bundler: fail the build when every entry point is dropped instead of linking zero entry points - #39799
Conversation
…linking zero entry points
An entry point that resolves to nothing used to be dropped without a log
entry. When it was the only entry point, the linker ran with an empty chunk
list and aborted in generate_chunks_in_parallel ("index out of bounds: the
len is 0 but the index is 0"). Next to a live entry point, the build
succeeded and silently emitted fewer outputs than entry points.
Three producers dropped entry points this way:
- resolve_entry_point returned a result with every path disabled (a
package.json "browser" field mapping the entry point to false, or "fs" and
node:* builtins without a browser polyfill under target browser). It now
logs an error and returns Err like every other entry point failure.
- An onResolve plugin returning external: true for an entry point. on_resolve
now logs "The entry point X cannot be marked as external".
- An entry point whose cwd-joined path does not fit a path buffer returned
from resolve_entry_point ahead of the logging. The length guard now only
skips the directory cache bust, so the resolve error is logged.
generate_from_cli and run_from_js_in_new_thread also fail with "None of the
entry points could be bundled" when parsing ends with graph.entry_points
empty, so any remaining way of losing every entry point is a build error.
The CLI drivers report entry point errors after wait_for_parse, as the JS
driver already did, so the runtime parse task is never in flight at teardown.

Status: ready for review. Reproduced on the released 1.4.0 binary: Folds #38778 and #38391 (both closed in favor of this PR) and the entry point arm of #35053. Verified the long directory form as well (cwd of 3835 bytes plus a 500 byte relative entry point), see the notes in the description. |
WalkthroughChangesThe bundler now rejects disabled, externalized, declined, and missing entry points with explicit errors. Build flows validate entry points after parsing. Regression tests cover browser targets, plugins, long paths, the build API, and workers. Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change makes builds fail clearly when no entry point can be bundled instead of panicking or silently producing incomplete output. A bounded follow-up remains for long absolute paths, where cache invalidation and retry handling may be skipped, so merge is reasonable with owner awareness. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

I re-reviewed after 1f277d4 and 06d768c — the dead-arm cleanup and comment trims look right, and the bug-hunting pass found nothing new. Because this reworks the entry-point drop paths across all four drivers (CLI, Bun.build(), bake, worker), moves the CLI error check to after wait_for_parse() (the ordering #38778 hit ASAN on), and converts two former error arms to .expect(), a maintainer sign-off would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
- Traced every
enqueue_entry_itemcaller (file_map at 3013; resolve_entry_point at 3042/3112/3192/4598) — all now guaranteepath().is_some(), so the new.expect()is sound. - The
on_resolveexternal error is gated onImportKind::EntryPointBuild, so non-entry externals are unaffected. - The bake production driver intentionally omits
fail_if_no_entry_points()(it tolerates empty;chunks.is_empty()returnsOk(vec[])). - The moved length guard now only skips the cache-bust retry, so an over-long specifier reaches the log-and-Err path.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
This PR fixes a bundler abort (index out of bounds in generate_chunks_in_parallel, Sentry BUN-3RAS) that fires when every entry point is silently dropped, and a silent partial-output bug when only some are dropped. It touches src/bundler/bundle_v2.rs (four drivers, enqueue_entry_item, on_resolve), src/bundler/transpiler.rs (resolve_entry_point + new reject_disabled_entry_point), src/jsc/web_worker.rs (dead-arm removal), and adds tests across four files.
Security risks
None identified. No auth, crypto, or untrusted-input parsing changes; the new error paths only add log entries and early returns.
Level of scrutiny
High. This is core bundler driver flow — the CLI, JS API, bake dev/production, and worker entry-point resolution all route through the changed functions. The PR removes the pre-wait_for_parse() error check in the CLI drivers so parse tasks drain before teardown (the description notes #38778 hit ASAN crashes on the earlier ordering, and cites 30/30 clean ASAN runs here). It also converts two runtime error branches into .expect() panics on the strength of a new post-condition in resolve_entry_point; I verified the invariant holds across all six call sites, but the proof is non-local.
Other factors
- User-visible behavior change: a build with one disabled entry point beside a live one now fails instead of silently emitting fewer outputs. Correct, but worth a maintainer nod.
- My prior feedback (dead
Nonearms) and the comment-cop notes were addressed in 1f277d4 / 06d768c. - Test coverage is thorough (both alone and next-to-live-entry variants, CLI and API, plugin decline path, worker error message), and the description documents
USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1failures for each. - CodeRabbit's two findings were correctly declined (bake production intentionally allows empty; error wording matches existing
--no-bundleand esbuild). - Supersedes two earlier PRs and carries part of a third, which itself signals this area has needed iteration.
Main (#39799) already logs "The entry point ... cannot be marked as external" from on_resolve. Restructure so that arm comes first and the import path rewrite is the plain else, instead of a nested check inside the fallthrough. Adapt the 29264 regression test: now that { external: true } without a path no longer falls through to NoMatch, its catch-all filter must skip the entry point or the build fails on the new entry point error.
…external matches normally Under --target bun or node the resolver returns a builtin as an external result whose path is the bare specifier. resolve_entry_point accepted it and enqueue_entry_item scheduled it as a file: a debug build trips assert_file_path_is_absolute, a release build reports File not found, and "bun:wrap" collides with the runtime's key and is dropped. The same result came back for an exact --external match on an entry point. The resolver now skips the exact --external matches for an entry point, as it already skipped the patterns (#12734), so such an entry point resolves and bundles normally. That leaves a builtin as the only external result an entry point can get. _resolve_entry_point tries a bare name as ./name first, as it does for a name that is not a package, and otherwise hands the result to the check that already rejects a disabled entry point, which reports both the browser stub and the external builtin with one message: Cannot use "node:fs" as an entry point: it resolves to a builtin module A data: URL whose MIME type is not code is the other external result and is reported as ModuleNotFound. This changes the message of the browser case added in #39799 so that bun build fs reads the same on every target.

An entry point has nothing to emit in that state.enqueue_entry_itemappends each resolved entry point tograph.entry_points(a plugin answer arrives inon_resolveinstead). The drivers wait for parsing, fail if the log has errors, then link. The linker needs one entry point, so every drop has to log.Supersedes #38778 and #38391. Carries the entry point arm of #35053, whose import path rewrite is independent.

success: true, outputs: []. The port added the bounds check, so the drop now aborts.Silent drop on 1.4.0:
bun build --target=browser ./a.ts ./b.ts --outdir=outexits 0 and writes onlyb.js. Now it exits 1 with the./a.tserror and writes nothing. The plugin test and the browser tests pin this form too.Long directory form of (c): a cwd of 3835 bytes plus a 500 byte relative entry point (

With this branch both reportModuleNotFound resolving "./eee...js" (entry point)from the CLI and fromBun.build(). The same entry point as a 4337 byte absolute path still aborts inload_as_file(src/resolver/resolver.rs:5888), the resolver overflow #39626 is for. A specifier longer than the buffer inside a package with abrowserfield aborts incheck_browser_map(resolver.rs:5108), which #37532 is for. Neither is an entry point drop.Worker: the length guard also made

--external ./b.tsorexternal: ["*"]on an entry point still bundles it (entry points are exempt from external patterns, #12734). An absolute entry point path is never looked up in the browser map, so the bake and dev server callers ofresolve_entry_point, which pass absolute paths, cannot hit the new error.node:pathunder the browser target still bundles its polyfill.Backstop reachability: the only known route left is
