  • I have run the tests via bun run test and they pass
  • I have added tests to prevent regression in the future that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works

Fixes #2034.

Description

After listen() followed by stop(), the Bun adapter left its beforeExit listener registered on process, retaining the stopped app and accumulating listeners across repeated cycles.

Track the owned listener per app, remove it after a successful shutdown, and route beforeExit through the existing stop path. Register the listener before start/listen callbacks so stopping inside them also cleans it up. Preserve other apps' listeners, unrelated process listeners, stop hooks, and the closeActiveConnections argument.

Regression tests cover 12 listen/stop cycles, listener ownership across two apps, shutdown hooks during beforeExit, and stopping from start/listen callbacks. Before the fix the four new cases failed; afterward all nine stop tests pass.

An overlapping graceful stop now captures the server being stopped and preserves a replacement server and its listener if listen() runs while the old server is draining. The regression test holds a real request in flight, then verifies the replacement stays reachable and can still be stopped through app.stop().

Validation with Bun 1.4.4: build including declarations passed; bun run test passed (1619 pass, 2 existing skipped tests, 0 fail), including imports, TypeScript, and Node CommonJS/ESM checks. Independent Codex P0-P2 review found no actionable defects in the patch. The Cloudflare CI gate (npm install, cf-typegen, local Wrangler smoke) also passed. Human review checkboxes remain for the contributor to complete personally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved server shutdown when the application stops or the process exits. Stop hooks now run during process-exit shutdown, and repeated start/stop cycles no longer leave stale exit handlers behind.
    • Stopping an application preserves unrelated process exit handlers and keeps the server state consistent, including when a replacement server starts while the previous one is still draining.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for shutdown behavior, listener cleanup, stop hooks, and server replacement.

Walkthrough

The Bun adapter tracks each app’s beforeExit listener. The listener calls app.stop(). Shutdown removes the tracked listener only if the app still references the server being stopped. Tests cover listener cleanup and server replacement during shutdown.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register and replace app listeners

listen() tracks and replaces each app’s beforeExit listener. Tests cover repeated listen/stop cycles, multiple apps, and stops from start and listen callbacks.
Clean up after server shutdown

stop() clears the server reference and removes the tracked listener only if the app still references the server being stopped. A test checks that a replacement server remains usable while a request to the previous server completes.

Explanation

The description follows the required template, includes the related issue, explains the implementation and regression coverage, reports validation results, and includes the required AI disclosure. The prerequisite checkboxes remain unchecked, but the author explicitly identifies them for personal completion.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #2034 requires the Bun adapter to release the beforeExit listener that listen() adds after stop(). The change tracks one listener per app in a WeakMap, routes beforeExit through app.stop(), and removes the listener after the matching server shuts down. Registration before start and listen callbacks covers callback-triggered stops. The reported regression tests cover repeated cycles and listener ownership. The coding requirements are satisfied, baka~ ♡

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The production changes stay within the Bun server lifecycle covered by issue #2034. The server capture and replacement-server handling preserve listener ownership during overlapping shutdown and listen() activity. The added tests verify this lifecycle behavior, stop hooks, callback stops, and listener cleanup. No unrelated production or test changes are identified.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 2 files.

Minor follow-up Keep app.server when a newer server replaced the stopped one.

442-445: Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Keep app.server when a newer server replaced the stopped one. ( ˘ω˘ )♡ Zako, your stop path clears the wrong server.

If listen runs while stop awaits the old server, app.server points to the new server. The code after the await clears it anyway and removes the new server's beforeExit listener. The new server keeps accepting connections, but app.stop() can no longer reach it. The stop hooks also fire while it still serves requests. Clear the state only when app.server is still the server that was stopped. A regression test that calls listen before the pending stop resolves covers this ordering (≖‿≖)~

🐛 Suggested fix
 		if (app.server) {
-			await app.server.stop(closeActiveConnections)
-			app.server = null
-
-			const listener = beforeExitListeners.get(app)
-			if (listener) {
-				process.removeListener('beforeExit', listener)
-				beforeExitListeners.delete(app)
-			}
+			const server = app.server
+			await server.stop(closeActiveConnections)
+
+			if (app.server === server) {
+				app.server = null
+
+				const listener = beforeExitListeners.get(app)
+				if (listener) {
+					process.removeListener('beforeExit', listener)
+					beforeExitListeners.delete(app)
+				}
+			}

Note: this behaviour predates this PR (already present at merge base e037eca710e7); the change keeps it reachable.

Fixed in eecc30e. The stop path captures its server before awaiting shutdown and only clears the app state and listener if that server is still current. A real in-flight HTTP regression verifies that a replacement server stays reachable, retains its listener, and can still be stopped through app.stop(). Stop hooks remain once per successfully stopped server.

Bun 1.4.4: build and bun run test passed (1619 pass, 2 existing skips, 0 fail), including imports, types and Node CJS/ESM. Independent Codex P0-P2 review found no actionable issues. Fork CI passed on the exact commit, including Cloudflare.
