Can't the user agent abort a module evaluation after the first await? Unless I'm missing something, in that case evaluationPromise would never resolve.

Hmm, very interesting. So an instance of the case we're wondering about is

<script type="module">
try {
  await import("./bad.mjs");
} catch (e) {
  // e should ideally be a "QuotaExceededError" DOMException
}
</script>
// bad.mjs
await 1;
while (true) { }
await 2;

Any ideas what implementations are planning to do, @codehag and @camillobruni?

Good find! I tested in Chrome that an infinite looping module can hang the renderer when dynamically imported. The slow script killer doesn't kill dynamic imports correctly, even without top-level await. That is, the following also hangs:

<script>
(async function() {
  await import("./bad.mjs");
} catch (e) {
  // e should ideally be a "QuotaExceededError" DOMException
}
})();
</script>
// bad.mjs
while (true) { }

I can confirm that firefox has the same behavior as what @syg described for chrome above: both the test cases result in the tab hanging.

We do show a user prompt however, about a slow script and let the user respond. When the user responds on the second use case, the script is stopped and the page becomes usable again. Crashes with TLA though.

The bug tracking this on the firefox side is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1681664

Alright. A simpler example without dynamic import is the following:

<script>
window.onerror = event => {
  console.log(event.error); // should ideally log a "QuotaExceededError" DOMException
};
</script>

<script type="module">
await 1;
while (true) { }
</script>

I'll try and work on some spec text giving UAs license to terminate top-level-await using scripts in the same way they are currently given license to terminate other scripts, and I'll be sure it also covers dynamic import(). I might merge this first if the fix seems especially separable.

This is looking like more of a mess than I thought. The script-killing section of the spec isn't very well defined or aligned with UAs; e.g. as far as I can tell from Chrome it kills the entire process after prompting, which is not really allowed by the current spec text. And we're not sure if any browser actually bothers with the "QuotaExceededError" DOMException business.

So I'll merge this as-is and file a followup bug.
