bun test: make a mock reach the module that a load in flight asked for - #48179
One bun test run prints real real, real mocked or mocked mocked. The file's first import is a CommonJS helper that mocks a module the file imports. Regression from bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833, unreleased.
mockModule() (src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp) registered the mock for the next import only. The file was already linked, so thread order decided.
Fix
A mock of a module that a load in flight asked for waits, then patches it with the originals saved: an ES module after its body, another once loaded.
Until then require() gets the mock under a key of its own. The loader makes the module of the file only.
A failed load does not count, as on main.
Verified: test/js/bun/test/mock/ (91 new tests in mock-module.test.ts).
Background
The loader fetches a graph's static imports, links it, then runs the bodies. An imported CommonJS file runs when fetched.
Considered CommonJS bodies at link time (costs startup, misses mocks from plugins), and a module made of the mock that require() got (third push: a removed mock reached the next test file).
Downsides
Per ES module body: 3 instructions. Per imported CommonJS module: 2. Release .text: +13,504 bytes. A trimmed hello world is not larger (Notes).
Behaviour change: the mocked module runs once. A name that only the mock has is undefined on the namespace and fails to link as a named import.
Worse than main in two open cases (Notes): a preload that does not await its import(), and a load plugin that returns two CommonJS files in one turn.
Notes
Where the reports came from. Fuzz notes, not user issues. The first gave the rows of the Problem. The second (11-08) found a regression of this PR at its first two pushes (an import fails on a missing file, then its other import is mocked, and the real module ran). The third push fixed that. Notes three to six (11-09) found a case that was worse than main at the third push: a test takes the mocked module out of require.cache, and the next test file's own mock.module() did not apply. The fourth push fixes it.
Repro of the first report.mocks.cjs: const { mock } = require("bun:test"); mock.module("./dep.js", () => ({ v: "mocked" }));. dep.js: export const v = "real";. via.js: import { v } from "./dep.js"; export const got = () => v;. a.test.js: import "./mocks.cjs"; import { test } from "bun:test"; import { v } from "./dep.js"; import { got } from "./via.js"; test("t", () => console.log("VALUE " + v + " " + got()));. Run bun test ./a.test.js many times.
The decisions in full
Patch or replace. This PR keeps the module that the importers are linked to. The module runs once in its turn, then the mock patches it. The alternative gives the importers the mock's own module, so the real body never runs. Jest, Vitest and bun test --aot do that. A module that is mocked because it cannot load (throw at its top level) therefore fails here when a load in flight had asked for it.
If the 3 instructions per ES module body are the objection: the global object's method table can point at a patching table only while a mock waits.

The runs of the second report that are not mocked are main's race: the later import joins the fetch that the failed import left, before that fetch has settled.
How it works
findLoadedESModule() reports two states of a registry entry that has nothing to patch yet: an ES record below Linked (yetToLink) and an entry that is being fetched (beingFetched).
isAskedForByLoadInFlight() makes one pass over the registry for a target in one of those states. A module counts if nothing went wrong with it, and it has a request in flight, or no unlinked module imports it, or a module that counts imports it. The request of a module that has failed does not count.
A waiting mock is registered at once and listed in OnLoad::moduleMocksWaitingForModule. moduleLoaderEvaluate tests whether that list is empty. If not, it patches what the module imports ahead of the body (modules that are no ES modules) and the module itself after the body.
require() of a waiting mock runs the factory and makes a module object of the result. Bun::didRequireModuleMock() moves that module object to <key>?mocked&<n>, one key for each call. So require.cache has nothing under the module's own key, the loader makes the module of the file, and the waiting mock patches it as if nothing had required it. When the mock ends, unmockModule() evicts those keys with the modules that required them.
A mock that ends puts the originals back on the record that it patched. If that record has left the registry meanwhile (a test ran delete require.cache[key]), the test-file modules that are linked to it are evicted (ModulesToEvict::patchedRecords), so the next test file loads them again.
A record that the loader makes while no module object is under the key has no exports. If a mock waits for the key, that record goes once its load has settled (Bun::didMakeRecordOfNoModuleObject()).
A CommonJS module object that a mock took the place of before its body ran goes back to "has not run" when the mock ends (restoreModuleObject()), so the next import runs the file.
jest.resetModules() puts a new mock in the place of one whose factory has run. If that one still waits, the new one takes over the wait.
A preload's mock that still waits when a test file ends, or that a test file replaces or removes while it waits, stops waiting. It is what the next import loads from then on, as on main. What a preload's mock patched and the preload itself took out of the registry (a reset in one of its hooks) stays as the preload left it when a test file's mock ends.
Measurements (release builds of main 98cda0d and this PR, trimmable link as in CI)
moduleLoaderEvaluate, no waiting mock: +3 instructions per ES module body (one load, one test, one branch).
The generator of a CommonJS record, no waiting mock: +2 instructions (one compare with memory, one branch).
Release .text: +13,504 bytes (112,697,932 to 112,711,436). bun build --compile of a hello world: +12,288 bytes. Host functions: +1. sizeof(OnLoad): +16 bytes.
bun build --compile --aot --trim of console.log("hello world"): 25,952,704 bytes on main, 25,948,672 here. The trim drops whole pages, so the layout decides the file size: on the base before the merge the same change gave +8,128 bytes. evictModulesAndTheirImporters() is reached without bun:test (delete require.cache[...] of a module whose load is in flight), so what this PR adds to it stays in a trimmed executable. The three new calls from the loader into bun:test code are removable doors.
delete require.cache[path]; require(path) in a loop of 200,000, 5 interleaved runs: 16.8 to 22.5 microseconds per turn on main, 16.0 to 19.8 here. The delta is below the noise.
Debug build with ASAN: mock-module.test.ts 398 pass, 0 fail. The new block alone also with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1: 91 pass, no unchecked exception.
Release build: mock-module.test.ts 398 pass, 0 fail in three runs. mock-hoist, mock-module-non-string, mock-module-resolve-log: 140 pass.
bun test --aot, release build: the 12 files test/aot/runner-suites/mock-module-*.test.ts pass with the lists of this push. 42 tests of the new block fail under --aot (runner-suites.known.txt), and 46 run other files than a plain run (runner-suites.runs.txt). The 8 test/aot/fixed-runs*.test.ts files pass (199 tests). The 123 files test/aot/*mock*.test.ts: 3,406 pass in one run of all of them, and the 3 files whose tests ran out of their 5 seconds there pass alone.
Debug build with ASAN, other suites: plugins.test.ts 279, node-module-module.test.js 80, require-extensions.test.ts 22 pass. test/cli/run/require-cache.test.ts: one leak test runs out of time on the release builds of main and of this PR alike, and 7 on the debug build.
Open cases. None is fixed here. Each gives main's answer, or one of main's answers. The last four say where this PR answers worse than main.
A root module that is in an import cycle, fully loaded and not linked yet: a mock made in those few promise jobs does not wait. With the files handed to the loader at once, a mock made 3 to 5 promise jobs after the helper runs gives the original, as on main.
jest.resetModules() or vi.resetModules() from the helper, for an ES module target or ahead of the mock: the reset takes the module out of the registry, and the file stays linked to what left. Thread order decides, as on main.
After a failed import, an import that joins the fetch which the failed import left gets the original, as on main. A fix needs the live top-level loads.
A sound module that a failed import left, with a request of its own in flight, still counts as in flight. A mock of what it asked for waits, and the real body runs once.
A test that runs delete require.cache[key] within promise jobs of the file's arrival, while the graph loads: the mock may not reach that file. Later files are right.
With the files handed to the loader at once, two vi.doMock() of one module at load give the first file a module without exports, as on main. A named import of it fails to link. Later files are right.
While a test file's mock.module() is on a module that a preload loaded and mocked, the preload's own modules read the test file's mock (the module is patched in place). They read the preload's mock again in the next file.
In a graph that require() loads, a module of an import cycle that reads a JSON or builtin target through its sibling runs with the original.
A target with top-level await is patched when its evaluation settles. An async factory settles after the importers have run.
A module with a hoisted call imports its modules with import(). A mock of such a module from a sibling is lost, also on main. Handed off as a separate task.
Worse than main: a preload starts an import() and does not wait for it, and the fetch settles in a later test file. require() of the module there, and a module that the preload's graph loads late, get the original. main gives the preload's mock.
Worse than main: a load plugin hands the mocked CommonJS file and a second CommonJS file back in one turn, and the body of the second one requires the mocked module. It gets the original and keeps it. main gives the mock. A later require() gives the mock here too.
Worse than main for code that reads it: while a mock waits, require.cache has <path>?mocked&<n> entries and nothing under the path.
A trade: where the mock patched the module, the default export of a CommonJS module and the names that the factory leaves out are the file's own, a name that only the mock has is undefined on the namespace, and a factory that returns a function replaces nothing. Where the mock took the place of a module that had not run, they are the mock's. main gives one or the other by thread order.
Self-review of the fourth push. Three review passes ran on it, each with fixtures that were run on this build, on the third push and on main.
Pass 1, on a design that evicted a record made of a mock: 28 confirmed findings. That design was dropped for the one above.
Pass 2: 10 confirmed. 7 fixed, 3 are two of the open cases above (the require.cache view, and the require() from a second CommonJS module).
Pass 3: 3 confirmed, all fixed, each with a test. No further pass ran on those three fixes. The repros, the tests and the fixture set below checked them.
All 41 repros give main's answer or a better one on the pushed build, except the open cases.
A generated set of 2,954 preload fixtures (resets, mocks, unmocks and delete require.cache in hooks and tests), run in 4 modes: the fixes of pass 3 change 476 of the 11,816 runs for the better and none for the worse. The merge with main changes none.
Review on the PR
Second push: 16 findings, 12 fixed, 4 answered in their threads.
Third push: 5 findings. The two about require() of a waiting mock and about a CommonJS module that mocks itself are fixed by the new design. The reset finding is fixed for a CommonJS module that the helper required. The cycle finding is an open case. The test counts each file's runs.

A module is linked to what it asked for. A mock that is made while the
module's importer is still loading was registered for the next import
only. So the importer kept the original or got the mock, by the order
in which the transpiler threads handed back the files. The usual way
to get there is a CommonJS helper that is the first import of a test
file: its body runs as soon as the file is fetched.
mockModule() now patches the module that the load has asked for. An ES
module is patched right after its own body, from a gated call in
moduleLoaderEvaluate(). Another module is patched once it has loaded,
and at the latest before the body of the next ES module. A CommonJS
module that has not run yet is replaced at the call, as before.
isAskedForByLoadInFlight() tells a load in flight from what a failed
load left in the registry. The eviction pass takes what a failed load
left unlinked along with the module that failed.
First report: reproduced with the fixture in the PR notes (bun test ./a.test.js). On a release build of main 98cda0d, 16 of 20 shapes (5 mock functions, 4 kinds of module, 40 runs each) print more than one answer. On this branch none does.
Second report (a failed import, then a mock of its other import): reproduced on the second push, where the real module ran in every run. Fixed in ea4d542. The rows follow main's path since then: mocked in 36 of 40 runs here, 31 of 40 on main. The rest is a race that main has too, described in the PR notes.
Third report (a test takes the mocked module out of require.cache, and the next test file mocks it): reproduced on ea4d542, where the next file read the first file's mock or the original. Fixed in c9fa56c: the next file reads its own mock in 40 of 40 runs (main: 33 of 40).
The tests set the order in which the loader is handed the files with an onLoad plugin, so they do not depend on thread timing.
Module mocking now tracks modules that are fetching or not yet linked. Waiting mocks are patched as loading and evaluation progress. Tests and documentation cover loading-time behavior across module types and runtime entry points.

Mocking a module while it is still loading now works in most orders and is documented. A few uncommon cases still read the original module, such as cyclic imports, jest.resetModules() called from a helper, and importers that run while an async factory is pending. The documentation should say so before merge. These are narrow edge cases, not a general failure.

OnLoad::clear() clears the waiting collection without resetting its mocks' waitsForModule flags. clearAll() separately resets those flags, but other clear() callers must do the same or prevent all old callbacks from running; otherwise an old completion can cancel a new waiting mock under the same key.
The old callback can call stopWaitingForModule(key), remove the new mock's waiting registration, and leave its in-flight importer unpatched.
This can occur when: A live registry is cleared directly, a new waiting mock is registered for the same key, and an old load callback subsequently executes.

- Line 803: Update the linking-order statement in the test import guidance to
apply only to ES module body evaluation, and clarify that a CommonJS helper may
run as soon as it is loaded, before sibling imports are linked. Preserve the
surrounding guidance about mock updates and CommonJS replacement behavior.
- Line 376: Qualify the loading-time return-value statement for mock.module():
note that it can return a promise when an already-evaluated CommonJS module is
waiting for its loader record and the factory returns a pending promise; do not
state that it always returns undefined.
Review comments at @src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp:
- Around line 4293-4295: Track `vi.doUnmock()` cancellation for the mock’s
target while the waiting factory runs, even while the mock is temporarily
absent. Before `patchLoadedModule` patches or re-registers the mock, honor any
recorded cancellation so subsequent imports remain unmocked.
- Around line 4293-4295: Update the factory-failure handling around
patchLoadedModule so a waiting mock remains registered when the factory throws,
allowing a later import to retry it after module reset. Restore the failed mock
only if no newer mock has been registered; do not overwrite a newer mock.
- Around line 3353-3356: Update the traversal seeding around the `sound` loop
that builds `inFlight` to track active load roots as well as modules with
requests in flight. Ensure a cycle still has a traversal seed when its requests
have finished but linking has not begun, so mock resolution does not fall back
to the original export.
- Around line 4276-4279: Update the waiting-mock handling around
stopWaitingForModule and mock->waitsForModule so settling require() does not
discard the ES patch associated with the original record before
jest.resetModules(). Preserve that patch across the reset so the in-flight
importer and later imports resolve to the mock, without changing behavior for
registered mocks.
- Around line 4233-4235: Update the unmock cleanup logic around mock->result and
exports to track the loader record’s provenance. Evict records derived from a
mock, including function-valued mock results, instead of retaining them as the
original namespace; retain records only when their provenance establishes they
are genuine originals.
- Around line 4240-4242: Update the waiting-record logic around the
`PropertySlot` check to track whether each record originated from a mock. Do not
treat a skipped accessor-only export as a match without comparing a value; use
the recorded origin to ensure mock exports are handled distinctly while
preserving value comparisons for captured data exports.
Review comments at @src/jsc/bindings/ZigGlobalObject.cpp:
- Around line 5033-5034: Update the pre-evaluation path around
patchModulesThatHaveLoaded so it patches ready CommonJS mocks and propagates
factory errors only for the load that owns each mock; unrelated imports must
continue without triggering that mock’s error before their bodies run. Preserve
the existing error behavior for the owning load.

zero or one time, rather than accepting any number. Preserve the existing
expectations for the other delivery cases.
- Line 7471: Update the `tax.js` setup guard and corresponding fixture setup
scripts to use a distinct setup flag for each fixture, keyed consistently by

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the new moduleLoaderEvaluate hook in ZigGlobalObject.cpp: the empty JSValue returned when the module body throws is only ever read after the caller's exception check, so it does not change the base behavior; and a mock whose target fetch never settles is evicted at the end of the test file rather than holding up the next one.
Extended reasoning...
The change rewires bun:test module mocking in src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp (+482 lines) so a mock registered while a load in flight has asked for the target patches that module instead of only the next import, adds a gated patch call around every ES module body in both moduleLoaderEvaluate hooks, and adds 75 tests. It touches no security-sensitive surface, but it is a large, intricate change to module-loader state with four confirmed findings posted inline, and the author explicitly asks a maintainer for a design decision (patch versus replace), so a human look is needed in any case.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.
…h only what a module imports
A mock that waits for its module no longer compares export values to find out
whether the loader made the record of the mock. The generator of a CommonJS
record tells the mock when the module object is the mock's. A function-valued
factory result and a result of getters are handled like any other.
The call ahead of a module body patches only what that module imports, and
only for the loader of the test file. A module that imports nothing of the
mocked module no longer calls the factory.
The calls from the loader into the patch code are removable calls of the
feature Test. An executable that is trimmed of bun:test keeps the tests of the
empty list and nothing behind them.
The patch ahead of an eviction rejects a promise with what a factory throws,
and the eviction runs in every case.
A preload's mock that a test file removes or replaces while it waits is back
when the file ends, and waits again for its module.
A mock stops waiting by identity, so the reaction of an older mock cannot end
the wait of a newer one. The end of a test file that shares no modules with
the next one stops every wait.
Tests: the assertions on paths in stderr do not depend on the separator, each
fixture has a setup flag of its own, and every fixture asserts that the mocked
module ran at most once. The tests that differ under --aot are named in the
two lists of test/aot.

…mock no longer waits again
- The request of a module whose load has failed no longer makes a mock wait
for what that request fetches. The mock is what the next import loads, as
on main.
- A preload's mock that still waits when a test file ends, or that a test
file replaces or removes while it waits, is what the next import loads
from then on. No factory is called when a test file ends. What the
preload loaded under the key of such a mock is not given back.
- The mock that waits for a module is the registered one.
- The loader says whether it had to run the module object that it makes a
CommonJS record of: such a record is the file's own.
- jest.resetModules() and vi.resetModules() let a waiting mock patch a
loaded module first if a module that has yet to run is linked to it.
- What a factory throws ahead of an eviction is rejected in a job of its
own, so expect().toThrow() around the load does not drop it.
- Comments of more than one line are now one line.

I re-reviewed after ea4d542 and found no new bugs; the commit addresses the three points from my last round (the waiting mock is now the registered one, the file-end re-wait loop is gone, and keepPreloadModule skips a record that a preload's waiting mock stands in for). Because this reshapes how mockModule, eviction and the loader's evaluate hook interact, and the patch-versus-replace decision is still open, a human look is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed:

Extended reasoning...
The change adds about 530 lines to src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp plus small hooks in ZigGlobalObject.cpp and JSCommonJSModule.cpp so that a mock.module()/vi.mock()/jest.mock() call made while the loader is mid-flight patches the module that the in-flight load is linked to, with 78 new tests and 40 new known --aot failures. It touches no auth, crypto or input-parsing surface; the risk is GC rooting, exception propagation and registry state in loader internals. The latest commit plausibly addresses all prior inline findings and this run found nothing new, but the size, the per-ES-module hook on the evaluate path, the author-flagged patch-versus-replace design question and the new --aot divergences make this a change a maintainer should weigh rather than one to approve automatically.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
The waiting path explicitly excludes compiled modules and relies on separate AOT machinery to preserve the new loading-time behavior. The supplied AOT expectation lists record failures for these scenarios, suggesting that the compiled counterpart does not complete the patch-before-importer contract.
Compiled importers can observe different exports from plain bun test, despite the loading-time guarantee now documented without an AOT qualification.
This can occur when: bun test --aot loads a CommonJS helper that mocks a compiled module already requested by a sibling importer, including the newly listed preload-replacement scenarios.

- Around line 4569-4572: Update the `jest.resetModules()` mock-replacement flow
to preserve the waiting patch on any in-flight importer record when replacing a
mock. Ensure the importer continues to observe the mock after reset, while later
imports retain the existing mock behavior; use the relevant waiting-patch logic
around `patchModulesOfWaitingMocks` rather than dropping or recreating the wait.
- Around line 3026-3028: Update the unmock path around originalCommonJSExports
and loaded.commonJSModule to evict or invalidate the ES-registry record derived
from the mock, so later imports cannot receive mock exports after unmocking;
preserve the real exports supplied by the onLoad plugin for fresh require()
calls.
- Around line 3351-3355: Update the mock-link traversal around isYetToLink so it
tracks active load roots independently of importer graph edges, including roots
whose cycles have finished loading but have not linked yet. Seed the traversal
from those active roots when no request remains in resolvedRequests, and
preserve the existing in-flight request checks for other records.
- Around line 5763-5767: Update the !hadRun handling so it preserves
mock->originalCommonJSExports captured while the CommonJS module is evaluating.
Ensure waiting completion does not replace those saved original exports with the
mock, so an un-mocked require before deferred eviction returns the original
exports.

relying on a cumulative bound or numeric matcher. Assert the expected count for
each file so a zero-run first file and twice-run second file cannot pass.

If a mock is registered after a root cycle finishes loading but before it links, every record has an importer and no request remains to seed the traversal. The mock does not wait, so the in-flight graph can read original exports. Track active load roots independently of graph edges.

Confirmed as a gap. Not changed in this push, so this thread stays open.
Measured on release builds of main 98cda0d and of d7cea77, with a test file that one of its imports imports back, and a mock made N promise jobs after the helper runs (N = 0 to 12, 5 runs each):
Files handed to the loader at once (BUN_FEATURE_FLAG_DISABLE_ASYNC_TRANSPILER=1): N = 3 to 5 give the original, as on main. N = 0 to 2 give the mock (main: the original).
Transpiler threads: the mock in 61 of 65 runs, the original in 4 (N = 4, 5 and 7). main gives the original in 61 of 65.
A root that is not in a cycle gives the mock in every run.
A draft walked the cycle. It was removed: the modules that a failed import leaves have the same shape in the registry (loaded, not linked, each imported by another), so the registry alone cannot tell them from a root that is about to link. The fix needs the list of live top-level loads, which this PR does not add. The case is in the open cases of the PR body.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
@robobun Thanks for the measurements and explanation. The cycle case remains open, and the registry shape alone does not distinguish it from a failed load.
Would you like a follow-up GitHub issue for this case?

Learning: Within repository "oven-sh/bun", only for files matching one of ["src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp"]: When reviewing changes to in-flight module detection for mocks in src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp, check both a fully loaded root cycle before linking and an unlinked cycle left by a failed import. Do not classify the failed cycle as in flight based only on its registry graph shape; verify an independent indication of a live load.

Learning: In Bun's vendored JavaScriptCore module loader, `ModuleLoadStoreError` is chained only for the top-level module request. `Zig::GlobalObject::pendingModuleLoads` retains that top-level key until the import promise settles. Dependency fetch and instantiation failures update their original `JSC::ModuleRegistryEntry` through an entry pointer, while resolution failures are stored synchronously with `addResolutionFailure`; therefore, a later retry cannot be poisoned by delayed failure recording for a dependency key. The `S1/S2` and `N1/N2` cases in `test/js/bun/resolve/import-retry-after-failure.test.ts` cover retry after a failing static dependency is fixed.

Preserve the waiting patch across jest.resetModules().
If a CommonJS helper requires a waiting ES mock before calling jest.resetModules(), reset replaces the mock without preserving its wait. The in-flight importer can read the real export, while a later import gets the mock. Preserve the patch for the in-flight record when replacing the mock.

Confirmed. Fixed in part in c9fa56c, so this thread stays open for the rest.
Fixed: a helper that mocks a CommonJS module, requires it and then calls jest.resetModules() while the file is fetched. The mock that the reset puts in the place of the settled one now takes over the wait, and patches the module of the file. New fixture: and reset.
Not changed: an ES module target, and a reset that comes ahead of the mock. There the reset takes the module out of the registry, and the mock stands for what the key loads next. The file stays linked to the record that left. Measured, 4 runs per row: real mock mock or real real real by thread order, on main and on this PR.
The record that left the registry would need a patch of its own, which nothing undoes when the mock ends. That is a design change for a follow-up. It is in the open cases of the PR body.
A third decision: the same mock, made by an ES module helper
This PR covers a CommonJS helper. With an ES module helper the whole graph is linked when the helper runs. Bun then runs the mocked module inside the mock call, ahead of the imports that come before it. It is a regression from 1.4.4. Only canary builds have it.

Cause.mock.module() of a module that is linked and has yet to run runs its body inside the call (linked->evaluate(globalObject), BunPlugin.cpp:3701 on main). #44833 chose this so that the body does not assign over the patch. --aot does the same in runBodyOfLinkedModuleAheadOfMock, and test/aot/fixed-runs/closed/package-mocks-two-linked-packages.txt states it. A test file that imports from "vitest" runs its imports one at a time (runs_imports_in_turn()). It does not come here.
The question (@Jarred-Sumner). For a module that is linked and has yet to run, when does the real body run?
At the mock call, as today. Both files above stay as they are.
In its own turn among the imports. The mock patches it right after its body.
Never. The importers get the mock's own module, as "replace" in the first decision, or as a "vitest" file gets today.
Answer 2 exists as a prototype on robobun/5ee2df6c/mock-waits-for-module-turn. The mechanism is the first commit, BunPlugin.cpp +172/-97. Both files above give the 1.4.4 answer there. I will not open a pull request for it before the answer, and it is not ready to merge:
bun test --aot still runs the body at the call. test/aot/fixed-runs-closed.test.ts fails 2 of 97 there (linked-module-behind-a-failed-graph, package-mocks-two-linked-packages), because the plain run changes and the compiled run does not.
It answers worse than main in three shapes that I confirmed. A barrel in an import cycle keeps its real const exports. A module with top-level await gives its importers the real function while they load. A factory that calls require() for the original runs the body twice if the helper also requires the module.
A factory that reads a const declared after the call works in the first test file only, unless --isolate is set. Main throws in every file.
A mock that waits for its module answers require() with a module object
under a key of its own (<key>?mocked&<n>). The loader makes the module of
the file, and the mock patches it with the originals saved. No record is
made of the mock any more, so a removed mock leaves nothing behind for
the next test file.
- unmockModule() evicts what each require() made of the mock, and the
record that the mock had patched when that record has left the
registry (delete require.cache[key] in a test).
- A record made while no module object is under the key goes once its
load has settled, if a mock waits for the key.
- A module object that a mock took the place of before its body ran
runs when the mock ends.
- jest.resetModules() hands the wait to the mock that it puts in the
place of a settled one.
- What a preload's mock patched and the preload took out of the registry
stays as the preload left it when a test file's mock ends.
The branch is merged with main at 98cda0d (#48120), and one part has a new design.
Changed: require() of a mock that waits for its module. At ea4d542 the loader made the module of what require() got from the mock. Now that module object has a key of its own, and the loader makes the module of the file. The mock patches it and saves the originals. This removes the states behind two of the five review findings on ea4d542 (the record made of a removed mock, and the CommonJS module that mocks itself). The reset finding is fixed for a CommonJS module that the helper required. The new design also fixes a case from fuzzing that was worse than main: a test takes the mocked module out of require.cache, and the next test file's own mock.module() did not apply.
Open, with main's answers: a root module in an import cycle, and jest.resetModules() ahead of the mock or for an ES module target. Both are in the open cases of the description.

🟡 nit (optional): this assertion accepts three different outcomes, so a regression that gives the importing file the wrong module cannot fail it. At test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts:8076 the "out of require.cache" rows assert expect(["mock", "real", undefined]).toContain(tax.rate), which passes for the mock, the original and a missing export alike. Fix: assert the exact value each jobs row produces (or toEqual on a per-row expected table like the sibling rows at 8054 do), so the behaviour of removing a waited-for module from require.cache is pinned rather than only required not to crash.
Why this was flagged
The "and required by the module that mocks it, which removes the mock any number of promise jobs after the file is fetched" test builds 7 fixture directories (test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts:8062-8083) whose mocks.cjs deletes require.cache for tax.cjs some jobs after the fetch. The only assertion in each asked.test.js is at line 8076 and accepts "mock", "real" or undefined. If a future change makes the deferred-patch path hand the importing file undefined where it previously got "mock" (or the reverse), the assertion still passes, so the test cannot detect a regression in the very path the PR adds (patchModuleOfWaitingMock / didRequireModuleMock). The sibling rows at 8054 assert an exact tuple with toEqual, so the exact outcome per row is knowable and should be asserted the same way. REVIEW.md asks that every assertion be able to fail and assert the strongest invariant; this one is a conditional, three-way accept.
Verification: nit; acknowledged in diff: the comment at test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts:8004-8005 deliberately leaves the importing file's own value unspecified, but it does not make the assertion any stronger. Line 8076, the only assertion in each of the 7 "out of require.cache" fixtures, reads expect(["mock", "real", undefined]).toContain(tax.rate), so a change handing the importing file undefined or the original where it got "mock" cannot fail them.

When the factory returns a promise that is still pending, Bun updates the already-imported module once the promise settles. In that case `mock.module()` returns a promise that resolves after the update, and otherwise it returns `undefined`. `await mock.module(...)` inside a test or hook covers both. At the top level of a test file, Bun waits for pending module mocks before it runs the file's tests.
A module can also be mocked while Bun is still loading it for a module that imports it. A CommonJS file that a test file imports with a static `import` does that: it runs as soon as it is loaded, before the file's other imports are linked. The modules that import the mocked module still get the mock. An ES module runs once first, and then Bun calls the factory and updates it. Its importers are linked to the original before that, so a static `import` of a name that only the mock exports fails to link, and that name is `undefined` on the module's namespace object and on what `import()` returns. A CommonJS module that has not run yet is replaced, and never runs. Whether the original runs is therefore not specified: use a hoisted `vi.mock()` or `jest.mock()`, or a `--preload` script, when it must not run. If Bun calls the factory after `mock.module()` returns, `mock.module()` returns `undefined`, even for a factory that returns a promise. A module with a top-level `await` is updated when it has finished, so its importers read the original while they load.

Not ready to merge: CI is red for a real reason, and two regressions are confirmed
I moved the PR to draft. I will decide the shape of the change again before the next push.
CI (build 139702).test/aot/test-runs-in-folders-{2,4,5,8,16}.test.ts fail in 15 projects. #48120 added these files. Each project under test/aot/parallel-test-runs/ runs with bun test and with bun test --aot, and the two must print the same. This PR changes what plain bun test prints there, and --aot still prints main's answer:
a-mock-is-laid-while-an-import-is-under-way/* (4 projects): a test calls vi.doMock() while an import() is under way. On main the import under way keeps the file. With this PR it gets the mock.
a-mock-on-what-a-failed-load-left/* (3): a later importer of what a failed import left reads the mock, not the file.
a-test-files-mock-over-a-preloads-mock/* and whatever-evicts-under-plain-sweeps-the-failures-that-the-program-keeps/a-patch-over-a-preloads-mock-* (6): the PR brings a preload's mock back where main does not, and evicts where main does not.
who-imports-behind-a-require-that-gave-up/* and a-factory-that-fails-behind-a-require-that-gave-up-fails-no-test/* (2): the order of two lines changes, and one test that passes on main fails.
The todo.txt mark of that harness holds one word substitution. None of these fits it. I did not run these files before the push. I ran test/aot/*mock*.test.ts, the fixed-runs files and the 12 runner-suites/mock-module-* files only.
Two regressions against main at d7cea77, both reproduced on a debug build.
A factory that throws, for a CommonJS module that a load in flight asked for. The mock that waits calls the factory from a promise reaction, so nothing can catch the error: Unhandled error between tests, exit 1, in 2 of 6 runs here (main: exit 0).
A helper that mocks a CommonJS module and then requires it, where the real module throws at its top level. Since c9fa56c the loader runs the file: the test file fails in 6 of 6 runs (main and ea4d542: the mock). docs/test/mocks.mdx in this PR says such a module "is replaced, and never runs". That sentence is wrong for this case.
docs/test/mocks.mdx:376 (two notes): both are correct. An importer that runs while an async factory is pending reads the original, and a factory that returns a function does not replace the default export of a CommonJS module that has run. The paragraph changes with the next push.
mock-module.test.ts:8076 (the assertion that accepts three values): correct. The first and the last row of that sweep have one answer each, and the next push pins them.
The two open threads (the root in an import cycle, and a reset ahead of the mock): no issue yet. What they need depends on the shape that comes out of the points above.
Data for the third decision: the same call also drops a mock whose factory reads a const of the helper
The question above is about the real body of a linked module. The same call has a second effect on main. It calls the factory at the hoisted call, above the variables of the helper. The layout is one mocks file for several test files, as in many Jest suites.
// src/dep.tsexportfunctionnextId(){return"real";}// src/svc.tsimport{nextId}from"./dep";exportfunctionmake(){returnnextId();}// test/helpers/mocks.tsimport{jest}from"bun:test";exportconstmockNext=jest.fn();jest.mock("../../src/dep",()=>({nextId: mockNext}));// test/svc.test.tsimport{test,expect}from"bun:test";import{mockNext}from"./helpers/mocks";import{make}from"../src/svc";test("uses the fake",()=>{mockNext.mockReturnValue("fake");expect(make()).toBe("fake");});
Runner
Result of the test
1.4.3-canary 367d939 (before #44833), Jest 30.5.2, Vitest 5.0.3
ReferenceError: Cannot access 'mockNext' before initialization. with the hoisting note
Cause.#44833 hoists the call above const mockNext. The graph of the test file is linked before the helper runs, so mockModule() calls the factory at the call, to update dep.ts in place. The factory throws. mockModule() clears the error (BunPlugin.cpp:5676 on main) and waits for an import of dep.ts. No import follows, because svc.ts is linked to the real module. This is the outcome that #44833 (comment) names: "a module that silently isn't mocked".
The answers above. Answer 1 leaves these files as they are. For answer 2, the comment above says that a factory that reads a later const works in the first test file only, unless --isolate is set. I did not build that prototype.
A second prototype, in the hoisters.robobun/3aae9147/mock-in-helper-stays-in-place changes no line under src/jsc/bindings. In a module that is not a test file or a preload script, a mock() call stays below a variable or an import of the module that its factory reads when it runs. bun test --aot gets the same rule. It is a branch and not a pull request, because it needs the ruling below.
What it gives, measured on builds of main 2596ac5 and of the branch:
The files above pass, in plain and in --aot runs.
Of 66 layouts of a mocks file, 46 give the answer of Jest or of Vitest. Main gives it in 25, and 367d939 in 43.
For a factory that reads nothing of the helper, 0 of 60 answers change.
What it costs. One such factory puts every mock call of the helper back where it is written, and makes the imports of the helper static. These layouts are right on main and wrong on the branch:
The fixture of "a Vitest test file with no mock call of its own still runs its imports one at a time" in mock-module.test.ts, with one more line in suite.test.ts: const other = vi.fn(); vi.mock("./other", () => ({ other }));. Main: 3 pass. Branch: 3 fail, because ./panel now loads the real ./flags before the mock.
A mocks file with vi.mock("pkg", ...) beside vi.mock("./dep", () => ({ nextId: fake })), and with an import of a module that imports pkg. Under a test file of "vitest", main gives the mocked package. The branch gives the real one, and the run passes.
vi.mock("./dep", async importOriginal => ({ ...(await importOriginal()), nextId: fake })) in a mocks file with one more import. Main prints the ReferenceError with the note. The branch runs the importer on the real module while it loads, and the run passes.
A call that is written above the const that it reads, or that reads it through a function declaration, still ends in the silent catch (4 of the 66).
The ruling that this needs (@Jarred-Sumner). Where does a mock call of an imported module get the variables of its factory?
In the hoisters, as on the branch. Then: does one such call keep the whole module in its written order, or only the call and what it reads?
In the hoisters, with no hoist plan outside a test file or a preload script. Every imported module then runs in its written order, as in 1.4.x. The 4 pinned cases of the fixture above fail when its module has no hoist plan. My first build showed that.
In mockModule(), with the deferral of answer 2 above.
Under each answer, a mock whose factory failed at the hoisted call, and that no import asked for afterwards, can be reported when its test file ends. Today nothing says that it was never applied.

bun testrun printsreal real,real mockedormocked mocked. The file's first import is a CommonJS helper that mocks a module the file imports.

Where the reports came from. Fuzz notes, not user issues. The first gave the rows of the Problem. The second (11-08) found a regression of this PR at its first two pushes (an import fails on a missing file, then its other import is mocked, and the real module ran). The third push fixed that. Notes three to six (11-09) found a case that was worse than main at the third push: a test takes the mocked module out of
require.cache, and the next test file's ownmock.module()did not apply. The fourth push fixes it.Repro of the first report.

mockedare main's race: the later import joins the fetch that the failed import left, before that fetch has settled.How it works
findLoadedESModule()reports two states of a registry entry that has nothing to patch yet: an ES record below Linked (yetToLink) and an entry that is being fetched (beingFetched).isAskedForByLoadInFlight()makes one pass over the registry for a target in one of those states. A module counts if nothing went wrong with it, and it has a request in flight, or no unlinked module imports it, or a module that counts imports it. The request of a module that has failed does not count.OnLoad::moduleMocksWaitingForModule.moduleLoaderEvaluatetests whether that list is empty. If not, it patches what the module imports ahead of the body (modules that are no ES modules) and the module itself after the body.require()of a waiting mock runs the factory and makes a module object of the result.Bun::didRequireModuleMock()moves that module object to<key>?mocked&<n>, one key for each call. Sorequire.cachehas nothing under the module's own key, the loader makes the module of the file, and the waiting mock patches it as if nothing had required it. When the mock ends,unmockModule()evicts those keys with the modules that required them.delete require.cache[key]), the test-file modules that are linked to it are evicted (ModulesToEvict::patchedRecords), so the next test file loads them again.Bun::didMakeRecordOfNoModuleObject()).restoreModuleObject()), so the next import runs the file.jest.resetModules()puts a new mock in the place of one whose factory has run. If that one still waits, the new one takes over the wait.Measurements (release builds of main 98cda0d and this PR, trimmable link as in CI)
