Fix a crash when using dynamic children in <option> tag #13261

Slowyn · 2018-07-24T17:00:16Z

fix #11911

I had to move validateDOMNesting into the flattening process so it causes a different warning message. I'm not sure if this is a right approach.

The problem

After the investigation, I got that the reason of crash was desynchronization of Fiber and real node.
<option /> flattens its children, while Fiber does not. So we can pass into <option /> an array of children e.g.

['some', <div>5</div>, null, ' string']

It flattens to a string

'some string'

But Fiber keeps links to all children. Let's assume that null depends on some state. Fiber will try to update children using insertBefore, but as we don't have a real node in DOM, it caused a runtime error.

Solution

<option />'s children should be a string and we have to filter children. The simplest solution was to allow react to set content as a direct text child. It solves the issue and makes a behavior of <option /> like in React v.15... Unfortunately, this solution leads us to skip validateDOMNesting.

-      '<div> cannot appear as a child of <option>.\n' +
-        '    in div (at **)\n' +
-        '    in option (at **)',
+      '<div> cannot appear as a child of <option>.\n' + '    in option (at **)',


This is a behavior change and I'm not sure how to avoid this with this solution. But it's only warning, so shouldn't be critical.

I think this is okay. Particularly since the problem is still identified in the message (even if the nest doesn't show up).

@aweary or @gaearon Do you anticipate any problems with changing this warning text?

nhunzaker

Can you revert scripts/rollup/results.json?

Other than that, this looks good.

Nit: “a bit different message” would become meaningless after merging this PR. Let’s ensure any comments are helpful to future readers.

Slowyn · 2018-07-26T18:07:37Z

My IDE automatically insert an empty row at the end of file -_-
I've "reverted" scripts/rollup/results.json and removed the unnecessary comment.

nhunzaker

Does this behavior cause an issue in JSDOM too? I'm curious if the manual fixture could be moved into a unit test.

Slowyn · 2018-07-26T18:18:55Z

I can try to write a test. I think It's a case for DOMSelect-test, right?

nhunzaker · 2018-07-26T18:20:02Z

Yep!

I don't understand why "we don't have host context here".

This function is called from getHostProps which is called from setInitialProperties which is called from finalizeInitialChildren which definitely has host context. Pass it through.

Slowyn · 2018-07-26T19:23:34Z

@gaearon You are right, I've totally missed it. But after a quick look, it seems that sometimes hostContext is undefined. I'm checking now.

Slowyn · 2018-07-26T19:26:24Z

It seems like it's a consequence of this changes.

gaearon · 2018-07-26T19:48:29Z

Can you push the code that doesn't work so I can take a look?

Slowyn · 2018-07-26T21:16:33Z

Sorry, I wasn't able to push right away.
I forgot to pass ancestorInfo when was making the screenshot., but passing ancestorInfo wouldn't change the result.

This is very vague.

Yeah, It's some temporary "name" until we get a full working version.
Going to change it to some concrete form 😄

Have you taken a look on anccestorInfo in current case?

What about this description: "Options with stateful children; it should change its state properly and shouldn't fail"
What do you think?

gaearon · 2018-08-01T13:40:27Z

Seems like the reason this doesn't work is because the host context we get is from option's parent, not option itself.

exogen · 2019-01-18T03:19:05Z

FYI, I just upgraded React and I suspect this change (or one of the other <option> PRs) caused a backwards incompatibility within the 16.x channel.

Despite the HTML <option> tag only allowing strings for labels, all that should matter in React is what makes it to the final HTML output. For instance, these should (and used to) work:

<option><React.Fragment>Label A</React.Fragment></option>

import { FormattedMessage } from 'react-intl';
<option><FormattedMessage>{msg => "Label B"}</FormattedMessage></option>

const MyLabel = () => "Label C";
<option><MyLabel /></option>

All three of the above worked in 16.4.x, but will render [object Object] as the option label now. Due to using the middle technique above in our app, some of our forms unfortunately started doing this.

Edit: looks like this was already discussed in #13586

gaearon · 2022-03-30T00:50:31Z

This works again in 18 if you specify value for <option>.
