Summary

  • make JsPromise::reject_string and native-async message rejection produce real JavaScript Error objects on the main thread
  • add a deferred rejection builder so extensions can safely construct structured rejection values after worker-thread work
  • preserve MySQL server .errno and common mysql2-style symbolic .code values such as ER_DUP_ENTRY
  • add direct mysql2, sharp, and native-async regressions plus native-library documentation

Verification

  • cargo test -p perry-runtime promise::native_async::tests --lib
  • cargo test -p perry-ext-mysql2 -p perry-ext-sharp
  • cargo test -p perry-ext-mysql2
  • cargo check -p perry-ffi -p perry-stdlib -p perry-ext-mysql2 -p perry-ext-sharp
  • cargo test --no-run -p perry-ext-events
  • cargo test --no-run -p perry-ext-fetch
  • cargo test --no-run -p perry-ext-http
  • cargo test --no-run -p perry-ext-net
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check

No package or workspace version bump.

Closes #8750

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Native asynchronous failures now reject with JavaScript Error objects containing usable message and stack properties.
    • MySQL errors preserve compatible code and errno metadata.
    • Added support for creating structured rejection values on the runtime’s main thread.
  • Documentation

    • Updated native library documentation to explain asynchronous rejection options and error behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for MySQL error metadata and invalid-handle failures returning proper Error objects.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Native async rejection now creates JavaScript Error objects with message and stack. The new reject_with API builds structured values on the main thread. mysql2 errors preserve symbolic code and numeric errno metadata. Test shims and documentation cover the new behavior.

Changes

Native extension Error rejections

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime Error settlement
crates/perry-ffi/src/async_runtime.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/promise/native_async.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/perry_ffi_async.rs
reject_string now creates a JavaScript Error on the main thread. reject_with builds structured rejection values through the deferred FFI bridge. Cancellation and wrong-thread rejection paths also use Error objects.
Extension test bridge
crates/perry-ext-events/src/test_async_shims.rs, crates/perry-ext-fetch/src/test_async_shims.rs, crates/perry-ext-http/src/test_async_shims.rs, crates/perry-ext-mysql2/src/test_async_shims.rs, crates/perry-ext-net/src/test_async_shims.rs, crates/perry-ext-sharp/...
Test-only shims support deferred rejection callbacks. Sharp tests add standalone runtime wiring and verify invalid-handle failures produce an Error with a message and stack.
MySQL structured errors
crates/perry-ext-mysql2/src/lib.rs
Connection, pool, and query failures use MysqlPromiseError. Server errors include mapped code and numeric errno fields through system_error_value; other failures use Error messages. Tests verify both metadata and invalid-handle errors.
Async rejection documentation
docs/src/native-libraries/*.md, changelog.d/8750-ext-error-objects.md
Documentation describes reject_string, reject, and reject_with, including Error properties and main-thread allocation. The changelog records the extension error behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 7e87a

Native async failures can construct an Error from a message that may be invalidated during garbage collection, potentially causing incorrect rejection behavior or a runtime crash; this must be fixed before merging.

- Around line 194-201: Update error_value_bits to store the GC-managed message
in the active RuntimeHandleScope immediately after js_string_from_bytes returns
and before calling js_error_new_with_message, ensuring the root dominates that
allocation site.

ext errors are thrown as plain strings, not Error objects (mysql2, sharp)
