Summary

This PR implements TypeScript version compatibility checking, ported from @typescript-eslint/typescript-estree's version-check.ts.

What's Included

  • Version Package: New internal/typescript-estree/version/ package with complete implementation
  • Semantic Versioning: Integration with Masterminds/semver for robust version parsing and comparison
  • Version Detection: Automatic TypeScript version detection and validation
  • Compatibility Warnings: Clear warnings for unsupported TypeScript versions
  • Feature Flags: TypeScriptVersionIsAtLeast map for version-dependent features
  • Comprehensive Tests: Full test coverage with 9 test suites, all passing
  • Documentation: Complete README and inline documentation

Features

🔍 Version Detection

  • Parses TypeScript version strings (stable, RC, and beta releases)
  • Validates against a list of explicitly supported versions
  • Thread-safe initialization using sync.Once
  • Graceful handling of invalid version strings

📊 Version Comparison

  • Semantic version constraint checking
  • Support for pre-release versions (RC, beta)
  • Both map-based and function-based version checks
  • Dynamic version comparison for unlisted versions

✅ Supported Versions

Currently supports TypeScript 4.7 through 5.7:

4.7, 4.8, 4.9
5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7

⚠️ Warning System

  • Automatic warnings for unsupported TypeScript versions
  • One-time warning per program execution
  • Clear messaging with supported version list
  • Non-blocking warnings (graceful degradation)

Implementation Details

Core API

// Initialize version checking
version.SetTypeScriptVersion("5.4.0")

// Check version compatibility
if version.IsVersionAtLeast("5.4") {
    // Use TypeScript 5.4+ features
}

// Get current version
currentVersion := version.GetCurrentVersion()

// Access pre-computed version map
if version.TypeScriptVersionIsAtLeast["5.0"] {
    // TypeScript 5.0 features available
}

Version Comparison Logic

For a version check like IsVersionAtLeast("5.4"), the following constraint is evaluated:

>= 5.4.0 || >= 5.4.1-rc || >= 5.4.0-beta

This ensures compatibility with:

  • Stable releases (e.g., 5.4.0, 5.4.5)
  • Release candidates (e.g., 5.4.1-rc)
  • Beta releases (e.g., 5.4.0-beta)

Pull Request Review: TypeScript Version Checking Implementation

I've completed a comprehensive review of this PR. Overall, this is a well-implemented feature that adds TypeScript version compatibility checking. Here's my detailed feedback:


Strengths

Code Quality & Best Practices

  • Excellent code organization: Clean separation of concerns with well-structured functions
  • Good documentation: Clear comments explaining the purpose and behavior of each function
  • Consistent style: Follows Go conventions and matches the existing codebase style
  • Proper error handling: Uses idiomatic Go error handling with wrapped errors
  • Thread-safe design: Correct use of sync.Once for initialization

Test Coverage

  • Comprehensive test suite: 9 test functions covering all major functionality
  • Good test structure: Uses table-driven tests following Go best practices
  • Edge case coverage: Tests include valid versions, pre-releases (RC, beta), and boundary conditions
  • Concurrent testing: Includes a concurrency test to verify thread safety

Documentation

  • Excellent README: 200+ lines of detailed documentation with usage examples
  • Clear API documentation: Well-explained functions with examples

⚠️ Issues Found

🔴 Critical Bug: Error Handling in SetTypeScriptVersion

Location: version.go:48-73

There's a critical bug in the error handling logic:

func SetTypeScriptVersion(version string) error {
    versionCheckOnce.Do(func() {
        var err error
        currentVersion, err = parseTypeScriptVersion(version)
        if err != nil {
            return  // ❌ This return doesn't propagate the error!
        }
        // ...
    })
    return nil  // ❌ Always returns nil, even if parsing failed
}

Problem: The function always returns nil, even when version parsing fails. The error inside the sync.Once.Do closure is lost because sync.Once.Do takes a func() with no return value.

Impact:

  • Callers cannot detect invalid version strings
  • Silent failures when invalid versions are passed
  • The test suite doesn't catch this because tests never check for actual error cases with invalid input

Recommended Fix:

var (
    versionCheckOnce sync.Once
    versionCheckErr  error  // Add this to capture errors
)

func SetTypeScriptVersion(version string) error {
    versionCheckOnce.Do(func() {
        currentVersion, versionCheckErr = parseTypeScriptVersion(version)
        if versionCheckErr != nil {
            return
        }
        // ... rest of initialization
    })
    return versionCheckErr  // Return the captured error
}

🟡 Medium: Missing Test Cases

Location: version_test.go

The test suite is missing critical test cases:

  1. Invalid version strings: No tests for malformed versions like:

    • "invalid"
    • "x.y.z"
    • ""
    • "5.4" (without patch number in direct parsing)
  2. Error propagation: No tests verifying that SetTypeScriptVersion returns errors for invalid input

  3. Missing t.Parallel(): Most tests use ResetVersionCheck() but don't call t.Parallel(), unlike the existing codebase style (see utils_test.go which uses t.Parallel() consistently)

Recommended Addition:

func TestSetTypeScriptVersion_InvalidVersions(t *testing.T) {
    tests := []struct {
        name    string
        version string
    }{
        {"Empty string", ""},
        {"Invalid format", "invalid"},
        {"Letters in version", "x.y.z"},
        {"Missing patch", "5"},
    }
    
    for _, tt := range tests {
        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
            ResetVersionCheck()
            err := SetTypeScriptVersion(tt.version)
            if err == nil {
                t.Error("Expected error for invalid version, got nil")
            }
        })
    }
}

🟡 Medium: Potential Data Race

Location: version.go:38,68

The versionWarningIssued boolean is not protected by any synchronization mechanism, which could lead to a data race if SetTypeScriptVersion is called from multiple goroutines concurrently (even though sync.Once ensures the main initialization happens once).

Recommended Fix:

var (
    versionWarningIssued atomic.Bool  // Use atomic.Bool from sync/atomic
)

// In issueVersionWarning:
func issueVersionWarning(version *semver.Version) {
    fmt.Printf("WARNING: You are using TypeScript version %s which is not explicitly supported.\n", version.String())
    fmt.Printf("The supported TypeScript versions are: %v\n", SupportedVersions)
    fmt.Printf("Please consider upgrading to a supported version for the best experience.\n")
}

// In SetTypeScriptVersion:
if !isVersionSupported(currentVersion) && !versionWarningIssued.Load() {
    issueVersionWarning(currentVersion)
    versionWarningIssued.Store(true)
}

💭 Suggestions for Improvement

1. GetSupportedVersions() Returns Mutable Slice

Location: version.go:157-159

func GetSupportedVersions() []string {
    return SupportedVersions  // ⚠️ Returns reference to package-level variable
}

Issue: Callers could potentially modify the returned slice, corrupting the package state.

Suggested Fix:

func GetSupportedVersions() []string {
    result := make([]string, len(SupportedVersions))
    copy(result, SupportedVersions)
    return result
}

2. Consider Using a Logger Interface

Location: version.go:151-153

Currently uses fmt.Printf for warnings. Consider using a proper logging interface for better testability and production use:

type Logger interface {
    Printf(format string, args ...interface{})
}

var DefaultLogger Logger = &defaultLogger{}

func SetLogger(logger Logger) {
    DefaultLogger = logger
}

This would allow:

  • Testing without polluting stdout
  • Integration with the application's logging system
  • Different log levels in production

3. Documentation: Version Constraint Logic Could Be Clearer

The RC constraint >= X.Y.1-rc is subtle. According to semver, 5.4.0-rc < 5.4.0, but the constraint uses 5.4.1-rc. This works but deserves a comment explaining why:

// Note: We use X.Y.1-rc instead of X.Y.0-rc because semver treats
// X.Y.0-rc as less than X.Y.0, so X.Y.1-rc ensures we catch RC versions
// of the same minor release.

4. Minor: Variable Naming

The variable name checkErr in version.go:58 is less idiomatic than just err (which is fine to shadow in this scope).


🔒 Security Considerations

No security concerns identified:

  • No external input validation issues (version strings are parsed by a well-tested library)
  • No unsafe operations or memory issues
  • No credential handling or sensitive data exposure
  • The semver library is reputable and widely used

Performance Considerations

Performance is well-optimized:

  • Initialization happens only once via sync.Once
  • Version map is pre-computed and cached
  • No unnecessary allocations in hot paths
  • Concurrent access is safe and lock-free for reads after initialization

Minor optimization opportunity: The IsVersionAtLeast function performs a dynamic semver check when the version isn't cached. Consider caching these results too, though this is likely negligible in practice.


📋 Summary

Category Status Notes
Code Quality ✅ Excellent Clean, idiomatic Go code
Documentation ✅ Excellent Comprehensive README and comments
Test Coverage 🟡 Good Comprehensive but missing error cases
Bug Severity 🔴 High Critical error handling bug
Performance ✅ Excellent Well-optimized with proper caching
Security ✅ Safe No concerns identified
Thread Safety 🟡 Mostly Safe Minor data race in warning flag

🎯 Recommendations

Must Fix Before Merge:

  1. Fix the error handling bug in SetTypeScriptVersion
  2. Add test cases for invalid version strings

Should Fix Before Merge:

  1. Fix the potential data race in versionWarningIssued
  2. Make GetSupportedVersions() return a defensive copy

Nice to Have:

  1. Consider adding a logging interface instead of direct fmt.Printf
  2. Add clarifying comments about the RC version constraint logic

🏁 Conclusion

This is a solid implementation with excellent documentation and good test coverage. However, the critical error handling bug must be fixed before merging. Once the issues above are addressed, this will be a high-quality addition to the codebase.

The PR demonstrates good understanding of Go idioms, proper use of third-party libraries, and thoughtful API design. With the recommended fixes, this code will be production-ready.

Great work overall! 🎉

Pull Request Review: TypeScript Version Checking Implementation

Overview

This PR implements a comprehensive TypeScript version compatibility checking system, ported from @typescript-eslint/typescript-estree. The implementation is well-structured and follows Go best practices. The code quality is high, with excellent test coverage and clear documentation.

✅ Strengths

Code Quality

  • Clean Architecture: Well-organized package structure with clear separation of concerns
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Excellent README with usage examples, API reference, and integration patterns
  • Defensive Programming: Proper error handling, input validation, and defensive copies (e.g., GetSupportedVersions())
  • Thread Safety: Correct use of sync.Once and atomic.Bool for concurrent access
  • Error Propagation: Proper error handling with the versionCheckErr variable correctly capturing and returning errors

Test Coverage

  • Excellent Coverage: 9 test suites covering all major functionality
  • Edge Cases: Tests for invalid versions, error propagation, concurrent access, and defensive copies
  • Table-Driven Tests: Proper use of Go testing patterns with clear test cases
  • Comprehensive Scenarios: Tests cover stable, RC, beta versions, and version comparisons

Best Practices

  • Semantic Versioning: Using industry-standard Masterminds/semver library
  • Immutability: GetSupportedVersions() returns a copy to prevent external modifications
  • Concurrency Safety: All shared state properly protected with appropriate synchronization primitives

🎯 What Works Well

  1. Version Comparison Logic: The semver constraint handling for stable/RC/beta versions is well-designed
  2. Warning System: One-time warnings using atomic operations is efficient and thread-safe
  3. Graceful Degradation: Returns false or "unknown" for errors rather than panicking
  4. Test Reset Mechanism: ResetVersionCheck() enables thorough testing without interference

💡 Minor Suggestions for Enhancement

1. Error Context Enhancement

Consider adding more context to error messages for better debugging:

// In IsVersionAtLeast, when dynamic check fails
if err != nil {
    // Consider logging: fmt.Errorf("failed to check version %q: %w", version, err)
    return false
}

2. Documentation Improvement

The inline comment at version.go:151-153 mentions "In a real implementation, this would use a proper logging system" but then proceeds to use fmt.Printf. Consider:

  • Using a structured logging library (if available in the project)
  • Or clarifying in the comment that fmt.Printf is intentional for this implementation

3. Version String Normalization

Consider handling common input variations:

// Example: "5.4" vs "5.4.0" - currently both work, but worth documenting

4. Performance Consideration (Very Minor)

The semverCheck() function creates a new constraint on every call. For frequently checked versions, consider caching constraints:

var constraintCache = make(map[string]*semver.Constraints)
var constraintCacheMu sync.RWMutex

However, this is a micro-optimization and the current implementation is perfectly acceptable given that version checks are typically performed during initialization.

🔒 Security Assessment

No security concerns identified. The code:

  • Properly validates all inputs
  • Uses a well-maintained external library for semver parsing
  • Has no file I/O, network calls, or execution of external commands
  • Contains appropriate bounds checking and defensive programming

🚀 Performance Considerations

  • Excellent: sync.Once ensures initialization happens only once
  • Excellent: Pre-computed TypeScriptVersionIsAtLeast map for O(1) lookups
  • Good: Dynamic fallback for uncached versions
  • Minor: Consider caching semver constraints if version checks become a hot path (not critical)

🧪 Test Coverage Assessment

Outstanding test coverage:

  • All public functions tested
  • Edge cases covered (invalid inputs, concurrent access, error propagation)
  • Both positive and negative test cases
  • Test isolation with proper reset between tests

Suggestions:

  1. Consider adding benchmark tests for version comparison operations
  2. Add tests for edge cases like pre-release version ordering (e.g., 5.4.0-alpha vs 5.4.0-beta)

📋 Additional Notes

Dependencies

  • Masterminds/semver v3.3.1: Excellent choice - well-maintained, widely used, and semver 2.0.0 compliant

Integration Readiness

The code is production-ready and well-documented for integration into the parser. The README provides clear integration examples.

Module Management

The changes to go.mod and go.work (removing empty typescript-go reference) are appropriate cleanup.

🎉 Conclusion

This is a high-quality PR that:

  • Implements the required functionality correctly
  • Follows Go best practices and idioms
  • Has excellent test coverage
  • Is well-documented
  • Is thread-safe and efficient
  • Contains no security issues

The implementation demonstrates strong engineering practices. The fixes applied in the subsequent commits (error handling, data race prevention, defensive copying) show excellent attention to code review feedback.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve and Merge

Great work! This provides a solid foundation for TypeScript version-dependent parsing features.
