@Jarred-Sumner: oldest first or newest first? Keep the weak list, or only sort main's set? (Notes)

Problem

• JSMockFunction::forEachIn (src/jsc/bindings/JSMockFunction.cpp:1168) walks a weak hash set keyed by cell address. The allocator picks the order of each restore and reset.
• A property spied twice, with o.m = g between: the next test file reads the original in 8 of 20 runs (bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833, unreleased).
• Two spies that refuse the restore: # Unhandled error between tests names a different one per run.

Fix

• spyOn() numbers each spy. Restores run in that order, as in Jest and Vitest. The next file reads g. The error names the first-made spy.
• WeakMockList replaces the hash set and keeps the spies in that order, so no pass sorts.
• Verified: test/js/bun/test/mock-fn.test.js (39 new tests, main fails 35), vi-utils.test.ts, vitest-flavor.test.ts.
• Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised in the last round, 7 addressed (Notes).

Background

• A mock registers in up to three lists: spies to restore, mocks to clear, mocks to reset.
• The lists are weak. The collector calls each JSC::WeakGCHashTable after a collection to drop dead entries.
• Weighed: the number alone, with main's set sorted in every pass (about 30 lines). It is the fallback.

Downsides

• Release .text grows by 896 bytes. A bare mock() zeroes one more field. Other measured paths cost less (Notes).
• spyOn(o, "m"); o.m = o.m.bind(o); spyOn(o, "m"); mock.restore() always leaves a dead wrapper (main: 3 to 12 of 16 runs). So does a fake clock between two spies (Notes).
• A file end still reports one stuck spy, not each (follow-up).

Notes

Origin

An automated fuzz note, no issue: two refusing spies, one # Unhandled error between tests block, and the named spy varied (method in 15 of my 24 runs on main, other in 9). The hash order is from #3252. #44833 put the pass on every file boundary.

What changed since the first push

The first push (f4bdf57) took the order from the place of a spy in the list. Two review comments and two self-reviews showed cases where a spy enters the list again and so changed its place, or where a pass that script starts from inside a pass did not find a mock that main finds. The order is now a number on the spy, and the lists have the membership that main's sets have.

Question 1: which direction

After mock.restore() or the end of the file	jest-mock 30.5.2, @vitest/spy 5.1.0 (run here)	this PR (oldest first)	newest first
spyOn(o, "m"); o.m = g; spyOn(o, "m")	g	g	the original while something refers to the first spy, g after a collection
spyOn(o, "m"); o.m = o.m.bind(o); spyOn(o, "m")	a wrapper that calls the original	spyOn / jest.spyOn: a wrapper that returns undefined. vi.spyOn: as Vitest	the original
spyOn(o, "x", "get"); spyOn(o, "x")	the getter spy stays and calls through	spyOn / jest.spyOn: the getter spy stays and returns undefined (main: 4 to 10 of 12 runs). vi.spyOn: as Vitest	the original

• Oldest first is the order of Jest's _spyState, of Vitest's MOCK_RESTORE, and of Bun's own node:test port (MockTracker.restoreAll(), src/js/node/test.ts:1301).
• Rows 2 and 3 differ from Jest and Vitest because mock.restore() also resets a spyOn or jest.spyOn spy. That is as on main and needs its own decision.
• Row 1 with oldest first does not depend on the collector: g in 64 of 64 objects with and without Bun.gc(true). The registry is weak, and after o.m = g nothing refers to the first spy.
• A fake clock between two spies of setTimeout ends wrong in one direction each. spyOn, useFakeTimers(), spyOn, useRealTimers(), mock.restore() does not put the builtin back with oldest first (16 of 16 runs, main 3 of 16). The stack that starts with useFakeTimers() ends on the builtin with oldest first (16 of 16, main 8 of 16) and, by my comment below, on the fake with newest first. Draft bun test: stop a later undo from writing back a restored spy or a removed stub #48121 gives such a property one record for all its replacements.
• Newest first is what lastPatchFirst does for module mocks (BunPlugin.cpp). I built it for spies on the branch robobun/10053f09/restore-spies-newest-first. My comment below has its table and the tools that restore newest first. In this PR the direction is the comparison in takeEntryIn plus the walk of the pass.
• bun test: stop a later undo from writing back a restored spy or a removed stub #48121 and bun:test: in vi.unstubAllGlobals(), put back what a restored spy replaced, not the spy #48249 also undo stacked replacements of one property. One ruling on the direction should cover them.

Question 2: the weak list

WeakMockList is a file-local subclass of JSC::WeakGCHashTable: weak raw JSMockFunction* in a Vector, pruned at the end of each collection, as JSC::WeakGCSet does it. It adds no JSC::Weak and no finalizer. It is the first such class in src/. REVIEW.md says never to keep raw JSValues in malloc'd memory. The list is weak on purpose, and a pass moves its entries into a MarkedVector before it runs any script. @vitest/spy 5.1.0 keeps its dirty mocks the same way, in insertion-ordered sets of weak references.

The fallback keeps ActiveSpySet and sorts its snapshot by the same number, the way patchOrder and lastPatchFirst do it for module mocks. What it changes:

• A snapshot of the set arrives in hash order. So every restore pass needs a real sort (1,650 bytes as std::ranges::sort), or the walk of lastPatchFirst, which is quadratic there. The list arrives in order.
• I have a build of the number alone on 7ca0042 (a process-static counter, no fix for a terminated pass). 33 of the 38 new tests of that time pass on it. The four terminated-pass tests need their fix on the set. The reset-order test does not carry over: the reset order stays the allocator's, or costs a sort of the configured mocks in every reset.
• On that build a restore costs 1% to 3% more per spy than on main, and a reset 6% to 33% more per configured mock.

Instructions are user-mode, whole process (perf_event_open), BUN_JSC_useConcurrentJIT=0 BUN_JSC_useConcurrentGC=0, the minimum of 3 runs, differenced over two sizes. Release builds of main 2596ac5 and of this PR.

Order, in detail

• Spies are restored oldest-made first, per global. spyOn() takes the number before it copies the original's name and length and before it stores the spy. Both can run script that makes another spy. didInstall() numbers a spy whose maker did not.
• A spy keeps its number, and the list keeps the spies in that order: one that enters after a newer spy is put in front of it. So these are restored in the order they were made too: a spy whose restore threw, a spy that was installed after script in spyOn() called restoreAllMocks(), and a spy that a terminated pass did not reach. jest-mock 30.5.2 and @vitest/spy 5.1.0 give the same results in the first two cases (run here).
• resetAllMocks() visits mocks in the order they were first configured since the last reset, and clearAllMocks() in the order they were first called. Neither is put in another order: only restores overwrite each other. @vitest/spy 5.1.0 resets a vi.fn() in the same order and a vi.fn(implementation) in creation order. 5.0.3 reset every mock in creation order.
• forEachIn works as on main, with a list in place of the set. It takes every entry out, then visits the mocks. A mock that enters again while the pass runs gets a new entry, and a restoreAllMocks() or resetAllMocks() that script calls from inside the pass finds it.
• A pass that a node:vm timeout terminates puts back the mocks it did not reach, and the spy it was at if that one is still installed. On main they were dropped and never restored (7 of 8 spies in my probe).
• The list is weak, as the set was. A spy whose object is collected is not restored. A spy that was assigned over is restored only while something refers to it. bun:test: hold the spyOn target and property key as GC references so a collected spy leaks nothing #40382 is about that reference.

Not in this PR

• One error per stuck spy or vi stub at the end of a file. Jest 30 and Vitest 5 print one, and bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 says "reported once". It waits for a ruling and for bun:test: restore a spy when its object refuses to delete it #48071, which decides when a restore counts as failed.
• A restore that fails without a throw (an object frozen after spyOn()): bun:test: restore a spy when its object refuses to delete it #48071.
• The dead wrapper of rows 2 and 3 above, and a fake clock or a vi.stubGlobal() between two spies (bun test: stop a later undo from writing back a restored spy or a removed stub #48121, bun:test: in vi.unstubAllGlobals(), put back what a restored spy replaced, not the spy #48249).
• A vi.unstubAllGlobals() or vi.unstubAllEnvs() that is terminated drops the stubs it did not reach (ViUtils.cpp, the same loop shape). A spyOn() that is terminated between the store of the spy and didInstall() leaves a spy that no list knows. Both as on main.
• The undo of module mocks at the end of a file drops its exceptions. --isolate has no end-of-file pass. Both as on main.

• bun test: add jest.replaceProperty() #48242 adds a third place that installs a spy. It needs no change for the order: didInstall() numbers the spy.

Self-review

Three rounds.

• Round one, on the first cut: 12 concerns, 8 addressed, 4 moved to the follow-up for one error per stuck spy.
• Round two, on the list with the order by place: it found the four cases that led to the number per spy, and it asked for the number alone on main's set.
• Round three, on this diff: 9 concerns, 7 addressed. didInstall() numbers a spy itself. An ordered insert replaces std::ranges::sort (1,650 bytes) and a flag on the list. The neighbours and the fake-clock stacks are named. The fallback is described as measured. The reset-order test says that it is Bun's order.
• Declined in rounds two and three: to cut this PR down to the number on main's set and to send the list later. That is Question 2, with the reason above: the set hands a pass its spies in hash order.

Measured (same method as the table)

• mock call: 0 differing instruction lines of 847 (jsMockFunctionCall), 788 (jsMockFunctionConstruct) and 418 (recordInvocationOutOfLine) in llvm-objdump output with constants masked; 1377 -> 1361 instructions per call (the lowest of 3 batches of 5 runs, the batches of one binary differ by up to 1.3%)
• mock(fn)+call 3498 -> 3341; spyOn()+mockRestore() 3026 -> 2894; spyOn()+restoreAllMocks() 3146 -> 2995; f()+clearAllMocks() 1993 -> 1928; bare mock() 457.6 -> 457.9 instructions (min of 3, main vs PR)
• restoreAllMocks() per spy at 10 / 1,000 / 100,000: 3052 / 3044 / 3531 (main 3238 / 3168 / 4087); configure+resetAllMocks() per mock: 563 / 526 / 333 (main 689 / 599 / 422); reverse-configured: 569 / 533 / 342 (main 696 / 603 / 411)
• a pass in which one spy was made inside spyOn(), so it entered the list out of order: 3376 / 3051 / 3535 instructions per spy at 10 / 1,000 / 100,000, against 3376 / 3057 / 3555 without it (main 3548 / 3182 / 4105)
• per 10-spy restore pass (gdb hit counts, 1,000 passes): main makes one ActiveSpySet cell (by reading) and rehashes its buffer 3.0 times; this PR makes no cell and grows the list's buffer 0.02 times
• release .text: +896 bytes (llvm-size, main 2596ac5 vs PR); sizeof(JSMockFunction) 200 -> 208 inside the 208-byte cell; sizeof(JSMockModule) 160 -> 160; RSS per live spy 545 -> 527 bytes
• per global created (a Worker that touches no mock): 40.91 M -> 41.00 M instructions, two batches of one binary differ by 0.3%; full collection with 100,000 registered mocks: 113.7 M -> 112.7 M instructions; live Mock cells after 1e6 short-lived mocks and spies: 1 -> 1; f(); f.mockClear() for 1e6 and 2e6 rounds: RSS 53.7 MB and 53.6 MB, 1790 -> 1759 instructions per round
• misordered rounds with 8 Workers: 0 of 24,000 (a build with a process-static counter: 409)
• distinct outputs: fuzz repro 1 in 24 runs (main 2), twice-spied property 1 in 20 (main 2), three refusing spies 1 in 16 (main 6), vi.resetAllMocks() over three mocks 1 in 12 (main 5); spies lost after a terminated pass: 0 of 8 (main 7)
• ASAN debug with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1: 887 of 887 tests pass, 0 unchecked-exception reports; collection stress: 0 failures; the eden-collection test with markDirty() removed from the insert: fails (the debug build aborts on the sortedness assertion)
• test file with 10 spies, nothing fails: 455,558 -> 452,493 instructions per file (two batches of 6 runs differ by 0.1%); per called mock per vitest test: 1999 -> 1906
• allocations per round: not counted beyond the gdb line above, valgrind is not installed in my container

Also run

• The new tests 6 times with BUN_GARBAGE_COLLECTOR_LEVEL=1.
• Collection stress scripts (spies, called and configured mocks, stale entries, spies that stay, spies made during a pass, a pass inside a pass, eden and full collections) with BUN_JSC_scribbleFreeCells=1, BUN_JSC_slowPathAllocsBetweenGCs=8, BUN_JSC_collectContinuously=1, BUN_JSC_useConcurrentGC=0 and Malloc=1 on the ASAN debug build.
• A worker that is terminated inside a restore pass.
• vi-utils.test.ts, vitest-flavor.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/mock/, fake-timers/, import-meta-env.test.ts, jest-hooks.test.ts, mock-disposable.test.ts, and the "mocks and spies do not outlive their test file" tests of test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts. Some subprocess tests with --isolate=modules hit the 5 s timeout in my container on a cold cache, and pass on the next run.
• The end-of-file tests are in mock-fn.test.js, not beside their siblings in isolation.test.ts: one unrelated test of that file ("no other builtin module patches a global class when it loads") times out in my container on both builds.
• No test runs Workers that make spies at once. A process-static counter fails that only by chance, so it is the measurement above and not a test.

Not run: macOS and Windows.

^{Updated 5:50 AM PT - Nov 9th, 2026}

❌ @robobun, your commit 46be5b9 has some failures in Build #139241 (All Failures)

---

🧪   To try this PR locally:

bunx bun-pr 48098

That installs a local version of the PR into your bun-48098 executable, so you can run:

bun-48098 --bun

[robobun]

Status: the fix is pushed (7a5bfdd). 46be5b9 adds two test checks that a review asked for. The PR waits for a maintainer review and for the two answers that the description asks for at its top. This comment says how I reproduced the problem.

CI: in build 139241 on 46be5b9, 187 of 188 jobs passed and no job failed. The one missing job is a macOS x64 test shard. It expired four times before an agent was free, because that queue runs 4 to 6 hours behind. A retry of that one job in Buildkite completes the build. The other three macOS x64 shards passed, and one of them ran test/js/bun/test/mock-fn.test.js (887 pass, 0 fail). No earlier build had a failure from this change. In build 138901 all four of those jobs expired, and build 139212 ran while github.com returned HTTP 504.

Repro 1, the fuzz note. A debug build of main (b1305dd), bun test ./a.test.ts ./z.test.ts, 24 runs:

// a.test.ts
import { test, spyOn } from "bun:test";
let shut = false;
const o = new Proxy({ method() {}, other() {} }, {
  defineProperty(t, k, d) {
    if (shut) throw new Error("zz the trap refuses " + String(k));
    return Reflect.defineProperty(t, k, d);
  },
});
test("t", () => { spyOn(o, "method"); spyOn(o, "other"); shut = true; });

// z.test.ts
import { test } from "bun:test";
test("plain", () => {});

• main: one # Unhandled error between tests block. It names method in 15 runs and other in 9.
• This PR: one block. It names method in 24 of 24 runs.

Repro 2, no Proxy. Release builds, bun test ./a.test.ts ./b.test.ts, 20 runs:

// shared.ts
export const logger = { write: () => "original" };

// a.test.ts
import { spyOn, test } from "bun:test";
import { logger } from "./shared";
test("a", () => {
  spyOn(logger, "write");
  logger.write = () => "wrapped";
  spyOn(logger, "write");
});

// b.test.ts
import { test } from "bun:test";
import { logger } from "./shared";
test("b", () => console.log("next file sees: " + logger.write()));

• main: original in 9 runs, wrapped in 11. The exit code is 0 in all of them.
• This PR: wrapped in 20 of 20 runs, as jest-mock 30.5.2 and @vitest/spy 5.0.3 leave it.

Walkthrough

Mock tracking now uses ordered weak-GC lists instead of weak maps. Bulk reset and restoration process active mocks in order and restore unvisited active entries after interruption. Tests cover ordering, reconfiguration, restoration errors, garbage collection, and test-file cleanup.

Changes

Mock tracking and bulk processing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Weak-list representation and membership src/jsc/bindings/JSMockFunction.h, src/jsc/bindings/JSMockFunction.cpp	JSMockModule stores mock lists as std::unique_ptr<WeakMockList>. The registered weak-GC table removes unmarked mocks, and each mock retains at most one list entry.
Spy ordering and bulk processing src/jsc/bindings/JSMockFunction.cpp	Spy installation assigns an order before installation can run script. Bulk iteration processes active mocks and restores unvisited active entries after interruption. Test-file cleanup checks whether the spy list is nonempty.
Reset and restoration behavior tests test/js/bun/test/mock-fn.test.js	Tests cover reset order, reconfiguration, interrupted passes, restoration retries, spies created during restoration, and garbage collection.
Test-file and preload restoration tests test/js/bun/test/mock-fn.test.js	Integration tests cover restoration across test files and preloads, including errors when proxy traps refuse restoration.

Explanation

The title names the main change: spies are restored in creation order, and mocks are kept in ordered weak lists. The diff matches both parts. The title is long (17 words) but specific. It does not describe anything absent from the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is detailed and follows the repository template in substance. It has a problem statement, fix summary, verification evidence (39 new tests in mock-fn.test.js that fail on main, plus vi-utils.test.ts and vitest-flavor.test.ts), and downsides. It also has extensive measurement notes. It does not use the exact template headings "What does this PR do?" and "How did you verify your code works?". Its content does map onto both required sections, so the check passes. The description also contains a non-template open question to maintainers (oldest-first vs newest-first restore order, and whether to keep the weak list), which is a review question rather than a gap in the template.

Review comments at @src/jsc/bindings/JSMockFunction.cpp:
- Around line 971-972: Update the reconfiguration path near the `m_lists`
membership check so mocks reconfigured during a reset are registered before
returning, allowing a nested `vi.resetAllMocks()` to find and reset them.
Preserve the existing registration behavior for mocks already present in the
relevant list.
- Around line 1225-1226: Update the reservation cleanup around mock->m_lists and
hasEntryIn(list) so a nested restoreAllMocks() does not clear an outer spy’s
pending reservation before its installation completes. Keep that reservation
intact through nested restores, then clear it when the outer installation
finishes.

Review comments at @test/js/bun/test/mock-fn.test.js:
- Around line 5088-5091: Update the retry loop around
`resetAllMocksUntilTerminated()` to recreate the mock fixture before each
attempt, ensuring `c` is in the configured list even if a timeout interrupted a
prior attempt before `isSpinning` was set. Preserve the existing timeout
escalation and expected timeout assertion.
- Line 5267: Extend the restoration test around `spied(proxies)` to verify that
each outer object’s original `value` getter is restored, not just that the spies
are cleared. Save each getter before calling `spy(outer, "value", "get")`, then
compare it with the getter in the property descriptor after restoration.

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

[robobun]

A second fuzz note asked for the other answer to Question 1. I built that answer and did not open a second PR, because it conflicts with this one. The branch is robobun/10053f09/restore-spies-newest-first.

The request. After mock.restore() or jest.restoreAllMocks(), the first two stacks below must give the original in every trial. Each cell is 40 fresh objects on debug builds of main 7ca0042 and of the branch.

Stack, then a bulk restore	main	oldest first	newest first (the branch)
spyOn(o, "m", "get"); spyOn(o, "m")	original 20, undefined 20	undefined 40	original 40
spyOn(o, "m"); o.m = f; spyOn(o, "m")	original 20, f 20	f 40	original 40
a = spyOn(o, "m"); o.m = () => a(); spyOn(o, "m")	original 24, undefined 16	undefined 40	original 40

The oldest-first column is spy.mockRestore() by hand in that order, which runs the same undo as the pass. It agrees with the direction table in the notes above. A debug build of this PR's head 46be5b9 gives the same three results through mock.restore(), 40 of 40 each (measured on 2026-11-10).

What the branch is. It is the stamp and sort of Question 2. spyOn() stamps each spy from a counter on JSMockModule, and forEachIn sorts the List::Spies snapshot newest first. The change is +56 -10 lines of C++. sizeof(JSMockFunction) stays 200 and spyOn() gains 5 instructions. A spyOn() plus bulk restore round costs 3,387 instructions per spy against 3,328 on main at 16 live spies, and 3,460 against 3,338 at 1,024 (release builds, median of 7 runs). A second commit makes the older spies of a property wait when the restore of the newest one throws. The 54 tests (52 fail on main) check end states, so they also fit the list of this PR if it walks List::Spies newest first.

Limits of newest first, measured.

• The second row holds only while something references the first spy. After a collection the weak registry has lost that spy, and the result is f (40 of 40 after Bun.gc(true), as on main).
• useFakeTimers(), spy on setTimeout, useRealTimers(), spy again, bulk restore: the fake setTimeout in 40 of 40 (main: 15 of 40, oldest first by hand: the builtin in 40 of 40). The mirror shape (spy, useFakeTimers(), spy, useRealTimers(), bulk restore) gives the builtin in 40 of 40 (main: 18 of 40). bun test: stop a later undo from writing back a restored spy or a removed stub #48121 works on that undo log.
• jest-mock 30.5.2 and @vitest/spy 5.1.0 end the second row on f. Vitest 3.0.7 to 3.2.4 restored newest first ([...mocks].reverse()), and so does sinon.

If the ruling is newest first, say which mechanism you want and I move the tests to it. If the ruling is oldest first, I drop the branch.

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

Beyond the inline nit, I checked the new weak list's GC handling and its dedup bookkeeping and found nothing: WeakMockList::reconcileWeakReferencesAtGCEnd prunes with the same Heap::isMarked deadness the replaced WeakMapImpl used, moveTo plus the hasEntryIn bits keep one entry per mock across leave/re-enter and the enterAgainAfterTermination path, and didFinishTestFile's while (spies && !spies->isEmpty()) loop ends after at most one extra pass over a stale entry. I did not run the tests or the BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks / BUN_GARBAGE_COLLECTOR_LEVEL passes the description reports, so those results remain the author's.

Extended reasoning...

The change replaces a GC-cell weak set with a non-GC WeakGCHashTable holding raw JSMockFunction* pointers in src/jsc/bindings/JSMockFunction.cpp/.h, which is the memory-safety surface a human should still weigh, and the description leaves an ordering/mechanism question open for the maintainer. The ruled-out items above are what this run examined beyond the posted finding.

Review comments at @src/jsc/bindings/JSMockFunction.cpp:
- Around line 1238-1241: Update the reset flow around `entries->moveTo(mocks)`
so a mock reconfigured during a reset remains discoverable by a nested
`resetAllMocks()` call. Preserve pending mocks in the relevant list until they
have been visited, and clear `hasEntryIn(list)` only when doing so will not hide
them from a nested reset.

Review comments at @test/js/bun/test/mock-fn.test.js:
- Line 5612: Add an assertion in test "b" that checks both methods in ofA are no
longer Jest mocks before jest.restoreAllMocks() runs. This ensures the test
detects spies left behind by cleanup; preserve the existing ofB setup and
restored-value assertions.
- Around line 5095-5097: Update the nested reset test around `later.mockReset()`
and `vi.resetAllMocks()` to cover reconfiguration without first resetting
`later`: leave it pending in the outer pass, reconfigure it, then assert its
return value immediately after the nested reset. Preserve the existing
reset-before-reconfiguration coverage in both branches.
