Summary

Fixes #294

When running behind middleware or hosting environments that pre-drain request streams into a req.rawBody buffer (e.g. Google Cloud Functions / Firebase Functions / Express body parsers), req.readableEnded is already true when srvx handles the request.

In NodeRequest.#readBuffered(), isBodySourceFinished(this.#req) checks req.readableEnded and rejects immediately with TypeError: Body is unusable, preventing the execution from reaching readBody() where the req.rawBody buffer is handled.

Background

readBody() already supports rawBody buffers provided by environments like Cloud Functions:

if ("rawBody" in req && Buffer.isBuffer(req.rawBody)) {
  if (maxRequestBodySize !== undefined && req.rawBody.length > maxRequestBodySize) {
    return Promise.reject(createBodyTooLargeError(maxRequestBodySize));
  }
  return Promise.resolve(req.rawBody);
}

When rawBody is present on the incoming request, the body has already been completely received and buffered. Checking for rawBody before evaluating isBodySourceFinished allows these environments to read the body without being incorrectly rejected as an unusable/exhausted stream.

Verification

  • Added regression test in test/node-adapters.test.ts verifying that pre-drained streams containing req.rawBody can be read via request.text() and request.json().
  • Verified pnpm vitest run test/node-adapters.test.ts passes (95 tests).
  • oxlint, oxfmt, and typecheck clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed request handling when middleware has already buffered the request body.
    • Ensured pre-read JSON payloads remain available to Fetch-based handlers.
    • Continued enforcing maximum request body size limits for buffered requests.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for requests whose bodies are drained and stored before handler processing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Node adapter now reads a pre-buffered rawBody before using the request stream. Regression tests verify text and JSON reads after middleware consumes the request stream.

Changes

Node raw body handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pre-buffered body read and regression coverage
src/adapters/_node/request.ts, test/node-adapters.test.ts
#readBuffered() reads a rawBody Buffer through readBody() with the configured size limit. End-to-end tests validate text and JSON payloads after middleware consumes the request stream.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0540f

The change allows supported pre-buffered request bodies to be read without altering public APIs or deployment behavior, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit guards the raw body stream,
And finds the bytes beside the beam.
Text and JSON cross the Node way,
Though middleware drained them away.
The buffered path now reads them bright.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a regression in the Node adapter where requests whose Node stream was already fully drained by upstream middleware (but preserved as req.rawBody) would be rejected as “Body is unusable” before the rawBody fast path could be used.

Changes:

  • Update NodeRequest.#readBuffered() to prefer the req.rawBody fast path before checking whether the underlying stream is already finished.
  • Add a regression test intended to cover the pre-drained-with-rawBody scenario.

File Description
src/adapters/_node/request.ts Moves the rawBody path ahead of the finished-stream guard so pre-drained bodies remain readable.
test/node-adapters.test.ts Adds a regression test for pre-drained request streams with rawBody present.

In `@test/node-adapters.test.ts`:
- Around line 750-755: Add a matching test near the existing pre-drained rawBody
test in the serve fetch handler, exercising request.json() after middleware
stores rawBody and asserting the parsed body is returned correctly; reuse an
existing equivalent regression test if present.
- Around line 758-765: Synchronize the pre-drain request listener with the Fetch
handler by creating a promise that resolves after req.rawBody is assigned in the
server.node.server request listener, then await that promise before invoking
fetchHandler(request). Ensure the test’s request.text() path runs only after
rawBody has been populated.
