bun test: Infinity means no timeout in test(), hooks, setDefaultTimeout() and jest.setTimeout() - #48225
On main, bun test never returns when a test with timeout Infinity can never settle. With 0 it prints error: A test or hook with no timeout never settled and exits 1.
parse_arguments casts with timeout as u32 (src/runtime/test_runner/ScopeFunctions.rs:1022): Infinity is a deadline 49.7 days away, so the file's timer stays armed.
Fix
bun_test::timeout_ms is the one rule for test(), hooks, setDefaultTimeout(), jest.setTimeout() and vi.setConfig(): only a positive number below 4294967295 is a timeout.
No timeout is stored as the deadline Timespec::EPOCH. Three readers ranked it earliest, and a far deadline kept Infinity away from them.
Considered skipping far deadlines in update_min_timeout: a guess from distance that keeps both casts.
Downsides
A test with Infinity that only an outside signal can settle fails at once, as with 0. An open timer avoids it.
With 0, a timed concurrent test can overrun inside spawnSync beside a running test with no timeout, as beside Infinity on main.
One has_work_left() call per wake of the wait loop for a test with Infinity, as for 0. .text -512 bytes.
Notes
Questions for a maintainer
The Bun.spawnSync deadline. After an await in a concurrent group, the runner takes the latest deadline of the running tests, because it does not know which of them called spawnSync. On main a running test with Infinity is the latest, and a running test with 0 is the earliest. One stored value cannot keep both. This PR gives 0 the row of Infinity (the commit of bun test: rank "no timeout" as the latest deadline for spawnSync in a concurrent group #46213, which asks to land with or after bun test: time out a test or hook whose callback completes after its deadline #39440). The cost is the second Downside: when the child never exits, the run waits. The other row ends the spawnSync child of a test with no timeout at the deadline of another test. Is this the row you want?
The runner's own "never settled" error. On main a process.on("unhandledRejection") listener in a Vitest test file takes it, and the run exits 0 with Ran 0 tests. This PR reports it without that dispatch. The open bun test: do not charge a test or hook for a promise rejected before it started #47731 has four cases that expect the listener to take it. Which is right?

Without the second, the spawnSync child of a test with Infinity gets SIGTERM at the deadline of another test. If #44613 or #46213 merges first, its commit drops out of this branch.

set_default_timeout (src/runtime/test_runner/jest.rs:616) cast through i32, so setDefaultTimeout(Infinity) and jest.setTimeout(Infinity) were a deadline 24.8 days away.
10 of 27 cells change. A timeout between 0 and 1 ms is 1 ms (it was none). A finite timeout of 4294967295 ms or more is none (it was 49.7 days), and the docs now say so. setDefaultTimeout() no longer clamps to 2147483647. task.timeout reads 0 for Infinity (Vitest gives Infinity).
Outcomes that move
For Infinity:
A test or hook that can never settle fails (it waited). This is the fix.
A wait that has_work_left() cannot see fails at once: a signal from another process, a FinalizationRegistry callback, a threadsafe bun:ffi callback. 0 does this on main. docs/test/runtime-behavior.mdx now names the signal and the two ways to keep waiting.
Child processes, spawnSync children and un-awaited matchers of the test itself: nothing changes.
For 0:
A stale timer no longer kills the child processes of the test (143 SIGTERM to 0 null). It also no longer kills what an earlier test left behind.
An un-awaited matcher that the test calls after an await is no longer ended at the deadline of another test of its group.
In a Vitest file with an unhandledRejection listener, the stuck test fails. On main the run exits 0 with nothing reported.
node:test does not change. { timeout: Infinity } gives bun:test the longest timeout (2147483647 ms), because Node v26.3.0 keeps the process alive for a pending test (exitHandler in lib/internal/test_runner/harness.js).
The matcher wait of a concurrent group
A matcher that a concurrent test calls after an await, and that nothing awaits, is held by the group: the runner does not know the caller. On main the group waits until the latest deadline of its tests, and a test with no timeout does not count. Now the group has no deadline when a test with no timeout was running at the time such a matcher was called, because that test may be the caller. In every other case the rule of main holds, so a matcher that a timed test leaves behind still ends at the deadline, also with an open handle.
When nothing on the event loop can settle the matchers of a group with no deadline, the check reports each where it was called (An un-awaited matcher in a concurrent test never settled) and the file goes on. On main the check printed one error with no location and left the file.
One case is left: a test with no timeout is still running when a timed test leaves a matcher that never settles, and a handle stays open. The group then waits, as with Infinity on main.

No allocation, queue entry, syscall or host function is added. The scan of the running tests in RunningEntry::hold runs only for a matcher that a concurrent group holds.
Tests
The runner was the release build of main, then the build of this branch.
bun-test.test.ts, a test file that can never finish running: 13 new cases. Main fails 11. The other two pin what must not change: a test with Infinity outlasts the default timeout, and node:test waits for a test with Infinity until a signal settles it.
expect-deferred.test.ts: 8 new cases. Main fails 4.
A run that never ends is killed after 4 s (60 s on ASAN in CI, the rule of vitest-flavor.test.ts), so a case fails on signalCode and leaves no process.
On the debug build: test-test.test.ts 28 pass, spawnSync.test.ts 26 pass, hot.test.ts 26 pass, node-test.test.ts 45 pass, vi-utils.test.ts 191 pass. bun-test.test.ts 240 to 243 pass of 243, expect-deferred.test.ts 61 to 64 of 64, and vitest-flavor.test.ts 189 to 191 of 191. The failures are the 5 s limit, or the 10 ms timeouts, of cases that this change does not touch, in files that run 20 debug processes at once. Each passes alone. Not run: Windows and macOS.
Left out on purpose
--timeout keeps its integer parse. --timeout 4294967295 stays a deadline 49.7 days away.
expect.poll(), vi.waitFor() and vi.waitUntil() keep the rule of setTimeout.
A stuck entry with no timeout is reported only after the timer of an earlier entry has fired. The file timer is never unset.
Addressed: the matcher wait (first a guess from started_at, then a flag per group), the located matcher error at the check, the report without the listener dispatch (the flag of the Vitest entry is no longer cleared), the kill rule for ASAN in CI, the note on node:test, the docs, and this description. In part: the docs name what does not count. Not taken: a remedy in the note: line of the error (main's text), and a case that pins the failure of a signal-only wait (it would pin a limit of main's check).
After the first review
The matcher wait has no deadline only when a test with no timeout may be the caller (see above). Before, one such test anywhere in the group was enough, and a matcher of a timed test could keep the run waiting.
node:test keeps the behavior of main.
The docs name the limit of 4294967295 ms.
Not changed: the spawnSync row (question 1), and the 4 s kill of the new cases on builds that are not ASAN in CI. The PR lanes have no debug build, and a run takes about 30 ms on a release build.
no test proof · iteration 0 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/bun/test/test-test.test.ts, test/js/bun/spawn/spawnSync.test.ts, test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts
A completed test can leave the file timer armed. If it fires while a later test has no timeout, the kill of dangling processes compares that test's EPOCH timestamp with the clock and ends its live child. Exclude the no-deadline value before the check, as ExecutionEntry::evaluate_timeout does.
Taken from #44613.
… concurrent group
After an `await`, `TestRunner::get_active_timeout()` takes the latest deadline of the running tests. It compared with `Timespec::order`, which ranks `EPOCH` ("no timeout") below every deadline, so the timeout of a sibling ended the `Bun.spawnSync` child of a test with no timeout. Compare with `Timespec::order_ignore_epoch`, and skip a sequence that has not started: its `EPOCH` means "not set".
Taken from #46213.
…eout() and jest.setTimeout()
`test(name, fn, Infinity)` stored a deadline 49.7 days away, and
`setDefaultTimeout(Infinity)` one 24.8 days away. The timer of the file
stayed armed for that deadline. So the check that fails a test or hook
with no timeout, once nothing on the event loop can settle it, never ran
for that entry or for a later entry of the file. The check is on main
only. Bun 1.4.4 waits for both `0` and `Infinity`.
The three places that turn a JS number into a timeout now share the rule
that `vi.setConfig()` had: a positive number below 4294967295 is a
timeout of at least 1 ms, and anything else is no timeout.
A test with `Infinity` now takes the paths of a test with `0`:
- The wait for the un-awaited matchers of a concurrent group ended at
the deadline of another test. A group in which a test ran with no
timeout now has no deadline.
- When nothing on the event loop can settle those matchers, the check
reports each where it was called and the file goes on. It printed one
error with no location and dropped the rest of the file.
- In a Vitest test file with an `unhandledRejection` listener, the
listener took the "never settled" error and the run exited with 0.
The runner now reports its own error without that dispatch.
The test runner now normalizes timeout values and updates deadline handling for tests and deferred matchers. Documentation and regression tests describe and verify timeout behavior across Bun, Vitest, and Node.js test APIs.
Timeout conversion maps positive finite values below u32::MAX to milliseconds and maps other values to 0. API documentation describes 0 and Infinity as disabling timeouts.
Execution deadline selection and process-timeout checks account for tests without deadlines. Regression tests cover timeout behavior for tests, hooks, and synchronous child processes.
Concurrent groups track pending matchers without deadlines. When no remaining work can settle a matcher, the runner reports it and continues execution. Tests cover matcher failures and rejection handling.

The raw summary shows the timeout conversion through bun_test::timeout_ms and the Infinity handling, and the objectives confirm the same aim. The title is long (97 characters), but it is specific and matches the primary change.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is detailed and follows the template's two required sections in substance. "### What does this PR do?" is covered by the Problem, Fix, Background, and Downsides sections. "### How did you verify your code works?" is covered by the Tests and Measurements sections, which name the suites, the case counts, the main-branch failures, the debug-build results, and the platforms not run (Windows and macOS). The author also lists the open questions for a maintainer and the outcomes that change. The main gap is the template's heading format: the description uses its own headings (Problem, Fix, Background, Downsides, Notes, Tests) and does not use the template's exact "What does this PR do?" and "How did you verify your code works?" headings. The content still maps onto both required items, so the description is mostly complete.

bun test ./a.test.ts never returns. With 0 in place of Infinity, it prints error: A test or hook with no timeout never settled and exits with 1. With this branch, both spellings print the error and exit with 1.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the new auto_killer guard at src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs:460 (it skips the kill only for a running entry with no deadline, so a timeout-0 test's children are treated as live work, as they already were for Infinity on main) and the sub-1 ms rounding in timeout_ms (the same rule vi_utils::number_option already applied to vi.setConfig).
The added test cases and the delete-each-clause check were not run; this review is from reading the diff.
Extended reasoning...
The change unifies timeout conversion across test(), hooks, setDefaultTimeout/jest.setTimeout and vi.setConfig via a new bun_test::timeout_ms helper, and reworks how concurrent groups, the spawnSync deadline, the stale-timer kill path and the never-settled error treat a no-timeout entry; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Five confirmed inline findings (behavioral regressions in concurrent-group waiting, the spawnSync deadline, node:test Infinity, huge finite timeouts, and a debug-build test cap) already call for a human decision, so this note only records what else was examined.
Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

🔴 A timed concurrent test that blocks in spawnSync after an await now waits forever when a sibling with timeout 0 is still running; on the base its own deadline ended the child. jest.rs:183 ranks a running EPOCH entry as the latest deadline via order_ignore_epoch, so get_active_timeout returns EPOCH and the spawnSync wait loop has no deadline at all. Because spawnSync blocks the JS thread, nothing else (not the file timer, not the never-settled check) can end the run. Fix: when a running entry has no timeout, fall back to the latest finite deadline among the other running entries, or to the file timer, rather than returning EPOCH. The PR names this as a downside; the sized consequence is an unrecoverable hang of the whole run on a child that never exits. [also at: src/runtime/test_runner/jest.rs:183 - Users can get a bun test run that hangs where the base ended it: a timed concurrent test's spawnSync child is no longer killed at that test's deadline.]
Why this was flagged
A concurrent group has test.concurrent("stuck child", async () => { await immediate(); Bun.spawnSync(["sleep", "inf"]); }, 300) and test.concurrent("no timeout", () => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 10_000)), 0). After the await, on_stack is None, so get_active_timeout at src/runtime/test_runner/jest.rs:171-191 scans the running sequences. The 0-timeout entry has timespec EPOCH (Execution.rs:793) and seq.executing is true, so the new comparison at jest.rs:183 makes latest = EPOCH and the function returns EPOCH. The spawnSync wait loop treats EPOCH as no deadline and blocks the JS thread until the child exits; the child never does. On the base branch, ts.order(&l) ranked EPOCH earliest, so the 300 ms deadline of "stuck child" ended the wait and signalled the child. The never-settled check at src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:4114 cannot run because the thread is inside spawnSync, and the file timer firing only reaches kill_dangling_processes_on_timeout, which now skips EPOCH entries (Execution.rs:460).
Verification: src/bun_core/util.rs:4871-4881: order_ignore_epoch(a, b) returns Greater when a == EPOCH, so once a running entry with timespec == EPOCH is seen, latest becomes EPOCH and no finite sibling deadline can displace it; the function returns EPOCH (jest.rs:187-188). Before the diff the same loop used ts.order(&l) == Ordering::Greater, so latest was the timed sibling's deadline and the child was killed at it.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
No change here. This is question 1 in the PR notes, and it needs a maintainer.
After an await, the runner does not know which running test called spawnSync. It must pick one of two errors:
Rank a running test with no timeout as the latest deadline. This PR does that, and main does it for Infinity. A timed test can then overrun, and the run waits when the child never exits. That is the case you describe.
0 and Infinity are now one stored value, so both must take the same row. On main the first row already applies beside a test with Infinity: a 1000 ms test whose spawnSync child runs 3 s passes at 3 s there. The fallback would take that away from tests with Infinity.
…with no timeout may be the caller
The wait for the un-awaited matchers of a concurrent group had no
deadline once any test of the group had run with no timeout. With an
open handle, a matcher that a timed test left behind then kept the run
waiting without end.
The group now has no deadline only when a test with no timeout was
running at the time one of those matchers was called. The check is in
`RunningEntry::hold`, so a test callback no longer pays for it.
node:test: `{ timeout: Infinity }` gives bun:test the longest timeout
and not "no timeout". Node waits without end for such a test, and
bun:test fails a test with no timeout that nothing can settle.
The first review had five findings. The branch at a53dd37 handles them as follows:
Matcher wait of a concurrent group (Execution.rs): changed. The group has no deadline only when a test with no timeout was running at the time the matcher was called. In every other case the rule of main holds.
node:test with { timeout: Infinity }: changed. node:test keeps the behavior of main and of Node.
A finite timeout of 4294967295 ms or more: no code change. The docs now name the limit, and a case pins it.
The 4 s kill of the new cases: no change. It is the rule that test/js/bun/test/vitest-flavor.test.ts uses, and the PR lanes have no debug build.
Bun.spawnSync beside a running test with no timeout (jest.rs:185): no change. This one needs a maintainer. It is question 1 in the notes of the description, and its thread stays open.

Honor unlimited hook deadlines for group-held matchers.
When an unlimited concurrent hook creates an un-awaited matcher after an await, the runner can abandon it at a test deadline before it settles. Include active unlimited hooks when deciding whether group-held matchers have a deadline.

If an unlimited-classified matcher settles while a later finite-timeout matcher remains pending, the group keeps the no-deadline flag. An open interval can then make the test run hang indefinitely. Track outstanding unlimited-classified matchers and wake the runner when the last one settles.

Update the pending-matcher settlement logic around group_index and
pending_matchers_have_no_deadline to track outstanding unlimited-classified
matchers separately from all pending matchers. Clear the group’s no-deadline
status and wake the runner when the last unlimited-classified matcher settles,
even if finite-timeout matchers remain pending.

Beyond the inline findings, I checked the new pending_matchers_have_no_deadline flag added in a53dd37: it is set only in RunningEntry::hold after pending_matchers has confirmed the group is the active one (so the groups[group_index] access is in range), cleared in release when the count reaches zero, and read only in step_group; sequence-held matchers leave it untouched, which matches their own per-sequence deadline. The old ran_test_with_no_timeout has no remaining references. I did not run the test suite, so the "fails with USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1" and "each clause of the fix breaks a test" checks are unverified here.
Extended reasoning...
The change spans the bun:test runner's timeout handling (Execution.rs, expect_deferred.rs, jest.rs, test_command.rs, vi_utils.rs, bun_test.rs), the node:test shim, docs and types, with ~850 added lines mostly tests; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The latest commit a53dd37 reworks the concurrent-group matcher deadline to a per-call flag and maps node:test's Infinity to kTimeoutMax, which responds to two points from the earlier review. The PR description still poses open maintainer questions on the spawnSync deadline ranking and the unhandledRejection routing, and three inline findings are posted this run, so a human decision is still needed.

If you have decided not to act on one of these findings, resolve its thread (a reply alone leaves it open) and the next review stops counting it. To review this commit again now, use Re-run on its "Claude Code Review" check.
A timeout of 4294967295 ms (about 49.7 days) or more also disables it. A test without a timeout still fails when nothing left on the event loop could settle it. See [Unsettled Top-Level Await](#unsettled-top-level-await).

🟡 nit (optional): Users who pass the new 'no timeout' threshold on the command line get a 49.7-day deadline, not the no-timeout behaviour this line documents. docs/test/runtime-behavior.mdx:127 says 4294967295 ms or more disables the timeout, but --timeout is parsed with parse_int:: at src/runtime/cli/Arguments.rs:2122 and never goes through bun_test::timeout_ms, so --timeout 4294967295 arms a far file timer and a stuck test waits instead of failing, while --timeout 4294967296 is rejected as "Invalid timeout". Fix: apply the same rule to the CLI flag (route the parsed value through bun_test::timeout_ms, or document that the rule covers only test(), hooks, setDefaultTimeout() and jest.setTimeout()).
Why this was flagged
A user runs bun test --timeout 4294967295 (the value docs/test/runtime-behavior.mdx:127 now says disables the timeout) on a file whose test can never settle. src/runtime/cli/Arguments.rs:2122 stores the value as u32::MAX in default_timeout_ms with no call to bun_test::timeout_ms; ScopeFunctions.rs:1045 hands it to the test as a finite timeout, so on_entry_started arms a deadline 49.7 days away and the never-settled check at src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:4114 never fires because the file timer stays ACTIVE. The user waits forever, where setDefaultTimeout(4294967295) in the same file (jest.rs:623 via bun_test.rs:2337) stores 0 and fails the test at once with A test or hook with no timeout never settled. On the base branch neither path treated 4294967295 as no timeout, so the inconsistency and the inaccurate doc line are new with this change; --timeout 4294967296 additionally exits 1 with Invalid timeout rather than meaning no timeout.
Verification: nit. Trigger: bun test --timeout 4294967295 on a test that can never settle. src/runtime/cli/Arguments.rs:2122 stores the parsed u32 raw, never going through bun_test::timeout_ms, so a 49.7-day timer is armed and the never-settled check at src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:4114-4115 never fires. Behavior is unchanged from base; docs/test/runtime-behavior.mdx:127 adds a claim the CLI does not honor.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: nit: Users whose concurrent-group hook has timeout 0 or Infinity still get its un-awaited matcher ended at a sibling test's deadline, unlike the test case this PR fixes. runs_test_with_no_timeout at src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs:226 requires active_entry == test_entry, so a running beforeEach/afterEach/around hook with timeout 0 never sets pending_matchers_have_no_deadline. Fix: treat any executing entry whose timeout is 0 as a possible caller, e.g. check the active entry's timeout instead of the test entry's, while keeping EPOCH of a not-started entry meaning "not set" (gate on executing). A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
A file has describe.concurrent with test.concurrent("a", fn, 100) and test.concurrent("b", fn, 100), and afterEach(async () => { await later(); expect(later(1, 500)).resolves.toBe(1); }, 0). After the await, execution.on_stack is None, so RunningEntry::of (src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:122-146) attributes the matcher to the group and hold() at expect_deferred.rs:227-233 asks sequences.iter().any(ExecutionSequence::runs_test_with_no_timeout). For the hook's sequence active_entry is the hook, not test_entry, so Execution.rs:226 returns false and pending_matchers_have_no_deadline stays false. step_group at Execution.rs:1045-1059 then folds the tests' 100 ms deadlines and calls group_timed_out at Execution.rs:1059, reporting "An un-awaited matcher in a concurrent test timed out because its promise never settled" although the caller has no timeout. This equals the base branch's behaviour for a hook with 0; the PR's new rule at Execution.rs:1045 only covers test entries.
Verification: runs_test_with_no_timeout at Execution.rs:224-229 requires self.active_entry == self.test_entry. While a hook runs, active_entry is the hook entry, so a hook with timeout == 0 never sets the flag. step_group folds only test_entry timespecs, so group_timed_out reports even though the hook has no timeout. On the base branch the same fold ran unconditionally, so the hook outcome is unchanged.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: A concurrent test with no timeout that calls an un-awaited matcher before its first await still abandons the whole file when the loop empties, instead of the call-site report the after-await case now gets. Such a matcher is sequence-held, so group_never_settles returns false at src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:867 (remaining_incomplete_entries is 1), and test_command.rs:4134 breaks out of the file with "A test or hook with no timeout never settled"; later tests and afterAll never run and the stuck test is not counted as failed. Fix: when nothing is left, also give up the matchers held by sequences of the active concurrent group whose callback_done is set, ending those entries, so both registration points behave the same. A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
Trigger: a file with test.concurrent("a", () => { expect(new Promise(() => {})).resolves.toBe(1); }, 0) (or Infinity), another concurrent sibling, then more tests or an afterAll. The matcher is called while the callback is on the stack, so RunningEntry::of at src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:128-135 takes execution.on_stack and holds the sequence, not the group; step_sequence_one at src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs:1377 then returns Execute { timeout: EPOCH } with the sequence still incomplete. When the event loop is empty, ExpectDeferred::group_never_settles at expect_deferred.rs:867 sees remaining_incomplete_entries > 0 and returns false. TestCommand::run at src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs:4121 asks what_runner_waits_for, which returns ("A test or hook with no timeout", None), reports it as an unhandled error between tests, and breaks at test_command.rs:4134-4137: the rest of the file, including afterAll, is skipped and the test is not reported as failed. The same matcher placed after an await is group-held and is reported at its call site with the file continuing. The base branch behaves the same for timeout 0 and hung for Infinity.
Verification: With the loop empty, group_never_settles (expect_deferred.rs:867) returns false because group.remaining_incomplete_entries > 0. Back in test_command.rs:4134 waits_for.is_none() is true and the loop breaks: the file is abandoned, later tests and afterAll never run, and the error is "A test or hook with no timeout never settled" rather than the matcher's call site. No new test covers it.
a53dd37 also fixes the regression that I had a separate branch for: the wait in step_group for the matcher of a concurrent test with timeout: 0. I will not open a second PR for it.
I ran a release build of a53dd37 on 44 scenario files. Each file is a concurrent group with a matcher that is called after an await or from a timer. Every file where a running test with no timeout is the caller has the right result. Three results are still wrong:
A hook is the caller. The group gives the matcher of the hook up at the deadline of the tests.
Main and a53dd37 print error: An un-awaited matcher in a concurrent test timed out because its promise never settled twice and exit 1. The result is the same with 0 as the timeout of the hook, which the open threads at Execution.rs:228 name.
A hook keeps every test of the group from starting. No test has a deadline, so the group has none. On an empty event loop group_never_settles ends the wait. With an open handle the run does not end, as on main. The case: a beforeEach with a 50 ms timeout that leaves a never-settling matcher, and a setInterval.
group_never_settles in a group where every test has no timeout. A never-settling matcher with a .then() goes from exit 1 on main (A test or hook with no timeout never settled) to exit 0 with no error line. give_up reports only a call whose promise has no reaction.
robobun/2e0b253b/group-matcher-wait-hooks is a53dd37 plus one commit (91f3377) for items 1 and 2: +27/-13 in Execution.rs and expect_deferred.rs, and 4 cases. RunningEntry::hold looks at each test and hook that runs when the matcher is called. One with no timeout sets the flag. The others give their deadline, and that deadline seeds the fold in step_group.
The 8 cases of this PR for the group wait pass with the commit. The 4 new cases fail on a53dd37 and on main.
Of the 44 files, 3 change against a53dd37. The two hook files exit 0. The file of item 2 ends at the deadline of the hook.
One result moves the other way. In a group where no test starts, a matcher that a hook calls is given up at the deadline of that hook. Main waits for it with no deadline.
Item 3 is not in the commit.
The group wait is separable. If it must land before the Infinity change, the parts of a53dd37 in Execution.rs and expect_deferred.rs, and the one call in test_command.rs, can be a PR of their own.

Questions for a maintainer
Bun.spawnSyncdeadline. After anawaitin a concurrent group, the runner takes the latest deadline of the running tests, because it does not know which of them calledspawnSync. On main a running test withInfinityis the latest, and a running test with0is the earliest. One stored value cannot keep both. This PR gives0the row ofInfinity(the commit of bun test: rank "no timeout" as the latest deadline for spawnSync in a concurrent group #46213, which asks to land with or after bun test: time out a test or hook whose callback completes after its deadline #39440).

Is this the row you want?process.on("unhandledRejection")listener in a Vitest test file takes it, and the run exits 0 withRan 0 tests. This PR reports it without that dispatch.

A matcher that a concurrent test calls after an
await, and that nothing awaits, is held by the group: the runner does not know the caller. On main the group waits until the latest deadline of its tests, and a test with no timeout does not count. Now the group has no deadline when a test with no timeout was running at the time such a matcher was called, because that test may be the caller. In every other case the rule of main holds, so a matcher that a timed test leaves behind still ends at the deadline, also with an open handle.When nothing on the event loop can settle the matchers of a group with no deadline, the check reports each where it was called (
An un-awaited matcher in a concurrent test never settled) and the file goes on. On main the check printed one error with no location and left the file.One case is left: a test with no timeout is still running when a timed test leaves a matcher that never settles, and a handle stays open. The group then waits, as with
