote the cache entry's bin/cli.js to LF before the copy. New patchPackage.rs:1015-1020 uses chmod_only: true (bin.rs:2046); bin.rs:981-985 returns after set_exec_mode, so try_normalize_shebang never runs on the cache file, and replace_with_cache_copy (patchPackage.rs:1026-1031) byte-copies #!/bin/sh\r into node_modules/<pkg>.

A relative symlink that stays inside such a folder is kept, a symlink to a file elsewhere in the project is installed as that file, and any other symlink is left out with a warning. `link:` dependencies do not use this backend; Bun installs them as a single symlink to the linked directory.If you install with `--backend=symlink`, Node.js won't resolve node_modules of dependencies unless each dependency has its own node_modules folder or you pass `--preserve-symlinks` to `node` or `bun`. rm -rf node_modules bun install --backend clonefile_each_dir `copyfile` is the fallback used when any of the above fail, and is the slowest. On macOS, it uses `fcopyfile()`; on Linux, it uses `copy_file_range()`. rm -rf node_modules bun install --backend copyfile `symlink` symlinks each file instead of copying it. Without the flag, Bun only uses it for a package that depends on itself (`"pkg": "file:."`). Other `file:` folders are hardlinked, so their files resolve their dependencies from the project's `node_modules`. A relative symlink that stays inside such a folder is kept, a symlink to a file elsewhere in the project is installed as that file, and any other symlink is left out with a warning. `link:` dependencies do not use this backend; Bun installs them as a single symlink to the linked directory. If you install with `--backend=symlink`, Node.js won't resolve node_modules of dependencies unless each dependency has its own node_modules folder or you pass `--preserve-symlinks` to `node` or `bun`.

This loads much faster than JSON and tends to be smaller on disk. These files live in `~/.bun/install/cache/*.npm`. The filename pattern is `${hash(packageName)}.npm`. It’s a hash so that Bun doesn’t need to create extra directories for scoped packages. Bun's usage of `Cache-Control` ignores `Age`. This improves performance, but means Bun may be about 5 minutes behind the latest package version metadata from npm. </excerpt> </source> <omitted_sources count="68">Additional source records were omitted from this bounded result.</omitted_sources> </source_evidence> Citations: - 1: GitHub issue 46777 in oven-sh/bun (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) - 2: GitHub issue 42776 in oven-sh/bun (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) - 3: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues?utm_source=openai

The tests in `test/js/` directory are further categorized by the type of API. * `test/js/` * `bun/` - tests for `Bun`-specific APIs. * `node/` - tests for Node.js APIs. }); }); When fixing a bug, add the test to the existing test file for that code (e.g. a fetch bug → `test/js/web/fetch/fetch.test.ts`). Only use `test/regression/` when the bug has a GitHub issue number and is a true regression — it worked in a previous release and then broke. // test/regression/issue/02005.test.ts import { it, expect } from "bun:test"; it("regex literal should work with non-latin1", () => { const text = "这是一段要替换的文字"; expect(text.replace(new RegExp("要替换"), "")).toBe("这是一段的文字"); expect(text.replace(/要替换/, "")).toBe("这是一段的文字"); }); In the future, a bot will automatically close or re-open issues when a regression is detected or resolved. ## TypeScript Test files should be written in TypeScript. The types in `packages/bun-types` should be updated to support all new APIs. Changes to the `.d.ts` files in `packages/bun-types` will be immediately reflected in test files; no build step is necessary. Writing a test will often require using invalid syntax, e.g. when checking for errors when an invalid input is passed to a function. TypeScript provides a number of escape hatches here. * `// @ts-expect-error` - This should be your first choice. It tells TypeScript that the next line should fail typechecking. * `// @ts-ignore` - Ignore the next line entirely. * `// @ts-nocheck` - Put this at the top of the file to disable typechecking on the entire file. Useful for autogenerated test files, or when ignoring/disabling type checks an a per-line basis is too onerous. You can’t perform that action at this time.</excerpt> </source> <source kind="search"> <title>bun/test/CLAUDE.md at main · oven-sh/bun · GitHub</title> <location>https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/main/test/CLAUDE.md</location> <excerpt>citeturn0search1 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: 4 days ago; Note that compiling Bun may take up to 2.5 minutes. ... * `/test/regression/issue/${issueNumber}.test.ts` is only for bugs that have a GitHub issue number and are true regressions (worked in a previous release, then broke). import { tempDir } from "harness"; import path from "node:path"; test("creates a temporary directory with files", () => { using dir = tempDir("my-test-prefix", { "file.txt": "Hello, world!", }); expect(await Bun.file(path.join(String(dir), "file.txt")).text()).toBe( "Hello, world!", ); }); ### Strings To create a repetitive string, use `Buffer.alloc(count, fill).toString()` instead of `"A".repeat(count)`.

An issue number alone does not qualify — if it was never correct, put the test in the module's existing test file instead. </excerpt> </source> <source kind="search"> <title>[BUG] Repeated Bun panic "switch on corrupt value" on Windows 11 x64 during long sessions (v2.1.50 / Bun 1.3.10) · Issue #27847 · anthropics/claude-code · GitHub</title> <location>GitHub issue 27847 in anthropics/claude-code (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference)</location> <excerpt>citeturn0search2 [wordlim: 200] Published: 8 months ago; Crawled: 2 months ago; This has happened twice on the same machine, both times during sessions involving multiple subagent spawns (worktree orchestration with 5-7 parallel agents). ... * Bun reports machine RAM as 33.78GB when actual is 32GB — possible GC threshold miscalculation (noted in panic: switch on corrupt value in string.zig during long-running session on Windows oven-sh/bun#27099) ... * Since Anthropic now owns Bun, this may be fixable in a future Claude Code release without waiting for an upstream Bun release ...

Move the new regression cases into the existing install test file.

The Linux/Android lchmod limitation predates the package-manager consolidation. The pre-consolidation bin linker already called sys::lchmod when creating links, and Linux returns EOPNOTSUPP for symlink modes. This was not previously working behavior. Add these cases to test/cli/install/bun-install-native-binlink.test.ts.
