Research direction

Start with the wasm2js-generated JavaScript files in the linked gist and the referenced algokit-core revision, then reproduce the async Rust-to-JavaScript callback path with wasm-pack output. Compare the failing wasm2js module with the working WASM module around makeMutClosure and __wbindgen_export_3. Done means the async path no longer reaches an undefined function table.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A wasm2js-transpiled JS module is throwing an error after an async call, but the WASM binary is working just fine. The wasm binary is compiled from a rust crate using wasm-bindgen and then built with wasm-pack. For some context, this async call is to a Rust function that then makes a async call back into JS before returning.

The error in particular is

# Unhandled error between tests
-------------------------------
152 |         try {
153 |             return f(a, state.b, ...args);
154 |         } finally {
155 |             if (--state.cnt === 0) {
156 |                 console.debug("In makeMutClosure", {export3: wasm$1.__wbindgen_export_3, wasm1: wasm$1});
157 |                 wasm$1.__wbindgen_export_3.get(state.dtor)(a, state.b);
                             ^
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'wasm$1.__wbindgen_export_3.get')
      at real (/Users/joe/git/algorandfoundation/algokit-core/packages/typescript/algokit_utils/dist/algokit_utils.wasm2js.mjs:157:24)

To be clear, the code after the async function still runs, so this seems to be happening async somewhere. Adding a debug statement to this finally block I can see, export 3, which is the function table, is indeed undefined.

In makeMutClosure {
  export3: undefined,
  wasm1: [Object: null prototype] {
    __wbg_composer_free: [Function: $174],
    __wbindgen_add_to_stack_pointer: [Function: $413],
    __wbindgen_export_0: [Function: $330],
    __wbindgen_export_1: [Function: $341],
    __wbindgen_export_2: [Function: $390],
    __wbindgen_export_4: [Function: $375],

    memory: {
      grow: [Function: __wasm_memory_grow],
      buffer: [Getter],
    },
  },
}

The same debug statement when using the WASM binary:

In makeMutClosure {
  export3: Table {
    length: 225,
    grow: [Function: grow],
    get: [Function: get],
    set: [Function: set],
