[scottstanfield]

What version of Bun is running?

1.0.26

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 22.6.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

bun init
bun add zeromq
echo "require('zeromq')" > index.ts
bun index.ts

What is the expected behavior?

Expecting zeromq module to load (and no output).

What do you see instead?

zsh: killed     bun index.ts

Additional information

Works in node (v21). This appears to be a regression as the same issue was marked closed in #6313

Also tested with bun v1.0.17 (went back to binary chop to a version that works, but no luck yet).

Can confirm this is still an issue.

bun -v 1.0.25 "zeromq": "6.0.0-beta.19"

dyld[28564]: missing symbol called
[1]    28564 killed     bun run index.ts

I have a minimal bug reproduction repo here: https://github.com/nk1tz/bun-zeromq-bug-repro which also includes a macOS crash report.

I also included a docker-compose way of running which has a different failure mode (I don't know if related) in case that's helpful.

The zeromq install script appears to run successfully during bun i --verbose, I don't see any obvious errors there.

~seems to work after bun upgrade --canary~

my bad, can install on canary but it doesn't work at runtime

Correct, this is a runtime error. bun i zeromq@6.0.0-beta.19 --verbose shows a successful run of zeromq's post-install script.

Just tested on bun 1.0.30 Confirmed still a bug.

Definitely still broken as of 1.1.12 albeit with a very slightly different error, is this likely to get resolved any time soon or should we be looking for another way forward?

dyld[66065]: missing symbol called
[1]    66065 abort      bun run test.ts

@alexgraul its the same error

The issue is that zeromq uses V8 or libuv symbols which we haven't implemented yet. The tracking issue for this is #4290

[alexgraul]

Understood, thankyou for the tracking issue link!

I notice that zeromq has an implementation in zig.

Would this be at all useful as a way to support zeromq in bun?
