Summary

PrintContext#get (the SourceProcessor print context) returned undefined cast to string when a node had not printed since the store was last dropped. Some callers rely on that undefined: the JS printer has helpers such as printedBareName and branchesAlike. Most callers only read children that already printed.

The two answers are now split:

  • lookup(node) returns string | undefined: what get did before, now typed honestly.
  • get(node) returns string, and "" when the node hasn't printed.

Every caller that checks for undefined or compares the text now uses lookup, so its behaviour is unchanged:

  • 23 calls in lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js
  • 2 in lib/css/syntax-parser.js
  • 1 in lib/html/syntax-printer.js

No other caller hits that case in the unit tests, invariants, minify corpora or test262 (checked by instrumenting the branch). Before, a miss there would have put the text undefined into the output.

This removes the string/unknown double cast, the last escape hatch in that method.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

refactor

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes. test/unitCases/SourceProcessor.unittest.js now checks that lookup returns undefined for a node not printed since the drop and that get returns "" for it.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No. The syntax API is experimental. get now returns "" rather than undefined for a node that hasn't printed; use lookup to tell the two apart.

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

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved how CSS, HTML, and JavaScript output is generated when previously printed text is no longer available. This helps keep formatting and syntax transformations consistent in those cases.
    • Updated print-context behavior so missing or outdated text is handled consistently, with lookups distinguishing unavailable text from an empty string.

`PrintContext#get` returned `undefined` typed as `string` for a node not
printed since the store was last dropped. `lookup` now carries that answer
as `string | undefined`, and the callers that ask about such a node use it;
`get` returns `""` there instead.

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.

Walkthrough

PrintContext adds lookup(node) to distinguish absent or stale printed text from stored text. get(node) now returns an empty string when no text is available. CSS, HTML, and JavaScript printer call sites use lookup for printed-text checks.

Changes: Print context lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
PrintContext API and validation
lib/util/SourceProcessor.js, test/unitCases/SourceProcessor.unittest.js, .changeset/268-print-context-lookup.md
PrintContext adds lookup(node) and changes get(node) to return an empty string when no text is available. Unit tests check both methods after dropStore(). The changeset records the API change.
Syntax printer lookup call sites
lib/css/syntax-parser.js, lib/html/syntax-printer.js, lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js
CSS, HTML, and JavaScript printer checks use lookup instead of get when reading printed text.

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 662f6

This refactor separates "no printed text" from "empty text" in the syntax print context, and the affected printer call sites keep their previous behavior. The changeset filename now follows the required convention. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains in the reviewed changes.

Explanation

The title uses the conventional-commit form with type "refactor", which is an allowed type. It names the main change: the print context's get is typed as string, and a new lookup method is added. The changeset supports this. The title is clear and matches the changes in SourceProcessor.js and the call sites that use lookup. The branch prefix was not provided, so the match between type and branch prefix could not be checked.
