bun test: report a failed matcher at once when its promise only passes the rejection on - #47780
Draft: do not merge. A self-review found cases in which this revision is worse than main. See "Known defects" and "Plan" in the Notes. The replacement needs #47731 first, and a ruling on one rule of main.
Problem
An un-awaited matcher that fails passes its own test and fails the next one. It needs .finally() or .then(f) on its promise. With --retry the run exits 0. bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 caused this, before any release.
ExpectDeferred::run_again (src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:716) reports the failure only when the promise has no reaction. .finally() is one, and it passes the rejection on.
Fix
When a matcher fails, the runner reads the reactions on its promise. If none can handle a rejection, it reports the failure at once.
Those reactions still reject their own promises with that error. The runner takes that rejection. Any other rejection stays unhandled.
Self-reviewed: 52 concerns raised on a larger version. 24 fixed, 6 stated, 19 left with the removed part, 3 rejected (Notes).
Verified: test/js/bun/test/expect-deferred.test.ts, 21 of 78 cases fail on main. Also test/js/bun/test/, test/cli/test/.
Background
A matcher that waits returns a promise, and its test waits for that promise.
A reaction is what .then(), .catch(), .finally() or await put on a promise. .finally(f) and .then(f) cannot handle a rejection.
A handler added to the promise of .finally() after the matcher failed no longer saves the test. On main and in Jest it can. Bun 1.4.3 fails such a test.
A failed matcher with a reaction costs 104 more instructions. Release .text grows by 2,048 bytes.
Not fixed: a .catch() that throws the error again still fails the next test.
Notes
Known defects of this revision
Each one is from a run of a debug build of this branch and a debug build of main.
A test returns the chain, and the matcher fails in the microtasks of the test function. The error is reported twice. With an async .finally() callback the second report is an error between tests, so a passing test.failing test makes the run exit 1.
test.concurrent.failing with await null; return matcher gives an error between tests and exit 1. main exits 0.
A Bun.serve fetch handler returns matcher.then(() => new Response("ok")). The next test fails with the same error. main fails only the calling test.
A "vitest" file, a settled subject, and an async helper that returns matcher.finally(f): try { await helper() } catch {} and await expect(helper()).rejects.toThrow() fail. main passes them.
A second matcher whose rejection ends at the same promise is not reported. With --retry=1 the run exits 0. main exits 1.
The cause is the moment of the decision. This revision decides when the matcher fails. A reaction that takes the rejection can arrive later in the same turn of microtasks. Examples are the runner's own reaction on a returned promise, the link from an async function's promise, and a server that reads the promise of its handler after its drain. main decides when the microtasks have run, and only charges the wrong test.
An attempt to settle such a failure after the runner has the result of the callback was dropped. With it, a floating await matcher some microtasks later passed its test and failed the next one.
Plan
The replacement does not decide when the matcher fails.
The matcher's promise is rejected as on main, and the runner reports nothing at that moment.
The test or hook that called the matcher stays open until the promises at the end of the .finally() / .then(f) chain have settled. The walk in this PR stays, but only to find those promises. If it misreads a chain, the result is the result of main.
Not in that plan: a rejection that a handler throws again later (.catch(error => { throw error; }), an await in an async function that nothing awaits).
ExpectDeferred::give_up has the same check. On main a matcher that never settles gets no report when .finally() is on its promise. The run exits 0.
Which reactions cannot handle a rejection
The walk (onlyPassesRejectionOn in src/jsc/bindings/ExpectDeferred.cpp) follows each reaction to the promise that it settles. It stops at promises with no reaction. These reactions only pass a rejection on:
.finally(f), .then(f), and .then() with no function.
A promise that was resolved with the matcher's promise: return matcher in an async function, or resolve(matcher).
.finally(() => matcher) on another promise.
Every other reaction can handle the rejection: .catch(f), .then(f, g), await, Promise.all. So can the runner's own reaction on a promise that the test returned.
A promise that is marked as handled and has no reaction yet is left alone. expect(matcher).rejects marks the promise first and reacts one microtask later.
The walk is a loop with a list of promises to read, so a chain can have any length. A promise that two reactions lead to makes the answer "can handle".
JSC keeps a single reaction inline in the promise. It keeps a list for more than one, and when an async context is set. AsyncLocalStorage and --isolate=modules set one. The walk reads both forms with the accessors that JSPromise::forEachPendingReaction uses.
The rejections at the end of the reactions
After the report, matcher.finally(f) still rejects the promise that it returned. On main that rejection failed the next test.
The runner puts one reaction on each such promise. Then it clears the handled flag of the promise again, so this reaction does not count as a handler. If the promise rejects with the matcher's error, the reaction marks the promise as handled. A .catch() that user code adds at that moment does the same. If the promise rejects with another value, nothing changes. That rejection is reported like any other, unless user code handles it.
A .finally() callback can throw the matcher's own error object again. That gives the promise the same rejection as a callback that returns, so the runner takes it too. The error is reported once, for the test that called the matcher.
When the test ends
On main the passed-on rejection ended a test whose function still ran, as any unhandled rejection does. The report does the same. So matcher.then(() => done()) fails after 9 ms and does not wait for the timeout.
A hook is not cut short. A matcher with no reaction does not end its test early, as before.
main passes this test if closeServer() still runs when the handler is added. It also passes if the handler is added in the turn in which the matcher failed. Without .finally() the same test fails on main. Bun 1.4.3 fails both. Jest 30.5.2 gives the results of main. Vitest 5.0.3 passes both, and fails the first one if afterEach adds the handler.
A .finally() callback throws, and the test handles that error. On main the matcher's failure is lost and the test passes. Now the test fails with the matcher's error.
A test from "vitest" with a process listener for unhandledRejection: the listener no longer gets this rejection. The runner reports the failure, as it does for a matcher with no reaction.
test.failing, test.fails, and test.todo under --todo take the failure as the failure of the test. On main it was an error between tests.
Same result as main
A reaction that can handle the rejection but passes it on. Examples are .catch(error => { throw error; }) and an await in an async function that nothing awaits.
A reaction that is added after the matcher has failed.
What a .finally() callback throws. It can fail the next test, as any rejection that a test leaves behind.
#47731 reports the rejected promises of a test when the test ends. For serial tests that covers the first and the third case. This PR shares no file with it.

Tests
expect-deferred.test.ts: 21 of the 78 cases fail on a debug build of main.
The cases cover each reaction form above and every matcher that waits. They run in hooks, test.failing, done, retry, --todo, concurrent tests and outside a test.
Other cases use an error that user code threw inside the matcher. The values are an Error, a string, null, undefined, and one error object in several tests. These run with --isolate and --isolate=modules too.
One case holds the reactions that can handle a rejection, so that the walk does not take them.
The file passes 3 of 3 runs with BUN_GARBAGE_COLLECTOR_LEVEL=1, which CI sets.
test/cli/test/test-aot.test.ts has one new case, because code from --aot writes reactions with its own stubs.
20 single-clause mutations of the first revision: 19 make a test fail. The other one removes the call that tells the rejection tracker about the handled promise. The tracker skips handled promises anyway when it reports.
Self-review, rejected
The Vitest rule for a matcher that is still pending when the test returns, with a reaction that can handle. That is a follow-up.
The larger version also recorded each matcher error. It claimed a later unhandled rejection with that error for the calling test. That part covers .catch(rethrow) and un-awaited async functions. It overlaps #47731, so it waits for the decision there.
Status: draft. This revision decides too early, and the PR description lists the cases in which it is worse than main. The replacement keeps the calling test open until the passed-on rejection has landed. It needs #47731 first.
How I reproduced it: I ran the file from the PR description on a debug build of main (129f3c7).
main prints (pass) a, (fail) b. With --retry=1 it exits 0.
This PR prints (fail) a, (pass) b, and exits 1.
test/js/bun/test/expect-deferred.test.ts has 78 cases. All pass with this PR. 21 of them fail on main.
The test runner now classifies matcher rejections as unhandled, passed through, or potentially handled. It tracks forwarded rejections and reports matcher failures against their tests. New tests cover promise handling patterns and test lifecycle cases.
JSC helpers inspect rejection-forwarding paths, watch terminal promises, and mark rejected promises handled. The runtime binding exposes the onCopy callback.
The runner classifies matcher promise reactions and updates held-entry release behavior. For rejection pass-through, it watches copied rejections and can report a failure while ending the test.
Tests cover forwarded matcher failures, handled rejections, failure attribution, timeouts, test lifecycle cases, and AOT parity.

Explanation
The description is a draft that is detailed and mostly complete, and it covers the problem, fix, verification, and risks, so it does not fail. It does not follow the repository template exactly. It has no "What does this PR do?" heading and no "How did you verify your code works?" heading. The content for both sections is present under other headings ("Problem", "Fix", "Background", "Downsides", "Tests", "Measurements"). The description also says the PR is a draft and not for merge, and it lists known defects and a replacement plan, so the author's intent is clear. Several claims point to external issues and comments, and some numbers are inconsistent with the PR objectives: the description says 78 cases with 21 failing on main, while the objectives say 77 cases with 20 failing on main. The description is also long and mostly reads as a self-review log, not a template-shaped summary.

Handle reaction chains deeper than 32 links.
onlyPassesRejectionOn returns false at depth > 32. Reaction::of then classifies a failing un-awaited matcher as MayHandle, so the runner does not report it at once. The rejection can surface later as an unhandled rejection and fail another test.
The base revision has no reaction classification, so this case is not new. The PR does not fix it, and no safe edit is established, so none is proposed.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the two new C++ entry points that run without a throw scope: ExpectDeferred__watchCopies only appends a reaction with a native bound function via performPromiseThenWithContext (no user JS runs synchronously), and ExpectDeferred__markHandled reaches the Handle arm of promiseRejectionTracker (ZigGlobalObject.cpp:1613), which only drops the promise from the pending list or queues the rejectionHandled event — so neither has an exception-check gap.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a JSC promise-reaction-chain walk in src/jsc/bindings/ExpectDeferred.cpp and a Reaction classification plus an ends_test flag in src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs, with a large new test file; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Two confirmed findings are posted inline, so a human look is already signalled; this note only records the throw-scope concern that was examined and ruled out.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
🟡 (optional) A matcher the test runs inside a .finally() callback of a failed matcher is now abandoned and its result never reported; on the base branch the test waited for it. At src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:766 release(..., ends_test=true) ends the test entry at once, and the step that follows the microtask drain advances past it because maybe_skip is set. The second matcher, created in that same drain, is held by the now-ended entry, so run_again abandons it with the ended error; the .finally() result promise rejects with that ended error and is_ended_error drops it. Fix: when the failure is PassesOn, keep waiting for matchers the ended test still holds (do not end the entry while pending_matchers > 0), or report matchers abandoned this way instead of dropping them as ended errors.
Why this was flagged
Trigger: test("x", () => { expect(later(1)).resolves.toBe(2).finally(() => expect(cleanup()).resolves.toBe(true)); }) where the callback's own matcher is returned or awaited. The first matcher fails; at src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:748 it is PassesOn, release at :766 ends the test entry and run_next_tick queues the step. Microtasks drain first, so the finally callback runs while the entry is still active and its matcher is held by that entry. The step then runs: waits_for_matchers at src/runtime/test_runner/Execution.rs:508 is false because handle_uncaught_exception set maybe_skip (Execution.rs:932). When the second matcher's promise settles, run_again finds held.is_running() false and abandons it with the ended error; the finally result promise rejects with that error and on_unhandled_rejection drops it at src/runtime/test_runner/jest.rs:649. On the base branch release(None) left maybe_skip false, and the second matcher ran and reported normally. Users lose the second failure's message and any cleanup after that await is cut short by the ended error.
Verification: In src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:748-767 a failed matcher whose promise is PassesOn calls held.release(global, Some(error), true), which in Execution.rs:932 sets sequence.maybe_skip = true. settle_ended (expect_deferred.rs:851-869) abandons the second matcher. On the base run_again took the held.release(global, None) branch without setting maybe_skip.

Not changed in this push. This is the rule that main has for a test that has failed.
The report sets maybe_skip, so the test stops waiting. A matcher that it still holds then gets "The test that called this matcher has ended".
main gives a matcher with no reaction the same result when another callback of the same promise calls a matcher in those microtasks.
The new row "a matcher that the test calls after the failure belongs to a test that has ended" runs both forms. On main only the .finally() form differs.
The cost that you name is real: the code after that await in the callback does not run. The PR is a draft now, and the rework decides this point again.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I also checked the ? on the bind(...) call at src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:758 as a path that could drop the held entry without settling the matcher promise — Bun__JSValue__bind only throws for a non-callable target (the private onCopy function is always callable) or a VM termination, which run_again already propagates on every other arm, so it is not a reachable hang.
Extended reasoning...
The diff adds a JSC promise-reaction walk in src/jsc/bindings/ExpectDeferred.cpp and a Reaction classification plus onCopy/watchCopies wiring in src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs, with test coverage in test/js/bun/test/expect-deferred.test.ts and test/cli/test/test-aot.test.ts; no security-sensitive surface. One confirmed finding is posted inline; the bind error path was examined and ruled out because the only throw sources are a non-callable target or termination.

🟡 (optional) A test that returns a .finally()-chained matcher whose promise settles during the test's own microtask drain now gets its failure reported a second time, as # Unhandled error between tests when the finally callback is async. At src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:762 ends_running_test ends the test before run_test_callback (bun_test.rs:1479) has attached the runner's then/catch to the returned chain, so the walk never saw that reaction and the later catch arrives with an outdated phase. Fix: a rejection the runner's own reaction receives for a test that release() already failed with the same error must not be reported again. On the base branch the test waited for the chain and the error printed once.
Why this was flagged
Trigger: test("x", () => expect(Promise.resolve(1)).resolves.toBe(2).finally(async () => { await later(5); })), i.e. the matcher's awaited promise settles in the microtasks that run_callback_with_result_and_forcefully_drain_microtasks drains at src/runtime/test_runner/bun_test.rs:1384. During that drain run_again walks the chain: the finally result promise P has no reaction yet, so Reaction::of is PassesOn and src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:762 calls release(Some(error), true), which prints the failure for test A, sets maybe_skip and queues A's entry at expect_deferred.rs:289-290. 5 ms later P rejects with the matcher error and bun_test_then_or_catch at bun_test.rs:957 calls on_uncaught_exception with A's outdated phase; handle_uncaught_exception at Execution.rs:927-929 returns ShowUnhandledErrorBetweenTests, so bun_test.rs:1638-1641 prints # Unhandled error between tests and bumps unhandled_errors_between_tests while test B runs. On the base branch the matcher promise was isHandled, run_again took the plain reject path, the test waited for P and the runner's catch reported the error exactly once as A's failure.
Verification: On main the second print for a returned no-reaction matcher is a second report under the same test (bun_test.rs:1495-1499 with a still-valid entry), and for a returned .finally(async f) chain main prints the error exactly once. After this PR the second report is a # Unhandled error between tests that increments unhandled_errors_between_tests, which main never does here.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Confirmed on a debug build of this branch and of main. The same cause has more effects than the second print:
A passing test.failing test that returns the chain makes the run exit 1.
test.concurrent.failing with await null; return matcher gives an error between tests and exit 1.
A Bun.serve handler that returns matcher.then(...) fails the next test too.
It is not fixed in this push. I tried to settle such a failure after the runner has the result of the callback. A self-review rejected that change. With it, a floating await matcher some microtasks later passed its own test and failed the next one, and the run exited 0 under --retry=1.
The PR is a draft now. The description lists the known defects. The rework has to move the decision to a moment at which those reactions exist.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: a failed un-awaited matcher wrapped in Promise.all([...]) or Promise.race([...]) with nothing on the result still passes its own test and fails the next one, and with --retry the run exits 0. The combinator's reaction on the matcher's promise only forwards the rejection to the combined promise, but passesRejectionOnTo at src/jsc/bindings/ExpectDeferred.cpp:78-79 returns nullptr for its internal microtask, so Reaction::of yields MayHandle and run_again rejects normally. Fix: treat a combinator element reaction whose combined promise is still pending as passing on, following the result promise held in its JSPromiseCombinatorsGlobalContext so that promise is walked like a .then(f) result; Promise.allSettled and Promise.any do not forward the reason and stay MayHandle. A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.
Why this was flagged
Trigger: test("a", () => { Promise.all([expect(later(1)).resolves.toBe(2), expect(later(1)).resolves.toBe(1)]); }); test("b", () => {}); where the await on Promise.all was forgotten; also Promise.race. Promise.all attaches an internal-microtask reaction to each element whose context is a JSPromiseCombinatorsGlobalContext. In onlyPassesRejectionOn at src/jsc/bindings/ExpectDeferred.cpp:108-114 that reaction reaches passesRejectionOnTo, which hits default: return nullptr at :78-79, so readLater(nullptr) returns false and Reaction::of at src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:93-96 reports MayHandle. run_again then takes the held => arm at expect_deferred.rs:765-769 and rejects the matcher promise without reporting. The combined promise rejects with the same error one microtask later and nothing handles it, so it surfaces as an unhandled rejection against whatever test runs then: test a passes, test b fails, and with --retry=1 the run exits 0. The base branch behaves the same way for this shape; the PR fixes .finally(f), .then(f) and resolve-with-promise but leaves the combinator forwarders.
Verification: pre-existing. In src/jsc/bindings/ExpectDeferred.cpp, passesRejectionOnTo (lines 66-81) only maps three finally/resolve jobs; every other internal-microtask task hits default: return nullptr; (lines 78-79). In src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs Reaction::of (lines 90-98) then yields MayHandle, so run_again takes the held => arm (lines 764-769). The base branch fails the same way by the same route.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Confirmed as the same on main and on this branch, so it is not changed here.
Promise.race([matcher]) with nothing on the result: the calling test passes and the next test fails, on both builds.
Promise.all([failing, passing]) failed the calling test on both builds in my run. That test still waits for the second matcher when the rejection is reported.
The PR is a draft. Its rework decides which reactions the runner follows, and this shape is on that list.
A note for the plan of this PR: #47731 changed in b66a81f. It no longer adds a report of rejected promises before the runner leaves an entry. It now only keeps the runner on the entry while a rejected promise waits for the report of the event loop.
@Jarred-Sumner A question about a rule from #44833. The plan for this PR depends on the answer, and #48107 needs the same answer.
The rule on main. An unhandled rejection that arrives in a hook, or in a test.failing / test.fails test, is an error between tests. The code is jest::on_unhandled_rejection (src/runtime/test_runner/jest.rs:700). Its comment says: "An expected failure has to come from the test's own callback, not from a stray rejection". docs/test/writing-tests.mdx:259 and test/js/bun/test/test-test.test.ts:849 hold the same rule.
The case. A deferred matcher can fail with no reaction on its promise. Then the runner charges the test or hook that called it (RunningEntry::release). With .then(() => {}) on its promise, the failure arrives as an unhandled rejection of the promise that .then() returned. That rejection carries the matcher's error, but the rule above treats it as a stray one.
These are runs of a debug build of main (2596ac5). later is (v, ms = 1) => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms, v)).
test file
matcher with no reaction
matcher with .then(() => {})
test.failing("t", () => { expect(later(1)).resolves.toBe(2) }), then a test next
# Unhandled error between tests, the error, (fail) t, 1 error
Questions.
An unhandled rejection carries the error of a failed matcher. Is it charged to the test or hook that called the matcher? That is what happens with no reaction. The runner would know it from a record of that error for that entry and attempt.
If yes: can it be the expected failure of a test.failing / test.fails test? That applies when the callback of that test called the matcher (rows 1 and 2). A matcher that a hook called stays the failure of the hook (row 3), as with no reaction.
If the answer to 1 is no, these rejections keep the rule of main. I then change the plan in the description.

Draft: do not merge. A self-review found cases in which this revision is worse than main. See "Known defects" and "Plan" in the Notes. The replacement needs #47731 first, and a ruling on one rule of main.
Problem
.finally()or.then(f)on its promise. With--retrythe run exits 0. bun test: Vitest compatibility #44833 caused this, before any release.ExpectDeferred::run_again(src/runtime/test_runner/expect_deferred.rs:716) reports the failure only when the promise has no reaction..finally()is one, and it passes the rejection on.Fix
test/js/bun/test/expect-deferred.test.ts, 21 of 78 cases fail on main. Alsotest/js/bun/test/,test/cli/test/.Background
.then(),.catch(),.finally()orawaitput on a promise..finally(f)and.then(f)cannot handle a rejection..finally(asyncCleanup), hooks andtest.failing.Downsides
.finally()after the matcher failed no longer saves the test. On main and in Jest it can. Bun 1.4.3 fails such a test..textgrows by 2,048 bytes..catch()that throws the error again still fails the next test.Notes
Known defects of this revision
Each one is from a run of a debug build of this branch and a debug build of main.
.finally()callback the second report is an error between tests, so a passingtest.failingtest makes the run exit 1.test.concurrent.failingwithawait null; return matchergives an error between tests and exit 1. main exits 0.Bun.servefetch handler returnsmatcher.then(() => new Response("ok")). The next test fails with the same error. main fails only the calling test."vitest"file, a settled subject, and an asynchelperthat returnsmatcher.finally(f):try { await helper() } catch {}andawait expect(helper()).rejects.toThrow()fail. main passes them.--retry=1the run exits 0. main exits 1.The cause is the moment of the decision. This revision decides when the matcher fails. A reaction that takes the rejection can arrive later in the same turn of microtasks. Examples are the runner's own reaction on a returned promise, the link from an async function's promise, and a server that reads the promise of its handler after its drain. main decides when the microtasks have run, and only charges the wrong test.
An attempt to settle such a failure after the runner has the result of the callback was dropped. With it, a floating
await matchersome microtasks later passed its test and failed the next one.Plan
The replacement does not decide when the matcher fails.
.finally()/.then(f)chain have settled. The walk in this PR stays, but only to find those promises. If it misreads a chain, the result is the result of main.test.failing/test.failstests, so it waits for a maintainer ruling: bun test: report a failed matcher at once when its promise only passes the rejection on #47780 (comment)Not in that plan: a rejection that a handler throws again later (
.catch(error => { throw error; }), anawaitin an async function that nothing awaits).Repro
--retry=1(fail) a,(pass) b(pass) a,(fail) b(fail) a,(pass) bExpectDeferred::give_uphas the same check. On main a matcher that never settles gets no report when.finally()is on its promise. The run exits 0.Which reactions cannot handle a rejection
The walk (
onlyPassesRejectionOninsrc/jsc/bindings/ExpectDeferred.cpp) follows each reaction to the promise that it settles. It stops at promises with no reaction. These reactions only pass a rejection on:.finally(f),.then(f), and.then()with no function.return matcherin an async function, orresolve(matcher)..finally(() => matcher)on another promise.Every other reaction can handle the rejection:
.catch(f),.then(f, g),await,Promise.all. So can the runner's own reaction on a promise that the test returned.A promise that is marked as handled and has no reaction yet is left alone.
expect(matcher).rejectsmarks the promise first and reacts one microtask later.The walk is a loop with a list of promises to read, so a chain can have any length. A promise that two reactions lead to makes the answer "can handle".
JSC keeps a single reaction inline in the promise. It keeps a list for more than one, and when an async context is set.
AsyncLocalStorageand--isolate=modulesset one. The walk reads both forms with the accessors thatJSPromise::forEachPendingReactionuses.The rejections at the end of the reactions
After the report,
matcher.finally(f)still rejects the promise that it returned. On main that rejection failed the next test.The runner puts one reaction on each such promise. Then it clears the handled flag of the promise again, so this reaction does not count as a handler. If the promise rejects with the matcher's error, the reaction marks the promise as handled. A
.catch()that user code adds at that moment does the same. If the promise rejects with another value, nothing changes. That rejection is reported like any other, unless user code handles it.A
.finally()callback can throw the matcher's own error object again. That gives the promise the same rejection as a callback that returns, so the runner takes it too. The error is reported once, for the test that called the matcher.When the test ends
On main the passed-on rejection ended a test whose function still ran, as any unhandled rejection does. The report does the same. So
matcher.then(() => done())fails after 9 ms and does not wait for the timeout.A hook is not cut short. A matcher with no reaction does not end its test early, as before.
Other changes in behaviour
main passes this test if
closeServer()still runs when the handler is added. It also passes if the handler is added in the turn in which the matcher failed. Without.finally()the same test fails on main. Bun 1.4.3 fails both. Jest 30.5.2 gives the results of main. Vitest 5.0.3 passes both, and fails the first one ifafterEachadds the handler..finally()callback throws, and the test handles that error. On main the matcher's failure is lost and the test passes. Now the test fails with the matcher's error."vitest"with aprocesslistener forunhandledRejection: the listener no longer gets this rejection. The runner reports the failure, as it does for a matcher with no reaction.test.failing,test.fails, andtest.todounder--todotake the failure as the failure of the test. On main it was an error between tests.Same result as main
.catch(error => { throw error; })and anawaitin an async function that nothing awaits..finally()callback throws. It can fail the next test, as any rejection that a test leaves behind.#47731 reports the rejected promises of a test when the test ends. For serial tests that covers the first and the third case. This PR shares no file with it.
