Bun v0.0.55

[Jarred-Sumner]

This release is mostly just bug fixes.

CommonJS <> ESM interop reliability improvements

Bun now preserves live bindings when referencing bundled code. This fixes a number of subtle bugs in different packages.

This also updates the preferred extension order depending on how code is imported. Previously, .mjs files were ignored and that was silly. Now, when you use import, Bun will attempt to load .mjs or .mts before trying .js or .cjs

// CommonJS or `require`, `require.resolve`
// configurable via --extension-order CLI flag
pub const ExtensionOrder = [_]string{
    ".tsx",
    ".ts",
    ".jsx",
    ".cts",
    ".cjs",
    ".js",
    ".mjs",
    ".mts",
    ".json",
};

// ES Modules or `import`
pub const ModuleExtensionOrder = [_]string{
    ".tsx",
    ".jsx",
    ".mts",
    ".ts",
    ".mjs",
    ".js",
    ".cts",
    ".cjs",
    ".json",
};

Template literal parsing bug

Before, this code caused an assertion failure in Bun's JavaScript parser due to function being defined in the template tag:

import styled from 'styled-components'

export const HoverableBox = styled.div.attrs<{
  disabled?: boolean
}>(({ disabled }) => ({
  cursor: disabled ? undefined : 'pointer',
}))<{ disabled?: boolean }>`
  ${({ disabled }) => (disabled ? 'pointer-events: none;' : '')}
`

The problem was related to when scopes for template literal tags were visited. This has been fixed.

try & require()

Previously, this code would produce a build error:

try {
  require("this-package-should-not-exist");
} catch (exception) {}

try {
  await import("this-package-should-not-exist");
} catch (exception) {}

import("this-package-should-not-exist").then(
  () => {},
  () => {}
);

In each of these cases, errors are caught at runtime, so it should not produce a build error.

Top-level await is now enabled

Top-level await will no longer error when targeting browsers, however you should know that since Bun does not transpile for backwards compatibility, you will need to be sure it is safe to use in the target environment.

Using module.exports with top-level await is undefined behavior

This discussion was created from the release Bun v0.0.55.

Note for Archlinux user: somehow Archlinux still stuck on glibc 2.33 so you need to build glibc by yourself or compile bun on your machine.

[Jarred-Sumner]

can you give this version a try and let me know if it still reports an issue?

It works! No issue so far.
