title: Bail early with the Bun test runner
sidebarTitle: Bail early
mode: center
---

Use the `--bail` flag to abort a test run after the first failure, so a continuous integration run fails as early as possible.

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
bun test --bail
```

---

To bail after a certain number of failures, pass a number after the flag.

```sh terminal icon="terminal"
# bail after 10 failures
bun test --bail=10
```
