fix(store): warn before deleting a data type that is still referenced (DOPE-553)#1099JoaoGSP wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
… (DOPE-553) Deleting a data type has never consulted its references: `deleteDatatype` queued the `.dt` path and dropped the entry, leaving every POU variable, global, list member and struct field that named it pointing at nothing. DOPE-536 built a reference finder, an impact modal and a propagation pass, but wired them to rename only. `datatypeActions.deleteRequest` now runs `findAllReferencesToDataType` and, when the type is still referenced, parks the request in `pendingDatatypeDelete` and shows the impact modal instead of the generic confirm dialog, so one dialog answers the delete rather than two. Confirm runs the existing unconditional `delete` and toasts the count that went stale; cancel changes nothing. The references are left in place on purpose: a cascade would delete the user's own variables and fields, and refusing the delete outright would block the legitimate delete-then-fix workflow. `delete` itself stays unguarded, so the gate covers the project tree and the Delete-key accelerator alike. The shared impact modal grew `description` and `confirmDescription` props; its fallback copy and its confirm bullet were hard-coded rename wording. The silence this card reports is upstream and is filed as RTOP-286: strucpp merges every open document into one AST and skips its whole semantic validation pass whenever type checking errored anywhere, so the datatypes document publishes nothing rather than reporting the dangling reference.

Mirror of https://github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web/pull/748 — I compared the two diffs directly and they are byte-identical, so this review applies verbatim.
Review — the gate is right; one acceptance criterion does not ship here
Small, well-shaped change. The gate reuses DOPE-536's machinery exactly as the card suggested, the store logic is six lines of real behaviour with both guard branches tested, and the decision to leave references dangling rather than cascade is argued rather than assumed — a cascade would delete the user's own variables and struct fields, and refusing outright would block the delete-then-fix workflow. I agree with both calls.
What I verified
- Mirror. I compared the two PR diffs directly rather than relying on the sync check: byte-identical. All six files are on the shared surface.
- The reference gate.
deleteRequestrunsfindAllReferencesToDataTypeacross POUs, resource globals, other data types and global variable lists, parks the request ontotalReferences > 0, and otherwise falls through to today's confirm dialog. One dialog per delete, never two. - The response path.
respondToPendingDeleteclears the pending state before dispatching the delete, which is the right order — the modal cannot re-enter while the delete runs. - The shared modal stays backwards compatible.
descriptionandconfirmDescriptionare both optional,confirmDescriptiondefaults to the exact string that was hard-coded before, and an undefineddescriptionfalls through to the existinghasMultipleChangesbranch. The rename modal renders identically to before. - The toast cannot lie.
handleConfirmtoasts unconditionally afterrespondToPendingDelete(true), which would be a problem if the delete could fail — it cannot.deleteElementis a sequence of void calls with no failure path, so "Data type deleted" is always true when it is shown. The singular/plural split on the reference count is a nice touch. - Tests. Six cases covering both guard branches, not just the happy path: the park, confirm, cancel, the second-request guard,
respondToPendingDeletewith nothing pending, and the unreferenced type skipping the modal entirely. - CI green on both PRs.
CodeRabbit's Major does not hold
It asks for produce() on the two pending-delete transitions. I would leave them exactly as they are, for two reasons. Functionally, both are top-level key replacements and not nested mutations, which is precisely what Zustand's shallow-merging setState is for; Immer would add a draft and buy nothing. And for consistency, the sibling rename path this change deliberately mirrors already does the same thing — setState({ pendingDatatypeRename: … }) at slice.ts:630 and setState({ pendingDatatypeRename: null }) at :652. Changing only the delete side would make the two halves of one pattern disagree.
The one thing worth deciding before this closes the card
DOPE-553 is titled "Deleting a referenced data type silently kills LSP analysis of every data type", and its second acceptance criterion reads "after a confirmed delete, diagnostics for the remaining data types keep working, and the dangling references are reported somewhere the user can see".
The second half ships: the modal lists the references before the delete, and the toast counts them after. The first half does not, and the description says so plainly — it is upstream in strucpp, filed as RTOP-286, verified against the pinned v0.6.6. So after a confirmed delete, when a POU body still type-checks against the missing type, the whole TYPE…END_TYPE document goes quiet exactly as the card describes.
That is not a defect in this PR, and I would not hold the merge for it — the editor-side gate is the right half to ship first, and it is the half that stops a user reaching that state by accident. But the card cannot be closed as Done on this PR alone. Either the criterion gets amended to what this delivers with RTOP-286 tracking the remainder, or DOPE-553 stays open behind it. Worth settling now rather than at release.
Nit
deleteRequest guards against a second delete while one is pending, and the rename path guards against a second rename, but neither guards against the other kind. Both modals mount unconditionally from app-layout.tsx and key off their own pending state, so a pending rename and a pending delete would stack two dialogs. I could not construct the interaction — the rename modal is a blocking overlay, so reaching the tree or the Delete accelerator underneath it is not obvious — which is why this is a nit and not a finding. A shared "something is already awaiting confirmation" guard would close it cheaply if you think it is reachable.
…DOPE-553) `clearStatesOnCloseProject` cleared fifteen slices and neither pending confirmation, while both impact modals mount unconditionally and key off their own pending state. A delete parked in one project therefore stayed actionable across an open or an in-place reload, and confirming it ran the unconditional delete against whatever type now carried that name. The rename half had the same hole plus a resolver that was never fired, so its caller's await never settled. Teardown now clears both and cancels a parked rename rather than dropping it. `deleteRequest` and `rename` also refuse while the other kind is awaiting confirmation, so the two modals cannot stack.

Thanks — thorough, and the nit turned out to be the more valuable half. The nit was real. Chasing it led to a genuine bug next door: On CodeRabbit's Immer Major — agreed, and declined for the reasons you gave. Top-level key replacement, and converting only the delete half would split the pattern. On the acceptance criterion — agreed, and it is now tracked rather than argued: the strucpp fix is open as STruCpp #235. Root-causing it found something worse than expected. The silence is not only about deletes: strucpp gates its whole semantic validation pass on the type checker having produced no errors, and since the language server merges every open document into one AST, any type error anywhere suppressed One thing your review got right that I want to record: |

Mirror of https://github.com/Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web/pull/748 — diffs verified byte-identical.
Approving — the follow-up is verified, and the nit was worth more than the review
Checked 5a5d9d57 against the code rather than the summary. Everything from the first round is closed, and the teardown work is a bigger win than the original gate.
The nit was a live data-loss bug. clearStatesOnCloseProject cleared fifteen slices and neither pending confirmation, while both impact modals mount unconditionally from app-layout.tsx and handleOpenProjectResponse runs teardown on every open and in-place reload. So a delete parked in one project survived the switch and, once confirmed, deleted whatever type carried that name in the next one. The rename half carried the same hole plus a resolver that was never fired, stranding its caller's await — pre-existing since DOPE-536, so this PR also closes a latent defect that was not its own.
The fix is in the right place and in the right order. It captures the pending rename, clears both states, then resolves with false; rename then returns cancelled without mutating anything. It sits at the top of teardown, before clearEditor(), so the confirmation is answered before the rest of the world comes down — and it lives inside the function rather than at the three call sites, so any future caller inherits it. The mutual guards in deleteRequest and rename close the stacking, and generalising the message from "rename" to "change" is right now that either kind can block the other.
The tests hold up. The rename guard asserts identity (toBe(pendingRename)) rather than merely non-null, and every test that opens a promise settles it rather than leaking it. On the one described as hanging without the fix: it is await expect(rename).resolves.toEqual(…), so in practice it trips vitest's timeout and fails — it does not wedge the suite, which is the behaviour you want from a regression guard.
CodeRabbit's Immer Major stays declined for the reasons given, and its own follow-up confirms the teardown change. Mirror byte-identical, CI green on both.
One thing to carry into the release, not a code item
The second acceptance criterion is now tracked rather than argued, which is the right outcome — STruCpp #235 holds the remainder and DOPE-553 stays open behind it. Worth repeating where the release will see it: that criterion is only satisfied in a shipped build once #235 becomes a v0.6.7 cut and binary-versions.json is bumped in both repositories. Merging these two does not close the card, and the card should not be swept to Done with them.
The root cause being broader than deletes — strucpp gating its whole semantic pass on the type checker being clean, so any type error anywhere suppressed Undefined type project-wide — is worth keeping visible on #235, since it means the fix is worth more than this card alone suggests.

Closes DOPE-553.
The defect
Deleting a data type never consulted its references.
deleteDatatypequeued the.dtpath and dropped the entry, leaving every POU variable, resource global, global variable list member and struct field that named the type pointing at nothing, with no warning. DOPE-536 built the reference finder, the impact modal and the propagation pass, but wired them to rename only.The change
datatypeActions.deleteRequestnow runsfindAllReferencesToDataType. When the type is still referenced it parks the request inpendingDatatypeDeleteand shows the impact modal instead of the generic confirm dialog, so a delete is answered by one dialog rather than two. Confirm runs the existing unconditionaldeleteand toasts how many references went stale; cancel changes nothing. An unreferenced type keeps today's silent, immediate path.The references are left dangling on purpose. A cascade would delete the user's own variables and struct fields, and refusing the delete outright would block the legitimate delete-then-fix-the-users workflow.
deleteitself stays unguarded, so the gate covers the project tree context menu and the Delete-key accelerator alike, and the finder already covers global variable lists, so those come along for free.The shared impact modal gained
descriptionandconfirmDescriptionprops: its fallback copy and its confirm bullet were hard-coded rename wording.Known limitation, not fixed here
The card reports that diagnostics for every data type go silent after such a delete. That is upstream, filed as RTOP-286. strucpp merges every open document into one AST and skips its entire semantic validation pass whenever type checking errored anywhere, so the synthesized datatypes document publishes an empty array instead of reporting the dangling reference. Verified against the pinned v0.6.6 build. Until that ships, the card's "diagnostics keep working after a confirmed delete" criterion holds only when no POU body type-checks against the missing type.
