Fixes #39685

When toMatchInlineSnapshot() is the last expression of a test function body, JavaScriptCore applies tail-call optimization and elides the caller frame. The source-location walk in inline_snapshot then finds nothing, so the snapshot writer reports called from file: '' and the snapshot is never written (bun test exits 1).

test("x", () => expect(1).toMatchInlineSnapshot());
//            ^^ JSC elides this caller frame (tail position) => empty src loc

expect() itself is never in tail position (its result feeds the matcher member access), so this fix:

  1. Captures the caller src loc in Expect::call when the Expect is created — the frame is intact there.
  2. Falls back to it in inline_snapshot when the matcher walk returns an empty location.
  3. Relocates the recorded position to the actual matcher call site by reading the test file and searching for the fn_name( call at/after the expect() position, converting the found byte offset back to a (line, column) pair with the same counting as Source::line_col_to_byte_offset.

This also covers toThrowErrorMatchingInlineSnapshot, which goes through the same inline_snapshot path. Passing-tail-position snapshots are unaffected (they early-return before the location is used); only the "needs write" path changes.

Regression test in test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts exercises three tail positions: expression body, explicit return, and multi-line expression body. All three fail on the current release (called from file: ''); with this fix they are located, written, and the run exits 0.

When toMatchInlineSnapshot() is the last expression of a test function body, JavaScriptCore applies tail-call optimization and elides the caller frame, so get_caller_src_loc() returns an empty location and the snapshot writer reports 'called from file: '.

expect() itself is never in tail position (its result feeds the matcher member access), so capture its caller src loc when the Expect is created and fall back to it when the matcher walk finds nothing. The matcher call site is then relocated by reading the test file and finding the fn_name( call at/after the expect() position.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Changes

Inline snapshot attribution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Caller location capture and export
src/jsc/lib.rs, src/runtime/test_runner/expect.rs
Expect captures and releases the caller source location. CallerSrcLoc is re-exported from the crate root.
Inline snapshot location resolution
src/runtime/test_runner/expect.rs
Inline snapshot handling falls back to the captured location after tail-call optimization. Helpers locate matcher calls and convert source offsets to line and column positions.
Inline snapshot regression coverage
test/cli/test/bun-test.test.ts
Tests cover expression-bodied, explicit-return, and multiline matcher calls. The test verifies snapshot output and successful execution.

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 95dbd

The current implementation does not build because the new source-location helper returns the wrong type, so the PR is not merge-ready. After that is fixed, failed source reads and heuristic matching could still write inline snapshots at incorrect locations.

Propagate test-file read errors.

When open or read_to_end fails, this function returns None. The caller then writes the inline snapshot at the captured expect() location instead of the matcher location. This can edit the wrong source position.

Return the underlying bun_sys error through the snapshot path. Include the test file path and the failed operation in the matcher error.

Replace the byte scan with syntax-aware matcher lookup.

This scan does not parse JavaScript or TypeScript. It can select toMatchInlineSnapshot( text in a comment, string, regular expression, or unrelated function call after expect(). The snapshot writer can then modify the wrong location.

Parse the test source and locate the matching call expression after the captured expect() expression.

Cover every changed inline-snapshot path.

This test executes only toMatchInlineSnapshot. It does not execute toThrowErrorMatchingInlineSnapshot, although this PR changes that fallback path.

The multiline assertion only checks .toMatchInlineSnapshot(. The two earlier cases already satisfy that assertion. Assert the unique serialized object snapshot from the multiline case.

Add a tail-position toThrowErrorMatchingInlineSnapshot case and assert its rewritten inline snapshot.

Add None after the loop. The plain break leaves the tail-positioned loop with type (), so this function does not satisfy its Option<(u64, u64)> return type. This also handles byte offsets at or beyond the end of text.

Cross-reference: #39111 (open since before this PR) fixes #39685 as well. It records the location when the matcher property is read, so it does not add work to expect() and does not need to search the file text for the matcher name. The test file there has a case where the matcher name also appears inside the expect() argument, which a text search from the expect() position picks up first. Linking the two so whoever reviews can compare.
