fix(chat): the init stops at its first await once the component unmounts (#16274) - #16911
Conversation
…nts (#16274) ChatInterface raced its init against a 10s setTimeout whose handle was never captured. onUnmounted cancelled nothing, and the winning path never cleared it either, so every successful mount left a timer pending that rejected 10s later, entered the catch block, and ran the fallback controller.loadChatSessions() against a component that no longer existed. In ChatInterface.test.ts that rejection landed in a LATER test, after `mockReset: true` had stripped the mock the fallback calls, so it threw "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'catch')" somewhere unrelated while this file stayed green -- the class vitest.config.ts:71 warns about (#3070). The timer handle is now captured and cleared in a `finally`, so it goes whether the init won the race or lost it, and onUnmounted clears it and sets a flag the init checks after each await. Nothing after an await touches the store once the component is gone. The test asserts the fallback is never called after unmount, not that the timer was cleared: clearing the handle is the mechanism, and a later rewrite may cancel the init some other way. What must stay true is that a dead component does not retry on its own behalf. NOT verified locally, stated rather than implied: the negative control -- that this test fails against the unfixed component -- was not run. A fresh worktree has no autobot-frontend/node_modules, the main checkout's copy is not an ancestor so Node cannot resolve it, and installing into the codebase is prohibited. The defect's reachability is established from the source path plus the error the issue observed twice per run at that exact line; that this specific test reproduces it is argued, not demonstrated. CI runs the suite. Closes #16274

Keep a failed fallback request distinct from an empty session list.
When controller.loadChatSessions() rejects, the catch only logs the error. The code then calls store.setInitializing(false). This leaves initializationError unset and can represent the failure in the same state as a successful empty-session result.
Set an initialisation error or show a failure state when the fallback request fails.

Blocked — issue #16274 cannot be closed by this PR: AC3 is directly falsified by this PR's own CI, and AC2 is only partially met (a second unguarded await in the same function, plus an identical unfixed pattern one call frame up in the same file). AC3 ("a run of ChatInterface.test.ts logs no AC2 ("nothing after an await in the init runs once unmounted") — partially met. The two guarded awaits are real ( Same-file, unfixed instance of the identical bug class, one call frame up: The new regression test itself has a gap worth fixing: it mocks the init to never settle, unmounts, and advances fake timers past the timeout — but Fix needed: guard |
) pushLocalOnlySessions and onMounted's own two awaits still ran their continuations after unmount, writing to the store and re-adding the keydown listener/poller that onUnmounted had just torn down. Add the same isUnmounted check already used for the other awaits in the chain. Also fixes the test file's own bug: mockController.loadChatSessions was only ever mocked at module scope, so vitest's mockReset stripped it before every test and any test that hit the fallback path crashed with "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'catch')" -- the literal "Chat initialization failed" CI failure blocking this PR. Re-apply the controller mocks in beforeEach instead. Rewrites the existing unmount-mid-init test, which advanced fake timers past a race timeout that onUnmounted had already cleared, so the guarded code path was never reached and the test passed either way. Adds coverage for the two new guard sites and for onUnmounted's listener/poller cleanup.

Closes #16274
Single-issue rationale: a lifecycle fix in one component with no same-scope sibling open; batching it would have meant holding it behind unrelated work.
Thinking Path
ChatInterfaceraced its init against a 10ssetTimeoutwhose handle was never captured.onUnmountedcancelled nothing, and the winning path never cleared it either — so every successful mount left a timer pending. Ten seconds later it rejected, entered the catch block, and ran the fallbackcontroller.loadChatSessions()against a component that no longer existed. That part was already fixed before this round.The owner's block on the first version of this fix found two more instances of the same bug shape, plus a test-only bug the CI log itself proved:
Chat initialization failedstill logged once per run, fromChatInterface > Error Handling > handles API errors gracefully(run35306432327, job105484214371, log line 1920). Traced to the test file, not the component:mockController.loadChatSessionsis defined once at module scope (ChatInterface.test.ts:104pre-fix), butvitest.config.ts:75setsmockReset: true, which stripsvi.fn()implementations before every test unless re-applied inbeforeEach— exactly the landminevitest.config.ts:71's comment warns about (Enhancement: document vitest mockReset interaction with vi.mock factories #3070).
