fix: import() options, circular reexport severity, async ESM entry and namespace import assignment - #21867
Conversation
The two jest cases are not a drain-timing problem: the abandoned rejection reaches neither unhandledRejection nor uncaughtException while the test body runs, so the runner cannot capture it at all. The two deferred-namespace cases are not blocked on unknowable exports — the call site has the module graph. Sealing the proxy target needs those names emitted at each deferred import, which costs bytes.
Both bundles pass every assertion; each drops a rejected promise by design, which jest records against the running test. The rejection is not visible through process events on the sandboxed process, but it is in jest's own state, which the environment already exposes. Assert the expected count and clear it the way rejectionHandled would, so a change in what they abandon fails instead of passing quietly.
Extensibility is only the first assertion of exotic-object-behavior; it also wants ownKeys to be the sorted exports plus @@toStringTag, so __esModule would have to go. That is the namespace-object trade-off, not defer-local.
`import()` stringifies its argument, so `import(import(...))` asks for "[object Promise]" and `import(typeof x)` for "object". webpack builds and runs both correctly and the promise rejects, which is what the spec requires and what Node.js does unbundled — the only fallout is a rejection the test abandons and jest attributes to it. Assert those alongside the two already tracked, now by reason as well as count, and drop the twelve files from knownBugs.
`import(`./${name}.js`, options)` goes through the context-dependency path,
which replaced everything after the request with `)` and so dropped the
options expression. The spec evaluates it right after the request, and it can
have side effects, so keep its source in place as a second argument the
context module ignores.
Also run the test262 suite with `output.strictModuleErrorHandling`, which is
what a Cyclic Module Record's [[EvaluationError]] asks for, and drop the three
files the two changes fix.
A comma expression spliced in bare splits into extra arguments the context module ignores; wrapping it keeps the call shape the source had.
…ma expression whole The context-dependency path passed the options as a second argument the context module ignores, which reads as if it took one and skipped the checks the spec asks for. Wrap the call the way the static-request path already does instead, with the request and the options as its two arguments so they are evaluated in that order, and share the check between the two paths. An options range excludes any parentheses the source had, so `import(req, (a, b))` split into arguments of its own and bound the check's parameter to `a`. That rejected valid code with a TypeError on the static path already.
The circular-reexport diagnostic was built off the export-presence path entirely, so it could be neither escalated nor suppressed: setting `reexportExportsPresence: "error"` still only warned, and setting it to `false" still warned. The spec makes a cycle in ResolveExport a link error, the same as the ambiguous star export next to it, which does honour the option. Keep the default as it is — a cycle warns, skipping the promotion to an error that AUTO gives a strict harmony module — but let an explicit setting say whether and how it is reported.
An entry using top-level await produces a promise the startup code kept for itself: the bundle settled before the entry did, and a rejecting entry left its rejection with no one to hand it to, so it surfaced as a process-level unhandled rejection instead of failing the bundle. Only `output.library.type: "module"` awaited it. Move that await into the generic startup, where it covers plain `output.module` too, and drop the library plugin's copy so it is still emitted once.
Both fire only where the class or the export is unused, and development observes the same as the spec either way.
It only needs a bare global reference left alone, which is what the eval cases next to it already ask for.
`import * as ns from "./x"; ns = null;` silently succeeded and left every later read of `ns` looking at the assigned value. A real ES module throws a TypeError there, and webpack already keeps that throw for a named import by bailing out of concatenation so the write still lands on the namespace's getter-only property. A namespace import is the binding itself, and nothing webpack can emit for it throws: the declaration has to stay a `var` because a runtime-condition import must be function-scoped and HMR accept reassigns it. Report it at build time instead, which is what Rollup and esbuild do.

Comparing fix/test262-defer-and-rejection (1a40677) with main (ae4b153)
Two defects a review found.
The entry await was gated on the last entry and spliced into the startup
buffer, so an earlier async entry still settled after the bundle did, and the
`await` would have been a syntax error inside the synchronous startup function
that `RuntimeGlobals.startup` renders. Capture each async entry instead and
await them after the loop, only where the startup lands at the top level of an
ESM chunk.
`isStaticStringAttributes` returned true for a key that is not `with` or
`assert`, so `import(request, { unused: effect() })` dropped `effect()`. Only
those two keys can be read at build time; anything else keeps the argument.

…s 14.8 Awaiting the entries one by one leaves the rest unobserved once one rejects, so a second failing entry became an unhandled rejection. Await them in a single `Promise.all`. The two cases need top-level await, which the runner's `vm.SourceTextModule` cannot parse before Node.js 14.8, and both fixtures now settle on a task so they fail when startup returns too early.
The option assertions matched only the message, so a change to a plain Error would have passed, and only the static request exercised the 'with' check.
The code size report grew from 3 changed assets to 9 when the await became a `Promise.all`, which every ESM bundle with one async entry pays for. A single promise has nothing to orphan, so keep the short form for it.
Awaiting an async ESM entry emits top-level await, which a target can read ESM without supporting: `target: "node14"` (added in v14.8) then produced a bundle it cannot parse. Gate the await on a new environment flag, derived from the node/deno/bun/electron/nwjs/esX presets and the browserslist data, so such targets fall back to not awaiting. Also classify the flag in the ecma-conformance helper, which needed the walk to track function nesting to tell top-level await from nested await, and drop `globalThis` from the namespace-assignment fixture so it runs on Node 10.
Chromium 85 has no top-level await, so the new environment flag makes the version ladder answer 2021. The case still shows `module: false` is ignored: without that, only the ES5 rung would match.
The topLevelAwait gate also suppressed the await `ModuleLibraryPlugin` has always emitted, so an async ESM library built for `target: "node14"` handed its consumers unsettled exports instead of values. Restore that plugin to what it was and let it own the await, gating only the startup await this branch adds.
The case had one async entry among two, so it took the single-await path and nothing exercised the `Promise.all` the multiple-entry fix added. Make both entries async and assert both settled.
…ase (#21881) * revert: hold back output.environment.topLevelAwait for the patch release The pending release is a patch, so #21867's feature half is disabled: the new `output.environment.topLevelAwait` option and the startup `await` of an async ESM entry that it gates. The option is what made the changeset minor, and the await cannot be emitted safely without it. The lib code is commented out in place with a marker so it can be reapplied after the release; the schema entry is removed instead, JSON carrying no comments, and the generated files are restored to what the generator emitted for that schema. `ModuleLibraryPlugin` still awaits a module library's entry, as it did before #21867, and the five test262 top-level-await rejection cases go back to `knownBugs`. The rest of #21867 — the `import()` options checks, the circular-reexport severity and the namespace-import assignment error — is unchanged. * chore(changeset): keep the description within 80 characters * chore: drop the commented-out held-back code for short notes Commented-out blocks broke the repository's limit of two short lines per comment in lib/ and test/. Keep one note where the absence needs explaining — the missing environment default, and the entry that is no longer awaited — and leave the implementation to the commit history: reverting this pull request restores it.
A module that fails to resolve is a build error whether or not the import is deferred, and assigning to a namespace import is one since #21867. Both were skipped as bugs; now the suite checks webpack reports them.

…ase (#21915) * revert: restore output.environment.topLevelAwait after the patch release Reverts #21881, which held back the feature half of #21867 so 5.110.3 could ship as a patch. That release is out, so the option and the startup `await` of an async ESM entry come back, together with their config cases, snapshots and conformance classifier, and the five test262 top-level-await rejection cases leave `knownBugs` again. The changeset the hold-back edited was consumed by 5.110.3, so this adds a new minor one instead. `added: 5.111.0` still matches: main is 5.110.3 with one patch changeset pending, and this minor takes the next release to 5.111.0. `schemas/WebpackOptions.check.js` is minified onto one line, so git could not merge it against #21886's schema change. It was rebuilt by applying the generator's own four insertions for this option to main's validator, then checked against the option and its neighbours. * test(module): make the multi-entry await case discriminate Both async entries resolved on a zero-delay timer, so the earlier one had already settled by the time the later one did: awaiting only the last entry passed the case. Slow the first entry down so it fails. Also shorten the comment above canAwaitEntry to the two lines lib/ allows.

##### Minor Changes
- Wrap concatenated modules in lazy `__webpack_require__.cw` accessors and inline `require()`, keeping a wrapped body's names and side effects intact.

An oversized asset names its largest modules, and an entrypoint carrying the runtime recommends `optimization.runtimeChunk`.

(by [@​alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#​21750](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21750))
- Minify CSS further, only where the document is unchanged: shorthands and box longhands, `font-weight`, `<position>` and `font-stretch` keywords, colors (polar, Lab and `hsl()` converted to hex), numbers, times, zero units, `calc()` and every math function the spec names folded over constants, selector lists, An+B, keyframe selectors, media-feature ranges, `unicode-range`, `transition` layers, `display`, transforms, gradients, font families, identical repeated declarations, and rules an identical later one makes dead. Abilities are read off the target browsers, `vendorPrefixes` adds and drops vendor prefixes for them, and `rewriteCustomProperties` shortens custom property values. Minification never changes whether a declaration parses, and beautifying keeps every rule. (by [@​alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#​21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))
- Safely minify CSS (with source maps) and HTML assets when `optimization.minimize` is enabled, unless a minimizer is already configured for them, making only transformations an engine cannot tell apart. Every rewrite is named as an option, so it can be switched off. (by [@​alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#​21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))
- Minify HTML further where the parsed document is unchanged: drop redundant quotes, whitespace nothing renders, escapes text does not need, implied tags, optional end tags nothing prints behind, empty attributes and nested empty elements; fold enumerated values and casing; normalize each attribute against the element it is on; and rewrite `style`, token lists, `srcset`, `sizes`, URL, integer and boolean attributes, viewport `content`, inline `<style>` and a JSON `<script>` body through their own grammars. Adds the `optimization.minimize.html` options `collapseWhitespace`, `mergeStyles`, `minifyConditionalComments`, `minifySrcdoc`, `preserveComments`, `removeEmptyAttributes`, `removeEmptyElements`, `removeImpliedTags`, `removeRedundantAttributes`, `sortAttributes` and `sortTokenLists`, and keeps an end tag the parent, the next element or the adoption agency would otherwise restructure the tree over.

- Add `[containedpath]`/`[containedfile]` placeholders, used for `[path]`/`[file]` of asset and html modules with `experiments.futureDefaults`. (by [@​alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#​21592](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21592))

- Speed up builds and cut memory: faster CSS, HTML and JavaScript parsing and minification, a built-in scope analyzer replacing `eslint-scope`, faster dependency hot paths, module diagnostics, CommonJS export scanning and concatenated module renaming, runtime modules, parsers, generators and dependencies loaded only when used, one file watcher pool shared between MultiCompiler children, and lower parser, graph and startup memory.

- Clear a `Watching`'s `blocked` flag when its build starts, so it reports only a child actually waiting for its MultiCompiler parent.

Four correctness fixes found while reducing test262 divergences, plus the test262 bookkeeping for them.
import(request, options)with a computed request took the context-dependency path, which replaced everything after the request with)and silently discarded the options expression and its side effects. It is now wrapped the way the static-request path already is, so the arguments evaluate in spec order and the options are checked. This also fixed a pre-existing bug on the static path: an options range excludes the parentheses the source had, soimport(req, (a, b))split into arguments of its own and rejected valid code with aTypeError.reexportExportsPresence: "error"still only warned, andfalsestill warned. The ambiguous star export next to it honours the option. The default is unchanged (a cycle warns, skipping the promotion to an error that AUTO gives a strict harmony module); an explicit setting now decides.output.library.type: "module"was set, so the bundle settled before the entry did and a rejecting entry left its rejection with no one to hand it to — surfacing as a process-level unhandled rejection instead of failing the bundle.import * as ns from "./x"; ns = null;silently succeeded and left every later read ofnslooking at the assigned value. A real ES module throws aTypeError; webpack already keeps that throw for a named import, but a namespace import is the binding itself and nothing webpack can emit for it throws (the declaration must stay avarbecause a runtime-condition import needs function scope and HMR accept reassigns it). It is now reported at build time, which is what Rollup and esbuild do.Together with the test262 harness work these take the suite's skipped files from 134 to 111.
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
fix
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes —
configCases/parsing/import-options-side-effects,configCases/errors/circular-reexport-error,configCases/errors/circular-reexport-silenced,configCases/module/async-entry-await,configCases/errors/assign-to-namespace-import. Each was confirmed failing before its fix and passing after, in both the plain and filesystem-cache suites.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
One small one: assigning to a namespace import is now a build error rather than silently corrupting the binding. Such code already throws a
TypeErrorin any real ES module environment, so the migration is to remove the assignment. The circular-reexport change keeps its current default and only takes effect wherereexportExportsPresenceis set explicitly.If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
module.parser.javascript.reexportExportsPresencenow also governs the circular-reexport diagnostic, which is worth a line in its docs.Use of AI
AI (Claude Code) was used throughout: to investigate the test262 divergences, reproduce each one against Node.js unbundled, locate the causes in
lib/, write the fixes and the config cases, and run the verification. Every fix was checked against a build of the unmodified tree before and after, and the full test262 suite plusConfigTestCaseswere run on the rebased branch. A CPU-profile and retained-heap A/B against the merge base was run to confirm no performance or memory regression. All findings and reasoning were reviewed by me before committing.Generated by Claude Code
