fix: serialize the resolved config with toml_edit by JounQin · Pull Request #6 · unrs/tombit

JounQin · 2026-10-19T06:40:15Z

What

Serialize the resolved configuration with toml_edit instead of serde_tombi's writer.
Bump the vendored tombi to v1.8.8.
Scope fmt/fmt:check to the root package; the vendored submodule uses tombi's own rustfmt settings.

Why

serde_tombi's writer emits invalid TOML for configurations with [[overrides]]:

[[overrides]]
files = [overrides.files]
include = ["**/*.toml"]

format = [overrides.format.rules]
indent-width = 6

It then hits unreachable!("Document must be valid TOML."), which panics and aborts the Node process. tombit reached it whenever a discovered tombi.toml with [[overrides]] was parsed and re-serialized (discovery, or any overrideConfig):

format('[t]\nkey = 1\n', '/dir/a.toml') // abort

tombi-lib only needs valid TOML for the config. Serialize it with the toml_edit crate already in tombi's dependency tree (its serde feature) instead of adding a second TOML stack. The writer bug itself should be fixed in tombi upstream; this avoids it meanwhile.

Known gap: override rules are not applied yet

A matching [[overrides]] is parsed and matched, but its format.rules/lint.rules currently lose to the base rules: Config::merge_format/merge_lint call base.merge(override) while FormatRules::merge/LintRules::merge keep the receiver's values. Tracked upstream in tombi-toml/tombi#2329 and fixed in tombi-toml/tombi#2330.

The regression tests therefore assert the current (base) indentation and carry a comment to switch to the override value once the upstream fix is vendored. The abort itself is fixed and covered by these tests.

Verification

pnpm test — 15/15
pnpm fmt:check, pnpm lint — clean
formatSync / format on the repro config now formats instead of aborting
Release binary size is unchanged: 11,738,736 bytes with the fix vs 11,806,976 without (same profile, no schema feature)

Fixes #5.

📝 Walkthrough

Merged configuration serialization now uses toml_edit instead of serde_tombi’s async serializer. New tests cover synchronous and asynchronous formatting with a discovered configuration that contains an [[overrides]] rule.

Changes: Config Serialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
TOML serialization and override formatting `Cargo.toml`, `src/lib.rs`, `__test__/index.test.mjs`, `.changeset/fix-overrides-serialization.md`	`config_input` serializes merged configuration with `toml_edit` and returns a prefixed error if serialization fails. Sync and async tests cover formatting with a discovered override. A patch changeset records the serializer change.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ddbd2

The fix for the abort on discovered configs with overrides looks sound. The new tests do not confirm that overrides are applied, so tighten their assertions to cover this before or soon after merge.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #5 requires formatting to avoid aborting when the resolved configuration contains [[overrides]]. src/lib.rs now serializes the merged configuration with toml_edit::ser::to_string instead of the failing serde_tombi writer. New asynchronous and synchronous discovery tests cover [[overrides]] with glob matching. The implementation applies to resolved configurations produced with overrideConfig because it serializes the merged configuration path.

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #5. The toml_edit dependency supports the serialization fix, src/lib.rs implements it, the tests cover the regression, and the changeset documents the fix. No unrelated behavior or files are identified.

`serde_tombi`'s writer emits invalid TOML for configurations with `[[overrides]]` (nested tables inside an array-of-tables element become `key = [table]`), so discovery with such a `tombi.toml` panicked. Serialize with the `toml_edit` crate already in tombi's dependency tree, enabling its `serde` feature, instead of adding a second TOML stack. Fixes #5.

Assert the matched override's indentation.

a.toml matches **/*.toml, so the discovered override sets its indentation to six spaces. The current four-space assertions can pass without applying the override.

Review

Fix verified locally on ddbd2b4 (rebuilt the native binding and ran the #5 repro):

format / formatSync on a discovered tombi.toml with [[overrides]] no longer abort and format correctly.
overrideConfig.overrides still applies (6-space indent-width).
The discovered [[overrides]] survive serialization: with the base leaving indent-width unset, the override's indent-width = 6 takes effect ("[t]\n key = 1\n").
npx vitest run → 15/15; cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean.
Only one toml_edit in Cargo.lock (0.25.17), so no duplicate TOML stack.

One test nit (also raised by CodeRabbit, but the suggested 6 would fail): the new tests set indent-width = 4 in [format.rules], and tombi's FormatRules::merge keeps base values (base_rules.merge(override_rules) → self.or(...)), so the override's indent-width = 6 never wins and the actual output is 4. The tests therefore prove "no abort", not that the override applies. If you want the latter, leave indent-width unset in the base and assert 6 (verified); otherwise consider renaming the test so the crash-regression intent is explicit.

FWIW the base-wins merge looks contrary to the docs ("Only the specified rules will be overridden") — worth a separate tombi issue, not this PR.

LGTM.

Picks up the latest vendored tombi (cache command ordering, rustfmt, the LSP duplicate-diagnostics fix, and docs). Also scope `fmt`/`fmt:check` to the root package: `cargo fmt --all` formats the vendored submodule with tombit's rustfmt settings, which differ from tombi's own.

git-credential-broker

The four-space expectations are intentional for now. The override is parsed and matched, but its rules currently lose to the base rules because Config::merge_format calls base.merge(override) while FormatRules::merge keeps the receiver (tombi-toml/tombi#2329). It is fixed upstream in tombi-toml/tombi#2330; the tests carry a comment to switch them to six spaces once that fix is vendored. The regression covered here is the abort.

Re-review

Re-verified on f50a77b with the vendored tombi bumped to v1.8.8:

npx vitest run → 15/15; cargo fmt --check and cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean.
#5 repro: discovery with [[overrides]] no longer aborts (format and formatSync).
Sanity: with the base leaving indent-width unset, the discovered override's 6 still applies ("[t]\n key = 1\n"), and overrideConfig rules/overrides still apply.
The known base-wins merge gap is now documented in the PR body and pinned to tombi-toml/tombi#2329 / #2330, with the tests carrying a matching comment — good.
Scoping fmt/fmt:check to the root package is right: the vendored submodule has its own rustfmt settings, so --all would reformat it.

LGTM.
