## Summary
Adds a new `concurrentTestGlob` configuration option to bunfig.toml that
allows test files matching a glob pattern to automatically run with
concurrent test execution enabled. This provides granular control over
which tests run concurrently without modifying test files or using the
global `--concurrent` flag.
## Problem
Currently, enabling concurrent test execution in Bun requires either:
1. Using the `--concurrent` flag (affects ALL tests)
2. Manually adding `test.concurrent()` to individual test functions
(requires modifying test files)
This creates challenges for:
- Large codebases wanting to gradually migrate to concurrent testing
- Projects with mixed test types (unit tests that need isolation vs
integration tests that can run in parallel)
- CI/CD pipelines that want to optimize test execution without code
changes
## Solution
This PR introduces a `concurrentTestGlob` option in bunfig.toml that
automatically enables concurrent execution for test files matching a
specified glob pattern:
```toml
[test]
concurrentTestGlob = "**/concurrent-*.test.ts"
```
### Key Features
- ✅ Non-breaking: Completely opt-in via configuration
- ✅ Flexible: Use glob patterns to target specific test files or
directories
- ✅ Override-friendly: `--concurrent` flag still forces all tests to run
concurrently
- ✅ Zero code changes: No need to modify existing test files
## Implementation Details
### Code Changes
1. Added `concurrent_test_glob` field to `TestOptions` struct
(`src/cli.zig`)
2. Added parsing for `concurrentTestGlob` from bunfig.toml
(`src/bunfig.zig`)
3. Added `concurrent_test_glob` field to `TestRunner`
(`src/bun.js/test/jest.zig`)
4. Implemented `shouldFileRunConcurrently()` method that checks file
paths against the glob pattern
5. Updated test execution logic to apply concurrent mode based on glob
matching (`src/bun.js/test/ScopeFunctions.zig`)
### How It Works
- When a test file is loaded, its path is checked against the configured
glob pattern
- If it matches, all tests in that file run concurrently (as if
`--concurrent` was passed)
- Files not matching the pattern run sequentially as normal
- The `--concurrent` CLI flag overrides this behavior when specified
## Usage Examples
### Basic Usage
```toml
# bunfig.toml
[test]
concurrentTestGlob = "**/integration/*.test.ts"
```
### Multiple Patterns
```toml
[test]
concurrentTestGlob = [
"**/integration/*.test.ts",
"**/e2e/*.test.ts",
"**/concurrent-*.test.ts"
]
```
### Migration Strategy
Teams can gradually migrate to concurrent testing:
1. Start with integration tests: `"**/integration/*.test.ts"`
2. Add stable unit tests: `"**/fast-*.test.ts"`
3. Eventually migrate most tests except those requiring isolation
## Testing
Added comprehensive test coverage in
`test/cli/test/concurrent-test-glob.test.ts`:
- ✅ Tests matching glob patterns run concurrently (verified via
execution order logging)
- ✅ Tests not matching patterns run sequentially (verified via shared
state and execution order)
- ✅ `--concurrent` flag properly overrides the glob setting
- Tests use file system logging to deterministically verify concurrent
vs sequential execution
## Documentation
Complete documentation added:
- `docs/runtime/bunfig.md` - Configuration reference
- `docs/test/configuration.md` - Test configuration details
- `docs/test/examples/concurrent-test-glob.md` - Comprehensive example
with migration guide
## Performance Considerations
- Glob matching happens once per test file during loading
- Uses Bun's existing `glob.match()` implementation
- Minimal overhead: simple string pattern matching
- Future optimization: Could cache match results per file path
## Breaking Changes
None. This is a fully backward-compatible, opt-in feature.
## Checklist
- [x] Implementation complete and building
- [x] Tests passing
- [x] Documentation updated
- [x] No breaking changes
- [x] Follows existing code patterns
## Related Issues
This addresses common requests for more granular control over concurrent
test execution, particularly for large codebases migrating from other
test runners.

# New features:
## Concurrent tests
Concurrent tests allow running multiple async tests at the same time.
```ts
// concurrent.test.ts
test.concurrent("this takes a while 1", async () => {
await Bun.sleep(1000);
});
test.concurrent("this takes a while 2", async () => {
await Bun.sleep(1000);
});
test.concurrent("this takes a while 3", async () => {
await Bun.sleep(1000);
});
```
Without `.concurrent`, this test file takes 3 seconds to run because
each one has to wait for the one before it to finish before it can
start.
With `.concurrent`, this file takes 1 second because all three sleeps
can run at once.
```
$> bun-after test concurrent
concurrent.test.js:
✓ this takes a while 1 [1005.36ms]
✓ this takes a while 2 [1012.51ms]
✓ this takes a while 3 [1013.15ms]
3 pass
0 fail
Ran 3 tests across 1 file. [1081.00ms]
```
To run all tests as concurrent, pass the `--concurrent` flag when
running tests.
Limitations:
- concurrent tests cannot attribute `expect()` call counts to the test,
meaning `expect.assertions()` does not function
- concurrent tests cannot use `toMatchSnapshot`. `toMatchInlineSnapshot`
is still supported.
- `beforeAll`/`afterAll` will never be executed concurrently.
`beforeEach`/`afterEach` will.
## Chaining
Chaining multiple describe/test qualifiers is now allowed. Previously,
it would fail.
```ts
// chaining-test-qualifiers.test.ts
test.failing.each([1, 2, 3])("each %i", async i => {
throw new Error(i);
});
```
```
$> bun-after test chaining-test-qualifiers
a.test.js:
✓ each 1
✓ each 2
✓ each 3
```
# Breaking changes:
## Describe ordering
Previously, describe callbacks were called immediately. Now, they are
deferred until the outer callback has finished running. The previous
order matched Jest. The new order is similar to Vitest, but does not
match exactly.
```ts
// describe-ordering.test.ts
describe("outer", () => {
console.log("outer before");
describe("inner", () => {
console.log("inner");
});
console.log("outer after");
});
```
Before, this would print
```
$> bun-before test describe-ordering
outer before
inner
outer after
```
Now, this will print
```
$> bun-after test describe-ordering
outer before
outer after
inner
```
## Test ordering
Describes are no longer always called before tests. They are now in
order.
```ts
// test-ordering.test.ts
test("one", () => {});
describe("scope", () => {
test("two", () => {});
});
test("three", () => {});
```
Before, this would print
```
$> bun-before test test-ordering
✓ scope > two
✓ one
✓ three
```
Now, this will print
```
$> bun-after test test-ordering
✓ one
✓ scope > two
✓ three
```
## Preload hooks
Previously, beforeAll in a preload ran before the first file and
afterAll ran after the last file. Now, beforeAll will run at the start
of each file and afterAll will run at the end of each file. This
behaviour matches Jest and Vitest.
```ts
// preload.ts
beforeAll(() => console.log("preload: beforeAll"));
afterAll(() => console.log("preload: afterAll"));
```
```ts
// preload-ordering-1.test.ts
test("demonstration file 1", () => {});
```
```ts
// preload-ordering-2.test.ts
test("demonstration file 2", () => {});
```
```
$> bun-before test --preload=./preload preload-ordering
preload-ordering-1.test.ts:
preload: beforeAll
✓ demonstration file 1
preload-ordering-2.test.ts:
✓ demonstration file 2
preload: afterAll
```
```
$> bun-after test --preload=./preload preload-ordering
preload-ordering-1.test.ts:
preload: beforeAll
✓ demonstration file 1
preload: afterAll
preload-ordering-2.test.ts:
preload: beforeAll
✓ demonstration file 2
preload: afterAll
```
## Describe failures
Current behaviour is that when an error is thrown inside a describe
callback, none of the tests declared there will run. Now, describes
declared inside will also not run. The new behaviour matches the
behaviour of Jest and Vitest.
```ts
// describe-failures.test.ts
describe("erroring describe", () => {
test("this test does not run because its describe failed", () => {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
describe("inner describe", () => {
console.log("does the inner describe callback get called?");
test("does the inner test run?", () => {
expect(true).toBe(true);
});
});
throw new Error("uh oh!");
});
```
Before, the inner describe callback would be called and the inner test
would run, although the outer test would not:
```
$> bun-before test describe-failures
describe-failures.test.ts:
does the inner describe callback get called?
# Unhandled error between tests
-------------------------------
11 | throw new Error("uh oh!");
^
error: uh oh!
-------------------------------
✓ erroring describe > inner describe > does the inner test run?
1 pass
0 fail
1 error
1 expect() calls
Ran 1 test across 1 file.
Exited with code [1]
```
Now, the inner describe callback is not called at all.
```
$> bun-after test describe-failures
describe-failures.test.ts:
# Unhandled error between tests
-------------------------------
11 | throw new Error("uh oh!");
^
error: uh oh!
-------------------------------
0 pass
0 fail
1 error
Ran 0 tests across 1 file.
Exited with code [1]
```
## Hook failures
Previously, a beforeAll failure would skip subsequent beforeAll()s, the
test, and the afterAll. Now, a beforeAll failure skips any subsequent
beforeAll()s and the test, but not the afterAll.
```js
beforeAll(() => {
throw new Error("before all: uh oh!");
});
test("my test", () => {
console.log("my test");
});
afterAll(() => console.log("after all"));
```
```
$> bun-before test hook-failures
Error: before all: uh oh!
$> bun-after test hook-failures
Error: before all: uh oh!
after all
```
Previously, an async beforeEach failure would still allow the test to
run. Now, an async beforeEach failure will prevent the test from running
```js
beforeEach(() => {
await 0;
throw "uh oh!";
});
it("the test", async () => {
console.log("does the test run?");
});
```
```
$> bun-before test async-beforeeach-failure
does the test run?
error: uh oh!
uh oh!
✗ the test
$> bun-after test async-beforeeach-failure
error: uh oh!
uh oh!
✗ the test
```
## Hook timeouts
Hooks will now time out, and can have their timeout configured in an
options parameter
```js
beforeAll(async () => {
await Bun.sleep(1000);
}, 500);
test("my test", () => {
console.log("ran my test");
});
```
```
$> bun-before test hook-timeouts
ran my test
Ran 1 test across 1 file. [1011.00ms]
$> bun-after test hook-timeouts
✗ my test [501.15ms]
^ a beforeEach/afterEach hook timed out for this test.
```
## Hook execution order
beforeAll will now execute before the tests in the scope, rather than
immediately when it is called.
```ts
describe("d1", () => {
beforeAll(() => {
console.log("<d1>");
});
test("test", () => {
console.log(" test");
});
afterAll(() => {
console.log("</d1>");
});
});
describe("d2", () => {
beforeAll(() => {
console.log("<d2>");
});
test("test", () => {
console.log(" test");
});
afterAll(() => {
console.log("</d2>");
});
});
```
```
$> bun-before test ./beforeall-ordering.test.ts
<d1>
<d2>
test
</d1>
test
</d2>
$> bun-after test ./beforeall-ordering.test.ts
<d1>
test
</d1>
<d2>
test
</d2>
```
## test inside test
test() inside test() now errors rather than silently failing. Support
for this may be added in the future.
```ts
test("outer", () => {
console.log("outer");
test("inner", () => {
console.log("inner");
});
});
```
```
$> bun-before test
outer
✓ outer [0.06ms]
1 pass
0 fail
Ran 1 test across 1 file. [8.00ms]
$> bun-after test
outer
1 | test("outer", () => {
2 | console.log("outer");
3 | test("inner", () => {
^
error: Cannot call test() inside a test. Call it inside describe() instead.
✗ outer [0.71ms]
0 pass
1 fail
```
## afterAll inside test
afterAll inside a test is no longer allowed
```ts
test("test 1", () => {
afterAll(() => console.log("afterAll"));
console.log("test 1");
});
test("test 2", () => {
console.log("test 2");
});
```
```
$> bun-before
test 1
✓ test 1 [0.05ms]
test 2
✓ test 2
afterAll
$> bun-after
error: Cannot call afterAll() inside a test. Call it inside describe() instead.
✗ test 1 [1.00ms]
test 2
✓ test 2 [0.20ms]
```
# Only inside only
Previously, an outer 'describe.only' would run all tests inside it even
if there was an inner 'test.only'. Now, only the innermost only tests
are executed.
```ts
describe.only("outer", () => {
test("one", () => console.log("should not run"));
test.only("two", () => console.log("should run"));
});
```
```
$> bun-before test
should not run
should run
$> bun-after test
should run
```
With no inner only, the outer only will still run all tests:
```ts
describe.only("outer", () => {
test("test 1", () => console.log("test 1 runs"));
test("test 2", () => console.log("test 2 runs"));
});
```
# Potential follow-up work
- [ ] for concurrent tests, display headers before console.log messages
saying which test it is for
- this will need async context or similar
- refActiveExecutionEntry should also be able to know the current test
even in test.concurrent
- [ ] `test("rerun me", () => { console.log("run one time!"); });`
`--rerun-each=3` <- this runs the first and third time but not the
second time. fix.
- [ ] should to cache the JSValue created from
DoneCallback.callAsFunction
- [ ] implement retry and rerun params for tests.
- [ ] Remove finalizer on ScopeFunctions.zig by storing the data in 3
jsvalues passed in bind rather than using a custom class. We should also
migrate off of the ClassGenerator for ScopeFunctions
- [ ] support concurrent limit, how many concurrent tests are allowed to
run at a time. ie `--concurrent-limit=25`
- [ ] flag to run tests in random order
- [ ] `test.failing` should have its own style in the same way
`test.todo` passing marks as 'todo' insetead of 'passing'. right now
it's `✓` which is confusing.
- [ ] remove all instances of bun.jsc.Jest.Jest.current
- [ ] test options should be in BunTestRoot
- [ ] we will need one global still, stored in the globalobject/vm/?.
but it should not be a Jest instance.
- [ ] consider allowing test() inside test(), as well as afterEach and
afterAll. could even allow describe() too. to do this we would switch
from indices to pointers and they would be in a linked list. they would
be allocated in memorypools for perf/locality. some special
consideration is needed for making sure repeated tests lose their
temporary items. this could also improve memory usage soomewhat.
- [ ] consider using a jsc Bound Function rather than CallbackWithArgs.
bound functions allow adding arguments and they are only one value for
GC instead of many. and this removes our unnecessary three copies.
- [ ] eliminate Strong.Safe. we should be using a C++ class instead.
- [ ] consider modifying the junit reporter to print the whole describe
tree at the end instead of trying to output as test results come in. and
move it into its own file.
- [ ] expect_call_count/expect_assertions is confusing. rename to
`expect_calls`, `assert_expect_calls`. or something.
- [ ] Should make line_no be an enum with a none option and a function
to get if line nombers are enabled
- [ ] looks like we don't need to use file_id anymore (remove
`bun.jsc.Jest.Jest.runner.?.getOrPutFile(file_path).file_id;`, store the
file path directly)
- [ ] 'dot' test reporter like vitest?
- [ ] `test.failing.if(false)` errors because it can't replace mode
'failing' with mode 'skip'. this should probably be allowed instead.
- [ ] trigger timeout termination exception for `while(true) {}`
- [ ] clean up unused callbacks. as soon as we advance to the next
execution group, we can fully clean out the previous one. sometimes
within an execution sequence we can do the same.
- clean by swapping held values with undefined
- [ ] structure cache for performance for donecallback/scopefunctions
- [ ] consider migrating CallbackWithArgs to be a bound function. the
length of the bound function can exclude the specified args.
- [ ] setting both result and maybe_skip is not ideal, maybe there
should be a function to do both at once?
- [ ] try using a linked list rather than arraylist for describe/test
children, see how it affects performance
- [ ] consider a memory pool for describescope/executionentry. test if
it improves performance.
- [ ] consider making RefDataValue methods return the reason for failure
rather than ?value. that way we can improve error messages. the reason
could be a string or it could be a defined error set
- [ ] instead of 'description orelse (unnamed)', let's have description
default to 'unnamed' and not free it if it === the global that defines
that
- [ ] Add a phase before ordering results that inherits properties to
the parents. (eg inherit only from the child and inherit has_callback
from the child. and has_callback can be on describe/test individually
rather than on base). then we won't have that happening in an init()
function (terrible!)
- [ ] this test was incidentally passing because resolves.pass() wasn't
waiting for promise
```
test("fetching with Request object - issue #1527", async () => {
const server = createServer((req, res) => {
res.end();
}).listen(0);
try {
await once(server, "listening");
const body = JSON.stringify({ foo: "bar" });
const request = new Request(`http://localhost:${server.address().port}`,
{
method: "POST",
body,
});
expect(fetch(request)).resolves.pass();
} finally {
server.closeAllConnections();
}
});
```
- [ ] the error "expect.assertions() is not supported in the describe
phase, in concurrent tests, between tests, or after test execution has
completed" is not very good. we should be able to identify which of
those it is and print the right error for the context
- [ ] consider: instead of storing weak pointers to BunTest, we can
instead give the instance an id and check that it is correct when
getting the current bun test instance from the ref
- [ ] auto_killer: add three layers of auto_killer:
- preload (includes file & test)
- file (includes test)
- test
- that way at the end of the test, we kill the test processes. at the
end of the file, we kill the file processes. at the end of all, we kill
anything remaining.
AsyncLocalStorage
- store active_id & refdatavalue. active_id is a replacement for the
above weak pointers thing. refdatavalue is for determining which test it
is. this probably fits in 2×u64
- use for auto_killer so timeouts can kill even in concurrent tests

### What does this PR do?
Previously, 'bun whoami' showed a reservation message indicating it was
reserved for future use. This change updates the command to execute 'bun
pm whoami' directly, making it consistent with npm's behavior.
Fixes#22614
Changes:
- Route 'bun whoami' to PackageManagerCommand instead of ReservedCommand
- Update PackageManagerCommand.exec to handle direct 'whoami' invocation
### How did you verify your code works?
- Add tests to verify both 'bun whoami' and 'bun pm whoami' work
correctly

This update allows users to specify the `--app` flag when running Bun commands. If the flag is provided without additional arguments, the CLI will automatically look for and execute the bun.app.ts or bun.app.js file in the current working directory. If the file is not found, an error message will be displayed, guiding users to the expected file locations.
## Summary
- Removes unused function and class expression names when
`--minify-syntax` is enabled during bundling
- Adds `--keep-names` flag to preserve original names when minifying
- Matches esbuild's minification behavior
## Problem
When minifying with `--minify-syntax`, Bun was keeping function and
class expression names even when they were never referenced, resulting
in larger bundle sizes compared to esbuild.
**Before:**
```js
export var AB = function A() { };
// Bun output: var AB = function A() {};
// esbuild output: var AB = function() {};
```
## Solution
This PR adds logic to remove unused function and class expression names
during minification, matching esbuild's behavior. Names are only removed
when:
- `--minify-syntax` is enabled
- Bundling is enabled (not transform-only mode)
- The scope doesn't contain direct eval (which could reference the name
dynamically)
- The symbol's usage count is 0
Additionally, a `--keep-names` flag has been added to preserve original
names when desired (useful for debugging or runtime reflection).
## Testing
- Updated existing test in `bundler_minify.test.ts`
- All transpiler tests pass
- Manually verified output matches esbuild for various cases
## Examples
```bash
# Without --keep-names (names removed)
bun build --minify-syntax input.js
# var AB = function() {}
# With --keep-names (names preserved)
bun build --minify-syntax --keep-names input.js
# var AB = function A() {}
```

## Summary
This PR implements the `--workspaces` flag for the `bun run` command,
allowing scripts to be run in all workspace packages as defined in the
`"workspaces"` field in package.json.
Fixes the infinite loop issue reported in
https://github.com/threepointone/bun-workspace-bug-repro
## Changes
- Added `--workspaces` flag to run scripts in all workspace packages
- Added `--if-present` flag to gracefully skip packages without the
script
- Root package is excluded when using `--workspaces` to prevent infinite
recursion
- Added comprehensive tests for the new functionality
## Usage
```bash
# Run "test" script in all workspace packages
bun run --workspaces test
# Skip packages that don't have the script
bun run --workspaces --if-present build
# Combine with filters
bun run --filter="@scope/*" test
```
## Behavior
The `--workspaces` flag must come **before** the script name (matching
npm's behavior):
- ✅ `bun run --workspaces test`
- ❌ `bun run test --workspaces` (treated as passthrough to script)
## Test Plan
- [x] Added test cases in `test/cli/run/workspaces.test.ts`
- [x] Verified fix for infinite loop issue in
https://github.com/threepointone/bun-workspace-bug-repro
- [x] Tested with `--if-present` flag
- [x] All tests pass locally

## Summary
Fixes an issue where compiled standalone binaries included an extra
executable name argument in `process.argv`, breaking code that uses
`node:util.parseArgs()` with `process.argv.slice(2)`.
## Problem
When running a compiled binary, `process.argv` incorrectly included the
executable name as a third argument:
```bash
./my-app
# process.argv = ["bun", "/$bunfs/root/my-app", "./my-app"] # BUG
```
This caused `parseArgs()` to fail with "Unexpected argument" errors,
breaking previously valid code.
## Solution
Fixed the `offset_for_passthrough` calculation in `cli.zig` to always
skip the executable name for standalone binaries, ensuring
`process.argv` only contains the runtime name and script path:
```bash
./my-app
# process.argv = ["bun", "/$bunfs/root/my-app"] # FIXED
```
## Test plan
- [x] Added regression test in `test/regression/issue/22157.test.ts`
- [x] Verified existing exec-argv functionality still works correctly
- [x] Manual testing confirms the fix resolves the parseArgs issue

## Summary
Fixes an issue where `--compile-exec-argv` options were incorrectly
appearing in `process.argv` when no user arguments were provided to a
compiled standalone binary.
## Problem
When building a standalone binary with `--compile-exec-argv`, the exec
argv options would leak into `process.argv` when running the binary
without any user arguments:
```bash
# Build with exec argv
bun build --compile-exec-argv="--user-agent=hello" --compile ./a.js
# Run without arguments - BEFORE fix
./a
# Output showed --user-agent=hello in both execArgv AND argv (incorrect)
{
execArgv: [ "--user-agent=hello" ],
argv: [ "bun", "/$bunfs/root/a", "--user-agent=hello" ], # <- BUG: exec argv leaked here
}
# Expected behavior (matches runtime):
bun --user-agent=hello a.js
{
execArgv: [ "--user-agent=hello" ],
argv: [ "/path/to/bun", "/path/to/a.js" ], # <- No exec argv in process.argv
}
```
## Solution
The issue was in the offset calculation for determining which arguments
to pass through to the JavaScript runtime. The offset was being
calculated before modifying the argv array with exec argv options,
causing it to be incorrect when the original argv only contained the
executable name.
The fix ensures that:
- `process.execArgv` correctly contains the compile-exec-argv options
- `process.argv` only contains the executable, script path, and user
arguments
- exec argv options never leak into `process.argv`
## Test plan
Added comprehensive tests to verify:
1. Exec argv options don't leak into process.argv when no user arguments
are provided
2. User arguments are properly passed through when exec argv is present
3. Existing behavior continues to work correctly
All tests pass:
```
bun test compile-argv.test.ts
✓ 3 tests pass
```

## Summary
This PR adds a new `--compile-argv` option to `bun build --compile` that
allows developers to embed runtime arguments into standalone
executables. The specified arguments are stored in the executable
metadata during compilation and provide **dual functionality**:
1. **🔧 Actually processed by Bun runtime** (like passing them on command
line)
2. **📊 Available in `process.execArgv`** (for application inspection)
This means flags like `--user-agent`, `--smol`, `--max-memory` will
actually take effect AND be visible to your application!
## Motivation & Use Cases
### 1. **Global User Agent for Web Scraping**
Perfect for @thdxr's opencode use case - the user agent actually gets
applied:
```bash
# Compile with custom user agent that ACTUALLY works
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--user-agent='OpenCode/1.0'" ./scraper.ts --outfile=opencode
# The user agent is applied by Bun runtime AND visible in execArgv
./opencode # All HTTP requests use the custom user agent!
```
### 2. **Memory-Optimized Builds**
Create builds with actual runtime memory optimizations:
```bash
# Compile with memory optimization that ACTUALLY takes effect
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--smol --max-memory=512mb" ./app.ts --outfile=app-optimized
# Bun runtime actually runs in smol mode with memory limit
```
### 3. **Performance & Debug Builds**
Different builds with different runtime characteristics:
```bash
# Production: optimized for memory
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--smol --gc-frequency=high" ./app.ts --outfile=app-prod
# Debug: with inspector enabled
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--inspect=0.0.0.0:9229" ./app.ts --outfile=app-debug
```
### 4. **Security & Network Configuration**
Embed security settings that actually apply:
```bash
# TLS and network settings that work
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--tls-min-version=1.3 --dns-timeout=5000" ./secure-app.ts
```
## How It Works
### Dual Processing Architecture
The implementation provides both behaviors:
```bash
# Compiled with: --compile-argv="--smol --user-agent=Bot/1.0"
./my-app --config=prod.json
```
**What happens:**
1. **🔧 Runtime Processing**: Bun processes `--smol` and
`--user-agent=Bot/1.0` as if passed on command line
2. **📊 Application Access**: Your app can inspect these via
`process.execArgv`
```javascript
// In your compiled application:
// 1. The flags actually took effect:
// - Bun is running in smol mode (--smol processed)
// - All HTTP requests use Bot/1.0 user agent (--user-agent processed)
// 2. You can also inspect what flags were used:
console.log(process.execArgv); // ["--smol", "--user-agent=Bot/1.0"]
console.log(process.argv); // ["./my-app", "--config=prod.json"]
// 3. Your application logic can adapt:
if (process.execArgv.includes("--smol")) {
console.log("Running in memory-optimized mode");
}
```
### Implementation Details
1. **Build Time**: Arguments stored in executable metadata
2. **Runtime Startup**:
- Arguments prepended to actual argv processing (so Bun processes them)
- Arguments also populate `process.execArgv` (so app can inspect them)
3. **Result**: Flags work as if passed on command line + visible to
application
## Example Usage
```bash
# User agent that actually works
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--user-agent='MyBot/1.0'" ./scraper.ts --outfile=scraper
# Memory optimization that actually applies
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--smol --max-memory=256mb" ./microservice.ts --outfile=micro
# Debug build with working inspector
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--inspect=127.0.0.1:9229" ./app.ts --outfile=app-debug
# Multiple working flags
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--smol --user-agent=Bot/1.0 --tls-min-version=1.3" ./secure-scraper.ts
```
## Runtime Verification
```javascript
// Check what runtime flags are active
const hasSmol = process.execArgv.includes("--smol");
const userAgent = process.execArgv.find(arg => arg.startsWith("--user-agent="))?.split("=")[1];
const maxMemory = process.execArgv.find(arg => arg.startsWith("--max-memory="))?.split("=")[1];
console.log("Memory optimized:", hasSmol);
console.log("User agent:", userAgent);
console.log("Memory limit:", maxMemory);
// These flags also actually took effect in the runtime!
```
## Changes Made
### Core Implementation
- **Arguments.zig**: Added `--compile-argv <STR>` flag with validation
- **StandaloneModuleGraph.zig**: Serialization/deserialization for
`compile_argv`
- **build_command.zig**: Pass `compile_argv` to module graph
- **cli.zig**: **Prepend arguments to actual argv processing** (so Bun
processes them)
- **node_process.zig**: **Populate `process.execArgv`** from stored
arguments
- **bun.zig**: Made `appendOptionsEnv()` public for reuse
### Testing
- **expectBundled.ts**: Added `compileArgv` test support
- **compile-argv.test.ts**: Tests verifying dual behavior
## Behavior
### Complete Dual Functionality
```javascript
// With --compile-argv="--smol --user-agent=TestBot/1.0":
// ✅ Runtime flags actually processed by Bun:
// - Memory usage optimized (--smol effect)
// - HTTP requests use TestBot/1.0 user agent (--user-agent effect)
// ✅ Flags visible to application:
process.execArgv // ["--smol", "--user-agent=TestBot/1.0"]
process.argv // ["./app", ...script-args] (unchanged)
```
## Backward Compatibility
- ✅ Purely additive feature - no breaking changes
- ✅ Optional flag - existing behavior unchanged when not used
- ✅ No impact on non-compile builds
## Perfect for @thdxr's Use Case!
```bash
# Compile opencode with working user agent
bun build --compile --compile-argv="--user-agent='OpenCode/1.0'" ./opencode.ts --outfile=opencode
# Results in:
# 1. All HTTP requests actually use OpenCode/1.0 user agent ✨
# 2. process.execArgv contains ["--user-agent=OpenCode/1.0"] for inspection ✨
```
The user agent will actually work in all HTTP requests made by the
compiled executable, not just be visible as metadata!

Splits up js_parser.zig into multiple files. Also changes visitExprInOut
to use function calls rather than switch
Not ready:
- [ ] P.zig is ~70,000 tokens, still needs to get smaller
- [x] ~~measure zig build time before & after (is it slower?)~~ no
significant impact
