fix(defer): evaluate async dependencies where the deferred import sits by alexander-akait · Pull Request #21902 · webpack/webpack

alexander-akait · 2026-09-01T12:23:44Z

Summary

A deferred import's async transitive dependencies were only started when the importing module awaited its dependencies, so every synchronous sibling ran first. With import defer * as ns2 from "./dep-2.js" sitting between two plain imports:

before: 1, 3, 5, │ 2.1.1 start, 2.2.1, 2.2 start │ 2.1.1 end, …
after:  1, │ 2.1.1 start, 2.2.1, 2.2 start │ 3, 5, 2.1.1 end, …

The emitted code was already in source order — makeOptimizedDeferredNamespaceObject recorded the ids and deferredModuleAsyncTransitiveDependencies first required them from handleDependencies. Three things had to change together:

They now start at the import. GatherAsynchronousTransitiveDependencies skips a module whose status is evaluating or evaluated, so a deferred import that cycles back to the module currently evaluating contributes nothing and cannot deadlock. That guard is applied where the list is built, which is the only place the two cases are distinguishable.
The "already finished" check had no effect. It read webpackDone from the module record, but that flag is only ever set on the promise in module.exports, so it silently reduced to "never required". That was equivalent while nothing started these early; it is not once the import does.
Gathering walks the imports in source order. getOutgoingAsyncModules iterated the outgoing-connections map, whose order is not the source order the spec reads from [[RequestedModules]] — matching in development and diverging under production ids.

Un-skips test262's import-defer/evaluation-top-level-await/flattening-order.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

fix

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes — configCases/defer-import/async-transitive-evaluation-order, which asserts the async dependency starts before the sibling below the deferred import and that the deferred module's own body still waits for the namespace. Verified failing on unmodified lib/ and passing with the change, in both the plain and filesystem-cache suites. test262 import-defer|top-level-await|dynamic-import is 4022 passing with none failing, and the full test:basic run is clean apart from the sandbox-only failures the contributing guide names.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No. The same modules are evaluated eagerly as before — only the point at which they start moves, and only for a graph reached through import defer.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

n/a

Use of AI

AI (Claude Code) was used throughout: to reproduce the divergence as a standalone bundle, read the emitted runtime to locate where the dependencies were first required, and write the fix and the config case. Two intermediate attempts were rejected on evidence — starting the dependencies alone left the importer no longer awaiting them, and guarding the cycle at await time could not tell a cycle apart from a dependency the import had just started, which regressed get-other-while-evaluating-async. All findings and reasoning were reviewed by me before committing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved deferred import evaluation so asynchronous dependencies execute in source order.
- Ensured deferred module bodies evaluate only when their namespace is accessed.
- Prevented already-running asynchronous dependencies from being evaluated again.
- Propagated asynchronous dependency errors consistently to all affected deferred imports.
Tests
- Added coverage for asynchronous evaluation order, dependency failures, and top-level await.
- Enabled a previously skipped standards test now that evaluation ordering behaves correctly.

A deferred import's async transitive dependencies were only started when the importing module awaited its dependencies, so every synchronous sibling ran first. They now start at the import, as the spec's `GatherAsynchronousTransitiveDependencies` requires, skipping a module that is already evaluating so a cycle back to the importer cannot deadlock. Gathering them walks the imports in source order, which the outgoing-connections map did not preserve under production ids. Un-skips test262's import-defer flattening-order case.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Deferred import handling now traverses async dependencies in source order and checks explicit completion and error state. Runtime code evaluates eligible dependencies with a filtered pass. New tests verify transitive evaluation order and rejection propagation. A Test262 case is enabled.

Changes

Deferred async evaluation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Source-ordered async dependency traversal `lib/async-modules/AsyncModuleHelpers.js`	Async module recursion follows Harmony imports in source order and skips modules already visited.
Deferred runtime evaluation `lib/runtime/AsyncModuleRuntimeModule.js`, `lib/runtime/MakeDeferredNamespaceObjectRuntime.js`	Runtime resolution requires explicit completion, treats rejected modules as unresolved, and evaluates eligible async dependencies with a filtered pass before recording their IDs.
Evaluation-order test coverage and release metadata `test/configCases/defer-import/async-transitive-evaluation-order/*`, `test/test262.spectest.js`, `.changeset/025-defer-async-evaluation-order.md`	The new test case verifies async dependency order and deferred body evaluation. The related Test262 case is enabled, and a patch changeset is added.
Rejected dependency propagation `test/configCases/defer-import/async-dependency-rejection/*`	The new test case verifies that multiple deferred imports receive the `"boom"` rejection from their shared async dependency.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 366dd

The PR starts async transitive dependencies at the deferred import while preserving the deferred module’s waiting behavior. No concrete runtime or correctness blocker remains, but a source comment still exceeds the repository’s two-line limit and should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

_{Comparing fix/defer-async-dependency-order (366dde2) with main (ebd3be4)}

A rejected async module still sets its done flag, so a later deferred import of the same subgraph read it as finished and never awaited it, dropping the error. It is now awaited whenever it carries one. The old check read the flag from the module record, where it is never set, so it meant "not yet required" and hid this behind the first importer; rewriting it for the evaluation-order fix made it reachable from the predicate itself.

(by [@alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#21788](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21788)) - Tree shake CommonJS: `module.exports` object literals, exports destructured from a `require()` binding, unused method requires, and unused side-effect-free `require()` calls and reexports.

(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.

(by [@alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#21839](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21839)) - 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. (by [@alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841)) - Improve tree-shaking for a namespace reexported as default, and fix `import d from "./mod"; d.member` reading `undefined` in that case.

(by [@alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#21386](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21386)) ##### Patch Changes - Let a memory-cache etag mismatch fall through to the file cache instead of reporting a miss. (by [@alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#21624](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21624)) - Determine provided exports in dependency order, so a build's module hashes no longer depend on what the persistent cache held.

(by [@alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#21558](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21558)) - Follow the HTML spec more closely when parsing and printing: frameset content, quirks paragraphs and selects, `<![CDATA[` outside foreign content as a bogus comment, `<?target data?>` as a processing instruction, `</>` dropped, comment data and DOCTYPE identifiers read from the tokenizer states, attributes merged from a repeated `<html>`/`<body>` tag, legacy JavaScript script types, void `keygen` and font format detection — and hand back the tree a parsed document was built from when printing it.
