Why

The last README roadmap item. When a Pull deleted a file that was open in an editor tab, the reload afterwards showed Pybricks' "An unexpected error occurred … file with uuid '…' not found" toast, with a Report Bug button. It auto-dismisses after 5 s. If the deleted file was the only open tab, nothing overwrote the stale entry, so the toast came back on every reload.

Cause

Pybricks remembers open tabs as a JSON array of file uuids in sessionStorage, under editor.activeFileHistory.<window.name>.<editorId> (ActiveFileHistoryManager, pybricks-code src/editor/lib.ts, which matches the deployed bundle). It reopens each one on load. apply-files deletes the file's metadata row, but that history still named its uuid, so the reopen failed in fileStorageLoadTextFile and editorDidFailToOpenFile turned into the toast.

Fix

  • src/pullmerge.js, pure and unit-tested:
    • deletedUuids(metadata, keptPaths) finds the uuids apply-files is about to delete.
    • pruneTabHistory / planTabPrunes(entries, uuids) plan removing them from every open-tab history key, returning [[key, newValue]]. Unrelated keys and non-array values are left alone, and only keys that change are rewritten. content.js does the actual sessionStorage reads and writes, so pullmerge.js stays I/O-free.
  • src/content.js (pull()) computes the uuids before the apply. It prunes inside the reload timer, immediately before location.reload(), because the page's in-memory history rewrites the key whenever a tab opens or closes, which could undo an earlier prune. The prune is wrapped in try/catch; if storage is unavailable, the worst case is Pybricks' own toast.

No React/Redux internals are involved, only the sessionStorage key Pybricks reads on load.

Tests

  • Unit: 5 new tests in test/pullmerge.test.mjs. 217/217 pass.
  • E2E: in the drive.mjs merge step, keep.py and gone.py are opened as editor tabs before the Pull, and toasts are recorded from page load via Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument, because they auto-dismiss. After the reload it asserts:
    • no "not found" toast,
    • gone.py is gone from the tab history,
    • keep.py is still in it.
  • Negative control: with the prune disabled, the toast assertion fails and shows the exact toast. The history assertion alone would not catch it, because Pybricks rewrites the history from memory after reopening keep.py, but only after it has already toasted. The test says so, and checks the toast first.
  • drive-menu.mjs and drive-splice.mjs still pass.

Docs: CLAUDE.md ("Pull merges" section), e2e README, and the README roadmap, which is now empty.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Pull no longer restores editor tabs for files that were deleted.
    • Existing tabs for retained files remain available after reload.
    • Prevented stale “file not found” notifications from appearing for deleted files.
    • Cleanup failures no longer block the reload process.
  • Documentation

    • Updated Pull behavior documentation and roadmap to reflect the current open-tab cleanup behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying deleted tabs are removed while retained tabs remain remembered.

Pybricks remembers open editor tabs as file uuids in sessionStorage
(editor.activeFileHistory.<window.name>.<editorId>) and reopens them
after a reload. A tab whose file the Pull deleted failed that reopen
with an "unexpected error ... file with uuid '...' not found" toast.

pull() now computes the uuids apply-files will delete
(pullmerge.js:deletedUuids) and prunes them from every open-tab history
key (pruneOpenTabs) inside the reload timer, immediately before
location.reload(), so the page's in-memory history can't rewrite them.

The drive.mjs merge step opens gone.py and keep.py as tabs before the
Pull and records toasts from page load; with the prune disabled it
fails on the toast.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change separates pure tab-history pruning plans from sessionStorage I/O. Pull applies planned rewrites before reload, and tests verify deleted tabs are removed while retained tabs remain.

Changes

Deleted tab history cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pure history pruning
src/pullmerge.js, test/load-pullmerge.mjs, test/pullmerge.test.mjs
planTabPrunes returns only changed history rewrites. Tests cover deleted UUID filtering, unchanged histories, invalid values, and empty input.
Pull reload integration
src/content.js, CLAUDE.md
pull reads and writes sessionStorage immediately before reload. Storage errors are logged, and reload continues. Documentation describes the separated responsibilities.
Reload behavior validation
test/e2e/drive.mjs, test/e2e/README.md
The end-to-end test confirms that deleted gone.py is removed from history, retained keep.py remains, and no missing-file toast appears after reload.
Documentation state
README.md
The roadmap states that nothing is currently queued.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to acef7

Deleted tab histories are pruned without altering unrelated entries, and Pull still reloads when sessionStorage cleanup fails.

Comment thread src/pullmerge.js Outdated
CodeRabbit: pullmerge.js is a pure-helper file. pruneOpenTabs(storage)
becomes planTabPrunes(entries, uuids) -> [[key, newValue]]; content.js
reads the entries and writes the planned values.
