Describe the Bug

When using dynamic imports to load two wasm modules in parallel using top-level await, any second await attempt failed with an uncaught error.

Minimal Reproduction: https://github.com/pi0/miniflare-reproduction

mode-a.mjs and mode-b.mjs:

const mod = (await import("./sum.wasm")).default;
const instance = await WebAssembly.instantiate(mod);

export const sum = instance.exports.sum;

worker.mjs:

let [a, b] = ["-", "-"];

// Only works if one await happens!
a = await import("./mod-a.mjs").then((r) => r.sum(1, 2));
b = await import("./mod-b.mjs").then((r) => r.sum(3, 4));

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
    // This works (also in parallel)
    // a = await import("./mod-a.mjs").then((r) => r.sum(1, 2));
    // b = await import("./mod-b.mjs").then((r) => r.sum(3, 4));

    return new Response(JSON.stringify([a, b], null, 2), {
      headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
    });
  },
};

Note: Importing alone works, but any attempt to access or call exports fails with error:

Fantastic minimal reproduction! Thank you @pi0
I suspect this is an issue with workerd itself rather than Miniflare...

[petebacondarwin]

Ideally we need a reproduction that only uses workerd, then I can transfer this over to https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd

[dario-piotrowicz]

I just tried deploying the worker and it actually seems to be working fine in workerd 😕 : https://wasm-bug-worker.dario-piotrowicz.workers.dev/

Could this be related to how Miniflare imports such modules rather than there being something wrong in workerd itself?

[petebacondarwin]

I managed to reproduce this just with workerd: https://github.com/petebacondarwin/toplevel-async-wasm-workerd-repro

So I propose we transfer this issue there...

Interestingly @pi0 - the issue can be avoided if you do not use the async WebAssembly.instantiate() call but instead use the sync new WebAssembly.Instance() constructor.

We've experienced the same error: Async module was not immediately resolved running workerd locally. It seems that top-level await is simply not supported.
