docs(cli): clarify disabling boolean/object flags like codeSplitting#10153
Merged
Conversation
`--codeSplitting false` / `--codeSplitting=false` is rejected because the CLI parser reads the value as the string `"false"`, not a boolean. This matches Rollup, where `--treeshake false` errors too and `--no-treeshake` is the supported off switch. The equivalent here is `--no-codeSplitting`. The old help text `Code splitting options (true, false, or object)` wrongly implied `false` works as a value, so: - reword the `codeSplitting` CLI description to point at `--no-codeSplitting` (disable) and `--codeSplitting.minSize` / `--codeSplitting.minShareCount` (object), mirroring `esModule` - document the general `--no-<flag>` convention (and boolean-or-object flags) in the CLI docs - refresh the cli-e2e help snapshot Closes #10125

Summary
Closes #10125.
rolldown --codeSplitting false(and--codeSplitting=false) fails with:This is working as intended and matches Rollup. The CLI parser reads the value after
--codeSplittingas the string"false", not a boolean, and aboolean | objectflag with no string presets has nothing to match it against. Rollup behaves identically —rollup --treeshake falseerrors the same way, and--no-treeshakeis the supported "off" switch. It never coercestrue/falsestrings on the CLI; boolean toggles always go through--flag/--no-flag.The real problem is that our help text promised something that never worked:
The
falsethere is a JS/config-file value, not a CLI value. The CLI way to disable code splitting is--no-codeSplitting(the modern equivalent of the deprecated--inlineDynamicImports), which already works today.Per maintainer guidance on the issue (align with Rollup + clarify the docs), this PR is docs-only — no behavior change.
Changes
packages/rolldown/src/utils/validator.ts— reword thecodeSplittingCLI description so it no longer impliesfalseis a valid value, and instead points at--no-codeSplitting(disable) and--codeSplitting.minSize/--codeSplitting.minShareCount(object). Mirrors the existingesModuledescription, which already documents--no-esModule.docs/apis/cli.md— add a "Disabling boolean flags" callout under Command Line Flags explaining the general convention: use--no-<flag>to disable, why--flag falseerrors, that it matches Rollup, and how boolean-or-object flags (codeSplitting) work.packages/rolldown/tests/cli/__snapshots__/cli-e2e.test.ts.snap— refresh the--helpsnapshot for the new description.Behavior (unchanged, verified)
--codeSplittingtrue(enabled)--no-codeSplittingfalse— disables splitting (verified: 2 chunks → 1)--codeSplitting.minSize 30000--codeSplitting false/=false--treeshake false)Verification
pnpm build-node;rolldown --helpshows the new description.Possible follow-up (not in this PR)
Make the runtime error message for a
boolean | …union flag nudge toward--no-<flag>when it receives the string"false"/"true". Left out to keep this change docs-focused.
