docs: say what require() returns for a mock whose async factory uses await - #48000
docs/test/mocks.mdx says that module mocks support both import and require. It does not say what require() returns when the factory is an async function that uses await.
Since bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833, require() then returns the original module and does not call the factory, until something imports the module. Bun 1.4.4 throws TypeError: require() async module "<path>" is unsupported. use "await import()" instead. Only the description of bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 states the change.
The existing test (mock-module.test.ts:828) covers a builtin and a package, and does not count factory calls.
Fix
One paragraph in docs/test/mocks.mdx, below the import and require example: the rule before any import of the module, and how to get the mock.
A new test pins it for mock.module(), vi.mock() and jest.mock(), on a file, a CommonJS file, a package and a builtin. A second case: require() still returns the original after a factory rejects.
Verified: bun bd test test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts, 310 pass and 1 todo. The fixture also passes with --isolate and --isolate=modules.
Background
An import waits for the promise of a factory. require() is synchronous and cannot.
canRequireOriginalOfModuleMock() (src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp:4510) detects an async factory with an await that nothing has called. handleVirtualModuleResult() (src/jsc/bindings/ModuleLoader.cpp:457) then gives require() the original module.
Vitest 5.0.3 and 5.1.0 (Node 26.3.0) give require() the original module for the same files.
Considered the 1.4.4 TypeError, and a require() that calls the factory. Both change what bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 chose. This PR changes no code.
Notes
The rows.dep.js holds export const v = "real";. dep.cjs holds exports.v = "real";. via.cjs holds const d = require("./dep.js"); exports.got = () => d.v;. The file of row 4:
bun test on Linux x64. 1.4.4 is the release (38afee6). Main is a debug build of b1305dd. The Vitest files import from vitest, in a package with "type": "module".

Each sentence of the paragraph, on main.
Before any import, require() does not call the factory: three require() calls in one test print real each time, and the factory runs 0 times. The same holds for jest.mock(), vi.doMock(), await mock.module() in a test, and vi from vitest.
require() returns the original module: rows 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9. Also a package and node:os.
Import the module first: a static import of the module above the import of via.cjs prints mocked,mocked.
require() returns the mock once the factory's promise is fulfilled: rows 7 and 8. require(), await import(), require() prints real,mocked,mocked for a file, a package and node:os.
A factory that rejects: require(), import(), require(), import(), require() prints real, rejected, real, rejected, real, and the factory runs 2 times. A factory that rejects once prints real, rejected, real, mocked, mocked.
What decides the case. The factory must be an async function whose own body has an await. An await that the run does not reach still counts. An await inside a nested function does not count.
The new test. The fixture mocks ./mod, ./mod.cjs, cjs-pkg and node:os with an async factory that awaits. The first case checks that two rounds of require() return the originals and call no factory. It then imports each module, and checks that require() returns the mocks and that each factory ran once. The same fixture with the await removed fails the first check. The second case mocks ./sub/thing with a factory that rejects once. It checks that require() returns the original before the import and after the rejected import, and the mock after the next import.
Two shapes that the paragraph does not describe. Both are as main has them. Neither is in the description of #44833.
The factory is not an async function and returns a pending promise, for example () => import("./dep.mock.js"). require() calls the factory and throws the TypeError. A require() in a test does the same on 1.4.4. The row 9 shape differs, where a CommonJS file requires the module at load under a hoisted vi.mock(). jest.mock() prints the same as the first row:
mocked module
1.4.4
main
Vitest 5.1.0
./dep.js
exit 0, mocked
exit 1, TypeError

exit 1, TypeError
exit 0, real
a package
exit 0, real
exit 1, TypeError
exit 0, real
node:os
exit 0, real
exit 1, TypeError
exit 0, real
The factory is an async function that awaits, and an import() of the module is in flight.
The import has called the factory, and the factory has not settled. require() in the file that defines the factory returns the original. So does require() in a file which that file loads meanwhile. require() in a CommonJS file that was loaded earlier throws the TypeError for a mocked file, and returns the original for node:os. Vitest 5.1.0 prints real for the mocked file in each case. 1.4.4 throws the TypeError for the mocked file in each case.
The factory takes importOriginal, and the import is still loading the original. A CommonJS file that the original imports requires the mocked module. require() calls the factory and throws the TypeError (canRequireOriginalOfModuleMock() returns false, BunPlugin.cpp:4516). If the CommonJS file does not catch it, the import rejects. That import fails on Vitest 5.1.0 too.
Changed after review. The first push said that require() does not call the factory, with no condition, and that it returns the mock once the factory has settled. Both were too wide. The second bullet of shape 2 shows a require() that calls the factory. After a factory rejects, require() still returns the original. The paragraph and the test title now say "before any import of the module", and the paragraph says "fulfilled".
The debug build prints 367d939d9 as its revision. That value is stale. The binary was built from b1305dd: it prints the main column, and 1.4.4 does not.

…settled
docs/test/mocks.mdx gets one paragraph below the import and require
example. require() does not call an async factory that uses await. It
returns the original module until an import has called the factory, and
the mock once the factory has settled.
A test in mock-module.test.ts pins each sentence for mock.module(),
vi.mock() and jest.mock(), on a file, a CommonJS file, a package and a
builtin.
Reproduced on Linux x64 with bun test on the ten files in the PR notes: the 1.4.4 release (38afee6), a debug build of main (b1305dd), and Vitest 5.0.3 and 5.1.0 on Node 26.3.0.
Before any import of the module, require() of a module whose mock factory is an async function that uses await returns the original module on main. That is the behaviour that bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 states, and Vitest prints the same.
CI: build 137933 finished with 28 red test files. They are 27 files under test/aot/ and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts. All 28 also fail on main, and the commit message of bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 lists them as known failures. 38 more tests passed on a retry. This PR touches only docs/test/mocks.mdx and test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts. CI ran that test file at 9a5c3d4, and it has no failure on any lane.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The documentation describes how require() behaves before and after an async mock factory settles. Parameterized tests cover mock.module, vi.mock, and jest.mock across ESM, CommonJS, package, and builtin modules, including factory rejection and retry.

Summary
require() behavior with async factories docs/test/mocks.mdx, test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts
The docs state that require() returns the original module until import() invokes and fulfills the async factory. Tests verify behavior before and after fulfillment across three mocking APIs and four module types. They also verify that a rejected factory leaves the original module available and that a later import retries the factory.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding on the test, I checked the new docs paragraph against the runtime it describes: the "async factory that uses await" condition matches hasUncalledFactoryThatAwaits in src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp (async parse mode without AsyncFunctionWithoutAwaitFeature), and the "returns the original until an import has called it / returns the mock once settled" sequence matches the canRequireOriginalOfModuleMock gate at ModuleLoader.cpp:457. The USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 fail-first rule does not apply here since the PR changes no runtime code and only pins behavior that landed in #44833.
Extended reasoning...
The PR adds one docs paragraph to docs/test/mocks.mdx and one spawned-fixture test.each case in test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts; no native or runtime code changes and no security-sensitive surface. One confirmed inline finding on the strength of the test's calls assertion remains for the author; the docs text itself was cross-checked against the source and reads consistently with it.
…odule
require() can call an async factory that awaits while an import is
loading the original of the module. The paragraph now states the rule
for the time before any import. It says "fulfilled", not "settled":
after a factory rejects, require() still returns the original.
The test title gets the same scope. The fixture gets a case for a
factory that rejects once.

docs: say what require() returns while an async mock factory has not settled
docs: say what require() returns for a mock whose async factory uses awaitNov 6, 2026
On the review nitpick about the time while a factory runs (mock-module.test.ts:918-920): I did not add that case.
The paragraph makes no claim about that window. It states the rule before any import of the module, and the result once the factory's promise is fulfilled. The fixture checks both.
require() cannot return the mock early. The mock object does not exist until the factory's promise is fulfilled.
On main that window has two results. require() in the file that defines the factory returns the original (real,real for a file and a package, then mocked,mocked). require() in a CommonJS file that was loaded earlier throws TypeError: require() async module. The PR notes list both, and the existing test at mock-module.test.ts:858 pins the builtin case.
Which result is intended for the rest of that window is a maintainer decision, so this PR does not pin more of it.
