Repro

A multipart part with filename="" is what every browser sends for an empty <input type="file">. Bun parses it into a File whose .name is undefined, so the universal file.name.endsWith(...) pattern throws in upload handlers:

const B = "X";
const body = `--${B}\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="f"; filename=""\r\n\r\nDATA\r\n--${B}--\r\n`;
const fd = await new Response(body, { headers: { "content-type": `multipart/form-data; boundary=${B}` } }).formData();
const f = fd.get("f");
f instanceof File; // true
f.name;            // node: ""   bun: undefined
f.name.endsWith(".png");
// node: false
// bun:  TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'f.name.endsWith')

In the released 1.4.0 the same getter also made new File([], "").name return undefined. main has since changed the File constructor to store its name argument directly, so that path already returns "" there. On main the remaining way to reach the bug is a File that FormData produced with an empty filename.

Cause

Blob::get_name returned JSValue::UNDEFINED whenever get_name_string() found no stored name. That is correct for a plain Blob (which has no spec'd name), but a File's name is a USVString attribute and can never be undefined. On main, the only producer of such a File is Blob__setAsFile (src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs:4150), which sets is_jsdom_file but leaves the name unset when the FormData filename is empty. That covers a multipart part with filename="", formData.append(name, blob) with the filename omitted, and formData.append(name, blob, "").

Fix

When get_name_string() has nothing and the blob is a File (is_jsdom_file), return the empty string instead of undefined. Plain Blobs keep returning undefined, matching Node.

Three existing assertions asserted the old undefined behavior for Files retrieved from FormData. They now assert only that .name is a string (toBeString() / expect.any(String)), which is the invariant this PR introduces. A new case, formData.append("foo3", blob, ""), asserts that an explicit empty filename yields .name === "".

Related: #32431 independently fixes the separate append-time default (a Blob appended to FormData with no filename should become a File named "blob"). This PR does not pin that value: the omitted-filename assertions here only require a string, so they stay correct when #32431 lands. The two PRs still edit the same test lines, so whichever merges second needs a trivial textual rebase.

Verification

bun bd test test/js/web/html/FormData.test.ts
bun bd test test/js/web/html/FormData-multipart-serialization.test.ts

Checked the way the gate does: with src/ at main and these tests in place, 4 tests fail (Expected: "string" Received: "undefined" and the round-trip name mismatch). With the fix, all 156 tests in the two files pass.

Rebased onto main once. The rebase required one source change: main removed String::empty(), which the first revision used. The match arm now returns JSValue::js_empty_string(global_this), the same helper get_type uses a few lines above. The behavior is unchanged. An earlier revision also added a new File([], "") test in blob.test.ts. It was removed because that case already passes on main, so it did not exercise this change.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change makes unnamed JSDOM-backed files expose File.name as an empty string. It updates Blob and FormData tests for empty filenames, multipart round trips, preserved content, and plain Blob behavior.

Changes

File name normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
File name contract
src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs, test/js/web/fetch/blob.test.ts
Unnamed JSDOM-backed files now return an empty name. Tests verify empty File.name values and undefined for plain Blob.name.
FormData filename handling
test/js/web/html/FormData.test.ts, test/js/web/html/FormData-multipart-serialization.test.ts
FormData and multipart tests now expect empty filenames for unnamed Blob-backed entries and verify multipart content and type behavior.

LGTM — minimal, spec-aligning fix with good test coverage.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR adds a single match arm to Blob::get_name in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs: when no name is stored and the blob is a File (is_jsdom_file), return "" instead of undefined. Plain Blobs keep returning undefined. The remaining changes are test additions covering new File([], "").name and the multipart filename="" path, plus updates to three existing assertions that previously locked in the non-spec undefined behavior.

Security risks

None. This only changes the JS value returned by the File.name getter from undefined to "" in the empty-name case. No parsing, allocation, or data-exposure paths are affected.

Level of scrutiny

Low. The source change is two lines (one comment + one match arm) using the already-established is_jsdom_file discriminator that the rest of the file relies on for File-vs-Blob behavior. The fix brings Bun in line with the File API spec (name is a USVString attribute and cannot be undefined) and with Node.js, and it resolves a real-world TypeError (f.name.endsWith(...)) in upload handlers receiving filename="" parts.

Other factors

New regression tests fail on main and pass with the change per the PR description. No CODEOWNERS apply to this path. The PR transparently flags a trivial test-assertion overlap with #32431 (the FormData "blob" default-name fix), which is a rebase concern only and doesn't affect correctness here. The bug-hunting system found no issues.

I checked #16850 before adding the suggested Fixes line: this PR does not close it.

That issue asks for Bun.file() (BunFile) to extend the Web File API so that .name is typed as a string and always returns one. This fix only changes the getter for actual File objects (it is gated on the internal is_jsdom_file flag), and a BunFile is not one:

Bun.file("/tmp/x.txt") instanceof File; // false, before and after this PR
Bun.file(0).name;                       // still undefined (fd-backed, no path, not a File)

Making BunFile a real File (instanceof plus the type change) is a separate, larger change, so I am leaving #16850 open.

LGTM — minimal, spec-correct fix with good test coverage.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two-line change to Blob::get_name in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs: adds a match arm so that when get_name_string() returns None and the blob is a File (is_jsdom_file), the getter returns "" instead of undefined. Plain Blob keeps returning undefined. The remaining three files are tests: a new direct new File([], "").name test, a new multipart filename="" parsing test, and updates to three existing assertions that previously locked in the non-spec undefined behavior.

Security risks

None. This swaps one falsy return value (undefined) for another ("") in a read-only getter. No auth, crypto, permissions, or untrusted-input handling is changed; the multipart parser itself isn't touched, only what the resulting File's .name getter returns when no name was stored.

Level of scrutiny

Low. The fix is a single guarded match arm using the existing is_jsdom_file flag — already the canonical File-vs-Blob discriminator used throughout this file (serialization, formatting, etc.). It brings Bun in line with the File API spec (USVString attribute) and Node's behavior, and the PR description correctly notes the interaction with #32431. None of the touched paths are CODEOWNER-gated.

Other factors

The bug hunter found nothing. New tests cover both entry points (constructor and multipart parser) and explicitly assert plain Blob behavior is unchanged. No outstanding reviewer comments. The change is small, self-contained, and strictly narrows divergence from spec/Node.

CI status (final), for whoever reviews this: build 65828 has finished. 261 jobs passed and zero jobs reported a test failure. Every red job is CI infrastructure that never executed a test.

The complete breakdown of build 65828's non-green jobs:

  • 2 failed: both darwin 26 aarch64 - test-bun. Each died before the test runner started, with the identical error on two different agents:

    Error: buildkite-agent artifact download timed out after 120s for step 'darwin-aarch64-build-bun'.
    Refusing to continue with a partial download (would silently fall back to the wrong binary).
    
  • 1 expired: linux aarch64-musl - build-bun was never picked up by an agent.

  • 22 waiting_failed: these did not fail. They are the jobs downstream of the expired build step (its verify-baseline, the 21 alpine 3.23 aarch64 - test-bun jobs, and binary-size) and were skipped because their dependency never ran.

The only annotation on the build is a flaky warning for test/napi/napi.test.ts on Windows, which passed after retries and is unrelated to this change. There is no test-failure annotation.

The previous build, 65759, failed the same way: its only failed jobs were the same two darwin 26 aarch64 - test-bun artifact timeouts.

That lane is failing across the whole pipeline right now, independent of this PR. Of the 27 most recent finished builds that include it (all on unrelated branches), 22 have at least one failed darwin 26 aarch64 - test-bun job, and 32 of those 54 jobs failed. The lane does not run on main builds, so it has no green main baseline.

The change itself is verified: the new tests fail on main and pass with the fix, and all 161 tests across the three touched files (blob.test.ts, FormData.test.ts, FormData-multipart-serialization.test.ts) pass under bun bd test. One ci: retrigger has already been spent on this, and I am not going to keep pushing empty commits at infrastructure. Since the red jobs never execute a test, they say nothing about this change, and it is ready for review as is.

LGTM — both earlier points are addressed: the arm now uses JSValue::js_empty_string(global_this) matching the file's convention, and the non-load-bearing new File([], "") test in blob.test.ts was dropped in favor of the multipart filename="" test that actually reaches the new None if is_jsdom_file arm.

What was reviewed

  • get_name match arm ordering: Some(name) still wins for any non-Dead tag, plain Blob (is_jsdom_file false) still returns undefined; only the File-with-Dead-name case changes.
  • New multipart test hits Blob__setAsFile with an empty filename (the Tag::Dead producer) and would throw on base at f.name.endsWith(...).
  • Relaxed toBeString() / expect.any(String) assertions intentionally avoid pinning "blob" so #32431 won't reintroduce a conflict beyond the textual rebase already noted.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

One-line source change in src/runtime/webcore/Blob.rs::get_name: a new match arm returns JSValue::js_empty_string(global_this) when get_name_string() is None and is_jsdom_file is set, so File.prototype.name is always a string per the File API spec. Plain Blobs (not flagged as File) keep returning undefined. Test changes: FormData.test.ts gains a multipart-parse test with filename="" and an explicit append(name, blob, "") case, and three existing assertions are relaxed from toBeUndefined() to toBeString(). FormData-multipart-serialization.test.ts relaxes one round-trip name expectation to expect.any(String).

Security risks

None. This is a getter return-value change from undefined to "" on a Web API attribute; no untrusted-input parsing, allocation, or privilege boundary is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Low. The change is a single infallible match arm using the same helper (JSValue::js_empty_string) already used four times in this file (e.g. line 2059 in get_type). Match-arm ordering was checked: Some(name) handles every non-Dead tag first, so only the Tag::Dead + is_jsdom_file case is affected, and the only producer of that state on main is Blob__setAsFile with an empty/omitted filename. No CODEOWNERS entry covers these paths.

Other factors

Both concerns from the prior review round were addressed by the two commits pushed after it: the BunString::EMPTY.to_js()? idiom nit was fixed, and the blob.test.ts test that passed on base regardless of the fix was removed. The replacement test (multipart filename="" → f.name.endsWith(".png")) throws TypeError on base and passes with the fix, satisfying the "deleting the load-bearing clause breaks a test" rule. The loosened assertions are deliberately forward-compatible with the separate #32431 default-filename fix and are called out in the PR description. Test comments are concise and non-narrative.

Closing in favor of #45373.

This PR returns "" from the name getter for each Blob that has the internal File flag and no stored name. That is the wrong place for the fix:

The .type of the same part ("" where Node gives application/octet-stream) has a different cause: the part header loop at src/runtime/webcore/FormData.rs:292 stops before it reads Content-Type. #33013 has that fix.
