Summary

When Bun.write receives a new Response(req.body) (a locked body with an available ReadableStream), it waited for onReceiveValue which never fires — causing an infinite hang. This fix detects when the body already has a readable stream and pipes it directly to the file.

Additional fixes in this PR:

  • Windows support: Added makeLibUVOwnedForSyscall to convert the fd from bun.sys.open to a libuv-owned fd, fixing an assertion crash on Windows
  • Assertion removal: Removed bun.assert(!signal.isDead()) which fires when readStreamIntoSink completes synchronously (stream fully consumed via sink.end() without $startDirectStream being called)
  • Correct byte count: Return actual file_sink.written instead of hardcoded 0
  • Memory leak fix: Call deinit() instead of sink.deref() in the reject handler to properly clean up all resources
  • File truncation: Added O_TRUNC flag so overwriting a file via Response stream replaces content completely

Root Cause

In Blob.writeFileInternal, when the source is a Response or Request with a .Locked body value, the code registered a WriteFileWaitFromLockedValueTask callback on onReceiveValue. But for new Response(req.body), the body is already locked with a readable stream available — no entity will ever call resolve() to trigger onReceiveValue, so Bun.write hangs forever.

Test Plan

  • test/regression/issue/13237.test.ts — 4 test cases covering:
    1. Bun.write(file, new Response(req.body)) in a server handler
    2. Bun.write(file, new Response(readableStream)) standalone
    3. Bun.write(file, new Response(req.body)) after accessing req.body
    4. Overwriting a larger file with a smaller one (O_TRUNC)
  • Tests run on all platforms including Windows (no skip)
  • Verified: USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 → 4 fail (timeout), bun bd test → 4 pass

Closes #13237


Verification (d627ffc): CI green — all individual test shards passed (darwin-14-x64 and windows-11-aarch64 passed on retry, all 20 ASAN shards passed). Test proof confirmed: baked binary (main) 4/4 timeout FAIL; PR binary 4/4 PASS (3.29s). No unresolved review threads. No TODO/FIXME in diff. Ready for human review.

Walkthrough

Pipes ReadableStream bodies directly into destination blobs, returns actual written byte counts, refines error and deinit paths for stream rejection, adds O_TRUNC for path opens, adjusts FileSink flag composition for truncate, and adds regression tests covering Response/ReadableStream write scenarios.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Blob stream & write path
src/bun.js/webcore/Blob.zig
Detects when body is a ReadableStream (e.g., Response(req.body) / Request(..., { body })) and pipes it directly to the destination via pipeReadableStreamToBlob with disturbed/locked checks, bypassing prior onReceiveValue flow. Improved error propagation and return of actual written byte counts.
Stream resolve/reject adjustments
src/bun.js/webcore/Blob.zig
onFileStreamResolveRequestStream resolves with this.sink.written; onFileStreamRejectRequestStream uses deinit for cleanup while preserving error propagation.
pipeReadableStreamToBlob internals
src/bun.js/webcore/Blob.zig
Adds O_TRUNC for path-based opens, improves error paths to reject with path context, and ensures all successful paths return the number of bytes written instead of 0. Notes synchronous completion race where signals may be dead are documented.
File sink flags
src/bun.js/webcore/FileSink.zig
Changes FileSink.Options.flags to build flags in a local mask and include TRUNC only when truncate is true (previously always included).
Regression tests
test/regression/issue/13237.test.ts
Adds four tests verifying Bun.write behavior with new Response(req.body), ReadableStream bodies, request-body handling inside fetch, and overwrite/truncate semantics; checks returned byte counts and file contents.
🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4
✅ Passed checks (4 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title check ✅ Passed The title clearly summarizes the main fix: resolving an indefinite hang when Bun.write is called with new Response(req.body).
Linked Issues check ✅ Passed The PR directly addresses issue #13237 by fixing the hang when Bun.write receives new Response(req.body), implementing direct stream piping, and providing comprehensive regression tests across all platforms.
Out of Scope Changes check ✅ Passed All changes directly address the root cause and related issues: stream piping logic, byte count reporting, Windows fd conversion, assertion removal for synchronous completion, memory cleanup, and file truncation—all within scope of fixing the hang.
Description check ✅ Passed The PR description provides a clear summary of the problem, root cause, solution, additional fixes, test coverage, and verification steps following the template structure.

✏️ Tip: You can configure your own custom pre-merge checks in the settings.

corrected semantics: capture the result of Bun.write in the blocks where
Response(req.body) is written (the occurrences using Bun.write with outFile and
new Response(req.body)) and add assertions that the returned number equals the
expected number of bytes written (e.g., the length of req.body or
expectedBuffer.byteLength); apply the same change to the other Bun.write
occurrences with Response(req.body) in this file so each write call has a
matching byte-count assertion.

✅ All gates pass on 924fb9d (build #39653).

CI: 55/55 test suites green. 3 failures are infra flakes present on all recent merged PRs (buildkite/bun rollup, upload-benchmark.mjs, linux-aarch64-musl-build-cpp — confirmed on #28089, #28085, #28084, #28082, #28076).

Classification: Bug fix (infinite hang in Bun.write with locked Response/Request bodies).

Test proof:

  • Baked binary (main): all 4 new tests in test/regression/issue/13237.test.ts fail (hang → timeout). ✅
  • PR binary (debug): all 4 tests pass. ✅
  • PR binary (release): all 4 tests pass. ✅

Diff: Fix correctly addresses root cause — locked body streams were never piped to the destination blob. No TODOs/FIXMEs in added lines. O_TRUNC added to FileSink.Options.flags() and overwrite test uses ReadableStream-backed Response to exercise the piped path.

Bot threads: 6/6 resolved (coderabbit nitpicks addressed, claude[bot] findings triaged — pre-existing limitations noted, not regressions).

Reviewer requested: @cirospaciari

Awaiting human review to merge.

claude added 4 commits March 16, 2026 01:48
When writing a locked Response or Request body that already has an
available ReadableStream (e.g. `new Response(req.body)`), pipe it
directly to the file instead of waiting for `onReceiveValue` which
never fires because there is no entity that will call `resolve()`.

Also fixes:
- Windows fd conversion via makeLibUVOwnedForSyscall for open syscall
- Assertion failure when readStreamIntoSink completes synchronously
- Return actual bytes written instead of hardcoded 0
- Memory leak in reject handler (deinit vs deref)

Closes #13237
Address CodeRabbit review feedback by verifying that Bun.write
returns the correct number of bytes written, not just that the
file contents are correct.
pipeReadableStreamToBlob opened files without O_TRUNC, so overwriting a
longer file with shorter content left stale trailing bytes — silent data
corruption.

- Windows path in Blob.zig: add bun.O.TRUNC to the open flags
- Non-Windows path: fix FileSink.Options.flags() to respect the truncate
  field instead of ignoring it (was dead code: `_ = this;`)
- Add regression test: write 1000 bytes then overwrite with 100 bytes,
  verify file contains only the 100 bytes
The overwrite test was using string-bodied Responses which go through
the synchronous write path (already had O_TRUNC). Switch to
ReadableStream-backed Responses so the test exercises the
pipeReadableStreamToBlob code path where the O_TRUNC fix was applied.
