Problem

• bun test: a mock of a build.module() module takes its place for good. When the mock ends, the name fails, also in later test files: error: Cannot find module '$app/environment' from '.../later.test.ts'.
• A file path name loads the file instead, silently.
• The table has one slot per name (src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.h:24). A mock overwrites the function (BunPlugin.cpp:474), and unmockModule erases the entry (:2894).

Fix

• An entry is VirtualModule { provider, mock } behind a private map. addModuleMock and removeModuleMock change only mock.
• build.module() on a mocked name ends the mock as unmock() does. On main it overwrote the mock.
• Verified: 24 fixture tests in test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts, in 3 isolation modes (main fails 13, 9, 9). test/aot/runner-suites runs 22 under --aot. Also plugins.test.ts, isolation.test.ts.
• Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 8 addressed. Open: tracking issues for three gaps (Notes).

Background

• build.module(name, fn) registers a module with no file. A module mock stands in front of a name until it is removed.
• bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 (unreleased) removes a test file's mocks when the file ends.
• Weighed: a second map for displaced functions (two writers to keep in step). Serving the mock's original too conflicts with Bun.plugin: load the original of a mocked module under the path onLoad was shown #48218, so that follows.

Downsides

• vi.importActual, importOriginal (ENOENT reading "$app/environment") and jest.requireActual (Cannot find module '$app/environment?actual') still fail for such a name, as on main. onResolve plus onLoad works.
• Against main: a preload's mock that build.module() ends in a test file is back for the next file.
• Cost: .text +3,328 bytes, a table entry 16 to 24 bytes, one build.module() call +34 instructions.

Notes

Origin and timing. No user reported this. #48218 lists it under "Not changed here". #44833 is in no release, so this change should merge before the first release that has it. Related to #5541: a comment there names mock.module and Bun.plugin virtual modules as two answers for $app/environment. A project that uses both hits this bug.

Rows. Release builds: 1.4.4, main 2596ac5d39, that commit plus this PR. bun test with no flag. "n/a": 1.4.4 has no vi.doMock, vi.doUnmock, vi.importActual or jest.requireActual, and it keeps the mocks of a test file for the next files.

Row	1.4.4	main	this PR
vi.doMock(name), vi.doUnmock(name), import(name)	n/a	Cannot find module '$app/environment'	plugin
The next test file imports the name	the mock of the earlier file	Cannot find module '$app/environment'	plugin

vi.importActual(name) under a mock	n/a	ENOENT reading "$app/environment"	the same error
jest.requireActual(name) under a mock	n/a	Cannot find module '$app/environment?actual'	the same error

A probe of 10 mock APIs in the 3 modes, 4 tests each: 102 of 120 tests pass (main: 91). The 18 that fail ask for the original.

build.module() on a mocked name (endModuleMockOfGivenModule). Of a mock and build.module(), the later call has the name, as on main and in 1.4.4. On main the function overwrote the mock in the slot, and nothing of the mock was undone. Now the mock ends as where vi.doUnmock() removes it:

• What the mock changed is restored. mock.module, and vi.mock or jest.mock that a test calls, update a loaded module in place. That is why the namespace that S5 loaded first has its own exports again.
• A preload's mock that a test file ends this way is back for the next file, as after vi.doUnmock and as under --isolate. On main the next file has the preload's mock only if the preload itself imported the name. Otherwise it has the test file's module, as in 1.4.4, which has no reset between files.
• unmock() itself is not touched, because AOT: the next base #48120 edits it. The two statements are written a second time.

Not changed here (the same on main and with this PR).

• The original of a mocked build.module() module: vi.importActual, importOriginal, jest.requireActual, jest.createMockFromModule, { spy: true } and a mock with no factory. They need the loader to serve the key <name>?actual from the plugin's function. That code is on the lines that Bun.plugin: load the original of a mocked module under the path onLoad was shown #48218 changes (handleOnLoadResultNotPromise, withoutOriginalModuleQuery), so it follows Bun.plugin: load the original of a mocked module under the path onLoad was shown #48218 as a second PR. The branch robobun/3bb5e79e/build-module-original-full has a version of it that was built and tested before the split. The same module given with onResolve and onLoad passes 30 of 30 probe rows on main.
• S1 and S2: bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 hoists vi.mock and jest.mock, so they run before the build.module() call that their file or a helper makes, and the plugin's module loads. 1.4.4 does not hoist and gives the mock. To keep the mock there, its original must load (a mock with no factory, a spy, importOriginal), so that goes with the second PR. The first push of this PR kept the mock, and import() then threw ENOENT for those mocks where main loads the plugin's module. Row c1 of the fixture pins that.
• mock.module("pkg") where a plugin gave pkg and node_modules has pkg too: the mock has the key of the file in node_modules, and import("pkg") gets the plugin's module.
• import.meta.resolve() and Bun.resolveSync() answer from the disk for a name that build.module() gave. require.resolve() returns the name.
• With no --isolate flag, a build.module() call of one test file stays for the next files. That is the sharing rule of Bun.plugin.
• displacedPreloadModuleMocks (the mocks of a preload that a test file replaced) stays a list that call sites append to by hand. This PR adds a fourth site.

Other open PRs. Trial merges of this branch (git merge-tree):

• Bun.plugin: load the original of a mocked module under the path onLoad was shown #48218 (9e3b31f19d3), Module mocks: decode the key of a builtin's original at the builtin lookup #48305 (d72c5ea61d0) and Run runtime plugin onLoad for a resolved file without an extension #40465 (31abc32882f) merge clean.
• AOT: the next base #48120 (16de1a64fdf): 2 conflict hunks in BunPlugin.cpp (resetModules, JSMock__undoModuleMocksOfTestFile) and 1 in each of the two lists under test/aot (neighbour lines). 5 more direct reads of the map merge clean and do not compile, because the map is private now. Each becomes forEachModuleMock or moduleMockOf.
• bun test: make a mock reach the module that a load in flight asked for #48179 (ea4d542c228): 1 conflict hunk in BunPlugin.h (a neighbour line). Its virtualModules->remove(specifier) becomes removeModuleMock(specifier).

Measurements. Release builds (ThinLTO) of main 2596ac5d39 and of that commit plus this PR.

• Size (llvm-size): .text 108,257,833 -> 108,261,161 (+3,328). .rodata, .data and .bss are equal. The stripped binary grows by 4,096 bytes. No host function is added.
• The lookup is one function that is not inlined (OnLoad::findVirtualModule, 259 bytes). Inlined at its callers, .text grew by 7,296 bytes.
• sizeof: a table entry 16 -> 24 bytes, BunPlugin::OnLoad 416 = 416. The map pointer keeps its place in the class.
• Instructions of Bun::runVirtualModule, which runs once for each module fetch, from entry to return (gdb stepi, callees included): nothing registered 232 -> 231. A table with an unrelated mock 685 -> 669. A build.module() module, with the call of its function, 770 -> 755 (each within 1 over 2 runs).
• Instructions of one build.module() call: 6,897 -> 6,931.
• Protected Function handles for 1,000 build.module() names (heapStats().protectedObjectTypeCounts): registered 1,000 = 1,000, all mocked 0 -> 1,000, all unmocked 0 -> 1,000, after Bun.plugin.clearAll() 0 = 0. On main the mock drops the function, which is the bug.
• Live global objects under --isolate, with a mock left on a build.module() name in each of 12 files: at most 3. The new test in isolation.test.ts has the bar 4.
• valgrind, perf and bloaty are not in the build container. gdb, llvm-size and llvm-nm replace them.

Tests.

• The fixture is in two parts. 22 tests use names that are no files. 2 tests give build.module() the path of a file. Main fails 11, 8, 8 of the 22 and 2, 1, 1 of the 2 (no flag, --isolate, --isolate=modules). With this PR all pass, also under BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1.
• The new test in plugins.test.ts fails on main with Cannot find package 'my-mocked-virtual-module'. The new test in isolation.test.ts fails on main with Cannot find package 'virtual:left-mocked'.
• Row c1 passes on main and guards the first push's fault (above). A build where build.module() leaves the mock fails rows c3 and c4. A build that does not bring the preload's mock back fails row c5 with no flag.
• Suites on a debug ASAN build: mock-module.test.ts 313 pass, mock-hoist.test.ts 134, vi-utils.test.ts 191, vitest-apis.test.ts 151, vitest-flavor.test.ts 191, isolation-one-module-fetched-twice.test.ts 11. plugins.test.ts 270 pass and isolation.test.ts 152 pass, each with 1 failure that main has too: a test that needs more than the 5 s default in a debug build (keeps the object alive across a GC so require() can create the module again, no other builtin module patches a global class when it loads). On a busy machine, older --isolate=modules tests of these files also pass the 5 s default by a small margin, on main too.
• Not run on Windows or macOS. CI covers them.

bun test --aot. Four functions of the AOT mode read the table (isGivenByPlugin, hasPluginsThatAnswerForNames, replacesNativeModule, requireCompiledModuleForTestRunner). While a mock stands they answer as on main. After the mock they answer for the plugin again.

• test/aot/runner-suites/mock-module-*.test.ts runs each child bun test of mock-module.test.ts under --aot. The 22 tests pass there, and a compiled run runs the files that a plain run runs. All 12 files pass on a release build of this branch.
• The 2 tests with the path of a file cannot pass there. A compiled run refuses that call: module() cannot replace a module that was compiled ahead of time. They are listed in test/aot/runner-suites.known.txt and runner-suites.runs.txt, with that reason. The first push had the path in the one fixture, and CI failed on these suites.
• 97 more test files of test/aot about mocks and plugins: 1,477 pass and 0 fail. That run was on 2d625c552, which differs from the last commit only in where the two statements of unmock() are written.

Self-review. It said to split the first version of this change in two. This PR is the first half. The concerns that apply to it:

1. The code that loads an original under <name>?actual conflicts with Bun.plugin: load the original of a mocked module under the path onLoad was shown #48218 in 3 files. It is not in this PR.
2. A hand-written ?actual import with no mock changed its answer under bun run. It does not change now.
3. A mock that stays in front of a later build.module() changed answers of 1.4.4 with no decision. Now the later call has the name, as on main.
4. The land order against the open PRs was missing. It is above.
5. The key of a mock for a name that the disk has too changed. It is not in this PR.
6. The call orders had no test. Rows c1 to c5 of the fixture pin them.
7. The tests could not tell this design from others. The rows that fail on each changed build are listed above.
8. A --aot test was missing. The runner suites under test/aot now run the fixture compiled.
9. Open: the review asked for a tracking issue for each of three gaps that stay as on main (the last three under "Not changed here"). No issue is filed.

Status: ready for review. The diff is green on every CI lane that ran.

CI (build 139449 on 9856821d513): 185 of 189 jobs passed. The other 4 are the darwin x64 - test-bun shards, which still wait for an agent. No job failed. Three tests failed once and passed on a retry, and this PR does not touch them: test/aot/heavy-test-files-run-apart.test.ts (x64-asan), test/js/node/process/process-stdin.test.ts (Windows aarch64) and test/js/bun/util/filesink.test.ts (x64-asan).

How I reproduced it (main 2596ac5d39, release and debug builds):

// preload.ts
Bun.plugin({
  name: "virtual",
  setup(build) {
    build.module("$app/environment", () => ({ exports: { dev: true }, loader: "object" }));
  },
});

// mocked.test.ts
import { expect, test, vi } from "bun:test";
vi.mock("$app/environment", () => ({ dev: false }));
test("the mock", async () => {
  expect((await import("$app/environment")).dev).toBe(false);
});

// later.test.ts
import { expect, test } from "bun:test";
test("the plugin's module", async () => {
  expect((await import("$app/environment")).dev).toBe(true);
});

$ bun test --preload ./preload.ts ./mocked.test.ts ./later.test.ts
(pass) the mock
error: Cannot find module '$app/environment' from '/tmp/status-repro/later.test.ts'
(fail) the plugin's module

With this PR both tests pass.

[claude]

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

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked every forEachModuleMock caller for mutation of the map during iteration: forEachPendingModulePatch users only set flags on the mock, and resetModules, jsFunctionBunPluginClear and JSMock__undoModulePatches collect into a MarkedArgumentBuffer before calling anything that can add or remove an entry; runVirtualModule copies the entry (own Strong handles) before calling the provider function. The BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1 run that the repo review guidance asks for was not done here; the one new call site that can enter JS (endModuleMockMadeBeforeModule -> unmockModule) has a RETURN_IF_EXCEPTION after it by reading.

Extended reasoning...

The change restructures the virtual-module table in src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.h into a {provider, mock} pair behind a private map and rewrites all direct accesses in BunPlugin.cpp and BunCompiledModules.cpp, plus a new build.module()-ends-earlier-mock rule; no security-sensitive surface. Two confirmed findings are posted inline; this note only records the iteration-safety and exception-check reading that was done in addition.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp — When a preload both mocks a name with mock.module and imports it, a test file's build.module(name) does not give the plugin's module to the next test file; the next file gets the ended mock's old instance. unmockModule at BunPlugin.cpp:2933 evicts name, and keepPreloadModule at BunPlugin.cpp:2728-2729 stores the preload-loaded record in evictedPreloadModules because testFileOfModule has no entry for it. At the end of the file BunPlugin.cpp:4374-4380 re-registers that record under name while the table now holds only the provider. Fix: when build.module() ends a mock, do not keep the mock's loaded instance for restoration, so the next file's import of name reaches runVirtualModule and the provider.

  Why this was flagged

  Trigger: bun test without --isolate, a preload that calls mock.module('$app/environment', ...) and then imports '$app/environment' (so the loader holds the mock's instance under the name with testFileOfModule == 0), and a test file that calls build.module('$app/environment', fn). At BunPlugin.cpp:195 endModuleMockMadeBeforeModule takes the unmock branch (not hoisted), unmockModule appends the name to evict.modules at :2933, evictModulesAndTheirImporters runs keepPreloadModule at :2727-2729 with isTestFileRunning true and no testFileOfModule entry, and stores the mock-produced record in evictedPreloadModules. At the end of the test file, :4353-4380 puts the kept record back under the name. The next test file's import finds a registered record and never reaches runVirtualModule (:5238), so it gets the preload's mock instance, not the plugin module the PR's table promises for 'The next test file imports the name'. Remedy: do not retain a module produced by a mock that build.module() just ended.

  Verification: A mock.module mock is not hoisted, so endModuleMockMadeBeforeModule (src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp:195) takes unmockModule, which appends the name to evict.modules (:2931-2933). keepPreloadModule stores the mock's record in evictedPreloadModules (:2728-2729). giveBackPreloadModules re-registers the kept record under name (:4374-4380), so the next file's import never runs the provider.

Walkthrough

The change separates plugin-provided virtual-module providers from module mocks in the OnLoad registry. Registration, lookup, reset, cleanup, and module execution use the separate handles. Compiled-module checks use registry query methods. Tests cover precedence, restoration, module resolution, lifecycle, and isolation modes.

Changes

Plugin Virtual-Module and Mock Precedence

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Virtual-module model and helpers src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.h	Virtual-module entries store provider and mock handles separately. New helpers query and update those handles. Removing a mock retains its provider when one exists.
Provider registration and mock lifecycle src/jsc/bindings/BunPlugin.cpp	Plugin registration, module execution, mock lookup, reset, cleanup, and plugin clearing use the registry helpers. Module execution returns a mock when present or invokes the stored provider.
Module checks and precedence tests src/jsc/bindings/BunCompiledModules.cpp, test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts, test/js/bun/plugin/plugins.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts, test/aot/runner-suites.*.txt	Compiled-module checks use registry queries. Tests cover precedence, restoration after unmocking, module resolution, cleanup, isolation modes, and AOT runner-suite handling.

Replies to the review of 41199bb, all in 0b6f59d:

• A preload's mock that a test file ends with build.module() (both findings). build.module() now ends the mock with the statements of unmock(), which include the append to displacedPreloadModuleMocks. The next test file has the preload's mock again in both cases: the preload imported the name, or it did not. Before, it came back only in the first case. Rows c4 and c5 of the fixture pin both.
• BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1. The new fixture tests and the new test in plugins.test.ts pass with it on a debug build.
• A hoisted vi.mock in a file that gives the module. The first push kept such a mock in front of the module. A mock with no factory, a spy, and a factory that calls importOriginal() then threw ENOENT, where main loads the plugin's module. That rule is removed. Row c1 guards it.
• test/aot/runner-suites. The fixture is in two parts now. The part with names that are no files passes with its child runs under --aot. The part that gives build.module() the path of a file is listed in runner-suites.known.txt and runner-suites.runs.txt, because a compiled run refuses that call.
