Summary

Fixes an optimization gap in the RSpec helper where server bundle staleness was not detected when using private SSR directories (introduced in PR #1798).

  • Issue: Default webpack_generated_files: ['manifest.json'] configuration only monitored client assets, missing server bundle changes in private ssr-generated/ directory
  • Impact: Tests could run with stale server-side code, leading to incorrect test results
  • Solution: Enhanced ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists to automatically include server bundles and other critical files in monitoring list

Root Cause

PR #1798 moved server bundles to private directories for security, but the RSpec helper optimization continued monitoring only manifest.json by default. This created a gap where:

  1. Server bundle changes in ssr-generated/server-bundle.js
  2. Client assets remain fresh in public/packs-test/manifest.json
  3. RSpec helper reports "no rebuild needed" ❌
  4. Tests run with stale server-side code

Why this worked before: Prior to PR #1798, both client and server bundles were co-located in the same public/packs/ directory, so the RSpec helper's fallback logic would detect server bundle staleness even when only monitoring manifest.json.

Fix Details

Before:

def ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists
  return unless webpack_generated_files.empty?  # ❌ Never runs with default config
  # ...
end

After:

def ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists
  all_required_files = [
    "manifest.json",
    server_bundle_js_file,
    rsc_bundle_js_file,
    react_client_manifest_file,
    react_server_client_manifest_file
  ].compact_blank

  if webpack_generated_files.empty?
    self.webpack_generated_files = all_required_files
  else
    missing_files = all_required_files.reject { |file| webpack_generated_files.include?(file) }
    self.webpack_generated_files += missing_files if missing_files.any?
  end
end

Testing

  • ✅ Comprehensive test coverage added for all scenarios
  • ✅ Verified fix resolves gap with test apps
  • ✅ Backward compatibility maintained
  • ✅ Works across different directory configurations

Test plan

  • RSpec helper correctly detects server bundle staleness with default config
  • Cross-directory monitoring works (client in public/, server in ssr-generated/)
  • Existing configurations continue working unchanged
  • Edge cases handled (nil values, custom configurations)

Fixes #1822

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • More reliable auto-inclusion of required Webpack assets without duplicates.
    • Preserves custom-configured files while adding only missing essentials.
    • Correctly handles absent server bundle or manifests (no nil entries added).
    • Includes RSC bundle when configured.
    • Improves server bundle monitoring behavior for faster RSpec runs.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for asset inclusion, duplication prevention, custom configurations, RSC support, and monitoring across multiple directory setups.

When server bundles are configured for private directories but
webpack_generated_files is set to default ['manifest.json'], the server
bundle was not being monitored for staleness during RSpec test runs.

This change enhances ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists to automatically
include server bundles and other configured bundle files in the monitoring
list.

Fixes #1822
Tests cover various scenarios including:
- Auto-inclusion with default manifest.json configuration
- Empty configuration population
- Duplicate prevention
- Custom file preservation
- Edge cases with nil values
- RSC bundle support
- Server bundle monitoring for RSpec optimization

These tests prevent regression of the optimization gap fix and ensure
the Smart Auto-Inclusion logic works correctly across different
configuration scenarios.

Poem

A nibble of code, a hop through the trails,
I gathered the bundles and followed the rails.
No dupes in my basket, just files that belong—
Manifest whispers, “you’re doing it strong.”
With specs in the meadow, I thump in delight—
All deps accounted, the builds are just right. 🐇✨

Code Review for PR #1838: Fix RSpec helper optimization gap with private SSR directories

Summary

This PR successfully addresses a critical gap in the RSpec helper optimization that emerged after PR #1798's security improvements. The fix ensures server bundles in private directories are properly monitored during test runs, preventing tests from running with stale server-side code.

Strengths

  1. Root Cause Analysis: Excellent identification of the issue - the default webpack_generated_files: ['manifest.json'] configuration was insufficient after server bundles moved to private directories.

  2. Backward Compatibility: The solution maintains full backward compatibility while fixing the gap:

    • Existing configurations continue working unchanged
    • Custom configurations are preserved and augmented
    • No breaking changes for current users
  3. Comprehensive Test Coverage: Outstanding test suite covering:

    • Default configuration scenarios
    • Custom file configurations
    • Edge cases (nil values, RSC bundles)
    • Cross-directory monitoring scenarios
    • Deduplication logic
  4. Clean Implementation: The refactored ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists method is more robust and maintainable than the previous version.

🎯 Code Quality

The implementation follows Ruby best practices:

  • Proper use of compact_blank to handle nil values
  • Efficient deduplication logic using reject and conditional appending
  • Clear variable naming (all_required_files, missing_files)
  • Maintains single responsibility principle

Security Considerations

The fix properly maintains the security improvements from PR #1798:

  • Server bundles remain in private directories
  • No exposure of sensitive server-side code to public directories
  • Monitoring logic doesn't compromise the security architecture

📊 Performance

  • Minimal overhead: The additional file checks during test setup have negligible performance impact
  • Smart deduplication: Prevents redundant file monitoring
  • Efficient array operations: Uses appropriate Ruby methods for filtering and appending

🔍 Potential Enhancements (Optional for future PRs)

  1. Logging: Consider adding debug logging when files are automatically added to webpack_generated_files to help developers understand what's being monitored

  2. Documentation: While the PR description is excellent, consider adding a comment in the code explaining why this automatic inclusion is necessary

Testing Verification

The test suite thoroughly validates:

  • Server bundle detection with default configuration ✓
  • Cross-directory monitoring (client in public/, server in ssr-generated/) ✓
  • Deduplication of entries ✓
  • Preservation of custom configurations ✓
  • Handling of nil/unconfigured values ✓

🎖️ Overall Assessment

APPROVED - This is a well-crafted fix that elegantly solves the optimization gap without introducing complexity or breaking changes. The comprehensive test coverage ensures reliability, and the implementation maintains the security improvements from PR #1798.

The PR demonstrates excellent engineering practices:

  • Clear problem identification
  • Minimal, focused solution
  • Comprehensive testing
  • Backward compatibility
  • Security awareness

Great work on identifying and fixing this subtle but important issue! 🚀

323-336: Make list-building nil-safe and dedupe via set-union; also simplify control flow

Current code raises if webpack_generated_files is nil, and duplicates persist if pre-seeded by users. Prefer treating nil as empty, removing duplicates, and appending missing in one step.

Apply:

-      all_required_files = [
-        "manifest.json",
-        server_bundle_js_file,
-        rsc_bundle_js_file,

-      ].compact_blank
-
-      if webpack_generated_files.empty?
-        self.webpack_generated_files = all_required_files
-      else
-        missing_files = all_required_files.reject { |file| webpack_generated_files.include?(file) }

528-673: Strong coverage of required-file population; add two edge tests

The scenarios look solid and align with the new behavior. Consider adding:

  • A case where webpack_generated_files is nil (ensure nil-safety).
  • A case where webpack_generated_files contains duplicates (ensure de-dup).

Example additions:

+      context "when webpack_generated_files is nil" do
+        it "treats nil as empty and populates required files" do
+          config.webpack_generated_files = nil
+          config.server_bundle_js_file = "server-bundle.js"
+          config.send(:ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists)
+          expect(config.webpack_generated_files).to eq(%w[
+            manifest.json
+            server-bundle.js
+            react-client-manifest.json
+            react-server-client-manifest.json
+          ])
+        end
+      end
+
+      context "when webpack_generated_files has duplicates" do
+        it "does not keep duplicate entries after ensuring required files" do
+          config.webpack_generated_files = %w[manifest.json manifest.json server-bundle.js]
+          config.send(:ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists)
+          expect(config.webpack_generated_files.count("manifest.json")).to eq(1)
+        end
+      end

@justin808 justin808 self-assigned this Nov 19, 2025
The compact_blank method used in ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists
was introduced in Rails 6.1. By requiring active_support/core_ext/enumerable,
we ensure this method is available in Rails 5.2-6.0 environments.

Code Review - PR #1838

Thank you for working on this important optimization fix! The PR addresses a real gap in server bundle staleness detection. However, I've identified a critical bug that will cause the code to fail.


🔴 Critical Issue: Undefined Methods

Location: lib/react_on_rails/configuration.rb:366-368

The ensure_webpack_generated_files_exists method references three methods that do not exist in the open-source ReactOnRails::Configuration class:

rsc_bundle_js_file,
react_client_manifest_file,
react_server_client_manifest_file

These methods are only defined in ReactOnRailsPro::Configuration (see react_on_rails_pro/lib/react_on_rails_pro/configuration.rb:72-73), not in the open-source configuration class.

Impact: This will cause a NoMethodError when the code runs without the Pro package installed, breaking all non-Pro users.

Test Evidence: The tests in spec/react_on_rails/configuration_spec.rb manually set these attributes on the config object:

config.rsc_bundle_js_file = nil
config.react_client_manifest_file = "react-client-manifest.json"
config.react_server_client_manifest_file = "react-server-client-manifest.json"

This works in tests because RSpec allows setting arbitrary attributes, but will fail in production.

Recommended Fix

Add these attributes to the open-source ReactOnRails::Configuration class:

# In lib/react_on_rails/configuration.rb
class Configuration
  attr_accessor :node_modules_location, :server_bundle_js_file, :prerender, :replay_console,
                # ... existing attributes ...
                :server_bundle_output_path, :enforce_private_server_bundles,
                :rsc_bundle_js_file, :react_client_manifest_file,  # ADD THESE
                :react_server_client_manifest_file                  # ADD THESE

And initialize them in the initialize method and default configuration (lines 16-53).


✅ Positive Aspects

  1. Well-documented issue: The PR description clearly explains the root cause and impact
  2. Comprehensive test coverage: Tests cover all edge cases (empty config, custom files, nil values, RSC support)
  3. Backward compatible: The logic preserves custom configurations while adding missing files
  4. Proper use of compact_blank: Correctly filters out nil values (requires ActiveSupport import, which is correctly added)
  5. No duplication: The reject logic prevents duplicate entries

📋 Other Observations

Code Quality

  • Clean implementation: The refactored logic is more explicit and easier to understand
  • Good separation: Building all_required_files separately makes the intent clear
  • Proper ActiveSupport dependency: require "active_support/core_ext/enumerable" correctly added for compact_blank

Testing

  • Thorough coverage: Tests validate all scenarios mentioned in the PR description
  • Clear test names: Each context describes exactly what scenario is being tested
  • Integration tests: Tests simulate real-world scenarios (cross-directory monitoring)

Documentation

  • No CHANGELOG entry: Per CLAUDE.md, this appears to be a bug fix that should have a CHANGELOG entry
    • Format: [PR 1838](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/pull/1838) by [ihabadham](https://github.com/ihabadham)
    • Should describe the bug fix for users

🔧 Required Changes Before Merge

  1. CRITICAL: Add the three missing attributes to ReactOnRails::Configuration
  2. CRITICAL: Initialize these attributes with appropriate defaults (likely nil for open-source, with Pro overriding)
  3. Add CHANGELOG entry describing the bug fix
  4. Verify tests pass with the new attributes properly defined

🔒 Security & Performance

  • ✅ No security concerns
  • ✅ No performance impact (runs once during configuration)
  • ✅ No backwards compatibility issues (additive change)

Summary

This is a valuable fix for an important optimization gap, but requires the critical bug fix mentioned above before it can be safely merged. Once the missing attributes are added to the open-source Configuration class, this will be ready to go.

Let me know if you need any clarification on the required changes!
