Problem

  • test/aot/the-fuzzer-judges-as-it-says.test.ts takes 74 s on debian 13 x64-asan (build 135385). It ends 21 s after every other file of its group.
  • Two serial tests split it into four parts. Most of the time is JavaScript on one thread.
  • Under bun bd test, 3 or 4 of its 15 tests fail on main.

Fix

  • All 15 tests are one concurrent group. The --aot builds begin first. "every source makes a program" runs in a child process (new fixture).
  • A fuzz() run no longer walks the 12,583 files of test/aot/parallel. 611 expect() calls become 70: CI requests a collection at each call.
  • Assertions: six .kind checks compare the whole verdict. Compiled runs compare exact stdout, plain runs their exit code. "what lies beside a program" compares verdict and output.
  • bun bd test <file>: 405 s and 379 s before (4 and 3 tests fail), 191 s to 218 s after (all pass). Release ASAN build with CI's environment: 44.6 s to 19.4 s (medians). CI x64-asan: 25 s and 31 s.

Background

  • bun test runs consecutive test.concurrent tests as one group, and a serial test ends it. ASAN builds start 5 at a time (src/options_types/context.rs:547).
  • The memory test allowed 256 MB. An ASAN build holds 245 MB to print one line, a debug build 366 MB. The limit is now 256 MB above that.
  • Not done: a second child process for the 400 programs one test draws (7.6 s with ASAN). It needs that test first and its programs as JSON.
Notes

Measurements. All on one machine with 12 processors. The ASAN binary is a local --profile=release-asan build of main, stripped as scripts/runner.node.ts strips it, run with the environment that the runner sets for this file (BUN_GARBAGE_COLLECTOR_LEVEL=1, BUN_JSC_randomIntegrityAuditRate=1.0, BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1, BUN_DESTRUCT_VM_ON_EXIT=1, the ASAN_OPTIONS and LSAN_OPTIONS of the lane).

before after
bun bd test (debug build with ASAN) 405.4 s, 378.9 s (4 and 3 of 15 fail) 217.9 s, 214.5 s, 191.0 s, 210.3 s, 204.4 s (15 pass)
CI, debian 13 x64-asan 73.8 s (build 135385) 24.7 s (build 135790), 31.4 s (build 135804)
CI, alpine 3.23 x64 19 s (build 135385) 14.2 s (build 135790), 10.1 s (build 135804)
CI, alpine 3.23 aarch64 16 s (build 135385) 9.1 s (build 135790), 8.7 s (build 135804)

release ASAN, three files at a time on 8 processors, beside the five files of build 135385 66.3 s, 64.2 s (group 66.3 s, 64.2 s) 39.7 s, 39.2 s (group 51.4 s, 53.0 s)

peak memory of the file and its children, release ASAN 3262 MB, 3366 MB 2500 MB, 2769 MB
expect() calls 611 70

The file uses less processor time, but about 2.9 processors at once where it used 1.7. No release build without ASAN was measured locally.

The CI builds do not run the file the same way. In build 135385 it ran beside two other files. In builds 135790 and 135804 it is a changed file, and the runner runs a changed file by itself at the start of the shard. Build 135804 has the change for a skipped test (below), build 135790 does not. The row "three files at a time" above is the local measurement of the first way.

Where the time was. With a release ASAN build the two --aot builds take 3.9 s and 1.9 s. The rest is the thread of the test file:

  • TypeScript reads its libraries and Bun's typings once for each of four checkers: 8.7 s.
  • One test draws 400 programs: 7.6 s.
  • "every source makes a program" draws from 317 sources: 10.5 s. As a child process it takes 8.1 s beside the other tests. Its process is started with spawned() of fuzz/beds.ts, as the fuzzer starts a Bun. The harness sets Malloc=1 in bunEnv for test/aot on ASAN, which takes the same program to 20 s and 2.6 GB.
  • fuzz() calls allSources(), which walked test/aot/parallel three times: 0.49 s for each of 8 calls (5.6 s with a debug build). The tests name generator sources only, so 7 of these calls get a folder without programs.
  • One test called expect() 551 times in loops over the drawn programs. With BUN_GARBAGE_COLLECTOR_LEVEL=1, expect() and each matcher request a collection (auto_garbage_collect() in src/runtime/test_runner/expect.rs). Alone, that test takes 10.8 s before and 7.6 s after, its three calls of allSources() included.

Why tests fail under bun bd test on main.

  • fuzz() takes the start of its 60 s from before it loads the sources. A debug build needs longer than that before the first round, so the run draws 0 programs. The runs that end by a number of programs get a clock that stands still (Settings.now).
  • bun-debug holds 366 MB to print one line, and the memory test allowed 256 MB.
  • "every source makes a program" had no timeout argument, so 5 s. bun test then kills the children of the test, and the source module-graphs-bundled-first, which starts bun build, makes no program.
  • The process that "what a bed started ends when the fuzzer is killed" watches ended by its own limit of 120 s while the thread of the test was busy. The limit is now the timeout of the test.

Other changes.

  • The memory test is concurrent. Its comment said that nothing else may keep the thread busy that watches the memory. The watcher is a Worker (test/aot/harness/memory-watcher.ts), and a-busy-caller-unbinds-no-child.test.ts holds it to that.
  • threads: 4 for the one bed that builds, as fuzz/run.ts sets it. With a debug build the each-a-program build takes 49 s of the 60 s that it may take on one thread, and 28 s on four. With a release ASAN build: 3.9 s and 2.9 s.
  • With the --aot test first, the release ASAN median is 20.1 s. With that test at its old place it is 22.0 s (5 runs each, interleaved).
  • A skipped test no longer ends the concurrent group. The helper unless() answered one.skip, which is a serial test, so the tests behind it waited for those in front of it. On Alpine the test that needs unshare is skipped (14 pass, 1 skip in build 135790), and the file ran as two groups there. one.concurrent.skipIf() keeps the group. With a release build on 4 processors and no unshare: median 4.79 s before, 4.25 s after (5 runs each, interleaved).
  • From review: the two tests that compare what a program prints under plain Bun compare its exit code too. A plain run that printed its line and then ended with another code passed before.
  • test/expected-durations.json and test/parallel-allowlist.json are generated from CI and are not changed here.
  • Also run: test/aot/every-test-runs-in-ci.test.ts (it reaches the fixture) and test/aot/test-files-self-skip.test.ts.

no test proof · iteration 1 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/aot/the-fuzzer-judges-as-it-says.test.ts

All 15 cases are one concurrent group. Two serial cases split the file
into four parts that ran one after another.

- The case that builds with the compiler begins first, on the four
  threads that fuzz/run.ts gives a build.
- "every source makes a program" runs in a process of its own, which
  the-fuzzer-judges-as-it-says.fixture.ts is the program of.
- The case about memory runs beside the others. Its limit is 256 MB more
  than the Bun under test holds to print a line.
- A run of fuzz() gets a folder without programs and a clock that stands
  still, so it ends by its number of programs.
- The checks of the drawn programs call expect() once for each question,
  not once for each program.

The assertions compare whole verdicts, the exact output of the compiled
runs, and the output, exit code and stderr of the new process.

Status: closed. The diff no longer applies.

#47316 renamed the test file to test/aot/fuzzer-judging.test.ts and rewrote parts of it, and #47942 changed it again. The closing comment has the details.

The measurements in the description are of the old file, on the commit that this branch starts from.

Walkthrough

The changes add a fixture that tests selected sources across seeds. The tests update compiler verdict and project checks, add source-generation coverage, and adjust fuzzer test isolation and resource limits.

Changes

Fuzzer judge test coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Source selection and generation coverage
test/aot/the-fuzzer-judges-as-it-says.fixture.ts, test/aot/the-fuzzer-judges-as-it-says.test.ts
The fixture tests selected sources across seeds 0–23. Subprocess checks cover all-source generation, while predicate-based checks cover multi-file declarations, package metadata, directives, and barrel imports and exports.
Compiler verdicts and project setup
test/aot/the-fuzzer-judges-as-it-says.test.ts
Compiler-backed tests compare default and each-a-program modes. Verdict checks compare complete results, and beside-project checks cover plain output, build errors, configuration, modules, and typings.
Fuzzer isolation and resource limits
test/aot/the-fuzzer-judges-as-it-says.test.ts
Tests use an empty temporary programs directory and a fixed clock by default. Memory coverage measures Bun’s RSS, and the spawned child uses the test timeout.

Explanation

The description provides a clear explanation of what the PR does and how the changes were verified, including test results, performance measurements, failure causes, and additional tests. It does not use the template headings “What does this PR do?” and “How did you verify your code works?”, but it contains the required information in the Problem, Fix, Background, Measurements, and Other changes sections.

166-168: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Low value

Check the plain run's exit code in this test.

The test asserts printed: plain.stdout but never checks plain.exitCode. A plain run that prints 1\n and then exits nonzero still passes. The verdict does not depend on that exit code, so the gap affects only the plain-run check.

Suggested fix
           printed: plain.stdout,
+          exitCode: plain.exitCode,
           verdict,
         printed: "1\n",
+        exitCode: 0,
         verdict: { kind: "build error", detail: "error: it builds nothing", signature: "error: it builds nothing" },

As per coding guidelines, test code should "Always check exit codes and test error scenarios."

The two cases that compare what a program prints under plain Bun now
compare its exit code with it. A plain run that printed its line and then
ended with another code passed before.

The review of c994cf3 has two findings.

Timeout arguments (line 99). Only one of the two is new. The --aot test has its timeout on main and only moves. The argument on "every source makes a program" stays. Under bun bd test that test waits 170 s for its process, and on main the same test fails there at the default of 5 s. The thread has the two runs.

Exit code of the plain run (lines 166 to 168). Applied in 839963c. "what lies beside a program" now compares plain.exitCode with what the program printed. "a program of several files lies in a folder of its own and is judged as a whole" had the same gap in its three comparisons of a plain run, so it compares the exit code there too.

bun bd test test/aot/the-fuzzer-judges-as-it-says.test.ts passes with the change: 15 pass, 210 s.

…urrent group

`unless()` answered `one.skip` for a case that does not run. That case is
serial, so it ended the concurrent group, and the cases behind it waited
for those in front of it. On Alpine the case that needs `unshare` is
skipped, and the file ran as two groups there.

`one.concurrent.skipIf()` skips the case and keeps the group.

Closing. This diff no longer applies.

The renamed file keeps the two serial tests between its concurrent tests. It takes 44.9 s on the ASAN lane (test/expected-durations.json). The same change would have to be made again on that file.
