What does this PR do?

A worker whose entry file fails to parse reported a SyntaxError with only a message: no stack, sourceURL, line or column, and with no 'error' listener the parent's crash output pointed at node:events' throw er with no mention of the worker file.

BuildMessage / ResolveMessage weren't structured-cloneable. They now serialize through the existing error wire format — a BuildMessage (parse diagnostic) arrives as a SyntaxError, a ResolveMessage as an Error — carrying message, sourceURL/line/column and a conventional stack. That covers postMessage, structuredClone, bun:jsc serialize and worker error reporting alike; the worker-only "rebuild a SyntaxError from the message text" special case is removed.

A listener-less worker error was rethrown from inside emit(), so the parent described it by that throw site. An error that arrived from another thread has no throw site on the parent worth showing, so node:worker_threads now reports the value through the uncaught-exception path instead (errorMonitor, uncaughtException, exit code unchanged) and the printer describes the error itself.

Along the way, in the native error printer: .stack-string frames of the form at <url>:<line>:<col> (no name/parens — how V8 and Bun print anonymous/top-level frames) were dropping every frame after them; frames parsed from a .stack were source-mapped a second time; the in-memory source preview skipped the line directly above the error line; and source-line collection re-walked JSC's weakly-held frames in a second pass (each ZigStackFrame now pins the SourceProvider its position came from).

worker entry const y = ; before after
worker.on('error', e) SyntaxError, {message} only SyntaxError with sourceURL/line/column, stackbad.js:2:11
no listener (stderr) code frame of node:events, at emitError code frame of bad.js, at bad.js:2:11

Supersedes #34333.

How did you verify your code works?

New tests in worker_threads.test.ts (listener + no-listener) and structured-clone.test.ts (diagnostic clones incl. bun:jsc, pool identity); both fail on the current release and pass on a debug build. test-worker-{syntax-error,syntax-error-file,uncaught-exception,uncaught-exception-async,esm-missing-main,exit-code,abort-on-uncaught-exception,non-fatal-uncaught-exception}.js, capture-stack-trace.test.js and the full structured-clone.test.ts pass. A 257-case differential run of error output against main shows no changes outside the worker/.stack-parsing cases above. Out of scope: Web Worker ErrorEvent.filename/lineno/colno, cause/own-prop preservation across the worker boundary.

…xError / Error

Bun's parse and resolve diagnostics have Error.prototype in their chain
but wrap VM-local parser state, so structuredClone / postMessage /
worker error reporting rejected them with DataCloneError. The worker
unhandled-rejection path papered over that by rebuilding a SyntaxError
from just the message text, which dropped the file/line/column.

Serialize them through the existing ErrorInstance wire format instead:
a BuildMessage becomes a SyntaxError and a ResolveMessage an Error, each
carrying message, sourceURL/line/column and a conventional
`Name: message\n    at file:line:column` stack. The worker special case
goes away; a worker whose entry fails to parse now reports a SyntaxError
whose own properties point at the worker file.
…row site

The native printer preferred the wrapping JSC::Exception's throw-site
stack over the ErrorInstance's own frames, so any error created in one
place and thrown from another (an EventEmitter 'error' with no
listener, a worker error rethrown by node:worker_threads, a
structuredClone'd error) was shown as coming from `throw err` -- for
worker errors that meant node:events internals with no mention of the
worker file.

Use the error's own captured frames first, then its `.stack` string
(materialized, deserialized, or Error.captureStackTrace'd), and fall
back to the throw site only when it has neither. Supporting fixes that
this exposed:

- V8StackTraceIterator stopped at the first `at <url>:<line>:<col>`
  frame (no name, no parentheses), which both V8 and Bun emit for
  anonymous/top-level frames; parse them, default missing line/column
  to invalid rather than 0, and skip the `unknown`/`native` placeholder
  frames the way populateStackTrace skips native frames.
- Non-top frames parsed from a `.stack` string were source-mapped a
  second time.
- A thrown (rather than rejected) BuildMessage/ResolveMessage was
  printed as a generic object because the DOMWrapper check looked at
  the Exception cell; look through it and print the throw site after
  the diagnostic.
- ZigException__collectSourceLines revisits whichever frames were
  populated (tracked via frames_are_throw_site) instead of assuming the
  throw site.

…frames for source lines

Source-line collection was a second pass that went back to a
Vector<JSC::StackFrame> by index (jsc_stack_frame_index), so it had to
guess which vector the first pass had used -- the error's own frames or
the Exception's throw site -- and frames_are_throw_site existed only to
carry that guess across the two FFI calls (the error's frames can be
dropped by GC in between).

Have populateStackFramePosition ref the SourceProvider the position was
computed against onto the ZigStackFrame itself; collectSourceLines then
just slices the top frame's provider at its byte_position. No stack
vector, index, JSValue or flag is needed in the second pass, it is
robust to the printer reordering/filtering frames first, and
PopulateStackTraceFlags goes away. Frames discarded by the hidden-frame
filter are now deinit'd rather than left holding their refs.

1204-1276: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid converting duplicate BuildMessage/ResolveMessage references before the duplicate check.

toSerializableErrorInstance runs before startObjectInternal(obj). For a JSBuildMessage/JSResolveMessage, this call constructs a full new ErrorInstance (heap allocation, fresh message/sourceURL/stack strings) through the Rust bridge. If obj is a duplicate reference already recorded in the object pool, this new ErrorInstance is discarded immediately after startObjectInternal returns true.

Every repeat reference to the same diagnostic object in the cloned graph now redoes this conversion for nothing. Check for a duplicate before calling the conversion, so only the first occurrence pays the conversion cost.

⚡ Proposed fix
-            if (auto* errorInstance = toSerializableErrorInstance(m_lexicalGlobalObject, obj)) {
-                if (!startObjectInternal(obj)) // handle duplicates
-                    return true;
+            if (checkForDuplicate(obj))
+                return true;
+            if (auto* errorInstance = toSerializableErrorInstance(m_lexicalGlobalObject, obj)) {
+                recordObject(obj);
+                write(ObjectTag); // keep tag placement consistent with startObjectInternal's contract
Confirm the exact tag-writing contract of `startObjectInternal`/`recordObject` in this file before applying, since the surrounding branch writes its own `ErrorInstanceTag` rather than the generic `ObjectTag`.

Additional findings (outside current diff — PR may have been updated during review):

  • 🔴 src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp:481-484 — Reordering fromErrorInstance to prefer err->stackTrace() over the wrapping JSC::Exception's throw-site stack shifts the source-preview caret for throw new Error(...) from the end of the statement to the new Error( call, which breaks two un-updated inline snapshots — CI build #95315 has test/regression/issue/12782.test.ts and test/js/bun/test/only-failures.test.ts failing on ≥6 platforms. Per REVIEW.md ('When changing output/defaults/messages, grep the suite for assertions on the old behavior and update them in the same PR'), regenerate those two snapshots (or fix the caret if the shift for the same-line throw new Error case is unintended) before merge.

    Extended reasoning...

    What changed

    Before this PR, fromErrorInstance (src/jsc/bindings/ZigException.cpp) checked the wrapping JSC::Exception's stack (stackTrace, i.e. jscException->stack()) first and populated frames from it with FinalizerSafety::NotInFinalizer. Only if that was empty did it fall back to err->stackTrace(). After this PR the order is inverted: err->stackTrace() (the ErrorInstance's own construction-time frames) is preferred, and the throw-site stack is only used as a last-resort fallback (the new framesAreThrowSite block). ZigException__collectSourceLines was changed the same way, so the source-preview caret follows whichever stack fromErrorInstance chose.

    Why the caret moves

    For a plain throw new Error("..."), both stacks exist but record different bytecode indices: the JSC::Exception stack records the throw op (which sits at the end of the statement), while err->stackTrace() records the new Error(...) call. populateStackFramePositiongetAdjustedPositionForBytecode therefore yields a different column, and the ^ in the source-preview shifts from the tail of the string literal to the E of Error (or thereabouts). The pre-existing reportError.test.ts snapshot — which has always gone through err->stackTrace() because reportError() has no JSC::Exception wrapper — already shows the caret under new Error at column 17, confirming this is where the creation-site path lands.

    Why the tests break

    normalizeBunSnapshot normalizes at ... (file:NN:NN) frame lines but does not normalize the ^ caret line, so a column shift there is a hard snapshot mismatch. Both affected files pin the caret exactly:

    • test/regression/issue/12782.test.ts:30-31 — the preload fixture does if (!FOO) throw new Error("Environment variable FOO is not set"); and the snapshot has the caret at column ~70 (end of the string literal).
    • test/js/bun/test/only-failures.test.ts:41-42 — fixture line throw new Error("This test fails"); with the caret at column ~40 (end of the string).

    Neither file is in this PR's changed-files list.

    Step-by-step proof

    1. bun test runs 12782.setup.ts as a preload; its beforeAll throws new Error("Environment variable FOO is not set").
    2. bun-test's uncaught-error path calls JSGlobalObject__tryTakeException, which returns the JSC::Exception cell wrapping the ErrorInstance.
    3. JSC__JSValue__toZigException unwraps it and calls fromErrorInstance(exception, global, error, &jscException->stack(), ...).
    4. Before: stackTrace != nullptr && stackTrace->size() > 0 → populate from throw-site → caret at the throw op (end of line). After: err->stackTrace() != nullptr && err->stackTrace()->size() > 0 → populate from creation-site → caret at new Error(.
    5. ZigException__collectSourceLines now takes the !exception->frames_are_throw_site branch and re-reads source lines from error->stackTrace(), so the printed ^ matches the new column.
    6. normalizeBunSnapshot(stderr) leaves the caret line untouched → toMatchInlineSnapshot fails.

    CI corroborates: robobun build #95315 on commit 27205dd reports both files failing across 🐧 25.04 aarch64/x64, 🐧 13 aarch64/x64/x64-asan, and 🐧 3.23 aarch64 — a consistent multi-platform failure, not flake. Both files' last change (f426a8e) is an ancestor of this PR, so they were green on main.

    Fix

    REVIEW.md is explicit: "When changing output/defaults/messages, grep the suite for assertions on the old behavior and update them in the same PR." Run bun bd test test/regression/issue/12782.test.ts test/js/bun/test/only-failures.test.ts and let toMatchInlineSnapshot regenerate — the new caret position (pointing at new Error( construction) is arguably more accurate than the throw-op tail and is consistent with the PR's stated goal ("describe an error by where it came from"). If instead the caret shift for the same-line throw new Error case is considered a regression, the err->stackTrace() branch would need special-casing — but either way CI must be green before merge.

- A thrown BuildMessage/ResolveMessage is printed even if it was `logged`
  before (that dedupe is against the module loader, not user rethrows), and
  the throw-site frames printed after it are source-mapped.
- A `.stack`-parsed top frame with no line no longer gets a synthetic 1:1
  position and line-1 preview; an already-remapped position is left as is.
- Look through the Exception with the existing JSValue::to_error instead of
  a new JSC__Exception__thrownValue export; reuse is_unknown_source for the
  preview-frame pick; drop the unreachable discard loop / getFromSourceURL
  flag in fromErrorInstance; name table covers every JSErrorCode; check for
  duplicates before converting a diagnostic in the serializer.
- Update the caret/column snapshots that encoded the throw-statement divot
  (12782, 19850, only-failures, dots), inspect.test.ts (<anonymous> now kept

Drain subprocess output before asserting process completion.

stdio creates pipes for both stdout and stderr. The tests wait for proc.exited before consuming proc.stderr, and they never consume proc.stdout. If either pipe fills, the child cannot exit and the test hangs. Read both streams concurrently with proc.exited, then assert the output before proc.exitCode.

Suggested drain pattern
     });
-    await proc.exited;
-    expect(proc.exitCode).toBe(1);
-    let err = await new Response(proc.stderr).text();
+    const [, stdout, stderr] = await Promise.all([
+      proc.exited,
+      new Response(proc.stdout).text(),
+      new Response(proc.stderr).text(),
+    ]);
+    expect(stdout).toBe("");
+    let err = stderr;
...
+    expect(proc.exitCode).toBe(1);

Apply the same pattern to the second subprocess.

As per coding guidelines: “Subprocess tests must drain stdout, stderr, and process exit concurrently and assert the combined result and ordered stage outputs.” Based on learnings: Bun subprocess tests should consume output before asserting exitCode.

Comment thread src/jsc/bindings/webcore/SerializedScriptValue.cpp
…rrors by value

Preferring an error's own frames / `.stack` string over the JSC::Exception
throw site regressed more than it fixed (frames capped at
Error.stackTraceLimit, the rethrow site vanishing, node:vm / eval sources
losing their preview, garbage `.stack` strings beating the real location),
so fromErrorInstance goes back to throw site -> own frames -> `.stack` ->
own properties, and the thrown-diagnostic look-through is dropped.

The listener-less worker case is fixed where it is actually wrong instead:
an error that arrived from another thread has no throw site on the parent,
so node:worker_threads no longer manufactures one by throwing it from
inside emit() -- with no 'error' listener it reports the value through the
uncaught-exception path (errorMonitor / uncaughtException / exit code as
before), and the printer describes the error itself.

Also: collectSourceLines takes the frame the printer picked and its
walk-back no longer skips the line above the error line; one
preview-frame predicate instead of three; `at (url:1:2)` and URL-less
`.stack` frames don't produce garbage; no dangling `file:` when only a
column is known; O(1) ErrorInstance check in the serializer.

I reviewed this PR and the automated bug-hunting pass found no issues; the earlier inline findings have all been addressed. Given the scope — a per-frame SourceProvider ref/deref lifecycle across the Rust/C++ FFI boundary, a ZigStackFrame layout change, the V8StackTraceIterator/source-preview rewrite, and the new structured-clone path for BuildMessage/ResolveMessage — a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • ZigStackFrame.source_provider ref balance: populateStackFramePosition refs, Holder::deinit/frame.deinit() and the new discarded-frame loop in remap_zig_exception deref; frame slots are written at most once so no double-ref.
  • collectSourceLines line-scan bounds against sourceString.length() and the byte_position guard.
  • toSerializableErrorInstance uses the non-throwing ErrorInstance::create overload; object-pool identity kept via startObjectInternal(obj).
  • worker_threads no-listener path: errorMonitor/uncaughtException still fire, exit code preserved (covered by the new test and the listed test-worker-* cases).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Twenty files across the native error printer (ZigException.cpp, ZigStackFrame.rs, ZigException.rs, VirtualMachine.rs, headers-handwritten.h), structured clone (SerializedScriptValue.cpp, BuildMessage.rs, ResolveMessage.rs, bun_string_jsc.rs, bindings.cpp), worker error reporting (worker_threads.ts, web_worker.rs), plus tests and snapshot updates. The core changes are: (1) each ZigStackFrame now pins the SourceProvider its position was computed from, replacing the two-pass jsc_stack_frame_index + OnlySourceLines mechanism; (2) collectSourceLines is rewritten to slice from that pinned provider; (3) V8StackTraceIterator now parses paren-less at <url>:l:c frames and the caller filters unlocatable ones; (4) BuildMessage/ResolveMessage gain a to_error_instance conversion so they serialize through the existing error wire format; (5) a listener-less worker error is reported via reportUncaughtException instead of throwing from inside emit().

Security risks

None identified. The change is error-reporting/diagnostic plumbing; no auth, crypto, or untrusted-input parsing surface beyond the existing .stack-string parser (which already handled arbitrary strings).

Level of scrutiny

High. This is memory-safety-adjacent native code — a new refcount lifecycle (SourceProvider*) threaded through a #[repr(C)] struct that crosses the Rust/C++ boundary, with an ABI/layout change on both sides. The error printer has very broad blast radius (every uncaught error, Bun.inspect(error), test-runner output), and the PR intentionally changes its output in several ways (frame priority, preview line count, parsed-frame rendering), which is why multiple snapshot files were regenerated. REVIEW.md flags refcount balance and FFI struct layout as the most-blocked category.

Other factors

  • All prior inline findings (Windows path normalization in tests, missing EvalError/URIError/AggregateError arms, bun:jsc coverage for ResolveMessage, the 12782 snapshot regen, the SourceProvider overwrite concern) were addressed and the threads resolved.
  • Test coverage is solid: new worker_threads listener/no-listener tests, structured-clone diagnostics tests through both structuredClone and bun:jsc, and updated inspect.test.ts/23022 assertions that pin the new parsed-frame behavior. The PR description also cites a 257-case differential run against main.
  • The fromErrorInstance frame-priority order is unchanged in the final diff (throw-site stackTrace still first, then err->stackTrace()), so the concern I raised at an earlier head about caret shift is now confined to the removed OnlySourceLines re-walk; the regenerated snapshots reflect the intended preview change (full context lines above the error line).
  • I did not attempt to prove the ref/deref balance under GC-during-remap or worker-thread teardown, and the headers-handwritten.h layout change means any out-of-tree consumer of ZigStackFrame must be checked — both are better verified by a maintainer with ASAN CI results in hand.
