An uncaught exception or an unhandled rejection stops the run loop of bun run: is_event_loop_alive() is false once an error nothing handled is counted. load_entry_point waits for the entry's top-level await with the generic wait_for_promise, which does not look at that counter. So the module kept running to its end after the error was printed, and forever with the loop in #22546. Wait with wait_for_module_promise there. It is wait_for_promise plus one stop condition: a fatal error counted during the wait. Both share one loop. Run::start also skips its post-load GC and tick after a fatal error, because that tick resumed the await when its wakeup was already queued from another thread. Watch mode counts errors too and keeps going, so has_fatal_error() is false there. Fixes #22546

…iter test Under bun --print a pending result promise gets one more loop turn. After a fatal error that turn resumed the top-level await. Print the promise as it is then. The HTMLRewriter test for a detached rejection expected the top-level await to finish after the fatal error (BODY printed, then exit 1). Split it: with no listener the error is fatal at once, and with an unhandledRejection listener the rewrite still succeeds.

…fatal-error-ends-entry
response-bodies-of-disposed-graphs.mjs reads the body of a Response that a disposed graph was given. The promise rejects, and the fixture only peeks at its status at the end. The rejection was unhandled during the entry's top-level await, so the run now ends there. The host attaches a handler to the promise it expects to reject.
…fatal-error-ends-entry
The script awaited one 50ms timer after a 1ms timer that throws. When the first timer drain comes 49ms late, both timers are due in that one drain, the module resumes, and the test sees "after" and "5". Let the callback that throws arm the timer the module waits for. That timer cannot be due in the drain that runs the callback. The extra loop turn that --print gives a pending result still fires it, so the test fails without the guard in Run::start. Also say why the --preload control pins only the start of the entry.
…ng cut short Both gates in Run::start asked has_fatal_error(), which is true for any error counted in the run. The entry's wait counts only the errors during the wait, so that an error a --preload left behind lets the entry run. The gates did not agree with that: with such a preload, a pending result of --print lost its extra turn and printed as a pending promise, where main prints its value. Run::start now records that load_entry_point returned with the entry promise pending after a fatal error, and both gates use that. Tests: the queued-wakeup case waits until the event loop reports a queued concurrent task and prints that it saw one, so it cannot pass without its precondition. A new --print case covers the preload error.
The case ran main's own path for a pending --print result after an error, and that path is not stable enough to pin here: - The extra loop turn does not wait for a 10ms timer on macOS and Windows, so the result prints as a pending promise there. - The reaction that prints the result exits without the VM teardown. With the ASAN lane's options LeakSanitizer then reports a source map and aborts (exit 134). Both happen on main without this branch.

I reviewed this push and found no bugs, but a maintainer should still weigh it: it changes a user-visible run-loop semantic (an error that Bun-native code reports, such as reportError() or a throw in a Bun.serve handler, now ends a process parked on a top-level await), and the description frames it as a stopgap that #34661 supersedes, so when to land it is a judgment call.
What was reviewed:
wait_for_promise->wait_for_promise_impl::<false>: the early non-pending return and the innerauto_tickgate reduce to the same conditions as before, so the generic wait is behavior-preserving.entry_cut_shortnow requires the entry promise to still be pending, which makes it equivalent to the wait's "counted since the entry started" rule; the earlier preload concern no longer applies.- The last commit dropped the only test that exercised the
--printpending-result turn, so theentry_cut_shortqualifier in that arm (versus a barehas_fatal_error()) is no longer pinned, and the description's "checks that each clause is needed" bullet still cites that deleted test.
Extended reasoning...
The change touches src/jsc/event_loop.rs, src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs and src/runtime/cli/run_command.rs to stop the entry module's top-level-await wait once an unhandled error is counted outside watch mode, and gates the post-load GC tick and the --print extra turn on that cut-short state; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The refactor of the generic wait is behavior-preserving on inspection, and the new tests cover exception, rejection, listeners, --unhandled-rejections=warn, --preload and --print. What decided defer over approve is that this is a core run-loop semantics change the author explicitly calls a stopgap against an open redesign (#34661), it flips expectations in an existing html-rewriter test, and the latest commit removed the sole test of the --print pending-result path that the description still cites as proof the entry_cut_short qualifier is needed. No CODEOWNERS entry covers the changed files, and no third-party CHANGES_REQUESTED review is outstanding.

Fixes #22546. Re-lands #34627 (closed as stale). Stopgap on today's error-counter model: #34661 makes the fatal report exit, and then only these tests matter.
Problem
awaitdoes not end the process. Bun printserror: oops, runs the module to its end, then exits 1 (never, with thewhile (true)of Top level await causes promise rejections insideglobal.setTimeoutto be ignored, allowing execution to continue #22546). Node and Deno exit at the error. So does Bun for the same code in an async function.load_entry_point(src/jsc/VirtualMachine.rs:3757) waits with the genericEventLoop::wait_for_promise, which never readsunhandled_error_counter. The run loop inRun::startdoes, throughis_event_loop_alive().Fix

Both resumed the await.beforeExit,exitlisteners, exit code 1.test/js/bun/spawn/exit-code.test.ts, 10 new tests. Main without the fix fails 6, the other 4 are controls. Two existing tests relied on the old behavior and are updated (see Notes). Self-reviewed: 10 concerns raised, all addressed.Background
awaitcompletes.bun runticks the event loop until then, before its run loop.unhandled_error_counter: the VM adds one when an error reaches the top and nothing handles it.is_event_loop_alive()is false while it is nonzero.has_fatal_error()is false there.Notes
Behavior change to know about. On main, every error that reaches
uncaught_exception()with no handler adds to the counter, also the ones that Bun-native callers report (reportError(), a throw in aBun.servewebsocket handler). Without a top-level await such an error ends the process today (exit 1). With a pending top-level await at the entry (for exampleawait new Promise(() => {})afterBun.serve(...)) the process survived, because the wait did not read the counter. With this PR the two shapes behave the same: the process ends. #34661 is the change that makes those reports keep the process alive in both shapes.Before and after (Linux x64, node v26.3.0, bun 1.4.3-canary.1, this branch as a debug build):

A
--preloadcan leave an error that is counted in the last tick of its own wait (the last row). The entry's wait then starts with the counter at 1. An absolute check made that wait return at once, before the entry module was even evaluated: nothing printedentry, which neither Node nor 1.4.3 does. The wait therefore remembers the counter at its start and stops only when it grows. The two gates inRun::startfollow the same rule. They act only whenload_entry_pointreturned with the entry promise still pending after a fatal error (entry_cut_short), so an error that a preload left behind does not reach them.Sites with the same wait that this PR does not change:
load_entry_point: watch mode survives errors, andRun::startkeeps ticking there throughtick_possibly_forever().load_preloads(src/runtime/jsc_hooks.rs): a--preloadwith a top-level await also runs to its end after a fatal error, and the entry loads after it. To stop there,load_preloadsmust hand its caller a promise that is still pending, andload_entry_pointmust not wait on that promise again. That needsreload_entry_pointto tell its three callers which kind of promise it returns. An earlier revision of this branch did it without that and over-reached (see above), so it is left out.

The worker's own loop stops on the counter.What stays different from Node after this PR:
exitlisteners get code 0 andprocess.exitCodeisundefinedwhen an unhandled rejection ends the process (with or without a top-level await). bun run: decide the exit code of a printed error before 'exit' listeners run #38116 and Report a loop turn's rejections before the loop-alive check, and keep the exit code when an 'exit' listener throws #42032 own that.is_event_loop_alive()stays true while immediates are queued.

So this is the timer drain, not the wait. domain: route fs callback throws to uncaughtException, unblocking 4 tests (domain 88%→96%) #34661 ends the run at the error report, which closes this case too.bun --print, when a fatal error cut the entry's await short, the result prints asPromise { <pending> }. bun --print: remove the exiting reactions and the extra loop turn for a pending result #39175 rewrites that block and has a similar guard.bun --printwith a result that is still a pending promise exits 0 after an unhandled rejection was reported, where the same script without--printexits 1. The reaction that prints the result exits withexit_handler.exit_code, and a rejection does not set it.

It is the path of main for a pending--printresult after an error, and that path is not stable: on macOS and Windows its one extra turn does not wait for the 10 ms timer (main prints a pending promise there), and its reaction exits without the VM teardown, so the ASAN lane aborts on a LeakSanitizer report (exit 134, on main too). bun --print: remove the exiting reactions and the extra loop turn for a pending result #39175 rewrites that path.--printtest arms the awaited timer from the callback that throws.
