Issue for this PR

Closes #1191

This re-lands #1192, which was merged but never reached main. #1191 is still open because of that, not by oversight.

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor / code improvement
  • Documentation

What does this PR do?

Why identical work is reappearing. #1192 was squash-merged into its base branch, fix/warehouse-driver-bootstrap (#1122), rather than into main. #1122 had squash-merged to main 43 seconds earlier — 07:33:38Z versus 07:34:21Z — so main's snapshot was taken before #1192's content existed on that branch. #1122 was the only PR from fix/warehouse-driver-bootstrap, and it is already merged, so nothing was going to carry #1192 across.

The mechanics, if you want to check rather than take my word:

The GitHub API reports #1192 as merged: true, which is accurate and misleading in equal measure — it merged into the wrong base.

The bug, still present on main today. Drivers are deliberately not shipped, so "driver not installed" is a normal state users hit by design rather than an edge case. driverSearchRoots() returns only directories that exist, so on a machine that has never installed a driver it returns nothing, and the error ends in a bare Searched 0 locations: — a colon with nothing after it, naming nowhere to look.

The fix says plainly that there was nothing to search, and names the node_modules directory the printed install command creates. Resolution behaviour is unchanged: this is the error text and one branch.

The change is #1192's, not a rewrite. It is the cherry-pick of #1192's squashed result onto main. Ignoring blob hashes and hunk offsets, the diff here is byte-identical to that commit's own diff, and it applied with no conflict — which independently confirms main already carries #1122's version of both files. Nothing from #1122 is included; that is already on main.

How did you verify your code works?

First, that the premise is true on live main rather than inferred from the merge graph. On babc7cb, constructing the error with an empty searched list prints:

DuckDB driver not installed.
Install it with the warehouse_install_driver tool, or run:
  npm install --prefix /Users/…/.local/share/altimate-code/drivers duckdb
Searched 0 locations:

with nothing after the colon, and none of this commit's wording. So the defect is live, not historical.

Gates

Gate Result
bun run typecheck 13/13 successful (--force, so not a cache replay)
analyze.ts --markers --base origin/main --strict ok — no upstream-shared files modified
bun run lint 5903 warnings, 1 error — identical to main's own baseline, measured by checking out main and re-running. The error is the known pre-existing consistent-return in packages/http-recorder/test/record-replay.test.ts.
packages/drivers 225 pass, 0 fail (main baseline is 223; the two added are this change's own)
packages/opencode test/altimate 4226 pass, 0 fail

One flaky failure, which is not this change. A first test/altimate run failed sample_setup tool — LLM-facing contract > second call to same target at 5005.74ms. That is the known self-race: the test's execFile probe for the dbt runtime uses a 5000ms timeout and the test's own timeout is also 5000ms, so under load it races itself. It passed on re-run, and the only change on this branch is an error-message string in packages/drivers, which sample_setup does not touch. Pre-existing, worth its own fix, not this PR.

Two tests, unchanged from #1192. The empty case must not render Searched 0 locations: and must name the install directory; the populated case must still list the roots it actually searched. The existing "names the searched roots" test was also tightened to create a real managed root and assert the message contains it.

Not verified by me: Windows. The change is string formatting and path.join, with no platform-specific behaviour, but I did not run it there.

Screenshots / recordings

Not a UI change.

Checklist

  • I have tested my changes locally
  • I have not included unrelated changes in this PR

Note

Low Risk
User-facing error strings only in packages/drivers; no changes to install or resolution logic.

Overview
When optional warehouse drivers are missing and driverSearchRoots() returns nothing (typical on first run before any managed node_modules exists), DriverNotInstalledError no longer ends with a useless Searched 0 locations: line. It now states that no searchable locations were found and names the expected managed node_modules path under driverInstallDir(), aligned with the printed npm install --prefix hint.

When roots were actually searched, the message is unchanged: it still lists count and paths. Driver resolution behavior is untouched.

Tests cover the empty-root wording, the multi-root list, and tighten the integration case to assert the managed root appears in the message.

Summary by cubic

Fixes the missing-driver error so it names a location when no searchable driver locations are found. The error previously ended in a bare Searched 0 locations: with nothing after the colon; it now states that no searchable locations were found and names the expected node_modules directory. This re-lands #1192, which was merged but never reached main. Closes #1191. Resolution behavior is unchanged; only the error message is affected.

Written for commit 5e9a168. Summary will update on new commits.

…nothing

Re-lands the change from #1192, which was merged but never reached `main`.

Drivers are deliberately not shipped, so "driver not installed" is a normal
state users hit by design rather than an edge case. `driverSearchRoots()`
returns only directories that exist, so on a machine that has never installed a
driver it returns nothing and the error ended in a bare "Searched 0 locations:"
— a colon with nothing after it, naming nowhere to look.

Say plainly that there was nothing to search, and name the `node_modules`
directory the printed install command creates. Resolution behaviour is
unchanged; this is the error text and one branch.

Why this is reappearing: #1192 was squash-merged into its base branch,
`fix/warehouse-driver-bootstrap` (#1122), rather than into `main`. #1122 had
squash-merged to `main` 43 seconds earlier, so main's snapshot was already
taken and this change was never carried across. Its merge commit `e005323` has
the single parent `c49149a` — #1122's head, which is not an ancestor of `main`
— and #1122 was the only PR from that branch, so nothing else was going to
bring it over.

Verified against live `main` rather than inferred: constructing
`DriverNotInstalledError` with an empty searched list on `babc7cb` prints

    Searched 0 locations:

with nothing after the colon, and none of this commit's text.

The content is the cherry-pick of #1192's squashed result onto `main`. Ignoring
blob hashes and hunk offsets it is byte-identical to that commit's own diff, and
it applied without conflict, which independently confirms `main` already carries
#1122's version of both files.

Two tests, unchanged from #1192: the empty case must not render
"Searched 0 locations:" and must name the install directory, and the populated
case must still list the roots it actually searched.

Changes

Driver error reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conditional missing-driver message
packages/drivers/src/resolve.ts
The error message now reports the expected managed location when the searched-root list is empty. It preserves the existing location list when roots are present.
Missing-driver message tests

Tests cover empty and populated search-root lists and verify the managed node_modules path.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5e9a1

This PR only clarifies the missing-driver error and does not change driver resolution. The added tests may interfere when run concurrently because they share environment and temporary-directory state, potentially causing flaky results; the change is mergeable with owner awareness or a follow-up to serialize or isolate those tests.

A rabbit checks the driver trail,

No roots appear beneath the veil.
The message names the proper place,
Tests watch each search case,
And installation leaves a trace.

🌐 Web query:

Bun 1.3.14 bun:test default test concurrency tests within a file across test files process isolation

💡 Result:

In Bun's test runner, concurrency and process isolation are handled as distinct mechanisms [1]. Concurrent Test Execution (Within a File) By default, Bun executes tests sequentially within each file [2][3]. You can enable concurrent execution using the --concurrent CLI flag, which allows asynchronous tests in the same file to run in parallel [2][1]. You can also opt-in specific tests or groups by using test.concurrent(...) or describe.concurrent(...) [4][1][5][6]. When concurrency is enabled, the maximum number of tests that can run simultaneously is 20 by default, a limit which can be adjusted with the --max-concurrency flag [2][3][4]. Individual tests or groups can be forced to run sequentially even when concurrency is enabled by using test.serial(...) or describe.serial(...) [4][5][6]. Note that concurrent tests within a file share the same process and event loop [1]. Parallel and Isolated Test Execution (Across Files) To run test files in parallel across CPU cores, you use the --parallel flag [2][1]. By default, Bun runs all tests in a single process to provide faster startup and shared memory [7]. Using --parallel spawns multiple worker processes, which effectively provides process isolation between different test files [1]. Each test file is executed in its own process when --parallel is used, preventing one file's global state or crashes from impacting others [1][7]. Summary of Key Flags - --concurrent: Enables concurrent execution of tests within the same file [2][3]. - --max-concurrency: Sets the maximum number of concurrent tests (default: 20) [2][3]. - --parallel: Runs test files in parallel across CPU cores, utilizing separate worker processes for isolation [1].

Citations:


Serialize this suite under Bun concurrent test mode. process.env, savedEnv, and tmpRoot are shared module state. With --concurrent, one test can overwrite another test's environment snapshot or temporary directory, causing incorrect resolution and cleanup. Use serial execution or per-test isolation.
