fix(web): open code blocks and diffs follow a changed word wrap default #35922

Mergedjuliusmarmingemerged 2 commits intomain fromrefs/pull/35922/headmerged by juliusmarminge View on GitHub

juliusmarmingecommented

Chat code blocks (MarkdownCodeBlock), the diff panel (DiffPanel) and the pull request Code tab (PullRequestCodeTab) copied the wordWrap client setting into local state when they mounted (useState(getClientSettings().wordWrap) / useState(settings.wordWrap)), so changing the Settings default never reached views that were already open. Each now reads the setting live (useClientSettings selector; DiffPanel and PullRequestCodeTab already subscribed to it) and keeps only a nullable per-view override: wrap = override ?? default. This is the same pattern FilePreviewPanel and AttachmentFilePreview already use. The wrap toggles and the PR tab's 'Wrap lines' menu item now set the override, so a block the user flipped keeps the user's choice, and every other view follows the default. There is no other visible change. No new regex or parser.

Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#35898

Reproduction on main

On origin/main 8a227eba4e: started the web dev server with T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 (fresh database), added a scratch git project and started a Replay (dev) 'showcase' thread via t3 thread start --provider devReplay --model showcase, whose reply contains a ts code block. Drove the web app with Playwright: opened the thread with Word wrap at its default (on); the code block had data-wrap="true" and its button read 'Disable line wrap' (pressed). Navigated in-app to Settings > Appearance and switched off 'Wrap code, diffs, and file previews by default' (aria-checked true -> false). Went back to the thread: it was the same mounted DOM node, still data-wrap="true" with 'Disable line wrap' pressed. After a page reload the block showed data-wrap="false" and 'Wrap lines' (unpressed). Also wrote a browser test (apps/web/src/components/chat/MarkdownCodeBlock.browser.test.tsx) that mounts a code block with wordWrap=false, persists wordWrap=true through persistClientSettingsPatch and expects the block to wrap. It fails on main at that assertion and passes with a live-default-plus-local-override implementation (tried locally, not committed). The diff panel and PR Code tab paths were confirmed by reading the code only, not run.

Evidence

  1. Seed identical fresh databases with a scratch git project, two long Replay code blocks, and an uncommitted long-line diff.
  2. Flip the second block’s local wrap toggle off. Change the Appearance default off, close Settings, then change it back on without reloading.
  3. Repeat default changes with the Diff panel open, then verify its local override survives default off/on.
  4. Keep PR Code mounted while changing Settings in a second tab. Inspect its wide toolbar and narrow checkbox, then exercise overrides through both controls.

Both sides use Chrome and a light theme. Chat/diff and wide PR captures are 1280 × 1100; narrow PR menus and default-on Settings captures are 900 × 1100. PR data uses an isolated synthetic GitHub API fixture. PR recordings follow Code while the second tab changes Settings.

Base keeps the old wrapping in all three views; head follows the changed default. Local overrides survive subsequent default changes. The chat nodes remain mounted, the first block stays at y=161.1875 through Settings changes, and the composer remains fully visible. Every still passed the two-identical-screenshots check at least 500 ms apart.

Tests

Repro test vp test run src/components/chat/MarkdownCodeBlock.browser.test.tsx: fails on the base commit without the fix ('Matcher did not succeed in time'), passes with it (1/1). vp test run src/components/DiffPanel.browser.test.tsx src/components/pullRequest/PullRequestCodeTab.browser.test.tsx: 11/11 pass. vp run check:changed: all pass (format, lint, knip, typecheck of 2 packages, tests, react compiler). The DiffPanel and PullRequestCodeTab changes were not run in the real app.

Not in this change

  • PullRequestCodeTab copies diffIgnoreWhitespace into local state the same way (useState(settings.diffIgnoreWhitespace)), so it also ignores later changes to that setting; the issue only covers word wrap, so I left it alone.

      Verdict: Approved at 7e9dcb2

      Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Open code blocks and diffs now follow changes to the existing word-wrap preference while preserving local overrides. This is a presentation-only update; it does not change the configured product default or persisted data.

      Explanation

      The title names the main change: open code blocks and diffs now follow a changed word-wrap default. The description and objectives confirm that MarkdownCodeBlock, DiffPanel and PullRequestCodeTab now read the wordWrap setting live and keep only a nullable per-view override. The title is specific and follows the conventional commit style from the template. It does not list every file, which is expected.

      Full details: Linked Issues check

      Explanation

      Issue #35898 requires three things: (1) open chat code blocks, diff panes, and PR Code tabs follow the global word-wrap default when they have no local override; (2) each view keeps its own wrap override; (3) the mount-time-only settings state is fixed. The PR addresses all three. MarkdownCodeBlock.tsx now reads the default through useClientSettings((s) => s.wordWrap) and stores a nullable wrapOverride, with wrapped = wrapOverride ?? defaultWrapped. The toggle sets the override. Per the PR summary, DiffPanel.tsx and PullRequestCodeTab.tsx apply the same nullable-override pattern, and the PR Code tab 'Wrap lines' item sets the override. The chat block path has a browser test (MarkdownCodeBlock.browser.test.tsx) that reproduces the stale state on the base and passes with the change. The diff and PR tab paths are supported by source reading only, which matches the issue's own note. The issue's requirements are coding requirements, so no non-coding items apply.

      Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

      Explanation

      All changed files are the three word-wrap views (MarkdownCodeBlock.tsx, DiffPanel.tsx, PullRequestCodeTab.tsx) and one browser test for the chat block. The diff of MarkdownCodeBlock.tsx shows only the import swap from getClientSettings to useClientSettings, the nullable override state, and the toggle change. Each change connects directly to issue #35898. The PR description names the diffIgnoreWhitespace copy in PullRequestCodeTab as a known related issue and leaves it unchanged, which is correct because it is outside the word-wrap scope.

      Full details: Description check

      Explanation

      The description is thorough and follows the repository template. It has a clear problem statement tied to issue #35898, a precise change explanation covering all three components, and a scope that links the issue. Verification is detailed: a reproduction on main with observed before/after results, a repro browser test that fails on base and passes with the fix, a 11/11 test run for DiffPanel and PullRequestCodeTab, and a full check:changed pass. It states that the DiffPanel and PullRequestCodeTab changes were not run in the real app. Before/after screenshots and recordings are embedded. The author also names the model and harness used. The description is mostly complete and the verification is specific, so the check passes.

      Use browser assertions for both data-wrap checks.

      Replace the direct getAttribute assertions with awaited expect.element(...).toHaveAttribute(...) assertions. Keep both checks in this test.

      As per coding guidelines, “Browser tests assert through expect.element or vi.waitFor.” The path instructions require the same assertion APIs.
