bun test: nest results under describe scopes (streaming POC, rebased) - #48075
Proof of concept. I don't expect this to merge. It makes the case for #3342 with a small diff that's current with main.
Rebased onto main @ b1305ddc7ce. Supersedes #35793.
Ref #3342. Alternative to #48076. Both PRs solve the same problem, so pick one (or neither).
What it does
Each describe scope prints once, as a header line. Its tests are indented under it, two spaces per level. Headers print lazily, right before the first result inside that scope, and print again if results from another scope came in between. Nothing is buffered, so each line still prints as soon as its test finishes.
Before (main)
demo.test.ts:
(pass) math > arithmetic > add
error: expect(received).toBe(expected)
...
(fail) math > arithmetic > subtract
(pass) math > is a module
(skip) all skipped > x
(pass) top-level test
After
demo.test.ts:
math
arithmetic
(pass) add
error: expect(received).toBe(expected)
...
(fail) subtract
(pass) is a module
all skipped
(skip) x
(pass) top-level test
describe(() => …) with no name adds no header and no indent level.
The end-of-run skip/todo/fail lists keep the flat a > b > name format.
--reporter=dots is unchanged. --only-failures nests the same way. JUnit and LCOV output are unchanged.
Scope data: reuses --reporter's record
main already sends each test's describe chain to the coordinator as {scope_name, scope_line} pairs in the structured TestDone record (runner::encode_test_case), which --reporter uses. This PR uses that record directly. The POC's own \x1f-joined scope_path string is gone.
Gated, as planned. The worker attaches the record when --reporter=junit is set or the line is nested (not --dots) and the coordinator prints it (not worker_stands_for_one_process). Otherwise the frame is the same as on main. Without junit, the record has no failure detail.
The coordinator decodes the record with runner::decode_test_case when not in dots mode. It reuses the same header-diff logic as single-process mode.
Single-process mode reads DescribeScope directly, with no encode/decode.
⚠️ Breaking change in default output
Nesting is the default here. Anything that parses bun test console output and expects (pass) a > b > name lines will break. Several tests in this repo did. They now use a new flattenNestedTestOutput() helper in test/harness.ts. If maintainers want this opt-in instead, a reporter like --reporter=tree would do the same thing without changing the default.
Performance
Release builds, macOS. 50 files × 100 tests = 5k tests, describes 4 deep. fixture-fail has 1 failing test per file (50 failures). 1 warmup + 7 runs; stdout to /dev/null, stderr piped, NO_COLOR=1, /usr/bin/time -l. --parallel RSS is ru_maxrss (largest single process, not a sum across workers).

Wall time is the same within noise for all three. Buffered uses about 0.2–0.3 MiB more peak RSS. Not measured: time to first output (buffered is slower here by design) and much larger suites or failure counts.

Verification
On the debug build: bun-test, bun_test, describe, nested-describes, concurrent, test-filter-lifecycle-snapshot, regressions 12782/19875/20092, parallel, coverage, junit, plus the vitest/jest compat tests that now go through flattenNestedTestOutput (vitest-flavor, vi-utils, vitest-apis, expect-deferred, test-test, jest-each, test-error-code-done-callback, test-auto-import-jest-globals, isolation, fake-timers, failure-skip, dom-nodes).
Not yet done: a USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 fail-check of the new and changed tests since the rebase. rust:check-all was not run because no platform-gated code was touched.
… scope path (oven-sh#3342)
Rebased onto main @ b1305dd (squashed re-port of oven-sh#35793).
- Default reporter prints each describe header once and indents tests beneath it;
unnamed describes don't take an indent level. --dots and the end-of-run
skip/todo/fail recap keep the flat `a > b > name` form.
- --parallel: the coordinator owns header state. Scopes travel on main's existing
structured TestDone record (encode_test_case: {scope_name, scope_line} list),
attached when --reporter=junit is set or the line is nested. Without junit the
record carries no failure detail.
- Single process reads scopes from the DescribeScope tree directly.
- test/harness: flattenNestedTestOutput() rebuilds flat lines for tests that
collect `(pass) scope > name` result lists.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The command-line test reporter now prints named describe scopes as headers above indented results. Parallel output tracks scope headers per file. Tests and documentation reflect nested output, while recap lines retain flat scope paths.

Summary
Reporter formatting and scope state src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/bun_test.rs
The reporter supports nested and flat layouts, tracks emitted scope headers, and clears scope state when it enters a new file. Recaps retain flat test paths.
Workers include structured test data when the coordinator needs scope information. The coordinator emits scope headers and resets tracked headers when it changes files.
Tests and snapshots cover nested output, parallel files, filtering, unnamed scopes, and flat recaps. The harness adds a helper that flattens nested output for assertions. Documentation examples show nested test results.
Possibly related PRs
oven-sh/bun#39112: Its done-callback tests inspect result lines that this PR changes to nested output, and the affected assertions now flatten the output.
oven-sh/bun#48076: Both PRs change default bun test output to nest results under describe scopes. This PR streams results and re-emits scope headers; #48076 buffers results per file.

Merge Risk: Low · up to c98ed
Parallel output can omit a scope header in an unusually deep unnamed nesting case. The issue is bounded and has an available workaround.

Review comments at @docs/test/reporters.mdx:
- Line 44: Update the documentation sentence introducing nested tests to clarify
that a scope header appears before its first displayed result and may appear
again when results from another scope or file intervene.
Review comments at @src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:
- Around line 3153-3157: Update scope matching used by local and parallel
reporting so consecutive sibling describes with the same name remain distinct
even when both have line number zero. Preserve and compare a unique identity for
each describe scope rather than relying only on the name and line number; use
the existing scope and reporter symbols in this flow.
- Around line 3135-3137: Update write_indent to emit indentation in repeated
full-width chunks plus the remaining spaces, so depths beyond INDENT_SPACES
capacity retain their exact indentation. Add an assertion at the 33-scope
boundary verifying the exact indentation depth.
- Around line 3602-3613: Update the `Self::test_case_report` call in the
`coordinator_prints_nested` path to provide the collected named scopes used to
indent the result for header generation, so the outer describe header is
printed. Keep JUnit’s scope data unchanged; do not replace or mutate the scopes
stored in `sequence` for the JUnit report.
Review comments at @test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts:
- Around line 2078-2086: Update the test “each file re-announces its describe
scopes under --parallel” to force an A → B → A result order using
condition-based synchronization, then assert that A’s describe-scope headers
appear before its second result. Keep the existing initial-header checks and
verify the returning-file behavior without relying on timing delays.
Review comments at @test/harness.ts:
- Line 2458: Update the helper containing the candidate check using depthOf so
it recognizes root describe headers without interpreting leading spaces in their
titles as indentation; preserve those spaces in the title while ensuring the
header is consumed and the resulting scope is correct.
- Around line 2455-2459: Update the scope-flattening logic around `pending`,
`depthOf`, and `noise` so `Expected values` is preserved as a scope name and a
bare raw-string error does not replace or disappear from an already printed
scope. Distinguish diagnostic noise from scope names and retain both the scope
and error in the flattened output.

- Track printed describe headers by scope id instead of (name, line); line is 0 unless JUnit is on
- Send scope ids over parallel IPC
- write_indent no longer caps at 32 levels
- flattenNestedTestOutput: keep leading spaces in titles, don't treat 'Expected ...' scopes or bare raw-error values as noise/headers

- Around line 2107-2142: Add a deadline to the local waitFor helper in the “a
file's scopes are re-announced” test so polling stops with an error that
identifies the missing marker. Ensure the parent test verifies that this failure
is surfaced rather than relying on the runner timeout, while preserving the
existing marker ordering assertions.
