Problem

• dir.read(null) and dir.close(null) return a promise and run the operation, so close(null) closes the directory. Node.js v26.12.1 throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE: The "callback" argument must be of type function. Received null.
• The cause is the test !$isUndefinedOrNull(cb) in class Dir (src/js/node/fs.ts:1192 and :1234). fix(node/fs): better validation in fs.Dir #16806 added it and did not test null. Node tests callback === undefined, then calls validateFunction (read, close).
• No user reported this. A comparison of node:fs callbacks with Node.js found it.

Fix

• Both methods test cb !== undefined. null reaches validateFunction, which throws before the operation starts.
• Verified: test/js/node/fs/dir.test.ts (4 new cases fail on 1.4.3, 32 pass with the fix). Also test-fs-opendir.js, cp.test.ts, promises.test.js.
• Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 7 addressed. Rejected: Node's closed-state check in read, see Background.

Background

• fs.opendir returns an fs.Dir. Its read and close return a promise when the callback is undefined.
• Node's closed-state check in read was weighed and left out. It makes read(fn) on a closed Dir throw from the call, which changes a valid call.
• A direct port of that check is wrong (node:fs: do rm's directory check natively, so fs.rm(path, cb) throws invalid arguments from the call #45377 has one). read(cb) throws inside a read callback that closed the Dir, where Node.js returns. A correct port needs Node's operation queue.

Downsides

• A program that passes null and uses the returned promise now gets a throw. It throws in Node.js too.
• On a closed Dir, read(null) now throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE, as 0 does. Node.js throws ERR_DIR_CLOSED there. This PR does not change that.

Notes

Repro. Node.js v26.3.0 and v26.12.1 give the same output.

const fs = require("fs");
const d = fs.opendirSync(".");
for (const [name, f] of [["read(null)", () => d.read(null)], ["close(null)", () => d.close(null)]]) {
  try { const r = f(); console.log(name, "returned", Object.prototype.toString.call(r)); }
  catch (e) { console.log(name, "threw", e.code, e.message); }
}
try { d.closeSync(); console.log("closeSync ok: dir was still open"); } catch (e) { console.log("closeSync threw", e.code); }

Node.js v26.12.1 and this branch:

read(null) threw ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE The "callback" argument must be of type function. Received null
close(null) threw ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE The "callback" argument must be of type function. Received null
closeSync ok: dir was still open

Bun 1.4.3:

read(null) returned [object Promise]
close(null) returned [object Promise]
closeSync threw ERR_DIR_CONCURRENT_OPERATION

All argument values. I ran read and close on an open and on a closed Dir with 13 argument values: no argument, undefined, null, 0, "", false, true, {}, [], 5, a symbol, a bigint and a function. That is 52 rows.

• Bun 1.4.3 differs from Node.js in 15 rows. This branch differs in 12.
• The 3 rows that this PR changes are read(null) and close(null) on an open Dir, and close(null) on a closed Dir.
• The 12 rows that remain are read with an argument on a closed Dir.

A closed Dir.

Call	Node.js v26.12.1	Bun 1.4.3	This branch
read()	rejects ERR_DIR_CLOSED	rejects ERR_DIR_CLOSED	rejects ERR_DIR_CLOSED
read(undefined)	throws ERR_DIR_CLOSED	rejects ERR_DIR_CLOSED	rejects ERR_DIR_CLOSED
read(fn)	throws ERR_DIR_CLOSED	fn(ERR_DIR_CLOSED)	fn(ERR_DIR_CLOSED)
read(null)	throws ERR_DIR_CLOSED	rejects ERR_DIR_CLOSED	throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE
read(0)	throws ERR_DIR_CLOSED	throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE	throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE
close(null)	throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE	rejects ERR_DIR_CLOSED	throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE

Why the closed-state check of read is not in this PR.

• Node.js throws ERR_DIR_CLOSED from the call for a read with an argument on a closed Dir (source). Bun reports it through the callback or the promise. fs: port Node.js v26.3.0 fs tests and fix the gaps they surface — cp error semantics, watcher event delivery, watch ignore+AbortSignal, FileHandle pull/writer, glob port, opendir/Dir, mkdtempDisposable, rmdir-recursive end-of-life, mock.fn (+119 tests) #31830 moved the check from the top of read into the queued operation. Bun 1.3.x threw from the call.
• I put a direct port on this branch to measure it: a read with an argument throws when the Dir is closed. All 52 rows then equal Node.js. dir.test.ts still passes, so no test in that file sees the change.
• The direct port breaks the program below. Node.js v26.3.0 and v26.12.1 print second read returned and exit 0. On 1.4.3 and on this branch the second callback also gets ERR_DIR_CLOSED, and the exit code is 0. With the direct port the second read throws inside the callback. That is an uncaught exception, and the exit code is 1.

const dir = fs.opendirSync(directoryWithTwoFiles);
dir.read(() => {
  dir.close(() => {});
  dir.read(() => {});
  console.log("second read returned");
});

• The cause is Node's operation queue. Node keeps the Dir busy from the start of a read from the disk until one tick after its callback (L151-L156, L174). A close in that window waits in the queue (L259-L264), so the Dir is not closed yet for the next call. Bun closes at once.
• The check limited to a Dir with no pending operation is also wrong. For dir.read(() => dir.read(cb)); dir.close(cb) it throws inside the first callback, where Node.js returns.
• The order is also not exact for an invalid callback. On a Dir that was closed earlier, Node.js throws ERR_DIR_CLOSED for read(null). In the window above, Node.js throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE, because the Dir is not closed yet. Bun has closed it at once in both cases, so each order of the two checks is right in one case only. This PR keeps the order that Bun has.
• So a correct port is a port of that queue. It also changes calls that work today. In Node.js, closeSync() and readSync() inside the callback of a read from the disk throw ERR_DIR_CONCURRENT_OPERATION. Bun allows them, and test/js/node/fs/fs.test.ts:7984 calls closeSync() there. That change needs its own decision and its own tests.

Other open PRs.

• node:fs: do rm's directory check natively, so fs.rm(path, cb) throws invalid arguments from the call #45377 has a direct port of the closed-state check in read at 01dcec5. It leaves close on the old test. Its read hunk conflicts with this PR.
• node:fs: fs.Dir reads from a native directory stream #45416 rewrites class Dir. Its diff does not touch the two changed lines, so it takes this fix on a rebase. A trial merge gives the same 3 conflict hunks in fs.ts with and without this PR.
• fs.fstat and fs.read have a different gap. They do not check the callback, run the operation, and then throw an uncaught TypeError. node:fs: check that the callback of fs.read and fs.fstat is a function #47995 fixes both. node:fs: honor options.signal in the async stat family #47310 (fs.fstat) and fix(fs): match Node read and write argument defaults #44476 (fs.read) also carry the check.
• fs.glob(pattern, null, cb) and fs.globSync(pattern, null) take null as options, where Node.js throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE. That is an options argument behind another validator, so it is not in this PR. fs: reject null options in fs.glob/fs.globSync #34198 had a fix and closed without a merge. I found no open PR for it.

Tests.

• I ran these on Linux x64, with 1.4.3 and with a debug build of this branch. CI runs dir.test.ts on macOS and Windows too.
• Each new case asserts toThrowWithCode(TypeError, "ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE"). toThrowWithCode takes only a throw from the call. expect().toThrow() also passes for a rejected promise.
• One case reads a directory with two files. After the first entry, read(null) throws, and the second entry is still there. A build in which the invalid read takes an entry before it throws fails only that case.
• dir.test.ts on 1.4.3: 28 pass, 4 fail. A debug build with the old test in both methods gives the same result.
• A build that keeps the old test and rejects null with ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE also fails the 4 cases.
• Also run on the debug build: node's test-fs-opendir.js, cp.test.ts, promises.test.js, and the Dir and opendir tests of fs.test.ts. The typecheck of the built-in modules reports no error in fs.ts.

Cost for other callers. None. One comparison replaces one comparison in each method. The bundled text of node:fs in the debug build goes from 32,176 to 32,164 bytes.

Self-review. 9 concerns.

1. The description said that node:fs: fs.Dir reads from a native directory stream #45416 needs a follow-up edit. It does not. Fixed.
2. The description did not name node:fs: do rm's directory check natively, so fs.rm(path, cb) throws invalid arguments from the call #45377, which edits the same read line. Fixed.
3. The tests passed for a rejected promise, and did not assert the code. Fixed with toThrowWithCode.
4. The description did not say that a comparison with Node.js found the bug, with no report. Fixed.
5. The description did not name the PRs for the other callback gaps. Fixed.
6. The description did not name the valid calls that Node.js throws for on a closed Dir. Fixed in Background and in the table above.
7. The description cited only Node.js v26.3.0 and had no source link. Fixed.
8. Write read in Node's order. Rejected, for the reasons above.
9. Add tests for that order. Rejected: they belong to that change.

The change rejects null callbacks before starting directory operations. A narrow Node.js compatibility difference remains for read(null) after closure; merging requires awareness of that limitation, rather than a broader runtime fix.

Explanation

The title names the main change: Dir.read and Dir.close now throw ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE for a null callback instead of treating null as the no-callback form. The changed code (src/js/node/fs.ts) and the new tests in dir.test.ts match this change. The title is 81 characters, which is at the upper end of concise, but it is specific and accurate.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and covers the problem, the fix, and verification. It has the template sections "What does this PR do?" (as Problem/Fix/Background) and "How did you verify your code works?" (as Verified, Tests, and Self-review). It cites the exact code locations, the test counts before and after, the Node.js behavior comparison, and the related open PRs. Its main weakness is length: most of the content sits in a long details block and in background notes that go beyond what the template asks for. The core information is present and clear. Test verification is also partly deferred to CI for the platform-specific test file, but the author states this openly.

Status

The problem reproduces on Bun 1.4.3. Main has the same two lines. Node.js v26.3.0 and v26.12.1 are the reference.

• Open a directory with fs.opendirSync("."). Call dir.read(null), then dir.close(null).
• Bun returns two promises and closes the directory. Node.js throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE from each call, and the directory stays open.
• test/js/node/fs/dir.test.ts has 4 new cases. They fail on 1.4.3 and on a debug build with main's version of the two lines. They pass on this branch.

CI

Build 138733 ran on the final head. Every job that ran passed: 14 builds, 161 test shards, 6 baseline checks, cargo-test and the binary size check. No test is red.

The build is marked as failed for one reason. Its four macOS x64 test shards expired after more than five hours in the queue, because no agent took them. The macOS x64 shards of the other builds from that time did not start either. The macOS x64 build and the four macOS aarch64 test shards passed.

The two builds before it failed only because downloads from GitHub releases returned HTTP 504 for every PR.

The diff is ready for review.

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

LGTM — two-line guard change in Dir.read/Dir.close so null reaches validateFunction and throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE synchronously, matching Node; the inline note is about pre-existing assertions in the closed-handle block and does not affect the fix itself.

Extended reasoning...

The diff changes only the callback-overload guard in Dir.read and Dir.close in src/js/node/fs.ts from $isUndefinedOrNull to a strict undefined check, so null no longer falls through to the promise path that enqueued the operation. The tests in test/js/node/fs/dir.test.ts add null to the read matrix, add a parallel close matrix, and prove via readSync/closeSync that no operation was enqueued and the handle stays open. No security-sensitive surface is touched, no CODEOWNERS entry covers these paths, and the behavior now matches Node's own code path (undefined check then validateFunction). The single inline finding concerns two pre-existing toThrow assertions that cannot distinguish sync throw from rejected promise, a test-strength nit rather than a defect in the change.

LGTM — a two-line guard change that brings Dir.read/Dir.close null-callback handling in line with Node, with tests that pin the contract.

What was reviewed:

• Both guards now match Node's callback !== undefined then validateFunction shape; undefined still selects the promise overload, and null throws before #enqueue runs, so no read/close op is started and #pendingCount is untouched.
• Grepped src/js (including ahead-of-time/) for other $isUndefinedOrNull(cb) guards on a callback — none remain.
• Tests assert TypeError + ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE via toThrowWithCode, cover read and close on open and closed handles, and the two-file case proves no entry is consumed; the closed-handle close(null) ordering (callback check before ERR_DIR_CLOSED) matches Node's close.
• I did not run dir.test.ts; the claim that the new cases fail without the fix is from reading the code, not from a run.

Extended reasoning...

The diff touches two lines in the Dir class of src/js/node/fs.ts (the cb guard in read and close) and adds tests in test/js/node/fs/dir.test.ts; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The change is small, self-contained, mirrors Node's lib/internal/fs/dir.js argument handling, and no other site in src/js shares the old pattern. The changed files are not covered by CODEOWNERS, the only third-party review state is a bot's COMMENTED review followed by a commit that added the two-file no-entry-consumed test, and my earlier inline note was a pre-existing, non-blocking assertion nit. Since my prior review the PR gained a merge from main and that new test commit, so there is something new to say.
