revert: restore output.environment.topLevelAwait after the patch release - #21915
Conversation
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.

Await asynchronous entries that use onChunksLoaded.
When chunks.length > 0, this code does not add the onChunksLoaded result to awaitedEntries. An asynchronous ESM entry with dependent initial chunks can therefore expose a Promise instead of resolved exports, and a non-last entry is not assigned to an awaited target. Apply the same per-entry target and await tracking to that branch.
Proposed fix
if (chunks.length > 0) {
+ const awaitEntry = canAwaitEntry && moduleGraph.isAsync(entryModule);
+ const target =
+ i === 0
+ ? RuntimeGlobals.exports
+ : `${RuntimeGlobals.exports}_${i}`;
+ const needsDecl = i === 0 || awaitEntry;
buf2.push(
- `${i === 0 ? `${exportsDecl} ${RuntimeGlobals.exports} = ` : ""}${
+ `${needsDecl ? `${exportsDecl} ${target} = ` : ""}${
RuntimeGlobals.onChunksLoaded
}(undefined, ${JSON.stringify(
chunks.map((c) => c.id)
)}, ${runtimeTemplate.returningFunction(
`${RuntimeGlobals.require}(${moduleIdExpr})`
)})`
);
+ if (awaitEntry) awaitedEntries.push(target);

Restrict asyncFunction matching to function bodies.
The existing matcher at Lines 50-55 matches every AwaitExpression and awaited ForOfStatement. The new matcher also matches those nodes at top level. When both environment flags are false, one top-level construct produces duplicate findings, including an asyncFunction requirement.
Pass inFunction to the asyncFunction matcher and guard only its await-specific branches. Add Jest coverage for module-level await, module-level for await...of, and nested function cases in test/EcmaConformance.unittest.js.
Suggested matcher change

node.async === true ||
- node.type === "AwaitExpression" ||
- (node.type === "ForOfStatement" && node.await === true)
+ (inFunction &&
+ (node.type === "AwaitExpression" ||
+ (node.type === "ForOfStatement" && node.await === true)))As per coding guidelines, changed behavior must have test coverage and test files must use Jest assertions.

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.

No — it adds an option that has never shipped, and restores behaviour that is gated on it.

Yes. Claude Code performed the revert of #21881 onto current main, resolved the two conflicts (the released changeset, and the minified validator), and drafted this description. The validator reconstruction was verified by asserting the compiled schema accepts a boolean
topLevelAwait, rejects a non-boolean, and still handles the neighbouring flags and #21886'soptimization.minimizeOptions. Note thatyarn installcould not run in that environment (thetoolingdevDependency is fetched fromcodeload.github.com, which was blocked), soyarn fix:special, lint and the test suites were not run locally — CI is the first full run, andlint:specialis the authority on the regenerated files.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
