Summary

  • Add mode option to Bun.write() to allow setting file permissions on POSIX systems
  • Implementation covers all write code paths including async operations and file copying
  • Added comprehensive tests verifying mode setting works correctly

Implementation Details

This PR implements the mode option for Bun.write() similar to Node.js fs.writeFile(). The implementation includes:

Core Changes

  • Blob.zig: Added mode parsing and parameter passing in main write functions
  • write_file.zig: Updated async file writing to support mode option
  • copy_file.zig: Added mode support for file copying operations
  • S3File.zig: Updated write method to parse and pass mode option

Key Features

  • Mode validation follows Node.js behavior (uses modeFromJS() with truncation to 0o777)
  • Cross-platform support (POSIX systems only, Windows file permissions work differently)
  • Works with all data types (strings, Uint8Array, ArrayBuffer, Blob)
  • Compatible with existing options like createPath

Usage Examples

// Set read/write for owner, read for others
await Bun.write("file.txt", "content", { mode: 0o644 });

// Set executable permissions
await Bun.write("script.sh", "#\!/bin/bash\necho hello", { mode: 0o755 });

// Works with blob operations  
const file = Bun.file("output.txt");
await file.write("data", { mode: 0o600 });

// Works with file copying
await Bun.write(Bun.file("dest.txt"), Bun.file("source.txt"), { mode: 0o640 });

Test Plan

  • ✅ All existing tests pass
  • ✅ Added comprehensive mode option tests covering:
    • Basic mode setting with different permission values
    • Blob write operations with mode
    • File copying with mode
    • Mode with createPath option
    • Different data types (string, Uint8Array, ArrayBuffer)
    • Edge case handling (mode truncation, validation)
  • ✅ Cross-platform compilation verified with bun run zig:check-all

This implements the mode option for Bun.write() to allow setting file permissions on POSIX systems, similar to Node.js fs.writeFile(). The implementation covers all write code paths:

- Main Bun.write() function in Blob.zig
- Async file writing in write_file.zig
- File copying in copy_file.zig
- S3File write method

Key changes:
- Added mode field to WriteFileOptions struct
- Updated all write functions to accept and use mode parameter
- Added fchmod() calls after file creation on POSIX systems
- Added comprehensive tests covering various write scenarios
- Mode validation follows Node.js behavior (truncates to 0o777)

Tests verify mode setting works correctly for string data, binary data, blob operations, file copying, and various edge cases.

Fixed type casting issues where u32 mode values were being passed to functions
expecting u16 (bun.Mode) on macOS. Added @intcast() wrappers for:
- bun.sys.open() mode parameters in Blob.zig
- bun.sys.fchmod() mode parameters in Blob.zig, copy_file.zig, and write_file.zig

All cross-platform builds now pass with `bun run zig:check-all`.

Eliminates @intcast() calls by using the proper bun.Mode type throughout
the codebase instead of u32. This improves type safety and removes
platform-specific casting issues between u16 and u32.

I dont think this has any meaning for s3 right? we can just throw an error here or just ignore it instead of parsing it
