Problem

  • Module._findPath(request, paths) returns false, or a file outside paths, where Node finds the file: _findPath("plug", ["plugins/node_modules"]) is false. With dd-trace, require("mocha") ends in TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'files' from null or undefined value.
  • find_path_inner (src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs:88) gives each entry to the resolver as the importing file. The resolver looks in its parent, walks node_modules, runs plugins and can install a package.

Fix

  • Resolver::find_in_directory looks request up in one directory: exports, a file, an extension, a directory. find_path is Node's loop over it.
  • Module._resolveLookupPaths and Module.globalPaths list the NODE_PATH directories, which _findPath no longer searches.
  • Verified: test/js/node/module/module-find-path.test.js (Linux: 25 of 30 tests fail on main, 25 run in Node). Also node-module-module.test.js, AOT and compile tests.
  • Self-reviewed: 84 concerns raised, 74 addressed. Notes lists the rest.

Background

  • Module._findPath is the lookup under Node's require(). dd-trace uses it to find the main file of a package.
  • The resolver answers from cached directory listings. If no entry has the request, the cache forgets the entries and _findPath looks once more, like require.resolve.
  • Considered a JS port (it cannot follow require()'s extension orders) and a flag on the existing resolve call (plugins, the walk and auto-install stay).

Downsides

  • onResolve plugins no longer run for Module._findPath. The Propagate JS exceptions instead of clearing them where the caller is fallible #39804 test that expects them is replaced: @dylan-conway, please rule. Module.globalPaths is no longer [] when NODE_PATH is set.
  • dd-trace's call _findPath(name, [packageDir, ...lookupPaths]): 14,475 to 33,313 instructions, 0 syscalls. Text: +18,432 B.
  • Differences from Node stay (Notes): false where Node throws for exports, Bun's extensions, names with a backslash.
Notes

Reach. One caller is known: dd-trace's ritm.js (6.14.0 / 5.125.0 or later) calls Module._findPath(name, [basedir, ...Module._resolveLookupPaths(name, this, true)]) for each file that require() loads from a package with a hook. It takes the file for the main file of the package if the result is that file. On main the answer differs from Node's for a package that has <name>.js, <name>.json or <name>.node at its root. mocha has mocha.js, its browser bundle. Node then does not take mocha/index.js for the main file, and dd-trace's hook for it does not run. On main it runs and throws. So the crash is also a defect of dd-trace's hook: without mocha/mocha.js, Node throws the same TypeError. No user reported this. Module._findPath came in #10568 for #10468.

$ cat test/a.test.js
const Mocha = require("mocha");
describe("suite", () => { it("runs", () => {}); });
$ <bin> -r dd-trace/ci/init ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha.js test/a.test.js   # dd-trace 6.21.0, mocha 11.7.5
node v26.3.0      1 passing, exit 0     _findPath("mocha", [<nm>/mocha, <nm>]) = mocha/mocha.js
main 69f4077643   TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'files' from null or undefined value, exit 1     = mocha/index.js
this PR           1 passing, exit 0     = mocha/mocha.js

On main the same call can also ask the npm registry: _findPath("plug", [dir, nm]) with no plug in reach of dir downloads plug into the install cache and returns that file.

What the lookup is. For each entry of paths, in order:

  1. An entry that is not a directory is skipped (not for a request like ../a, as in Node).
  2. If the request starts with a package name and <entry>/<name> has exports, the exports decide, with the conditions of require().
  3. Else <entry>/<request> is a file, a file with an extension of require() added, or a directory (main, then the index file). A request that names a directory (./a/, .) gets no extension.
  4. The result is the real path, as for require().

Whether the entry, <entry>/<name> and each directory of the request is a directory is read from the listing of the directory above it, from the entry down. The disk is asked where a listing cannot tell: it cannot be read, it has no entry, it has the name in another case, or the name has a character outside ASCII or a ~. No listing has the root of a file system, so /, C:\ and the root of a Windows share (\\server\share) are taken for directories. So _findPath puts no not-found mark in the directory cache for one of these directories. require() takes such a mark for the truth after the directory is created (t). A directory that the main or the exports of a package name is looked up as require() looks it up, with its mark. For a request that leaves the entry (../x/y) a missing x is remembered as a listing that failed, as require("../x/y") does.

The rule for everything else: for <entry>/<request>, _findPath answers what Bun's require() answers for that path. No plugin, builtin name, tsconfig paths or baseUrl, package imports, self-reference, node_modules walk, NODE_PATH or auto-install takes part. Each of these answered _findPath on main, and each has a row in the test file.

Differences from Node that stay. These are instances of the rule above. The test file pins those marked (t).

  • Where the exports of a package do not give the request, or give a file that does not exist, Node throws (ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED, MODULE_NOT_FOUND, ERR_INVALID_PACKAGE_TARGET). Bun returns false, and like Node it looks in no later entry. (t) handle_esm_resolution records the status in Resolver.esm_failure, so the error can be added later. node: ESM resolver error-code parity — ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED and friends (+4 tests) #35711 and fix(resolve): match Node 24 package configuration validation #44512 work on the errors of require().
  • After exports end the search there is no second look. A file that is created later in an entry before that package is not found until the cache forgets the directory. Node finds it. (t) With a second look there, each dd-trace call for a package whose exports have no . reads the directory of the package again.
  • The entries are read through the cache. A file that is created in an entry after a lookup missed it there is found only if no later entry has the request, or after the cache forgets the directory. Node reads the disk for each entry and finds the file in the earlier entry. A disk read after each miss costs every dd-trace call, whose first entry always misses.
  • A main that names no file, with no index file: Node throws MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Bun looks in the next entry. (t) A package.json that does not parse: Node throws ERR_INVALID_PACKAGE_CONFIG. Bun reads the directory as one without a package.json.
  • An I/O error after the file is found (EACCES or EMFILE when the real path is read): Node throws the error of fs.realpathSync. Bun takes the entry as one without the request, as on main.
  • Extensions: Bun adds those of its own require(), in its order (.ts, .mjs, .cjs, ...), and finds x.ts for x.js. So _findPath("./typed", [dir]) finds typed.ts, and _findPath(name, [packageDir, nm]) finds <name>.mjs at the root of a package where Node finds the main file. (t)
  • exports: the bun condition and exports that give a directory ("./dir/": "./dist/") (t), and a target without its extension. The .js retry and the package.json allowance of require() are not applied: there Node throws and _findPath returns false, while Bun's require() finds the file. (t)
  • exports that are true, false or a number: Node ignores them. Bun's package.json reader keeps them as a map with no entry, for every resolver surface, so the package is not found. (t) fix(resolve): match Node 24 package configuration validation #44512 changes the reader.
  • A package that only NODE_PATH reaches: _findPath(name, lookupPaths) reads its exports, as Node does (t). Bun's require() does not (resolver: apply package.json exports to packages found via NODE_PATH #36566).
  • File-name case: the listing of a directory finds a name in any case. _findPath checks a file that it finds by the name itself or by an added extension against the file system, so _findPath("gopd", [<nm>/gopd, <nm>]) does not return gopd/gopd.js for gOPD.js (t), and the cache does not keep that path for the next require(). A directory in another case is checked too (t). The index file, the main and the target of exports are not checked, as for require(). resolver: match file name case the way the directory's filesystem does #44690 changes the listing, and these checks can go then.
  • On Windows, Node v26.3.0 does not search an entry that is the root of a drive (C:\). Its loader namespaces the path two times, and \\?\C:\ becomes \\?\C:, which is the volume. Bun searches C:\, as both search /. (t)
  • On POSIX a request or an entry with a backslash or a null byte is never found. The directory cache reads a backslash as a separator. Node finds a file whose name has a backslash. (t) resolver: reject backslash in bare package specifiers on POSIX #36425 works on backslashes in package names.
  • Module._pathCache stays unused, isMain and conditions (arguments 3 and 4) are not read, and a replaced Module._stat or Module._readPackage is not called. Node reads each entry of paths twice, once for the key of that cache. Bun reads an entry once. (t)
  • Module.globalPaths lists the NODE_PATH directories only, from the environment that require() reads (a .env file included). Node adds $HOME/.node_modules, $HOME/.node_libraries and $PREFIX/lib/node, which Bun's require() does not search. It was [] since 83473c6, which made the property exist for app-root-path. app-root-path takes its other way to the root when it is installed below one of these directories, as under Node. APP_ROOT_PATH overrides it.
  • An executable from bun build --compile: the modules are found by their paths only, under the names that require.resolve gives them (forward slashes on Windows) (t). With --aot a package is found in the table of the program, in the node_modules directory of the entry alone: one step of the walk of require() (t, test/aot, and a unit test).

The second look. find_path first looks in every entry through the cache (0 syscalls when the cache is warm, as on main) and keeps the entries that it read. If no entry has the request, it goes through them once more, and runs no getter of paths again. For each it forgets <entry>/<request> and its directory (bust_dir_cache_and_parent), and each listing from the entry or the first missing directory of the request down (t). Then it reads the disk. This is what require.resolve does on main after a miss, and it has the same cost: the old listing of a directory is not freed (#36675 changes that). The second look does not depend on what the first forgot, so a Worker or --hot that drops the same listing in between does not make it skip. #40279 works on when a miss is final for every resolver surface.

  • An empty directory costs 4 stat calls more per call: its listing tells nothing, so the disk is asked. The directory above a missing node_modules of the lookup paths is not empty.
  • RSS growth per call is the slope from 20,000 to 60,000 calls. The dd-trace call that finds the file grows 183 B on main and 254 B here (the arrays and strings of the loop), so 204 B is no growth. The growth of a miss is the old listing that is not freed.
  • import and require: no added instructions. require.resolve("pkg-with-exports"), require("./child.cjs"), import("pkg-with-exports"), Bun.resolveSync("./x", dir), require.resolve("pkg-with-main") and require.resolve("pkg-with-exports/feature") differ by -26, +44, -312, +1, +13 and -15 instructions per call of 7,370 to 90,520 (N=200,000, minimum of 5 interleaved runs).

  • dd-trace 6.21.0 with express 4.21.2 makes 20 _findPath calls on 9 keys at start: 0.17 ms in total on main and 0.28 ms on this PR (median of 16 runs).
  • A grid of 2,871 rows (87 requests x 33 paths lists, the fixture of the test file) against Node v26.3.0, with a throw counted as false: 345 rows differ on main. 1 differs on this PR, in both orders of the grid: the main that names no file.

Tests.

  • module-find-path.test.js runs under bun test, and one of its tests runs the same file in Node (skipped if Node is older than v26.3.0). On Linux, release build of main: 5 pass, 25 fail. This PR: 30 pass. One of the tests does not run for the super-user. One more test runs on Windows only: it searches entries on the administrative share of the drive (\\localhost\C$), the root of the share included. One test searches the root of the file system (/, or C:\ on Windows). The Node run skips it on Windows (see the differences above).
  • One table compares Module._findPath(request, Module._resolveLookupPaths(request, parent)) with Module._resolveFilename(request, parent) for 26 requests. They are the same but for the .js retry and the package.json allowance.
  • Each clause of the lookup of the first commit was switched off in turn in debug builds (three rounds). Each variant fails a test. Two more clauses change only the cost or matter on Windows only, and have no test: the check for an absolute request before the exports step (C:/), and the entry check for a relative request that stays in the entry.
  • The second commit against a release build of the first: 4 tests of module-find-path.test.js fail there (a directory that is created after _findPath looked in an entry, a directory in another case, the getter of paths, no second look after exports), and 3 rows of the test/aot file.
  • node-module-module.test.js: the onResolve test is replaced, and a child process with NODE_PATH checks the three lists and _findPath(name, lookupPaths). Release build of main: 2 fail.
  • test/bundler/bundler_compile.test.ts: compile/ModuleFindPathFindsEmbeddedModule builds a standalone executable. On main the lookups of ./<name> and <name> in the directory of the module are false.
  • test/aot/module-find-path-finds-the-packages-of-the-program.test.ts: an executable built with --compile --aot and run away from its sources. It fails on main. compiled_program.rs has a unit test for the lookup in one node_modules directory (bun run rust:test -p bun_resolver: 36 pass).
  • Release builds: test/cli/run/run-autoinstall.test.ts 300 pass on this PR. The 48 vendored test-module-* and test-require-* files exit 0 on both. test/js/bun/resolve/: 424 tests pass on both, but for load-same-js-file-a-lot.test.ts, which runs into its 5 s timeout in some runs on both builds on this machine.
  • Windows (test lanes of x64 and aarch64, at 927ce0b): module-find-path.test.js passes (x64: 27 pass, 4 skip, 0 fail). The share test, the test of C:\ and the Node run of the file are among the 27. node-module-module.test.js and bundler_compile.test.ts pass.
  • macOS aarch64 (test lane, at 927ce0b): module-find-path.test.js 28 pass, 3 skip, 0 fail, with the Node run of the file and the test that takes the read permission from a directory. node-module-module.test.js 81 pass, 1 skip. On macOS x64 one of the four test shards ran, and bundler_compile.test.ts passes in it. The other three found no agent. The release binary for Linux keeps its text size with the check for the root of a share (138,134,941 B).
  • Debug build: test/js/node/module/ 182 pass, 3 skip, 0 fail. The test/aot file and bundler_compile.test.ts (86 tests) pass. module-find-path.test.js also passes with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 and for a user that is not the super-user. cargo clippy for bun_resolver and bun_jsc and cargo check --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc are clean.
  • Not run locally: anything on Windows or macOS, and cargo mordant (generic_body_not_generic does not report #[inline(always)] functions, which the two functions with MATCH_CASE are).

Self-review. Two rounds before the first push, one before the second. Earlier cuts carried a refactor of the exports step of load_node_modules, new throws, and a pass that asked the disk before the cache forgot a directory. All three are gone. load_node_modules is untouched. load_as_file_or_directory, load_as_file and load_extension keep their machine code: the directory half of the first is a function of its own, and the other two are instances of a function with a MATCH_CASE parameter. Not done:

  1. More rows for Windows (a request like C:/abs/file.js, a drive-relative request). Nothing here runs on Windows, so the expected values have to come from Node in a Windows test lane.
  2. A row for a volume that ignores case. The same reason.
  3. A --hot row for the second look. The Worker row and the row with a getter cover the same interleaving.
  4. Module._pathCache. Node answers a repeated call from it. Here each call does the lookup (numbers above).
  5. No issue was filed for dd-trace's hook (instrumentation-utils.js:33).
  6. A second look after exports end the search (above).
  7. A not-found mark for a directory that the main or the exports of a package name. It comes from code that require() shares, and main's _findPath leaves the same mark.
  8. A directory that cannot be read: _findPath remembers the failed listing of it, as require() of a path in it does. The directory cache then builds the directories below it without their parents.
  9. The cost of the second look (the table above, resolver: a busted directory listing keeps its slot and is refilled in place #36675).
  10. The test that takes the read permission from a directory leaves it that way if the process is killed between two statements.

Related. #47184 builds require.resolve(id, { paths }) in the walk of load_node_modules. Node defines that API as this loop over a lookup list, so this PR can land first and #47184 can use find_in_directory. #46883 adds the same three lines to jsFunctionFindPath (a request that is not a string). #41491 names this case as out of its scope. #35124 (closed as stale) listed NODE_PATH and three more folders in Module.globalPaths.

Module._findPath(request, paths) gave each entry of paths to the resolver
as the file that imports the request. So it looked in the parent of the
entry, walked up through node_modules, answered builtin names, ran
onResolve plugins and could install a package.

Resolver::find_in_directory looks the request up in one directory: the
exports of the package there, then a file, a file with an extension, and
a directory. Module._findPath calls it for each entry, in order, as Node
does. Where the exports of a package do not give the request, Node
throws. Bun returns false, and like Node it looks in no later entry.

The lookup reads the directory cache, like require(). If no entry has the
request, the cache forgets the entries and the lookup runs once more, as
require.resolve does after a miss.

A file that is found by a name in another case than the directory has is
checked against the file system, so the cache does not keep a path that
does not exist.

Module._resolveLookupPaths, require.resolve.paths and Module.globalPaths
now list the directories of NODE_PATH, which require() searches last.
Module._findPath no longer searches them by itself, so a caller that
passes the lookup paths still finds a package there.

Status

Reproduced on a release build of main 69f4077, against Node v26.3.0:

  • Module._findPath("plug", ["plugins/node_modules"]) and Module._findPath("./index.js", [packageDir]) return false. Node returns the file.
  • With dd-trace 6.21.0 and mocha 11.7.5, mocha under -r dd-trace/ci/init with a test file that does require("mocha") exits 1 with TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'files' from null or undefined value. Node exits 0.
  • test/js/node/module/module-find-path.test.js: on Linux, 25 of its 30 tests fail on main. All 30 pass with this change. The 25 tests that also run in Node pass there.

CI at 927ce0b (build 135469, finished 02:23 UTC on Oct 30): the tests of this change pass on every lane that ran them. These are Linux (x64, aarch64, musl, ASAN), Windows (x64, aarch64) and macOS aarch64. The build is red for two reasons that this change does not touch:

  • test/aot/build-scaling/build-scaling-2.test.ts fails on macOS aarch64 (twice as many functions cost 2.51 times the peakBytes; allowed: 2.5). The same test is red or flaky in 9 other builds of the last 50, on other branches.
  • Three of the four macOS x64 test shards found no agent and expired. The shard that ran passed, with test/bundler/bundler_compile.test.ts in it.

Walkthrough

The change adds directory-scoped resolution for Module._findPath, updates compiled-program package lookup, and adds NODE_PATH entries to module lookup paths and Module.globalPaths. Tests cover lookup behavior, argument handling, filesystem changes, and compiled executables.

Changes

Module path lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Directory-scoped resolution
src/resolver/result.rs, src/resolver/fs.rs, src/resolver/lib.rs, src/resolver/resolver.rs, src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs
The resolver adds per-directory lookup outcomes, package and file resolution, cache invalidation, and exact-case matching. The JavaScript binding searches supplied entries and handles cached and on-disk lookups.
Compiled-program package lookup
src/resolver/compiled_program.rs, src/resolver/standalone_module_graph.rs
Compiled-program package lookup can search only the importer’s own node_modules directory or include ancestor directories.
Module API and NODE_PATH wiring
src/jsc/JSArray.rs, src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs, src/jsc/modules/NodeModuleModule.*, src/jsc/resolver_jsc.rs, src/resolver/resolver.rs, test/js/node/module/node-module-module.test.js
Module._findPath forwards encoded paths and rejects non-string requests. Lookup paths and Module.globalPaths include NODE_PATH entries. Tests verify that _findPath does not invoke onResolve plugins.
Lookup behavior validation
test/js/node/module/module-find-path.test.js, test/aot/module-find-path-finds-the-packages-of-the-program.test.ts, test/bundler/bundler_compile.test.ts, src/resolver/compiled_program.rs
Tests cover lookup inputs and ordering, package exports, filesystem changes after misses, and lookups in compiled executables.

src/resolver/resolver.rs:4501-4508
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Scope the case-match check to directory lookup, not the shared exports arm.

The Main.js exports target is accepted by the shared exact-target lookup in load_esm_resolution. That lookup is case-folded. A case-mismatched _findPath request can therefore return a path that Node's case-sensitive lookup rejects. The finding is valid, but the proposed unconditional is_named(base) guard is not safe. It changes every exports caller, and it does not make the mismatch fall through to a not-found result.

Pass a case-match mode from the directory-lookup caller only. Keep the default case-folded behavior for the other callers. Also check the probe_target_extensions fallthrough, which the guard would reach, before relying on this change.

Why the unconditional guard is not safe
  • The exact-target arm is shared. handle_esm_resolution is called from resolver.rs lines 2925, 2983, 3464, 3506, and 5581, as well as from the new directory-lookup caller at line 4501. An unconditional guard changes ordinary exports resolution for all of them.
  • A case-mismatched name does not fall through to NotFound. It goes to probe_target_extensions. That function resolves candidates with resolved_dir_info.get_entry(...), which is case-folded. A rewritten candidate such as Main.ts can therefore still match an on-disk main.ts. The tail of probe_target_extensions was not read, so the full fallthrough is unresolved.

Trigger and consequence. On a case-sensitive filesystem, a package directory under _findPath can contain main.js. Its exports map can target ./Main.js. The lookup returns the path with the requested spelling, Main.js, and Node would reject that target. Loading can still succeed through the cached file descriptor. The impact is therefore a lookup mismatch, not a load failure.

Reject the Worker readiness wait on exit as well as error.

The readiness promise settles only on message and error. The test guidelines require every failure event, including process exit, to reject the awaited promise. Add an exit listener that rejects the same promise. If the Worker exits after message, the late rejection is a no-op on the settled promise.

         worker.once("message", resolve);

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 two things and ruled them out: a file-system root passed as a paths entry (/, C:\) is not skipped, since is_listed_directory returns true for an empty basename; and every JS-entering call in the new find_path/paths_length (get_index, to_utf8, get_length, get("length"), to_number) propagates exceptions with ? before its result is used.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites Module._findPath in src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs to a Node-style per-directory loop over a new Resolver::find_in_directory (~270 lines in src/resolver/resolver.rs, including an exports fast path, a case-matching file lookup, a parent-listing directory check and a cache-busting second look), adds NODE_PATH to Module.globalPaths/_resolveLookupPaths, and replaces the onResolve-plugin expectation in an existing test. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; the sensitive surface is resolver cache state shared with require() and unsafe raw-pointer access to the VM resolver and RealFS singleton. Six confirmed findings are posted inline, so a human review is already signalled; this note only records what else was examined.

🟡 (optional) Programs that register a Bun.plugin onResolve hook and run a library calling Module._findPath (dd-trace, require-in-the-middle users) now get a bare directory lookup or false where the base returned the plugin's answer. The new loop at src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs:101 calls Resolver::find_in_directory, which never consults plugins; the base went through resolve_maybe_needs_trailing_slash. The #39804 test at node-module-module.test.js:66 is inverted to assert calls: 0. Fix: either consult onResolve per entry before the directory lookup, or land only after the maintainer ruling the PR asks for, with the stated reason in the test.

Why this was flagged

Trigger: a process calls Bun.plugin({ setup(b) { b.onResolve({filter}, ...) } }) and then a library calls require("module")._findPath(name, paths) (dd-trace's ritm.js does this on every require of a hooked package). On the base, find_path_inner (old src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs:88) ran VirtualMachine::resolve_maybe_needs_trailing_slash::<true> which runs the plugin pipeline, so the plugin's remap applied and a thrown error propagated. After the change, src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs:101 calls Resolver::find_in_directory, which by its own doc (src/resolver/resolver.rs:4403-4407) runs no plugin, so a virtual or aliased module the plugin serves is reported false and dd-trace then hooks the wrong main file or none. The existing test at test/js/node/module/node-module-module.test.js:66 is rewritten to assert calls: 0, i.e. the safety net for #39804 is inverted rather than kept. Remedy: run onResolve for <entry>/<request> before the directory lookup, or keep the base behaviour until a maintainer rules and record the reason in the test.

Verification: Base find_path_inner called resolve_maybe_needs_trailing_slash, whose first step at src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:5545-5552 is run_on_resolve. The new loop at src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs:101-124 calls resolver.find_in_directory, and nothing in find_in_directory_as_require reaches run_on_resolve. The test at test/js/node/module/node-module-module.test.js:66-92 asserts calls: 0.

No change. The first Downsides bullet of the PR body asks a maintainer for this ruling, and the test states the reason: Node's Module._findPath resolves no specifier, and plugins take part in require() and import. This thread stays open for that ruling.

…ssing

Module._findPath reads from the listings, from the entry down, whether
the entry, the package directory and each directory of the request is a
directory. It asks the disk where a listing cannot tell. It no longer
puts a not-found mark in the directory cache for one of them, so
require() finds such a directory after it is created.

The second look reads the entries that the first look read, so a getter
of paths does not run again. It forgets each listing from the first
missing directory down. Where the exports of a package end the search,
there is no second look.

In an executable compiled ahead of time, a package is looked up in the
node_modules directory of the entry alone. A package of a directory
above no longer ends the search, a link to a package is found, and so
is a package of an entry with a separator at its end.

The tests pass on Windows: the fixture is at the name that the file
system has for the temporary directory, and a module of a standalone
executable is compared by its normalized path.

I re-ran the review on the updated version (through 8447c9f) and found no new bugs; given the size of the resolver change and the open question on onResolve plugins no longer running for Module._findPath, a maintainer look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed this time:

  • The rewritten two-pass loop in src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs: entries are now read from paths once and reused by the second look, and NotExported ends the search without a retry.
  • is_listed_directory / is_directory_on_disk for root entries (/, C:\): the empty-basename branch returns true, so a root entry is not skipped.
  • The --aot standalone branch: x.ts beside x.js can differ from require()'s pick, but only in extension order, which the PR documents.
  • Non-string paths entries: the thrown error differs from Node only in message wording.
Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites Module._findPath across src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs and adds ~460 lines to src/resolver/resolver.rs (new find_in_directory, directory-cache helpers that avoid negative marks, a scoped_log raw-pointer guard, and a new Reach::OwnDirectory mode in compiled_program.rs), plus about 1,400 lines of tests. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; the sensitive parts are the resolver directory cache and the unsafe log guard. The latest commit addresses the cache-tombstone, double-getter and NotExported-retry points raised in the prior review, and this run's hunt ran dry with no new findings. Approval is withheld because the change is large, modifies shared resolver internals, and intentionally drops plugin participation in _findPath, which the author explicitly asks a maintainer to rule on.

Search each paths entry on disk before a later entry's cached hit.

find_path looks in the resolver's directory cache for every entry before it retries any miss on disk. An entry that was cached as a miss and later gained the request file therefore loses to a later entry whose cached listing already has the request. Node's Module._findPath checks each entry in order against the disk, so it returns the earlier file. Change the loop so a miss in an entry is retried on disk before the next entry is read. Weigh the extra disk reads this adds for entries that do not have the request.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value

Let literal backslash names reach the directory lookup on POSIX.

On POSIX, is_never_in_directory rejects any dir or request that contains \. find_in_directory returns NotFound before it reads the directory, so a file named a\b.js is not found even when it exists. The test titled "a backslash and a colon are characters of a name" only covers missing files, so it does not detect this.

The guard's stated reason is that the directory cache reads \ as a separator on POSIX. The backslash split in dir_info_cached_maybe_log is compiled only for Windows, so that reason does not apply. Remove the POSIX-only check and keep the Windows behavior:

Suggested fix
     fn is_never_in_directory(path: &[u8]) -> bool {
-        strings::index_of_any(path, if cfg!(windows) { b"\0" } else { b"\0\\" }).is_some()
+        strings::index_of_any(path, b"\0").is_some()
     }

Also add a regression case in test/js/node/module/module-find-path.test.js where a\b.js exists and find returns its path.

Pushed 8447c9f and 3c4220d, on a merge of main.

CI. Four tests of module-find-path.test.js failed on Windows in build 135126. All four were expectations of the test:

  • The fixture was at C:\Windows\TEMP\..., the name from the environment. Bun finds what a junction leads to under the name that the file system has, C:\Windows\Temp\.... The fixture root is realpathSync.native(...) now.
  • Node on Windows puts \\?\ before the path of one error.
  • The name of a module of a standalone executable has forward slashes on Windows, and import.meta.path has backslashes. The test compares normalized paths and prints the value that it got.

Review of the first commit. Each thread has its answer.

  • Fixed: the not-found mark for a missing directory, the fallback of is_listed_directory, the second look after exports end the search, a package of a node_modules directory above the entry in an ahead-of-time executable, strings::tokenize, the pinned require.resolve row, the Worker promise.
  • Not changed: a throw for an I/O error of finalize_result, one split site for NODE_PATH, and a case-match mode for the target of exports. require() finds that target in any case too, and resolver: match file name case the way the directory's filesystem does #44690 changes the listing.
  • onResolve waits for a maintainer.

Review of 8447c9f.

  • A disk read for each entry before a later cached hit: not changed. The first entry of dd-trace's list misses on every call, so each call would read the disk. require() answers from the same cache. The PR body lists the difference.
  • A name with a backslash on POSIX: not changed. Dirname::dirname in src/resolver/resolver.rs splits at a backslash on every platform (is_sep_any), so a lookup of a\b.js would list the directory a. The guard keeps that out of the cache. resolver: reject backslash in bare package specifiers on POSIX #36425 works on backslashes.
  • Comments: each comment of this PR that took more than one line takes one line now (3c4220d).

The PR body has the measurements for this head: main 69f4077 against 8447c9f. 3c4220d changes comments only, and its release binary has the same text size.

Beyond the inline test nits, I also checked two cases in the new lookup and ruled them out: a file-system root as a paths entry (_findPath("./x", ["/"])) is still searched, since is_listed_directory in src/resolver/resolver.rs returns true for a path with an empty basename instead of trying to list its parent; and the standalone-executable branch of find_in_directory resolves embedded files with the resolver's current extension order rather than the require() order used on disk, which only affects which of several same-stem embedded files wins and is not a correctness bug.

Extended reasoning...

The findings this run are three test-hygiene nits in test/js/node/module/module-find-path.test.js (a per-test timeout around a bun build --compile spawn, serial subprocess tests, and a chmod-based test that is vacuous as root); the resolver and NodeModuleModule changes themselves are large (~430 lines in src/resolver/resolver.rs plus new C-ABI and JSC glue) and touch no auth, crypto, or injection surface. The two extra cases named in the body were examined from the diff and ruled out, which is the only new information this run adds over the inline comments.

Set the require extension order before the embedded lookup.

The standalone branch returns before self.extension_order is set to require_extension_order(abs_path). Embedded lookups then use the resolver's default order. For paths under node_modules, this can select a different compiled file than the disk resolver selects.

Pushed 6da5770 (tests only).

  • The test of a standalone executable is a compile test now: compile/ModuleFindPathFindsEmbeddedModule in test/bundler/bundler_compile.test.ts. module-find-path.test.js sets no timeout.
  • The three tests of that file that start a process run at the same time.
  • The test of a directory that cannot be listed does not run for the super-user.

Not changed: the extension order of a lookup in an executable (the follow-up of the review of 3c4220d). In an executable, require() takes the order from the directory of the importing file before it looks a path up (resolve_and_auto_install in src/resolver/resolver.rs), not from the path. Module._findPath has no importing file, so it uses the order that require() uses from a file outside node_modules. require_extension_order(abs_path) is the rule of check_relative_path, which a lookup in an executable does not reach.

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

… directory

The root of a share (`\\server\share`) has a name, and no directory lists it.
`is_listed_directory` looked for that name in the listing of `\\server`.

Tests: rows for an entry on a share (Windows only). The Worker of the
concurrency test answers a question before and after the loop, so a Worker
that stopped fails the test.

Pushed ca1803f.

  • The Worker test: the worker now answers a question before the loop and after it, and each answer follows lookups that start after the question. A worker that stops during the loop fails the test. A copy of the test with such a worker fails for a throw and for process.exit(3).
  • The root of a Windows share as an entry of paths: is_listed_directory looked for share in the listing of \\server. It now takes the root of a share for a directory, as it does for / and C:\. I found this on a read of the code for Windows. A new test searches entries on \\localhost\<drive>$, as test/js/node/fs/cp.test.ts does. It runs on Windows only, so CI is its first run.
  • The release binary for Linux keeps its text size (138,134,941 B).

One thread stays open for a maintainer: onResolve plugins and Module._findPath (the first Downsides bullet of the description).

I reviewed the latest push (ca1803f) and found no new bugs; the Worker handshake change settles the concurrency-test note from last time. Because this is a ~2,000-line rewrite of resolver internals (raw VM pointer under scoped_log, directory-cache busting semantics) with the onResolve-plugin behaviour change still awaiting a maintainer ruling, a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • find_in_directory_as_require / forget_in_directory / is_listed_directory and the two-pass loop in NodeModuleModule.rs (paths.length coercion, NotExported cut, ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE on non-string entries).
  • The new Windows share-root guard in is_listed_directory: windows_filesystem_root(path).len() >= path.len() also covers C:\, whose basename is C:.
  • One sibling worth a look: on POSIX bun_paths::basename(b"/") returns b"/" (src/paths/resolve_path.rs:2326), so the name.is_empty() "root of a file system" branch at src/resolver/resolver.rs:4639 never fires and a paths entry of / is looked up as the name / in the listing of / and skipped. Impact is small (Node's _resolveLookupPaths yields / only for a module at the filesystem root), but _findPath("./etc/hostname", ["/"]) returns false where Node and the base branch find the file.
Extended reasoning...

The PR rewrites Module._findPath in src/jsc/NodeModuleModule.rs and adds ~430 lines of directory-lookup and cache-busting code to src/resolver/resolver.rs, plus C ABI glue for NODE_PATH and two new test files; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface, but it is user-reachable path handling over the shared resolver directory cache. The hunt ran dry on this push and the latest commit addressed the last open test note, so there is nothing to post inline. Deferral rather than approval rests on the size and complexity of the change, the unsafe raw-pointer log guard, the open maintainer question about dropping onResolve plugins for _findPath (the inverted #39804 test thread is still unresolved), and the POSIX root-entry gap noted in the body, which is the sibling of the Windows root fix in the latest commit.

An entry of `/`, or of `C:\` on Windows, is in no listing. The lookup takes
it for a directory. No test had such an entry.

On the note about an entry of /: the entry is searched. is_listed_directory calls bun_paths::basename. That is bun_core::strings::basename (src/paths/lib.rs:283), and its POSIX arm returns an empty name for / (src/bun_core/lib.rs:2379). The function at src/paths/resolve_path.rs:2326 is bun_paths::resolve_path::basename, the one for the shell builtins. The lookup does not call it.

A release build of ca1803f, Node v26.3.0 and a release build of main 69f4077 give:

call this PR Node main
_findPath("./etc/hostname", ["/"]) /etc/hostname /etc/hostname false
_findPath("etc/hostname", ["/"]) /etc/hostname /etc/hostname false
_findPath("etc/hostname", ["//"]) /etc/hostname /etc/hostname false
_findPath("tmp", ["/"]) false false false

No test had such an entry, so 45f5726 adds one row: the request is the path of a fixture file from the root of the file system, and the entry is / (C:\ on Windows). The commit changes tests only.

Node.js v26.3.0 on Windows does not search `C:\` as an entry. Its loader
namespaces the path two times, and `\\?\C:\` becomes `\\?\C:`, which is the
volume. Bun searches `C:\`, as both search `/`. The run of the file in
Node.js on Windows skips the test.

Pushed 927ce0b (tests only).

The row for the root of the file system failed in the Node run of the file on Windows (x64 and aarch64). Bun passed it there. Node v26.3.0 on Windows does not search an entry of C:\:

  • The loader's stat() calls path.toNamespacedPath("C:\\"), which gives \\?\C:\.
  • InternalModuleStat (src/node_file.cc) namespaces the path again. PathResolve (src/path.cc) reads \\? as a device root and drops the last separator, so the path is \\?\C:. That names the volume, and the loader takes the entry for no directory.
  • path.win32.resolve("\\\\?\\C:\\") shows the same result in JS: \\?\C:.

The root of a share does not have this problem, because \\?\UNC\server\share without the last separator is still the root of the share. So the share test passes in Node.

Bun searches C:\, as Bun and Node search /. The row is now a test of its own, and the Node run skips it on Windows. The description lists the difference.
