Problem

  • test/js/third_party/grpc-js/test-tonic.test.ts downloads a protoc release from github.com in beforeAll. While github.com does not serve it, the hook fails on every retry. It was red in 32 of 400 builds (138467 to 139494) with error: FILE_ENDED at unzipper/lib/PullStream.js:78:32, in test tonic server > (unnamed).
  • AOT: the next base #48120 checks the response and does not cache an error page. The download remains: with a 504 answer the hook fails with error: downloading https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v31.0/protoc-31.0-linux-x86_64.zip failed: 504.

Fix

  • The Rust module that tonic-build makes from proto/helloworld.proto is a checked-in file, fixtures/tonic-server/src/helloworld.rs. build.rs, the tonic-build dependency and the unzipper package are removed.
  • The test process makes no HTTP request. helloworld.rs records the sha256 of the .proto, and a new test compares it with the present file.
  • Verified: with fetch replaced by a stub that answers 504, main fails in the hook and this branch passes. bun bd test test/js/third_party/grpc-js/test-tonic.test.ts --timeout 900000 passes.

Background

Downsides

  • A change to helloworld.proto needs a manual update of helloworld.rs and of its recorded hash. The new test checks the hash only.
  • With a cold cache, cargo downloads the tonic crates from crates.io, as on main. It resolves 79 packages, down from 101.
Notes

This PR changes tests only. No file under src/ changes.

The failure in CI. 400 finished builds, 138467 to 139494 (2026-11-07 to 2026-11-09):

  • 32 builds have an error annotation for the file. 9 more failed it once and passed on a retry. 89 of the 90 annotation entries say error: FILE_ENDED.
  • The red lanes, with their build counts: macOS x64 (10), Windows 2019 x64 (10), macOS aarch64 (10), Alpine x64 (7), Ubuntu x64 (7), Debian x64 (7), Debian x64 ASAN (6).
  • 17 builds failed a build-bun step. Every annotation of those failures has HTTP 504 for https://github.com/oven-sh/WebKit/releases/download/..., after 10 attempts. 15 of the 32 red builds of this test are among those 17.
  • In the three logs read, the hook fails after about 11 s ([11083.35ms]). That fits a gateway timeout, not a refused connection.
  • These builds ran before AOT: the next base #48120. With it, the same answer fails the hook with downloading ... failed: 504 and not with FILE_ENDED.

Why the error was FILE_ENDED before #48120. unzipper.Open.buffer() looks for the end-of-central-directory record of a zip. A body that is not a zip has none:

using server = Bun.serve({ port: 0, fetch: () => new Response("<html>504 Gateway Time-out</html>", { status: 504 }) });
const bytes = await fetch(server.url).then(res => res.bytes());
await unzipper.Open.buffer(Buffer.from(bytes)); // Error: FILE_ENDED

Local runs (Linux x64). The preload replaces globalThis.fetch with a function that answers new Response("<html>...504 Gateway Time-out...</html>", { status: 504 }).

build test preload result
release 1.4.3-canary.1 main before #48120 (2596ac5) 504 stub error: FILE_ENDED, (fail) test tonic server > (unnamed)
release 1.4.3-canary.1 main at 98cda0d 504 stub error: downloading https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v31.0/protoc-31.0-linux-x86_64.zip failed: 504 Gateway Time-out, (fail) test tonic server > (unnamed), 2 of 2 runs

release 1.4.3-canary.1 this PR with main merged 504 stub 2 pass
debug + ASAN build of main (2596ac5) this PR none 2 pass, 3 of 3 runs
debug + ASAN build of this branch with main merged this PR none 2 pass

The generated file. src/helloworld.rs is the output of tonic-build 0.13.1 with protoc 31.0 and build_client(false), so it has the two messages and the server half only. Cargo.toml still asks for tonic 0.13.1, and the fixture has no Cargo.lock, as before.

The new test. the server's generated module is made from the present helloworld.proto reads the hash that the header of helloworld.rs records and compares it with the sha256 of helloworld.proto (CRLF line ends count as LF). With string name = 1 changed to repeated string name = 1 in the .proto only, it fails and shows the two hashes. It needs no cargo, so it runs on every host. It does not check that the Rust text was made again: a hash changed by hand passes. Two earlier commits of this PR compared the Rust text with the .proto field by field. That could not keep up with what prost generates (cardinality, enums, oneofs, maps, field names), so the hash replaced it.

Before #48120, main also kept the bad download. getProtocZipBytes() wrote what it fetched to bun-test-tonic-cache/protoc-31.0-<host>.zip in the temp directory with no check. After one run with the 504 stub, that file held the 55 bytes of the error page, and each later run failed with FILE_ENDED in about 30 ms with no request, until the file was removed. In CI, 5 of the 89 FILE_ENDED entries failed in 18 to 43 ms. #48120 ended this: main at 98cda0d caches nothing when the answer is not a zip.

The time of the server test. The flow control test has a limit of 20 s. On this machine (12 cores, debug profile of the tonic server) it takes 13.6 to 17.3 s with the release build and 17.3 to 17.9 s with the debug build on this branch, and 15.0 s and 16.9 to 17.2 s on main. One debug run of this branch reached the limit at 20.0 s while the machine was busy. The server code and its dependencies are the same as on main.

Hosts. The server test runs where it ran before: macOS, and Linux and Windows on x64. Linux and Windows on arm64 stay off (hostBuildsFixture). They have never built the fixture, and a first cargo build there is a separate change.

unzipper. No test imports it after this change, so it leaves test/package.json. test/bun.lock loses it and the 9 packages that only it reached: bluebird, core-util-is, duplexer2, node-int64, process-nextick-args, and readable-stream, isarray, safe-buffer, string_decoder under duplexer2. Nothing else in the lockfile changes. A build of main wrote it with bun install --lockfile-only. The same command with no change to package.json leaves the lockfile as it is.


no test proof · iteration 2 · platform-specific test(s) that do not run on this machine, deferring to CI, which covers all platforms: test/js/third_party/grpc-js/test-tonic.test.ts

test-tonic.test.ts fetched a protoc release from github.com in beforeAll
and passed the bytes to unzipper without a check of the response. When
the download answers with an error page, the hook fails with
`error: FILE_ENDED` on every retry.

The server's module for proto/helloworld.proto is now a checked-in file,
src/helloworld.rs, the output of tonic-build 0.13.1. build.rs and the
tonic-build dependency are gone, so the test needs no protoc and makes no
request of its own. cargo resolves 79 packages for the fixture, down
from 101.

Status: ready for review. This PR changes tests only.

main is merged in (98cda0d). #48120 changed the same helper: it checks the response and does not cache an error page. The one conflict, in test-tonic.test.ts, is resolved by the removal of the download.

How to reproduce the failure on main (98cda0d):

  • Make fetch answer as github.com did in CI. Preload a file with globalThis.fetch = async () => new Response("<html>504 Gateway Time-out</html>", { status: 504 });
  • Remove the cache: rm -rf "$TMPDIR/bun-test-tonic-cache" (/tmp on Linux).
  • Run bun test --preload ./stub.ts test/js/third_party/grpc-js/test-tonic.test.ts --timeout 900000.
  • main fails in test tonic server > (unnamed) with error: downloading https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v31.0/protoc-31.0-linux-x86_64.zip failed: 504. This branch passes both tests.

CI on 5de94e7 (build 139616): every test lane that finished passed, test-tonic.test.ts included (2 pass on Windows 2019 x64. 1 pass and 1 skip on Windows 11 aarch64, where the server test stays off). The macOS x64 test jobs have not started. The nine agents of that lane are about 5 hours behind: at 04:08 UTC they ran the jobs of builds created from 22:11 to 22:37. A job that waits there expires and is scheduled again, which marks the build as failed. The build before the merge (139534) had the same state.

Walkthrough

The tonic server fixture now uses checked-in generated Rust code instead of build-time protobuf generation. The test checks the .proto file hash against the generated source and builds the fixture without downloading protoc. The integration test skips when Cargo is unavailable or the host is Linux or Windows arm64.

Changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Replace build-time protobuf generation
test/js/third_party/grpc-js/fixtures/tonic-server/Cargo.toml, .../build.rs, .../src/helloworld.rs, .../src/main.rs
The fixture removes the tonic-build dependency and build script. It adds checked-in generated message and Greeter server code, and declares the generated module.

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 that cacheDir is still live (it feeds CARGO_TARGET_DIR at test-tonic.test.ts:42, and cargo creates that directory itself, so the removed mkdir is not missed), and that src/helloworld.rs agrees with proto/helloworld.proto on package name, the /helloworld.Greeter/SayHello route, and the two single-string-field messages with tag 1. I did not compile the fixture against tonic 0.13.1 / prost 0.13, so whether the checked-in module builds as-is was judged by reading only.

Extended reasoning...

The change is test-only: it deletes the protoc download/unzip path from test/js/third_party/grpc-js/test-tonic.test.ts, removes build.rs and the tonic-build dependency from the tonic-server fixture, and checks in a generated helloworld.rs that main.rs now includes as a plain module. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The inline findings already flag the remaining crates.io dependency, the widened platform skip, and the proto/generated-file drift risk; the ruled-out notes above cover what else was examined and that the Rust build was not run in this review.

… helloworld.rs against the proto

- unzipper has no importer left. Remove it from test/package.json and
  test/bun.lock (10 packages that only it reached).
- Keep the test off Linux and Windows on arm64, where it did not run
  before.
- A new test compares the methods and fields of helloworld.rs with
  those that the client loads from helloworld.proto.

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

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked two things on this push and ruled them out: the test/bun.lock diff removes only unzipper and the packages reachable solely through it (fs-extra and graceful-fs stay, they have other consumers), and the literal \n in the helloworld.rs regexes is safe on Windows checkouts because .gitattributes pins *.rs text eol=lf. I did not run the test file or a cargo build of the fixture.

Extended reasoning...

The push since my last review drops the unzipper devDependency and its lockfile subtree, restores the previous platform set via hostBuildsFixture, and adds a text-based drift check of helloworld.rs against helloworld.proto that now covers field types and method shapes. It touches tests and a test fixture only, no src/ code and no security-sensitive surface. The hunt was cut off at its bug cap rather than running dry and a third-party inline comment at test-tonic.test.ts:40 has no visible resolution, so this is a defer note rather than an approval.

The comparison of the generated Rust text with the .proto could not keep
up with what prost generates: it did not see a change of cardinality, it
threw on an enum, and it failed on a correct module with a camelCase
field, a oneof or a map.

helloworld.rs now records the sha256 of the .proto it was made from, and
the test compares that with the hash of the present .proto. Any change
to the .proto fails until the module is made again.

LGTM — the latest push replaces the structural proto-vs-Rust comparison with a recorded sha256, which closes the drift concerns from the earlier rounds, and the rest of the change is a small, test-only removal of the protoc download.

What was reviewed:

  • Recomputed the sha256 of proto/helloworld.proto; it equals the value on helloworld.rs:13, and the generated module's service path, SERVICE_NAME and field tags match the .proto.
  • CRLF: *.rs is eol=lf in .gitattributes so the $/m regex on helloworld.rs is safe on Windows, and the .proto (not covered by .gitattributes) is normalized before hashing.
  • hostBuildsFixture yields the same host set the old release table did (macOS, x64 Linux/Windows); harness exports all four flags; unzipper has no remaining importer and the lockfile removals are only its exclusive transitive deps.
  • Not run here: the test itself (cargo build and the gRPC round trip) — checked by reading only.
Extended reasoning...

The diff touches only test files: it deletes build.rs and the tonic-build build-dependency from the Rust fixture, checks in the prost/tonic-generated helloworld.rs, strips the github.com protoc download and unzipper usage from test-tonic.test.ts, adds an always-on hash test tying the .proto to the generated module, and drops unzipper from test/package.json and test/bun.lock. No src/ or security-sensitive surface is involved. The recorded hash matches a fresh sha256 of the proto, the skip gate preserves the prior platform coverage, and no CODEOWNERS entry covers these paths; the only open bot threads were on comparison code that the final commit removed entirely. The remaining cargo fetch from crates.io on a cold cache is pre-existing and was already noted in an earlier round.
