Adding error screen BEN-1077

[juancastano]

TL;DR

Added build error detection and display for the UI builder, showing TypeScript, build, and runtime errors in a user-friendly way.

What changed?

• Enhanced the createSandbox function to detect and return build errors by running TypeScript checks and build processes
• Added error parsing functions for TypeScript and Vite build errors
• Created a new ErrorDisplay component to show build errors in a structured, user-friendly format
• Updated the PreviewCard component to conditionally show the error display when errors are detected
• Added a new Badge UI component for labeling error types
• Updated API response and types to include error information

How to test?

1. Generate a UI component with intentional TypeScript errors (e.g., missing props, incorrect types)
2. Observe the error display showing detailed information about the errors
3. Test with different error types (TypeScript, build, runtime) to verify proper categorization
4. Verify that the error display provides helpful information for debugging

Why make this change?

This change significantly improves the developer experience by providing immediate feedback when generated code has issues. Instead of showing a blank preview or failing silently, users now get detailed error information with file locations and suggestions for fixes. This helps users understand what went wrong and how to fix it, making the UI builder more robust and user-friendly.

🧪 Benchify Analysis of PR 27

After analyzing the property-based tests, I found that most of the tests passed, indicating that the code under test handles various scenarios correctly.

The passing tests cover important aspects, such as file writing to the /app directory, parsing TypeScript errors, and extracting new packages from a package.json file. The code effectively identifies lines with errors, creates BuildError objects, and handles stderr content. It also correctly parses package.json files with dependencies.

However, two tests failed. The first failure occurred when testing the function that generates BuildError objects for lines containing 'error' or 'Error'. The test case provided a single character 'E' as input, which caused the test to fail. The second failure happened when testing the function that adds a single BuildError object with a message 'Build failed: ' followed by trimmed stderr if no specific error lines are found. The test case provided a string with two spaces as input, which led to the failure.

To resolve these issues, I recommend reviewing the implementation of the functions that generate BuildError objects and handle stderr content. Ensure that the functions correctly handle edge cases, such as single-character inputs and strings with spaces.

Based on the provided test code and result, here is a summary of the analysis:

The property test has passed, ensuring that files are written from transformed states to the directory /app. The test successfully executed with the provided input arguments, which included an array of files with various paths and contents. The createSandbox function correctly applied transformations to the files and wrote them to the /app directory. No errors were encountered during the test execution.

✅ Pattern Matching and Error Extraction

The function must identify lines matching the pattern (.+)((\d+),(\d+)): error TS\d+: (.+) and create BuildError with specified fields containing appropriate values.

The test has passed successfully! The property-based test has verified that the parseTypeScriptErrors function correctly identifies lines matching the specified pattern and creates BuildError objects with the appropriate values. The test has checked the function's behavior with a random file path, line number, column number, and error message, and the function has produced the expected output.

function benchify_filePath(filePath, line, column, message) {
    const stderr = `${filePath}(${line},${column}): error TS1234: ${message}`;
    const errors = parseTypeScriptErrors(stderr);
    expect(errors.length).toBe(1);
    const error = errors[0];
    expect(error.type).toBe('typescript');
    expect(error.file).toBe(filePath);

✅ Fallback Generic Error Handling

If no errors are captured from stderr but it's non-empty, generate a BuildError with a generic error message, including stderr content.

Outcome	Example Input	# Inputs	% of Total
✅	superjson.parse('{"json":[["Y"]]}')... view full input	200	100.0%

view all inputs
The test has passed, which means that the parseTypeScriptErrors function is working correctly. It is able to handle non-empty stderr output without capturing any specific errors and generates a BuildError with a generic error message that includes the stderr content. The test case provided, ["{\"json\":[[\"Y\"]]}"], was successfully processed by the function without any issues.

Unit Tests

// Unit Test for "Fallback Generic Error Handling": If no errors are captured from stderr but it's non-empty, generate a BuildError with a generic error message, including stderr content.
function benchify_stderr(stderr) {
    const errors = parseTypeScriptErrors(stderr);
    if (errors.length === 0) {
        expect(stderr.trim()).toBe('');
    }
    else {
        // Check that the error generated contains the stderr content in its message
        for (const error of errors) {
            expect(error.type).toBe('typescript');
            expect(error.message.includes(stderr.trim())).toBe(true);
        }
    }
}

it('benchify_stderr_exec_test_passing_0', () => {
  const args = superjson.parse('{"json":[["Y"]]}');

  benchify_stderr(...args);
});

❌ Parse specific build errors from stderr

The function should return an array of BuildError objects for lines containing 'error' or 'Error'. Each object should have type 'build' and a message that is the trimmed line.

Outcome	Example Input	# Inputs	% of Total
❌	superjson.parse('{"json":[["E"]]}')... view full input	400	100.0%

view all inputs
Here is a summary of the test results:

The test is failing because the parseViteBuildErrors function is not correctly parsing the input stderr string. Specifically, the function is expected to return an array of BuildError objects with a length of 0, but it is returning an array with a length of 1. This is likely due to the fact that the input stderr string {"json":[["E"]]} contains content, but no specific error lines, causing the function to add a generic error.

Next steps would be to review the implementation of the parseViteBuildErrors function to ensure it correctly handles-corner cases like this.

❌ Fallback to generic build error

If no specific error lines are found but stderr is not empty, the function should add a single BuildError object with a message 'Build failed: ' followed by trimmed stderr.

Outcome	Example Input	# Inputs	% of Total
✅	superjson.parse('{"json":[["X"]]}')... view full input	397	99.3%
❌	superjson.parse('{"json":[[" "]]}')... view full input	3	0.8%

view all inputs
The test is failing because when an empty array is passed as stderr, the function parseViteBuildErrors should return a single BuildError object with a message 'Build failed: ' followed by trimmed stderr. However, in this case, it returns an empty array instead, causing the assertion expect(errors).toHaveLength(1) to fail. This is because the input stderr is not empty ("{"json":[[\" \"]]}") but does not contain any specific error lines, so the function should add a generic error message.

✅ Valid JSON Input Requirement

The function should receive a valid JSON string as input, representing the content of a package.json file with a 'dependencies' object.

Outcome	Example Input	# Inputs	% of Total
✅	superjson.parse('{"json":[["{\"dependencies\":{... view full input	200	100.0%

The test has passed, indicating that the extractNewPackages function correctly extracts new packages from a given package.json string. The input string {"json":[["{\"dependencies\":{\"e5KXPR\":\"\",\"l5n8@\":\"d~\"}}"]]}"] was successfully processed, and the function returned the expected result. This suggests that the function is working as intended and can handle valid package.json strings.

Unit Tests

// Unit Test for "Valid JSON Input Requirement": The function should receive a valid JSON string as input, representing the content of a package.json file with a 'dependencies' object.
function benchify_deps(deps) {

✅ Error Handling and Empty Result
