fix(frontend): re-canonicalise the code buffer after a successful commit (DOPE-622) - #1122
Conversation
Both dual-mode editors kept the user's typed text after committing, while the document the LSP analyses is always the canonical serialisation. Any non-canonical form the user typed — `Count:INT;`, a different indent — left the two textually apart, and the drift guards then blanked the semantic tokens (per line in the variables view, whole-buffer in the `.dt` view) and made Format Document a no-op, until a toggle to the table and back regenerated the text. Both commit paths now replace the buffer with the canonical text and move their watermarks to it. A failed commit still leaves the typed text untouched. The blur effect no longer re-assigns the variables view's watermark once the commit resolves: it closed over the pre-commit text, so it would have undone the regeneration and made the next blur re-commit a no-op and push a second undo entry. The commit owns the watermark now. `restoreBufferName` follows the same rule rather than preserving the typed text through a rename, so every successful commit leaves the same canonical buffer whichever path produced it.

WalkthroughData type and variables editor commits now replace accepted input with canonical serialized text. Parsed watermarks use that canonical text to prevent duplicate commits. Tests cover successful canonicalization, syntax failures, rename restoration, and repeated blur behavior. ChangesCanonical editor commits

`.finally()` re-raises the original rejection, so discarding its promise with `void` would surface a rejected commit as an unhandled rejection. The `.dt` view already releases through `then(release, release)`; this brings the variables view in line with it.

Verdict: approve
Reviewed at 0dba5417 against DOPE-622's acceptance criteria, both changed views read in full, plus the store actions behind them. The change is exactly the one the card decided on, the failure path is intact, and moving the watermark into the commit is the right call — keeping the assignment in the blur effect would have pinned the pre-commit text and re-committed a no-op, which is the trap the card explicitly called out.
Acceptance criteria
| Criterion | Status |
|---|---|
| Buffer equals the canonical serialisation after a successful commit | Met — data-type/index.tsx:143-146, variables-editor/index.tsx:968-971; one test per view |
| A failed commit leaves the typed text in place | Met — rejectBuffer returns before commitParsedDataType; the catch in commitCode returns false before the new block; one test per view, both asserting the toast so the commit is known to have been attempted |
| No extra undo entry on the next blur | Met — the watermark now holds the canonical text, so the blur guard short-circuits; one test per view |
| Both views behave the same way | Met on the success path; see finding 1 for the failure path |
| Colours recover and Format Document applies without toggling | Not automatable here (Monaco/LSP), taken from the manual validation in the description |
What I checked beyond the tests
- No drift-back on the
.dtside.setEditorCode(canonical)lands whilemodelCodeis still the typed text, so the adopt-from-store effect could have overwritten it. It does not: that effect is keyed onmodelCode, which has not changed at that point, and by the time it does the mirror effect has already movedlastMirroredCodeRefto the canonical text. SettinglastMirroredCodeRefinside the commit is what makes that safe, not redundant. - Canonical text matches the stored type.
createDatatype/updateDatatypestore the object verbatim (project/slice.ts:1454-1490), so serialising the parsed object is equivalent to serialising the stored one. The variables side takes the stricter route and re-readsfreshVariablesfrom the store, which it has to, sincesetPouVariablesreconciles debug flags and refused type changes. - Toggle path unaffected.
handleVisualizationTypeChangecommits first and then switches; the table-mode reseed effect regenerates fromtableDataright after, so the extrasetEditorCodeis a no-op there. - CI: all jobs green on both repos, including shared-surface sync. Mirror PR openplc-web#768 diffs byte-identical to this one.
Findings — none blocking
| # | Severity | Location | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | nit | variables-editor/index.tsx:291-294 |
The variables view has no lastRejectedCodeRef guard, which the .dt view does (data-type/index.tsx:232-235). After a rejected commit, every further blur re-parses the same text, re-raises the Syntax error toast and pushes another entry through the pushToHistory at the top of commitCode (:760). Pre-existing and outside this card's scope, but "both views behave the same way" is an acceptance criterion, so it is worth a follow-up card rather than silence. |
| 2 | nit | utils/PLC/data-type-text-parser.ts |
With restoreBufferName rewritten, rewriteDeclaredTypeName has no production caller left — only __tests__/data-type-text-parser.test.ts:11 imports it. Either drop it with its suite or leave a line saying why it is kept. |
| 3 | nit | variables-editor/index.tsx:968-970 |
setEditorCode(canonical) can run after await askRenameBlocks() / askTypeChange(). If the active POU changed while a modal was open, the canonical text of the previous POU would land in the current POU's buffer. I could not produce it — the modal holds the interaction — so this is a note, not a defect. |
| 4 | nit | generate-iec-variables-to-string.ts:74-80 |
Re-canonicalisation necessarily drops whatever the model does not carry: a multi-line doc comment collapses to one line, and any comment not attached to a declaration goes. The table toggle already did this, so it is not a regression, but it now happens on every blur — worth one line in the release note, and DOPE-552's known-limitation note should be retired now that this is fixed. |
On the open CodeRabbit thread
The outside-diff comment asking the variables suite to assert the stored model is, I think, already covered: canonicalOf() reads the POU back out of the store and the test asserts bufferText() === canonical plus canonical !== TYPED. A commit that updated editorCode without reaching the store would produce the empty VAR/END_VAR canonical and fail on the first assertion. Adding an explicit variables assertion would still read better — your call; it does not hold the merge.
2 participants
DOPE-622, the last of the DOPE-385
.dtmigration spin-offs. Pre-existing on both views; DOPE-552 documented it as a known limitation.The problem
Both dual-mode editors kept the user's typed text after a successful commit, while the document the LSP analyses is always the canonical serialisation (
generateIecVariablesToString/serializeDataTypeToText). Only the table → code toggle regenerated the buffer.So a legal but non-canonical form —
Count:INT;, a different indent, a missing space — left buffer and document textually apart, and the drift guards then punished it:pouvars-context.ts:57passeskeepLine: modelMatchesDocumentLines(...), so a drifted line loses its colours. In the.dtview the guard is whole-buffer, so the entire view goes flat.Both recovered only by toggling to the table and back.
The decision
Rewriting the user's text on blur is a product behaviour, not a fix detail, so the card was explicitly gated on it. Decided: regenerate on commit, matching what the toggle already does. A failed commit still leaves the typed text exactly as typed.
The change
commitParsedDataTypeandcommitCodereplace the buffer with the canonical text and move their watermarks (lastParsedCodeRef, andlastMirroredCodeRefon the.dtside) to it.lastParsedCodeRefonce the commit resolves. It closed over the pre-commiteditorCode, so it would have undone the regeneration, and the next blur would have re-committed a no-op and pushed a second undo entry — the trap the card called out. The commit owns the watermark now.restoreBufferNamefollows the same rule instead of preserving the typed text through a rename, so every successful commit leaves the same canonical buffer whichever path produced it. That drops the last use ofrewriteDeclaredTypeNamehere, and its import.Tests
One suite per view, three cases each, mapped to the acceptance criteria: canonical text after a successful commit, typed text untouched after a failed one (asserting the syntax-error toast so the commit is known to have been attempted and rejected), and no extra
undoRedoentry on the following blur.Two existing rename tests changed. They asserted the buffer kept the typed 4-space form after a cancelled or refused rename — exactly the behaviour this decision reverses. They now compare against the serializer through a
canonicalOfhelper; their real assertions (name restored toMotor, body edit survived) are untouched.Note the tests read the buffer from the active editor rather than the
editorsarray:updateModelStructureForNamewrites tostate.editorwhile a model is active, leaving theeditorscopy stale.Validation
pnpm run testexit 0, coverage thresholds mettsc --noEmitexit 0compare-surfaces.pyManually validated in the editor against a purpose-built fixture (
plc-projects/dope-622-recanonicalisation, struct + enum + array data types and a POU with mixed-class variables), covering re-canonicalisation, colour recovery without toggling, Format Document, the failed-commit path, undo depth, and both rename outcomes.One thing worth knowing for future shared tests: the first version of these used
toHaveValue, which passes under web's vitest and fails under the editor's jest (expect(...).toHaveValue is not a function) because that setup does not load jest-dom. Replaced with a plain.valueread.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
