What version of Bun is running?

1.1.26 0a37423ba

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22621.0 x64

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Oh, if only I knew.

What is the expected behavior?

bun install must install packages without errors.

What do you see instead?

Any time I run bun install (in any project but here is one example), I get dozens of Failed to link X: EPERM:

I've attempted:

  • rebooting,
  • nuking package cache at C:\Users\Comigo\.bun\install\cache,
  • nuking node_modules folder in my project,
  • nuking them both and trying bun install
  • reinstalling bun,
  • deleting and then installing bun,

all to no avail. I cannot continue working on my project.
I never run bun as admin. I also don't understand why the linking when all these packages are not installed globally, and some of them are dependencies.

Additional information

Alright, this is my antivirus killing everything in project folder's node_modules/.bin, but why the heck Bun creates metadata-less .exe files? Of course it will be slaughtered by every antivirus. What's wrong with .ps1 files?

I don't want to disable my antivirus just for that because I work on my projects almost daily.

Of course it will be slaughtered by every antivirus.

this is the second case i've seen anyone report this exe flagged. what anti virus software is it? i'd like to do some work later to make sure this is not the case going forward.

you can add the exe's hash to a whitelist, but due to #12738, the hash of that exe is not currently consistent and would have to be re-applied on every upgrade. that would be the first step to solving this issue.

when are you writing a blog post on your talk about this

not sure, as i'm spending most of my time on #13215. writing an entire blog post on this is not a priority.

What's wrong with .ps1 files?

  • starting a .ps1 script from outside powershell is extremely slow (hundreds of milliseconds)
  • starting a .cmd script in any form makes control c signals show an additional dialog Terminate batch job

the exe variant of this shim is the highest quality experience, and the proper solution is to figure out what stops anti-virus software. for what it's worth, we could add cmd/ps1 fallbacks for when this fails, but i don't think that workaround is a good idea.

in addition, there is not enough error handling in bun install to say what part of the installation hit EPERM (error: Failed to link package-name: EPERM). the error should say that it failed to create the bin link, the error it encountered while doing so, and then supplimentary text about it possibly being taken from an anti-virus.

360 Total Security. The files are marked as generic Trojans.

It seems to be a problem with Malwarebytes as well, all .exe files created by Bun (including my own lib) are nuked by it.
