Bun doesn't run install scripts on packages

[vladfrangu]

What version of Bun is running?

1.0.0+822a00c4d508b54f650933a73ca5f4a3af9a7983

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 23.0.0 arm64 arm

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. bun install re2

What is the expected behavior?

Bun installs the module and runs its install script (which does work when done manually in the module's node_modules folder by calling bun run install)

What do you see instead?

The module doesn't get its script ran

Additional information

There seems to be another unrelated issue to re2, most likely related to the native layer not working between node and bun (which makes sense)

❯ bun repl                  
[0.06ms] ".env"
Welcome to Bun v1.0.0
Type ".help" for more information.

Thanks for reporting, we're going to fix this in the next release. Until then, you do the following:

package.json:

{
  "trustedDependencies": [
    "re2"
  ]
}

Remove, then add so postinstall script is run.

bun remove re2
bun add re2

@Electroid I'm curious what you're going to fix; the current documented behavior seems very intentional. Is bun install going to run lifecycle scripts like postinstall without whitelisting via trustedDependencies in the next release?

implementing #3756 would make it clear whether or not dependencies' postinstall scripts needs to be ran

#3756 (comment)
Warnings for skipped postinstall scripts is a must have! Is there any work being done for #3756?

@jakeboone02 I just hope the "fix" is a flag that disables this behaviour. I understand the value of having this as a default, it's good for new projects... but if you want to start using bun on an existing large project it's really clunky, quite a chore figuring out which dependencies are running pre/post.

[ineffyble]

For anyone struggling with getting the postinstall to run for a transitive dependency, delete both node_modules and bun.lockb, make sure the package is in dependencies and trustedDependencies, and then do a bun install.

Same problem when Installing re2 . @Electroid solution fixed it but now bun run throw an error:

dyld[95891]: missing symbol called
[1] 95891 killed bun run index.ts

Fixed by @dylan-conway and @paperdave in #7132

This will be part of the Bun v1.0.17 release, which ships in a few hours from the time of writing.
