After the dev server parses one regex literal, source injection silently adds zero data-tsd-source attributes to every later file. This PR makes the AST walker skip primitive values, so a cached child key can no longer throw.

🎯 Changes

  • getChildKeys caches the object-valued keys of the first node of each type. A regex Literal has an object value, so value goes into the cache for all Literal nodes.
  • A later string Literal then reaches 'type' in value with a string, which throws TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator. addSourceToJsx catches the error and returns nothing.
  • forEachChild now skips any value that is not an object. Arrays keep their current handling.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Testing

Commands run

Manual test

  1. In a Vite app with devtools(), add a file with a regex literal (const r = /abc/g) and import it before your components.
  2. Before this fix: the page has no data-tsd-source attributes after the dev server parses that file.
  3. After this fix: components get data-tsd-source attributes as before.

How this PR makes testing easy

A unit test in ast-utils.test.ts builds two nodes of one type (object value, then string value) and expects no throw.

Linked issues

Fixes #523

Risk / rollback

Low. The walker only skips values that cannot be AST nodes. To undo, revert this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed an issue where source injection could fail on files containing string literals after the dev server had processed a regex literal.
    • Prevented primitive values encountered during syntax-tree traversal from interrupting processing, helping preserve source annotations on affected files.

getChildKeys caches the object-valued keys of the first node it sees for a
type. A regex Literal has an object `value`, so `value` was cached for every
Literal. A later string Literal then reached `'type' in value` with a string,
which throws. addSourceToJsx catches the error and returns nothing, so after
one regex literal no file got data-tsd-source attributes.

forEachChild now skips every non-object value.

Fixes #523

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

forEachChild now skips cached child-key values that are null or not objects. A regression test covers a string-valued child after an object-valued child on a node of the same type. A changeset declares patch releases for two packages.

  • observed — packages/devtools-bundler-core (library) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in packages/devtools-bundler-core/src/ast-utils.test.ts: Adds a regression test that visits a node with an object-valued value before a same-type node with string-valued value; the second call must not throw and must visit no children.
  • observed — Modified behavior in packages/devtools-bundler-core/src/ast-utils.ts: forEachChild now continues past cached values that are either null or non-objects; previously it continued only for null, allowing primitive values to reach the child-node checks.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .changeset/ast-child-keys-primitive.md: Adds patch-release entries for both packages and a release note describing the reported source-injection issue.

Explanation

Issue #523 requires source injection to continue after a regex literal poisons the cached value key, and it requires failures in addSourceToJsx to be logged. The forEachChild guard skips cached primitive values, and the new regression test covers the poisoned-key traversal case. The PR does not change the silent addSourceToJsx catch or add logging coverage for that failure path.

Source injection no longer stops after the dev server parses a regex literal. Before this fix, one regex literal anywhere in the module graph made every later file get zero `data-tsd-source` attributes.

Narrow the changeset’s impact claim.

The module-scoped cache can cause a later traversal to throw when a cached child key contains a primitive. addSourceToJsx catches that exception and returns for the current file. It does not disable injection for every later file.

Suggested changeset wording
-Source injection no longer stops after the dev server parses a regex literal. Before this fix, one regex literal anywhere in the module graph made every later file get zero `data-tsd-source` attributes.
+Source injection no longer stops when a later AST traversal encounters a primitive under a cached child key. Before this fix, a regex literal could cache `value` for `Literal`; a later file with a string literal could then abort its traversal and receive zero `data-tsd-source` attributes.
