test: speed up the test suite by ~28-34% - #4067
Conversation
Every fixture built the whole Marko runtime into its own bundle four times (dom and html, debug and optimize) even though only the optimize dom bundle's bytes are measured. Bundle the runtime once per process and link it as an external everywhere else: a fixture build drops from ~26ms of CPU to ~5ms. The compiler-injected `*.feat` side-effect modules enable behavior by reassigning the runtime's own bindings, so they are entries of that same bundle rather than copies linked into each fixture. Snapshots of the affected bundles now show the runtime's exported names (`_scope`, `_attr_textarea_value`) where inlining had collapsed them to the shared internal name (`writeScope`, `_attr_input_value`); the emitted fixture code is otherwise unchanged. Mocha awaits a fixture's bundles before running it, so a sliced run starts the next few builds as each fixture begins, overlapping bundling with the renders ahead of it. `captureConsole` patches the process console, so those builds run detached from any capture window. Rolldown sizes its thread pool from the whole machine while `test-parallel` already runs one worker per core, so each worker's bundler now asks for the share that is actually free.

WalkthroughThe pull request improves runtime fixture test throughput. It allocates Rolldown threads across test workers, schedules fixture builds ahead of execution, and reuses cached prebuilt runtime bundles. It adds detached console handling for asynchronous builds and bounded V8 module caching. It preserves absolute dynamic import paths, removes a serializer purity annotation, enables the Node compile cache, and adds performance feedback notes. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The test infrastructure changes add shared runtime bundling and compile caching, but coverage runs may produce less precise results and concurrent cleanup can sporadically fail fixture builds.

Source: Coding guidelines
Three follow-ups to the external test runtime. The interop fixtures' dom build can link the prebuilt runtime too — the marko 5 runtime only ever imports the runtime-tags entries, so a single instance still reaches both sides. Its html build cannot: rendering comes back empty, so it keeps bundling. Every fixture realm re-compiles the same prebuilt runtime bundle and V8's own compilation cache is off because it pins each realm, so `importWithContext` keeps a bounded code cache for the sources that actually repeat. `mocha/bin/mocha.js` only re-execs `bin/_mocha` with the config's node flags, so `test-parallel` passes those flags itself and spawns one process per worker instead of two. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A test worker holds under 200MB of live heap, but V8 left with the machine's default limit lets garbage pile up past the worker memory budget, and the budget then hands the remaining suites to a fresh process — paying a full startup to reclaim memory a collection would have. Forcing a major GC at that point frees ~40MB, so the growth is V8 sizing its heap to the limit it was given, not anything the run retains. Cap the heap instead, high enough that a worker carrying a small share never feels it, and give the budget the room the cap leaves it. Coverage keeps the tighter budget: it retains every counted script natively, outside the heap the cap bounds, so its handoff is real.

Linking the runtime as an external moved most of the runtime's executed code out of the per-fixture bundles and into one prebuilt bundle, and coverage stopped counting it: statements fell from 93.46% to 89.29%, with whole modules (`dom/template.ts`, `common/for.ts`) reading near zero. Two reasons, both about where the bundle lives. `zcov.json` scopes coverage to `packages/*/src/**` and the bundle was written to a temp directory, so its script never reached the remapping the sourcemap would have driven. And it was removed when its process exited, while a coverage run maps its dumps only once every worker has finished — including the ones that hand their remaining suites to a fresh process mid-run. Put it in a gitignored `dist` under the suite and let a directory outlive the run that wrote it, clearing only what no run can still be reporting on.

Each worker spends ~1.8s loading its spec files before it runs anything — mocha, jsdom, babel, the compiler and the suite itself, compiled from source in every one of them, on every run. Node's on-disk compile cache is keyed by content and node version, so it cannot serve a stale entry; turning it on in the `~ts` hook covers every worker and every script that runs through it. A warm run drops ~6% locally and ~2.5% on four cores. The run that fills the cache pays for the writes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Handle concurrent stale-directory removal.
When two workers find the same stale PID directory, one can remove it before another calls fs.statSync. The uncaught ENOENT then fails that worker's fixture build. Ignore ENOENT around the stat/remove sequence.

Node.js v22.18.0 module enableCompileCache precise coverage NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE documentation
💡 Result:
In Node.js v22.18.0, the module compile cache is a feature that enables on-disk V8 code caching for loaded modules to improve startup performance [1][2]. Key technical details regarding your query: module.enableCompileCache([cacheDir]) This JavaScript API allows tooling and library authors to programmatically enable the compile cache for their own code [3][4]. It was introduced in Node.js v22.8.0 [5]. - If called without the optional cacheDir argument, Node.js will use the path specified by the NODE_COMPILE_CACHE environment variable if set, or default to path.join(os.tmpdir, 'node-compile-cache') [1][2]. - It is recommended for library authors to call this method without an explicit directory to allow end-users to override the location via the NODE_COMPILE_CACHE environment variable [1][6]. NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE This environment variable serves as an escape hatch to disable the code cache [6]. Setting NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 is useful in scenarios where the compile cache may lead to unexpected behaviors, such as reducing the precision of test coverage reports [7][6]. The module compile cache is intended to speed up the loading of CommonJS, ECMAScript, and TypeScript modules [7][8]. While it can improve subsequent load times, it may introduce a performance penalty during the first load of a module graph while the cache is being generated [1][9]. Cache files can be cleared by removing the specified cache directory [7][10].

@zcov/cli 0.1.4 NODE_V8_COVERAGE zcov command coverage implementation
💡 Result:
@zcov/cli version 0.1.4 is a native-binary tool designed as a drop-in replacement for c8 and nyc [1][2][3]. Its primary function is to execute a command with the NODE_V8_COVERAGE environment variable enabled to collect V8 coverage data, which it then processes and reports without the overhead of JavaScript-based AST parsing [1][4]. The implementation relies on the following key mechanics: 1. Coverage Collection: It runs the user-specified command with NODE_V8_COVERAGE set to a designated directory [1][4]. 2. Native Processing: The entire pipeline—including remapping coverage data through source maps and generating reports (lcov, json, html, or text)—is executed within a single native binary [1][2]. By avoiding JavaScript-based coverage JSON parsing and AST analysis, it minimizes resource usage and avoids common JavaScript-level bottlenecks [1][4]. 3. Reporting and Analysis: It supports parallel processing of coverage dumps across multiple threads (up to 8, or one per core) to accumulate tables and merge them into a final report [3][4]. 4. Accuracy and Verification: The tool aims for high precision in coverage reporting, utilizing a reference corpus of 191 cases to ensure exact per-line counts [1][4]. It explicitly prioritizes accuracy over tool-compatibility in certain cases—for example, it does not fabricate "taken" statuses for branches where V8 provides no data, resulting in a smaller branch denominator but lower false-positive rates compared to other engines [5]. The package structure includes a lightweight bin/zcov.js shim that detects the environment (including musl vs gnu libc on Linux) and executes the corresponding prebuilt native binary, which is bundled as an optional dependency [2][4].

Disable compile caching during coverage runs.
zcov sets NODE_V8_COVERAGE, which its child test workers inherit. This call then enables module compile caching during coverage collection. Node.js documents that compile caching can reduce coverage precision. Set NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1 for zcov or skip enableCompileCache(...) when NODE_V8_COVERAGE is set.

Every fixture bundled the whole Marko runtime into its own output four times — dom and html, debug and optimize — even though only the optimize dom bundle's bytes are measured. The runtime is now bundled once per process and linked as an external in the other three, which takes a fixture build from ~26ms of CPU to ~5ms. The compiler-injected
*.featside-effect modules enable behavior by reassigning the runtime's own bindings, so they are entries of that same bundle rather than copies linked into each fixture. The interop fixtures' dom build links it too; their html build cannot — rendering comes back empty — so it keeps bundling.Snapshots of the affected bundles now show the runtime's exported names (
_scope,_attr_textarea_value) where inlining had collapsed them to the shared internal name (writeScope,_attr_input_value). That is nearly the whole snapshot diff: 1,500 files, line for line, with no change to the emitted fixture code.Where the prebuilt bundle lives matters for coverage:
zcov.jsonscopes coverage topackages/*/src/**, and it has to outlive the process because a coverage run remaps its dumps only once every worker has exited — including the ones that hand their remaining suites to a fresh process mid-run. It sits in a gitignoreddistunder the suite, and a directory is cleared only when no run can still be reporting on it.Around that:
captureConsolepatches the process console, so those builds run detached from any capture window.~tshook turns on node's on-disk compile cache. It is keyed by content and node version, so it cannot serve a stale entry; the run that fills it pays for the writes.test-parallelalready runs one worker per core, so each worker's bundler asks only for the share that is free.importWithContextkeeps a bounded V8 code cache for the sources that repeat.mocha/bin/mocha.jsonly re-execsbin/_mochawith the config's node flags, sotest-parallelpasses those itself and spawns one process per worker instead of two.Measured on a 16-core box,
