UnmarshalJSON drops the first and last byte of whatever arrives and parses the middle. A null becomes ParseDuration("ul"), so unmarshalling returns invalid duration "ul". A bare number is quieter: 12 is two bytes, so the length check swallows it and the field is silently left at zero.

UnmarshalYAML already accepts a null for the same field, so this does the same and decodes the value as a string before parsing. A JSON number is now reported rather than read as zero; MarshalJSON has only ever written a quoted string, so nothing this package emits changes. go test -race -tags kqueue ./... passes, as do the other make test tag combinations.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Duration values now handle JSON null and empty strings without changing the existing value.
  • Invalid JSON types return an unmarshalling error, while nonempty strings are parsed as durations and return any parsing errors.

Walkthrough

Duration.UnmarshalJSON now decodes JSON strings before parsing them. JSON null and empty strings leave the receiver unchanged. Tests cover JSON and YAML null values, and reject numeric JSON values.

Changes: Duration JSON decoding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Decode duration JSON xtime/time.go, xtime/time_unmarshal_test.go	Duration.UnmarshalJSON treats JSON null and empty strings as no-ops. It decodes other inputs as strings before parsing. Tests verify null handling and reject a numeric JSON duration.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to ee4b1

The change handles JSON null and rejects numeric durations. The suggested tests would strengthen regression coverage, but neither identifies a current functional failure. Mergeable after normal checks.

Explanation

The title names the fix and its target: a JSON null handled in Duration.UnmarshalJSON in the xtime package. The raw summary confirms the change makes UnmarshalJSON accept null and decode the input as a string before parsing. The title does not cover the numeric-input error change, but it is not required to cover every detail.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Assert that YAML null keeps a nonzero duration.

The YAML null case decodes into a zero-valued s, so Dur is already 0 before the call. A change that set the field to zero on null would still pass, because the only assertion checks that decoding succeeds. The comment above the test says the YAML side leaves the field alone, but no assertion checks that. Starting from a nonzero value, as the JSON null case does, makes the check detect a reset.

🧪 Suggested fix

-	var y s
+	y := s{Dur: Duration(time.Hour)}
 	if err := yaml.Unmarshal([]byte("dur: null\n"), &y); err != nil {
 		t.Fatalf("yaml null: %v", err)
 	}
+	if y.Dur.D() != time.Hour {
+		t.Errorf("yaml null overwrote the field: got %v, want 1h0m0s", y.Dur.D())
+	}

Add a test for a JSON duration string that uses a Unicode escape.

The PR changes Duration.UnmarshalJSON to decode the JSON value with json.Unmarshal before parsing. A JSON string such as "1\u0068" now decodes to 1h. No test in xtime covers an escaped duration string. A regression that bypasses the decoder would not be caught. Add a case that expects time.Hour:

🧪 Suggested test

+
+func TestDuration_UnmarshalJSONEscapedString(t *testing.T) {
+	// JSON escapes must decode before the duration is parsed.
+	var d Duration
+	if err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(`"1\u0068"`), &d); err != nil {
+		t.Fatalf("escaped duration: %v", err)
+	}
+	if d.D() != time.Hour {
+		t.Errorf("escaped duration: got %v, want 1h0m0s", d.D())
+	}
+}
