Summary

One parse API across the CSS, HTML and JavaScript syntax parsers: each entry point takes a parseError(input, code, start, end, severity) callback and returns node refs read through the language's A accessor.

  • CSS: parseError on every entry point. parseA* now return node refs instead of reader objects. Parser-level errors are reported as well as tokenizer ones.
  • HTML: parseError gets the tokenizer's WHATWG codes and tree-construction errors (html5lib names).
  • JavaScript: new parseProgram(input, pos, { sourceType, parseError }) returns the program ref. Recoverable errors report "warning" and parsing goes on; a fatal one reports "error" and returns undefined. Codes are Babel's reasonCode, kebab-cased. tooling/generate-js-data.js derives them by probing both parsers, and generation fails if a probe or a raised message loses its entry.
parseProgram("let a; let a; f(", 0, {
	parseError: (input, code, start, end, severity) => {}
});
// var-redeclaration 11 11 warning
// unexpected-token 16 16 error   -> returns undefined

Two bug fixes found on the way:

  • An HTML <a> nested in a table cell closed the outer <a> too.
  • A module ending inside a template literal crashed the parser:
export const a = `${b}
Build error
Before Module parse failed: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')
After Module parse failed: Unterminated template literal (1:22)

Parse CPU on a 1.1 MB bundle is unchanged (35.30 ms before, 35.32 ms after).

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

feat

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes: test/unitCases/css/, test/unitCases/html/ and test/unitCases/javascript/parser.unittest.js, plus test/configCases/errors/module-parse-error/unterminated-template.js.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No. The CSS parseA* return type changes, but these are internal syntax helpers.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

docs/syntax.md describes the entry points and the error-code naming per language.

Walkthrough

CSS and HTML parsing now support optional parse-error callbacks. JavaScript adds parseProgram with error reporting. CSS parse results use integer node references read through accessors. HTML tree construction reports additional errors and adjusts EOF handling and nested-anchor recovery.

Changes: Parser APIs and diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
CSS node references and consumers
lib/css/syntax-parser.js, lib/css/CssParser.js, test/helpers/serializeCssTree.js, test/specCases/cssParsing-webpack.spectest.js, test/unitCases/css/*
CSS parse entry points return integer node references into shared storage. Serializers and tests read node data through accessors. Redundant CSS type assertions were removed.
CSS parse-error reporting
lib/css/syntax-parser.js, test/unitCases/css/parser.unittest.js, docs/syntax.md, .changeset/041-syntax-parse-error-option.md
CSS parser entry points accept an optional parseError callback. The parser reports selected tokenizer and parser errors with source ranges and severity, and suppresses duplicate reports by offset and code.
HTML diagnostics and tree construction
lib/html/syntax-parser.js, tooling/generate-html-data.js, test/unitCases/html/*, test/specCases/html5lib.spectest.js, cspell.json, .changeset/042-html-nested-anchor-in-cell.md
The HTML parser reports tokenizer and tree-construction errors. It adjusts raw-text EOF handling, self-closing acknowledgement, and nested-anchor handling in table cells.
JavaScript program parsing and error codes
lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js, tooling/generate-js-data.js, test/unitCases/javascript/parser.unittest.js, .changeset/041-syntax-parse-error-option.md
JavaScript adds parseProgram and callback-based reporting for fatal and recoverable parse errors. Tooling generates and validates parser error codes. Tests cover parse results, callback behavior, and SourceProcessor interaction.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 953b7

Invalid class-setter input can throw instead of returning a program, and HTML verification may report errors from generated output to a supplied callback. These bounded issues warrant fixes or explicit acceptance before merging.

2511-2523: 🎯 Functional Correctness

No in-repository parseA* consumer requires this change.

The parseA* functions are exported from lib/css/syntax-parser.js, but the repository search found no call sites outside that file and tests. The CSS, HTML, and tooling consumers import the parser module for other APIs and do not use these entry points. The requested compatibility change is therefore unsubstantiated for this repository.

21203-21203: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Document or reject silent error loss when parseProgram gets no parseError callback.

Without a parseError callback, parseProgram drops information in two ways:

  • Line 21203 turns any SyntaxError into a bare undefined, so the caller gets no code, position, or message for a fatal error.
  • raiseRecoverable returns while programParsing is set and reports nothing without a callback. parseProgram("let a; let a") therefore returns a valid-looking program node for invalid source. The test "reads past an error without a callback" locks in this behavior.

Both are consistent with the PR's stated design. A caller who omits the callback cannot detect an invalid program or find out why a parse failed. The retrieved learning accepts error-first callbacks and tagged failure results, but not silent defaults.

Fix one of these two ways:

  • State in the JavascriptParseOptions JSDoc and in docs/syntax.md that errors are observable only through parseError.
  • Rethrow the SyntaxError when no callback is set, and update the "without a callback" test to match.

Based on learnings: "Flag JavaScript data-parsing code that silently returns empty/default results or swallows exceptions for corrupt, truncated, or malformed input".

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.

No asset changed size.

No runtime gained or lost a runtime module.

Built test/configCases with the defaults a user gets: 2289 test(s), 9197 asset(s), 101 emitted nothing.

Move the two new lookup tables to the HTML data generator.

This change adds two new tables inside syntax-parser.js:

  • END_TAG_OPTIONAL_AT_BODY_END (Lines 8366-8385)
  • ACKNOWLEDGED_NON_VOID (Lines 9621-9626)

The repository rule says this file is algorithm only. Define both tables in tooling/generate-html-data.js and import them from ./data. Then run yarn fix:special, which regenerates lib/html/data.js.

As per coding guidelines: "A syntax-parser.js or syntax-printer.js is algorithm only — a new lookup table belongs in the matching generator."

Forward undefined for a zero start position.

parseProgram always passes a defined pos value, including its default 0, so getFastConstructionShape selects the slow constructor.

Document the no-callback behavior of parseProgram.

parseProgram intentionally continues past recoverable errors and returns a program id when parseError is omitted. The current JSDoc and docs/syntax.md describe the callback but do not state that recoverable errors are not surfaced without it. Add this behavior to both descriptions. Do not return undefined for recoverable errors; the unit test establishes that this is intentional.

🟡 Minor · Reject reentrant parseProgram calls before changing shared state. · syntax-parser.js:21203

lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js:21203
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject reentrant parseProgram calls before changing shared state.

parseError runs synchronously while programParsing is active. A nested parseProgram call currently overwrites programParseError and clears it when it returns, so later outer diagnostics are omitted.

Suggested fix
 const parseProgram = (input, pos = 0, options = {}) => {
 	if (walking) {
 		throw new Error(
 			"javascript syntax: process() is running; a visitor cannot start another JavaScript parse"
 		);
 	}
+	if (programParsing) {
+		throw new Error(
+			"javascript syntax: parseProgram() is already running; a parseError callback cannot start another JavaScript parse"
+		);
+	}
 	releaseParsedTree();

Minor · Guard the missing setter parameter in both parseClassMethod… · syntax-parser.js:11596-11599

lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js:11596-11599
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard the missing setter parameter in both parseClassMethod implementations.

When parseProgram reports the zero-parameter setter error as a warning, parsing continues. The following rest-parameter check then dereferences the missing first parameter and throws TypeError. This violates the recoverable-error contract.

Proposed fix
 		if (
 			target.kind === "set" &&
+			value.params.length > 0 &&
 			this._typeOf(value.params[0]) === "RestElement"
 		) {
-		if (method.kind === "set" && value.params[0].type === "RestElement") {
+		if (
+			method.kind === "set" &&
+			value.params.length > 0 &&
+			value.params[0].type === "RestElement"
+		) {

Add a parseProgram test for class A { set x() {} } that checks for one warning and a returned program node.

Rename the CSS ParseOptions to CssParseOptions and add parseError with the
HTML tokenizer's signature, reporting CSS Syntax Level 3 §4 tokenizer parse
errors. HtmlParseOptions gets the same option for parseHtml.
…errors

The CSS parse entry points return integer node refs read through `A`, valid
until the next parse, as parseHtml does; the snapshot store and reader objects
go. parseError also reports the three CSS Syntax §5.4 parser parse errors.
parseHtml's parseError now also reports every WHATWG tree-construction parse
error, named as html5lib-python names them since WHATWG names only one. The
tokenizer stops reporting eof-in-tag for a raw-text end tag cut short in its
name and end-tag-with-attributes for a tag EOF cut short, and reports
eof-in-script-html-comment-like-text from every script-escape state. A
nested <a> in a table cell no longer closes the outermost <a>.
parseProgram parses into a SyntaxTree read through A until the next parse,
as parseHtml and the CSS parseA* do. Its parseError option reports each
parse error with Babel's reasonCode kebab-cased, which generate-js-data.js
reads off a probe per message: an error the parse reads past as a warning,
one that stops it as an error, the call then returning undefined.
…ator

A duplicate export or attribute name can hold a cooked line terminator,
which the code table's `.*` did not match, so the search ran past the
catch-all and threw. Templates now match across line terminators.

Also: parseProgram takes the fast constructor at offset 0, the HTML
tables it added move to the generator, and the no-callback behavior is
documented.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015gdnghKbLJ7VvJ5nNCNHhH
… frame where inserted

A parseProgram started from its own parseError callback replaced the
running call's callback and released its tree; it now throws instead.
A SyntaxError the callback throws is rethrown rather than read as the
parse failing. An ignored <frame/> in body now reports its trailing
solidus: only frameset mode acknowledges it, so the name-wide exemption
goes. END_TAG_OPTIONAL_AT_BODY_END spreads IMPLIED_END_TAG_ELEMENTS.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015gdnghKbLJ7VvJ5nNCNHhH
parseProgram reads past "setter should have exactly one param", and the
rest-parameter check after it then read the missing first parameter and
threw a TypeError. It now runs only when there is one parameter, as the
object-literal setter already did.

The acorn parity test lets ours read on where acorn crashes after an
error it noted, so long as ours notes the same errors first.
