Bun (experimental)

Goal: run this repo with Bun (optional, not recommended for WhatsApp/Telegram) without diverging from pnpm workflows.

⚠️ Not recommended for Gateway runtime (WhatsApp/Telegram bugs). Use Node for production.

Status

• Bun is an optional local runtime for running TypeScript directly (bun run …, bun --watch …).
• pnpm is the default for builds and remains fully supported (and used by some docs tooling).
• Bun cannot use pnpm-lock.yaml and will ignore it.

Install

Default:

bun install

Note: bun.lock/bun.lockb are gitignored, so there’s no repo churn either way. If you want no lockfile writes:

bun install --no-save

Build / Test (Bun)

bun run build
bun run vitest run

Bun lifecycle scripts (blocked by default)

Bun may block dependency lifecycle scripts unless explicitly trusted (bun pm untrusted / bun pm trust). For this repo, the commonly blocked scripts are not required:

• @whiskeysockets/baileys preinstall: checks Node major >= 20 (we run Node 22+).
• protobufjs postinstall: emits warnings about incompatible version schemes (no build artifacts).

If you hit a real runtime issue that requires these scripts, trust them explicitly:

bun pm trust @whiskeysockets/baileys protobufjs

Caveats

• Some scripts still hardcode pnpm (e.g. docs:build, ui:*, protocol:check). Run those via pnpm for now.
