Problem

  • When a sequential test times out while awaiting, the runner reports it and starts the next test, but the timed-out body keeps running. An expect(x).toMatchSnapshot(hint) it reaches later is keyed by the test running now: bun test appends exports[\: 1`]to the.snapfile and bumps the next test's counter, so the next test's own unhinted snapshot becomes 2. A single slow run leaves a poisoned .snapthat makes the next test fail on every later run (seen withyarn-lock-migration.test.tson a slow machine: a 2745 lineyarn-lock-mkdirp: yarn-cli-repo 1entry). Lateexpect()calls are likewise charged to the next test, so itsexpect.assertions(n)fails withexpected 1 assertion, but test ended with 3 assertions; late toMatchInlineSnapshot()calls are written into the source file on behalf of the failed test (underretry, the abandoned attempt and the retry then ask for two values on the same line, bun testprintsMultiple inline snapshots on the same line must all have the same valueand writes nothing); and a lateafterEach()/afterAll()/onTestFinished()` is added to whichever test is running by then.
  • The same happens when the runner gives up on a test because of an unhandled error while the test is still waiting, and, with retry, the abandoned attempt's late calls land on the attempt that is running.
  • Cause: expect() (Expect::call, src/runtime/test_runner/expect.rs), expect.assertions() and hook registration all use BunTest::get_current_state_data(), i.e. whatever entry the runner is executing at that moment. Nothing ties the JS that is running to the invocation it came from, so a body the runner has already given up on is indistinguishable from the next test. (bun test: fix the reason reported when a snapshot matcher's expect() has no running test #38799 covers the other half, an expect() created before the timeout; that one is already rejected, only its message is wrong.)

Fix

  • Execution::step_sequence_one creates one RefData per test/hook invocation, keeps a +1 in ExecutionSequence::executing_ref while the callback is in flight, and run_test_callback runs the callback between Bun__AsyncContextRef__enter and __leave (AsyncContextFrame.cpp). enter builds the callback's usual context plus a (ref, ref) pair, where ref is a new tiny generated class AsyncContextRef (src/runtime/test_runner/AsyncContextRef.rs) holding that RefData; everything the body awaits, schedules or registers captures that array, as AsyncLocalStorage stores already do. A callback registered without a context gets the array installed in place and leave (right after the call, before microtasks are drained) takes the refs back out of whatever the body left in the slot, so als.enterWith() and als.disable() done in a hook or test body stay in effect for the entries that follow, as on main (disable() splices the array in place, which is why leave rebuilds from the slot instead of restoring what enter saw). A callback registered under a context (als.run(() => test(..)), already an AsyncContextFrame) gets a new frame and today's install/restore from Bun__JSValue__call. Describe callbacks are not bound.
  • The two places where the runner moves on from a callback that has not completed mark the ref abandoned: the timeout branch of step_sequence_one, and on_unhandled_rejection next to the add_result that advances the test. advance_sequence releases the ref on every path.
  • Consumers: bun_test::caller_ref (used by expect(), expect.assertions(), expect.hasAssertions()) and AsyncContextRef::caller_is_abandoned (hook registration during execution) ask Bun__AsyncContextRef__current for the ref in the current async context. If it is abandoned, the call is attributed to that dead invocation; otherwise behaviour is exactly as before. An abandoned caller makes all four snapshot matchers throw the existing Snapshot matchers are not supported after the test has finished executing before they count, name or queue anything (Expect::reject_snapshot_if_abandoned, so no .snap file is created for it either), makes increment_expect_call_counter skip the sequence (the call still counts in the run total), makes expect.assertions() / expect.hasAssertions() throw their existing "... after test execution has completed" error (now naming the matcher that was called), and makes afterEach() / afterAll() / onTestFinished() throw Cannot call X() here. The test or hook it was called from has already finished executing (...). Not covered, and documented as such in on_unhandled_rejection: an error thrown late by an abandoned body is still reported against the running test, because by the time the runtime reports an uncaught error or rejection the context it was thrown in has been restored away; fixing that means recording the ref when the rejection is tracked or when a wrapped callback throws, which is a separate change that would build on this one.
  • What this switches on, since it is the cost of the change: test_command.rs enables async context tracking before each test file loads (node:vm contexts copy the flag at creation, and AsyncContextFrame::call only unwraps wrappers when it is set), and every test and hook body now runs with a non-empty context. That is the mode code inside als.run() already runs in, applied to all of bun test: every callback registered while a body or one of its continuations runs (timers, fs, fetch, servers, streams, napi...) gets an AsyncContextFrame, and promise reactions leave JSC's empty-context fast path. Numbers, all on the released binary with the equivalent als setup so that only the mode is measured: a bare await goes from 33.9 to 42.4 ns; a file of 400 tests that do nothing but 300 awaits and 150 queueMicrotask/nextTick/setImmediate round trips each goes from 113-128 ms to 116-159 ms of process time (8 interleaved runs, roughly +5-10% in the worst case); a file of 1500 tests that each await a setTimeout(0), a microtask and a file read goes from 2384-2469 ms to 2414-2493 ms (6 interleaved runs, within the noise). For the correctness side of the blast radius, bun's own suite has run in this mode on every CI lane in each build of this PR; the only failure that is not tagged flaky is mock-module.test.ts's exception-check assertion, which a build of main's src/ fails identically (reported separately). Whether that cost is worth the fix is the call to make on this PR; I think it is because there is no cheaper way to tell the two cases apart (below), but it is a runtime-wide behaviour change and not only a test-runner one.
  • Callbacks passed to test()/describe()/hooks are wrapped with their registration-time context when stored (keep_registration_async_context, in ExecutionEntry::create and enqueue_describe_callback) instead of in parse_arguments, through Bun__AsyncContextRef__withAsyncContextIfNeeded: a slot holding nothing but the runner's own pair counts as no context, so a hook registered inside a test body is stored bare exactly when main stores it bare; with a user store active it is wrapped as before, and enter drops the stale ref from the captured array. The move out of parse_arguments is needed because the old order read .length off the wrapper (an AsyncContextFrame has none, so such a hook looked like it took done and timed out) and .each tried to bind() it; both are already broken on current bun for anything registered inside als.run(...), and bun:test: defer the AsyncContextFrame wrap past .length/.bind() for tests and hooks #35334 is that fix on its own (it wraps at the two registration sites instead of the two storage sites). This PR cannot work without it, so it carries a copy; if bun:test: defer the AsyncContextFrame wrap past .length/.bind() for tests and hooks #35334 lands first this PR's version reduces to swapping in the ref-aware wrap.
  • Why this is the right rule: only the async context can tell "the rest of a body the runner gave up on" apart from "the test running now", and only abandonment makes the distinction matter. Consulting the ref for invocations that completed normally would be wrong: a server started in beforeAll (or by an earlier test) runs its handler under the hook's context, and its expect()/snapshots must keep belonging to the test making the request, which the last snapshot test pins. Rejecting rather than recording under the abandoned test's own name is right because that test's result is already final (and under retry its name belongs to the attempt that is running). Jest (currentTestName at matcher time) and Vitest (getCurrentTest() when expect() is called) misattribute these calls the same way as far as I can tell; neither binds bodies to a context. The same ref is what per-test attribution inside concurrent groups (where snapshots are currently refused outright) would need, but nothing in this PR changes concurrent behaviour.
  • run_test_callback inlines EventLoop::run_callback_with_result_and_forcefully_drain_microtasks, which is deleted from src/jsc/event_loop.rs since this was its only caller ("return if an exception is pending; call; drain, turning a stop into an exception") so that leave can sit between the call and the drain; every step and error outcome is kept (the drain is still skipped when the call threw, a stop is still reported the same way), and a failure of leave itself, which only OOM can produce, is charged to the entry like a failure of the call.
  • Related open PRs, for sequencing: this revision no longer touches snapshot.rs or get_snapshot_name, so there is no overlap left with bun test: fix the reason reported when a snapshot matcher's expect() has no running test #38799 (message for stale expect()s) or bun test: number snapshots per test file regardless of which files ran before #38874 (per-file snapshot numbering). bun test: await async test body after an unhandled rejection before running afterEach #36719 changes when the runner gives up after an unhandled error (an awaited body will be waited for; a test that only waits for done() still is given up on): the abandon_executing_callback() call here belongs next to whichever add_result survives there, and the two tests below that use that trigger were written with done() so they describe the situation both before and after it. bun test: ignore completions from an earlier attempt of a retried test #38876 (completions from an earlier retry attempt) is independent; the retry test here has the first attempt never call done() so it does not depend on it either way. jsc: get_length returns 0 for objects without a length property; bun:test reads callback arity before wrapping it #38910 (the get_length sentinel) carries bun:test: defer the AsyncContextFrame wrap past .length/.bind() for tests and hooks #35334's parse_arguments change as its second commit, so it removes the same line this PR removes; whichever of the three lands second re-applies the wrap at its own sites, a small rebase in each direction.
  • Tests:
    • test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts, "snapshot matchers called after the runner gave up on the test": timed-out test (shared body as with test.each; hinted, unhinted, toThrowErrorMatchingSnapshot, toMatchInlineSnapshot and toThrowErrorMatchingInlineSnapshot all rejected, .snap holds exactly the second test's two entries with its unhinted one still numbered 1, test file left unmodified), timed-out beforeEach (in a describe holding one test, so its 1 ms timeout only applies to the run meant to time out), test given up on because of an unhandled error while waiting for done() (no __snapshots__ created at all), abandoned first attempt with retry (retried 1 and the shared inline snapshot both hold the passing attempt's value, no Failed to update inline snapshot), and the beforeAll server non-regression. Without the src/ change the first four fail (did not throw, stale entries such as migrate second: first 1, a created .snap, both inline literals written into the file).
    • test/js/bun/test/test-on-test-finished.test.ts: onTestFinished, afterEach and afterAll called by a timed-out test while the next test runs all throw, the next test passes and none of the hooks runs. Before: all three are registered and run after the next test.
    • test/js/bun/test/expect-assertions.test.ts: late expect() calls of a timed-out test no longer fail the next test's expect.assertions(1); total stays 3 expect() calls. Fails before with expected 1 assertion, but test ended with 3 assertions.
    • test/js/bun/test/jest-hooks.test.ts: enterWith() in an afterEach and an onTestFinished registered inside a test, in a beforeAll and in a beforeEach is the store of what follows; disable() in a second beforeAll stays disabled (a later run() must not bring the old store back); a hook registered inside a test under storage.run() sees that store and the next test does not. These pin main's behaviour (on the released build only the run()-registered hook fails, through the .length bug above); the first two groups failed on earlier revisions of this PR.
    • test/js/bun/test/jest-each.test.ts: it, it with done, it.each (with and without done), describe.each and beforeEach registered inside storage.run(...) see the store and run normally; a test registered outside the store does not see it. Fails before with TypeError: bind() called on non-callable.
    • Flakiness: the two spawned blocks pass 18/18 at 6 concurrent instances on the debug/ASAN build (an earlier revision's hook case failed 3/12 that way, see details).
    • RefData balance: ref_() and RefData::destroy both log under the bun_test_group debug scope. A file combining a timed-out test that keeps calling expect() during the next test, a timed-out beforeEach, an unhandled error with retry, a done test, expect.assertions and an afterAll running Bun.gc(true) logs 18 creations and 17 destructions, balanced per entry including the three abandoned ones; the one left is the afterAll invocation itself, whose ref is still installed while it runs Bun.gc. The abandoned entries balancing covers the wrapper's +1 (finalized once the continuations that captured the array are gone), the sequence's +1 (advance_sequence) and the late expect()'s dupe_ref/deref.
    • Also run on this revision (rebased on current main): test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/ (80 pass), test/cli/test/ bun-test, test-timeout-behavior, retry-flag plus bun_test, describe, done-async, failure-skip, preload-test, test-error-code-done-callback, test-retry-repeats-basic (132 pass), test/js/node/test_runner/node-test.test.ts, test/js/node/async_hooks/AsyncLocalStorage.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/expect/ (134 pass); earlier revisions additionally ran test/js/bun/test/ as a whole and test/js/node/async_hooks/. Pre-existing local failures unrelated to this change: error snapshots needs FORCE_COLOR=1, diffexample no color trips on the debug build's summary timing (test: strip seconds-formatted summary timings, run diffexample fixture from its own dir #37333), pretty-format-overflow overflows the native stack on this debug/ASAN configuration with or without this change.

Background

  • Async context: Bun keeps AsyncLocalStorage state in one slot on the global (m_asyncContextData field 0), an array of [key, value, ...] pairs or undefined. Promise reactions, timers and native callbacks registered while the slot is non-empty capture the array and reinstall it while they run (AsyncContextSwapScope, withAsyncContextIfNeeded), so a value put there while a function runs follows that function's continuations. When the slot is undefined none of this happens, which is what the cost bullet above is about. node/async_hooks.ts asserts (debug builds only) that keys are AsyncLocalStorage instances; the assertion now also admits the ref, which AsyncLocalStorage's own methods carry along like any pair they do not own (enterWith()/run() copy the array, disable() splices it in place).
  • AsyncContextFrame: a non-callable wrapper (callback, context) that withAsyncContextIfNeeded creates when a callback is registered while the slot is non-empty; Bun__JSValue__call unwraps it, installs its context for the call and puts the previous slot value back afterwards (so writes the callback makes to the slot, enterWith(), are dropped). A bare function gets no such restore: whatever it leaves in the slot stays. enter/leave and the registration-time rule reproduce exactly that split, with the ref added on top in both cases; the ref is only in the slot while the body's synchronous part runs and is otherwise carried by whatever the body captured.
  • RefData / RefDataValue: the runner's refcounted description of "which group, sequence, entry and repeat a piece of work belongs to"; expect() already stores one as Expect::parent, and node:test's mark_result already carries one on the DoneCallback for the same reason (a late call must not mark the test running now). This change adds an abandoned flag and shares one RefData between the sequence and the context; the flag is what turns such a caller into the rejection.
  • Abandoned invocation: a callback the runner stopped waiting for while it was still running. Today that is a timeout, or an unhandled error reported while the test is still waiting. A callback that returned or settled normally is never abandoned, even if it left work behind.
Superseded revisions
  • First revision: wrapped every invocation's callback in an AsyncContextFrame carrying the combined context and let Bun__JSValue__call install and restore it. Review pointed out, and a probe on the released binary confirmed, that this discarded als.enterWith() made inside a sync beforeAll/beforeEach/test body, which on main stays in effect for the entries that follow (probe on main: {"syncEach":"each","asyncEachBefore":"each","asyncEachAfter":"each","allFirst":"all","allSecond":"all","nextAfterTest":"fromTest"}; first revision: {}). Replaced by enter/leave.
  • Second revision: still wrapped hooks registered inside a test body (the runner's own pair was in the slot at registration, so withAsyncContextIfNeeded produced a frame and enterWith() in such a hook was dropped), restored the array enter had seen when the slot still held the installed array (undone by disable(), which splices that array in place), and let late inline snapshots through. Fixed by the registration-time rule, by leave always rebuilding from the slot (which also removed the two values the class carried), and by rejecting the inline matchers; the hook probe (afterEach/onTestFinished registered inside a test calling enterWith()) went from {"afterEachEntered":true} to the released binary's {"afterEachEntered":true,"next":"from afterEach registered in a test","afterOtf":"from afterEach registered in a test"}.
  • Third revision: its timed-out-hook test gave the 1 ms timeout to a beforeEach that also ran for the second test, and a hook that returns immediately still fails with a timeout when invoking it took longer than that, which happened in 3 of 12 concurrent debug runs; the hook now only applies to the first test. It also reordered Snapshots::get_or_put and reclassified get_snapshot_name's errors (overlapping bun test: number snapshots per test file regardless of which files ran before #38874 and bun test: fix the reason reported when a snapshot matcher's expect() has no running test #38799); with the abandoned check done up front both became unnecessary and were dropped. Late hook registration was found by a second review pass and is rejected since this revision; the two unhandled-error tests were rewritten around done() at the same time (see the sequencing bullet).
Probes on the released binary (1.4.0-canary) vs this branch

Repro from the report (test A awaits a promise that test B resolves, 1 ms timeout):

# before
exports[`next: late 1`] = ...   # A's value under B's name
exports[`next 1`] = ...         # B's value
# after
late toMatchSnapshot: Snapshot matchers are not supported after the test has finished executing
exports[`next 1`] = ...

Unhinted variant before: next 1 = A's value, next 2 = B's value. expect.assertions variant before: (fail) next: expected 1 assertion, but test ended with 3 assertions. Retry variant before: retried 1 = "from attempt 1", retried 2 = "from attempt 2"; with a shared toMatchInlineSnapshot() the released binary additionally prints Failed to update inline snapshot: Multiple inline snapshots on the same line must all have the same value and leaves the file unwritten. Timed-out variant with inline matchers before: both literals written into the test file (snapshots: +2 added on behalf of the failed test). Late hooks before: onTestFinished: registered / afterEach: registered / afterAll: registered, then all three run after the second test. beforeAll server probe: identical before and after (one: requested path 1, two: requested path 1). Mixed AsyncLocalStorage probe (hook registered in a test body after enterWith() in that body, disable() in a hook followed by run()): identical values before and after.

Mode cost measurements were taken with a --preload whose beforeEach does als.enterWith({}), which puts the released binary into the same state this PR puts every body in; per-await figure from 2M iterations of x += await i (33.9 ns without a context, 42.1 to 42.6 ns inside als.run); the two file-level figures are wall-clock of the whole bun test process, runs interleaved baseline/preload on a loaded machine, so the ranges are wide but the two series were measured under the same conditions.

Known narrow interaction: expect().resolves/.rejects spin the event loop from inside the body, so work that captured no context runs with the body's context installed (pre-existing for AsyncLocalStorage users, #37932 fixes the mechanism). It only matters here if such work calls expect() while the spinning body itself has been abandoned.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The test runner adds AsyncContextRef tracking across native async contexts and test callbacks. It marks timed-out invocations as abandoned and rejects late assertions, hooks, and snapshot operations. Tests cover callback attribution and AsyncLocalStorage propagation.

Changes

Async test context attribution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native AsyncContextRef support
src/js/node/async_hooks.ts, src/jsc/bindings/AsyncContextFrame.cpp, src/jsc/generated_classes_list.rs, src/runtime/cli/test_command.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/AsyncContextRef.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/jest.classes.ts, src/runtime/test_runner/mod.rs
Native async context handling recognizes, installs, restores, and queries Bun test references. The test runner enables tracking before loading test files.
Callback context lifecycle
src/runtime/test_runner/Collection.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/ScopeFunctions.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/bun_test.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/jest.rs
Callbacks retain invocation references, enter and leave their contexts, preserve registration context, and mark timed-out invocations as abandoned.
Expectation and snapshot attribution
src/runtime/test_runner/expect.rs
Assertions and snapshot operations resolve the caller through its invocation reference. Abandoned, inactive, concurrent, and non-test callers receive dedicated handling.
Async context integration coverage
test/js/bun/test/expect-assertions.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/jest-each.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/jest-hooks.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/snapshot-tests/snapshots/snapshot.test.ts, test/js/bun/test/test-on-test-finished.test.ts
Integration tests cover late assertions, hook and AsyncLocalStorage propagation, snapshot ownership, timeout failures, unhandled failures, and retries.

Status

  • Reproduced on the released binary (1.4.0-canary) with two sequential tests: test A awaits a promise that test B resolves (1 ms timeout), then calls toMatchSnapshot(); the .snap file ends up with A's value under B's name (next: late 1, or next 1 with B's own pushed to next 2). Same with a timed-out beforeEach, a test given up on after an unhandled error, and the first attempt of a retry test; late expect() calls also fail B's expect.assertions(1), late inline snapshots are written into the source file, and hooks registered late by A are added to B.
  • Fix is in this PR (bun test: attribute late expect() calls of an abandoned test to that test instead of the next one #38880): each test/hook invocation runs under an async context carrying a ref to itself; when the runner gives up on the invocation the ref is flagged, and late expect()/snapshot/expect.assertions()/hook-registration calls are attributed to it (snapshot matchers and hook registration throw, nothing is written, counts do not land on the next test). Invocations that completed normally are never consulted, so callbacks registered in beforeAll etc. still attribute to the running test.
  • The point that needs a maintainer's judgement is the cost: this turns async context tracking on for every test body (the mode code inside als.run() already runs in). Measurements and the CI evidence are in the PR body ("What this switches on"); the known gap (errors thrown late are still reported against the running test) is described there too.
  • Current revision (25fd236, rebased on main; 25fd236 itself only removes the event-loop helper whose sole caller 3ed7956 inlined): also rejects late afterEach/afterAll/onTestFinished, drops the snapshot.rs / get_snapshot_name changes that overlapped bun test: fix the reason reported when a snapshot matcher's expect() has no running test #38799 and bun test: number snapshots per test file regardless of which files ran before #38874, and writes the unhandled-error cases so they hold with or without bun test: await async test body after an unhandled rejection before running afterEach #36719.
  • Tests: snapshot.test.ts (5 spawned cases), test-on-test-finished.test.ts (late hooks), expect-assertions.test.ts, jest-each.test.ts all fail on main; jest-hooks.test.ts pins main's AsyncLocalStorage behaviour. The spawned cases pass 18/18 at 6 concurrent instances on the debug/ASAN build.
  • CI (builds 97384 through 98078, the last one being the current revision): the one non-flaky red in each, test/js/bun/test/mock/mock-module.test.ts on x64-asan (Unchecked JS exception ... copyNameAndLength @ JSMockFunction.cpp:298), is main's: a debug build of main's src/ fails the same way locally with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1; reported separately, not fixed on main as of this rebase. Build 97475 also hit an ASAN use-after-free in spawn-stdin-readable-stream.test.ts inside a bun -e child (nothing in this PR is active there), also reported separately. Everything else passed alone or on retry (in 97994: napi.test.ts's node:vm timeout race on two lanes, which runs in a plain bun <script> child where nothing in this PR is active, and a handful of parallel-batch timeouts). Nothing is left for me to do on this PR unless a reviewer wants changes; the open question is the mode cost described in the body.

This PR may be a duplicate of:

  1. bun test: fix the reason reported when a snapshot matcher's expect() has no running test #38799 - Same bug report and the get_snapshot_name rewrite in src/runtime/test_runner/expect.rs is textually identical, so its entire src/ change is already contained here.
  2. bun:test: defer the AsyncContextFrame wrap past .length/.bind() for tests and hooks #35334 - Fixes the same AsyncContextFrame has no .length/.bind() bug for tests and hooks registered inside als.run(), with the same fix of removing the wrap from parse_arguments and re-applying it at the storage points.

Not a duplicate of either, but both overlap with parts of this PR:

The rest of this PR (binding each invocation to an AsyncContextRef, marking it abandoned on timeout / unhandled error, and caller_ref) is not in either PR.

I reviewed this revision and the bug hunter found no issues. The three regressions flagged in earlier passes (enterWith discarded by frame-wrapping, hooks registered inside a test body always wrapped, disable()'s in-place splice defeating the leave fast path) are each fixed with a pinning test in jest-hooks.test.ts, and the inline-snapshot siblings now go through reject_snapshot_if_abandoned. Given the scope — new async-context plumbing across C++/Rust, a restructured run_test_callback call/leave/drain sequence, and manual RefDataPtr lifecycle on ExecutionSequence — a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • __enter/__leave vs. every AsyncLocalStorage mutation shape (enterWith, run, disable in-place splice) and both registration paths (bare vs. AsyncContextFrame).
  • executing_ref refcount balance: dupe_ref into the sequence, the moved +1 into AsyncContextRef::enter, release_executing_ref on every advance_sequence path plus Drop.
  • keep_registration_async_context placement after .length/.bind() reads at all three storage sites (ExecutionEntry::create, enqueue_describe_callback, execution-phase hooks stay bare via holdsOnlyAsyncContextRefs).
  • get_or_put reordering: name resolved before get_snapshot_file, count still taken after — no double total increment, per-file count reset preserved.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes late expect() calls from an abandoned test (timed out or failed by an unhandled rejection while awaiting) being attributed to whichever test the runner is currently executing. The mechanism installs a per-invocation AsyncContextRef (a new tiny generated class wrapping a RefDataPtr) into the async context slot for the duration of each test/hook body, so continuations of an abandoned body can be identified and their snapshot matchers rejected / their expect() calls not counted against the running test's sequence. It touches 18 files: new C++ in AsyncContextFrame.cpp (__enter/__leave/__withAsyncContextIfNeeded/__current), a new Rust generated-class module, refcount plumbing on ExecutionSequence and RefData, a restructured run_test_callback (call → leave → drain microtasks, replacing the combined event-loop helper), a moved async-context wrap from parse_arguments to the three callback-storage sites, snapshot name/count reordering in snapshot.rs, and four test files with ~350 lines of new coverage.

Security risks

None identified. The change is internal to the test runner; the async context array is already user-visible via AsyncLocalStorage, and the added key is an opaque generated class users cannot construct. async_hooks.ts changes are debug-only ($assert/debugFormatContextValue).

Level of scrutiny

High. This is core test-runner control flow with manual intrusive refcounting (RefPtr has no Drop), GC-visible JS values threaded through C++ (MarkedArgumentBuffer, internal-field writes), and behaviour that must exactly reproduce main's enterWith/disable semantics across the raw-callback vs. frame-wrapped split. The PR went through three rounds of bug findings from earlier passes of this review, each a real regression from main; every one is now fixed with a targeted test.

Other factors

  • All prior inline findings are resolved with tests that fail on the earlier revision and pass now (jest-hooks.test.ts "entered in hooks registered inside a test", "disabled in a later beforeAll"; snapshot.test.ts retry + inline-matcher case).
  • The remaining unresolved comment-cop threads are the linter's blanket "paragraph-long comment" flag; the author trimmed what could be trimmed in 686fd82 and explained the rest are ownership/contract notes required by REVIEW.md, not workaround justifications. That is a style call for a human, not a correctness blocker.
  • The run_test_callback restructuring changes when microtasks drain relative to leave and how the callback's exception is captured; the new sequence looks equivalent to the old run_callback_with_result_and_forcefully_drain_microtasks path plus the leave step, but this is the kind of subtle ordering change a maintainer should confirm.
  • Test coverage is thorough (timeout, unhandled-rejection, retry, timed-out hook, and a non-regression case for beforeAll-registered server handlers), and the PR description records the full test matrix that was run locally.

Deferring rather than approving because the change is large, touches memory-safety-sensitive refcount and GC-adjacent code, and required multiple correctness iterations to reach this state.

…test

When the runner gives up on a test or hook whose callback is still running
(it timed out, or an unhandled error failed it while it was awaiting), the
callback keeps running while the next entry executes. expect() attributed
itself to whatever entry was running at the time, so a late toMatchSnapshot()
was written under the next test's name (and shifted that test's own snapshot
numbering), and late expect() calls were charged to the next test's
expect.assertions() count.

Every test and hook invocation now runs under an async context carrying an
AsyncContextRef for that invocation. The sequence keeps the same RefData
while the callback is in flight and marks it abandoned when the runner moves
on without the callback having completed. expect(), expect.assertions() and
expect.hasAssertions() called from JS that descends from an abandoned
invocation attribute to it: file snapshot matchers reject with the existing
"after the test has finished executing" error before the snapshot file is
created, and the calls no longer count against the running test.
Invocations that completed are never consulted, so callbacks registered by
an earlier entry and invoked later still attribute to the running entry.

Callbacks passed to test()/describe()/hooks are now wrapped with their
registration-time async context when they are stored rather than when the
arguments are parsed, so registration keeps looking at the real function:
its length decides whether it takes done, and .each binds the row to it.
This also fixes both of those for callbacks registered inside an
AsyncLocalStorage store, where the wrapper was previously inspected instead.
…he ref back out

Wrapping every invocation in an AsyncContextFrame made Bun__JSValue__call put
the previous context back after each callback, which discarded
als.enterWith() done in a sync beforeEach/beforeAll/test body; those stores
used to stay in effect for the entries that follow. The ref is now installed
directly for callbacks registered without a context and removed again right
after the call (the previous value is restored when the callback left the
slot untouched, otherwise what it installed stays minus the ref). Callbacks
registered under a context still run as wrapped callbacks do. run_test_callback
owns enter/leave so the ref comes out before microtasks are drained.

Also drain stdout in the expect-assertions test.
…te inline snapshots

expect.hasAssertions() reported its errors as expect.assertions(). The
timed-out snapshot case now also makes a late toMatchInlineSnapshot() call,
which keeps working at its own source location but must not bump the next
test's counter, and the it.each done-parameter case asserts the store too.
…uild the context on leave; reject late inline snapshots

Hooks registered inside a test body were stored as an AsyncContextFrame
because the runner's (ref, ref) pair was in the context at that point, so
they ran with frame semantics and an als.enterWith() in them was discarded.
Registration now treats a context holding nothing but refs as no context.

Leaving an invocation used to restore the array seen on enter when the
slot still held the installed array, but als.disable() splices that array
in place, so the disable was undone. Leave now always strips the refs out
of whatever the callback left in the slot, which also removes the two
values the AsyncContextRef class carried for this.

toMatchInlineSnapshot / toThrowErrorMatchingInlineSnapshot called from an
invocation the runner gave up on are rejected like the .snap matchers;
under a retry both attempts otherwise queued different values for the same
line and the file's inline snapshots were not written at all.
…shorter comments

The 1ms beforeEach also ran for "second", and a hook that returns right
away still fails with a timeout when invoking it took longer than that,
which happened under load (3 of 12 concurrent runs). The hook now lives in
a describe holding only "first".
…e snapshot hunks other PRs own

afterEach/afterAll/onTestFinished called by a test body the runner has
already given up on were added to whichever test was running by then.
They now fail with an error, through the same ref expect() uses.

The snapshot.rs reordering and the get_snapshot_name reclassification are
not needed once the abandoned check happens before the matchers touch
anything, and they overlap with #38799 and #38874, so they are gone.

The two cases that fail the running test with an unhandled error now wait
through done() instead of a returned promise, so they describe the
situation the runner gives up on whether or not #36719 has landed.

Summary of the latest revision (3ed7956, rebased on main), which responds to the last review pass and to a self-review of the previous revision:

  • Late afterEach() / afterAll() / onTestFinished() calls from a body the runner has given up on were still being added to the test running at the time (same class of bug as the expect() attribution this PR is about). They now throw, via the same ref; covered in test-on-test-finished.test.ts. Errors thrown late by such a body are still reported against the running test, because the context they were thrown in is gone by the time the runtime reports them; this is now stated in on_unhandled_rejection and in the PR body rather than fixed here.
  • The PR body now says explicitly what the change switches on (async context tracking for every test body, i.e. the als.run() mode for all of bun test), with measurements of that mode on the released binary and the CI evidence for it. That is the cost to weigh against the fix; the rest of the PR is the mechanism.
  • The snapshot.rs reordering and the get_snapshot_name reclassification are gone: the abandoned check now happens before the matchers touch anything, which makes both unnecessary, and they overlapped bun test: number snapshots per test file regardless of which files ran before #38874 and bun test: fix the reason reported when a snapshot matcher's expect() has no running test #38799. The remaining overlap is the wrap relocation that bun:test: defer the AsyncContextFrame wrap past .length/.bind() for tests and hooks #35334 fixes on its own (described in the body), and bun test: await async test body after an unhandled rejection before running afterEach #36719, which moves the point where the runner gives up after an unhandled error; the two tests that use that trigger were rewritten around done() so they hold either way.
  • On the run_test_callback ordering and the RefData refcounts raised in the review summary: the call/leave/drain sequence keeps every step and outcome of the old helper (details in the body), and creations/destructions logged under the bun_test_group scope balance per entry across a file that combines all the abandonment paths (also in the body).

Heads-up on overlap: #38910 (get_length sentinel fix) carries the parse_arguments change from #35334 as its second commit, because get_length returning 0 for an AsyncContextFrame breaks node:test unless bun:test stops reading .length off the wrapper. Both PRs remove the same with_async_context_if_needed line in parse_arguments and differ only in where the wrap is re-applied, so whichever lands second needs a small rebase; if this PR lands first, #38910 drops its second commit.

614-622: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Mark hook callbacks abandoned after an unhandled rejection.

Call sequence.abandon_executing_callback() in the hook branch before setting current_state_data to RefDataValue::Start. add_result releases the callback reference but does not set RefData::abandoned, so a late matcher can affect the next test. Add coverage for an awaiting hook that rejects and later calls a snapshot matcher.

I reviewed this revision and didn't find any bugs; the dead-helper deletion in 25fd236 addresses my last inline note. Because this enables async-context tracking for every test/hook body under bun test — a runtime-wide behaviour change the PR body itself flags as the cost/benefit call to make — a human sign-off on that tradeoff is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • __enter/__leave vs enterWith()/disable() — the identity-fast-path and hook-registered-in-test regressions from earlier passes are gone; __leave now always rebuilds from the slot.
  • RefDataPtr balance across executing_ref, the wrapper's finalize, and with_caller_sequence's scopeguard — each +1 has a named release on every exit path.
  • The inlined call/leave/drain in run_test_callback preserves each outcome of the deleted helper (pending-exception gate, termination handling, drain-stop → exception).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

19 files. A new generated JS class AsyncContextRef (Rust payload + .classes.ts entry + C++ slot manipulation in AsyncContextFrame.cpp) is put into the async-context array for the duration of each test/hook invocation so that expect(), snapshot matchers, expect.assertions() and hook registration can tell "running inside the current entry" apart from "running inside a body the runner already gave up on". ExecutionSequence gains an executing_ref: Option<RefDataPtr> that is marked abandoned at the two give-up points (timeout in step_sequence_one, unhandled-rejection in jest.rs). run_test_callback is rewired to enter/call/leave/drain so __leave runs before microtasks. test_command.rs enables async-context tracking before every file loads. Five test files add coverage for late snapshots (all four matchers), late expect() counting, late hook registration, and the enterWith()/disable()/run()-registered-hook non-regressions that earlier revisions of this PR broke.

Security risks

None identified. The change is confined to the test runner's attribution model and the async-context slot; no auth, crypto, network, or untrusted-input parsing paths are touched. The C++ additions read/write only the runner-owned context array via JSC internals.

Level of scrutiny

High. This is not a mechanical change: it introduces a new refcounted native object crossing FFI, adds a Drop impl to ExecutionSequence, inlines and reorders the callback→drain sequence in the runner's core execution path, and — most importantly — flips async-context tracking on for every test body in bun test. The PR body measures the cost (~5-10% worst-case on a microtask-heavy synthetic file, within noise on a realistic one) and explicitly presents it as the tradeoff to accept. Earlier review passes on this PR found three real regressions (enterWith discarded, disable() undone, hooks-in-test-body wrapped when they shouldn't be), each fixed with a pinning test — which is evidence both that the area is subtle and that the current revision has been shaken out.

Other factors

  • The prior inline finding (orphaned run_callback_with_result_and_forcefully_drain_microtasks) is addressed in 25fd236 and named in the PR body.
  • Test coverage is thorough for the fix itself and for the non-regressions (jest-hooks.test.ts, jest-each.test.ts pin main's ALS behaviour); the PR body documents refcount balance under the debug scope and 18/18 concurrent debug/ASAN passes.
  • The PR body also documents overlap with #35334/#38910/#36719 and one attribution case knowingly left unchanged (late-thrown errors), which is a maintainer sequencing decision.
  • Given the scope, the explicit "this is the call to make" in the description, and the fact that this changes what every callback registered under bun test captures, this is squarely a change a human should sign off on rather than an automated approval.
