Adopt croc --json events (schollz/croc#1237) - #8
interfluve-wav wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
Migrates the Tauri backend to consume croc's machine-readable NDJSON
event stream and adds structured event listeners in App.tsx. The legacy
regex-based progress parser stays as a fallback so v10 binaries still
work.
New events emitted to the frontend:
- transfer-code (replaces the broken "Code is:" regex on v11+)
- transfer-phase (hashing/connecting/transferring/complete)
- transfer-progress-v2 (int64 bytes + int64 speed_bps)
- transfer-complete (file list on success)
- transfer-error (stable code + message + hint)
New code:
- src-tauri/src/events.rs: CrocEvent enum, EventSink trait, async +
sync NDJSON pump with unit tests
- src/speedFormat.ts + test: bps -> "5.2 MB/s" formatter
build_args now adds --json (gated on a one-shot croc_supports_json()
probe that detects v10 vs v11+ via a dry-run "send --help" check).
Tests: 46 Rust + 58 TypeScript, all passing.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds cached croc JSON capability detection, Rust NDJSON event parsing, Tauri event forwarding, and structured frontend transfer updates. Legacy output remains supported. Transfer speed formatting and related tests are also added. ChangesStructured transfer events
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR can break legacy fallback reporting, fail to enable structured events in packaged installations, and allow stale events from a cancelled transfer to affect a later transfer. These issues can produce incorrect progress, errors, history, or completion state, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🟡 Medium src/App.tsx:663
The transfer-phase listener leaves progress.phase at its initial value for every phase except complete, so JSON-mode hashing/preparation and connecting/transferring states are not reflected in the UI. Because JSON stderr is consumed by the JSON pump, legacy parsing does not correct this, leaving the UI in waiting until a later progress event; update progress.phase for non-terminal phases here.

transfer-progress-v2 stores the raw p.file value in progress.label, so a filename such as hello.txt is not parsed by getActiveFileBasename; multi-file transfers therefore never highlight the active file or add completed files to completedFiles. Normalize the v2 filename into the label format expected by parseFileFromCrocLabel, or update that parser path to accept raw v2 filenames.

exact executable path returned by resolve_croc_bin, including packaged resource
paths, instead of independently using current_croc_bin. Cache capability results
per executable path so a false result for one binary cannot be reused for
another, and ensure start_transfer/build_args use that path-specific result.

emit_transfer_output(&self.app, "stderr", &raw_line) instead of directly
emitting transfer-line, preserving code extraction, transfer-progress events,
and recent_lines diagnostics for legacy output.
- Around line 129-163: Add a session_id field to TauriEventSink, pass the active
session identifier when constructing it, and include it in every structured
transfer event payload emitted by on_code, on_phase, on_progress, on_complete,
and on_error. Update App.tsx structured-event handling to ignore events whose
sessionId does not match transferSessionRef.current, while preserving handling

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Add a session identifier to structured transfer events.
pump_json_stream continues independently after a child is stopped. Buffered events from a cancelled transfer can arrive after a new transfer starts. The structured payloads have no sessionId, so a stale transfer-phase event with phase: "complete" can mark the new transfer complete and record incorrect history.
Add session_id to TauriEventSink and each structured payload. Filter these events in App.tsx against transferSessionRef.current.

transfer-code emits only the raw code string, so the frontend cannot reject a delayed event from an earlier transfer and may overwrite the current transfer's displayed/shareable phrase. Add session_id to the code event payload and apply the same session filtering used for the other structured events.

Because stream pumps run on background threads, a delayedcodeevent from an earlier transfer cannot be filtered by the frontend and can overwrite the phrase/log for the current transfer. Add the session ID to the code event payload so stale events can be rejected consistently.

CodeRabbit's e7cf24d used `static CROC_JSON_CACHE: Mutex<...> = Mutex::new(...)`, which doesn't compile — `HashMap::new()` isn't const, so a `const` initializer can't construct the value. Replace with `LazyLock<Mutex<HashMap<...>>>` (stable since Rust 1.80), which constructs the value on first access. Also drop the unused `std::sync::Mutex` import that was only needed for the broken direct Mutex static. Add a per-path cache test (`croc_supports_json_caches_per_path`) that CodeRabbit's commit was missing — locks down the invariant that a v10 binary on PATH can't poison the v11+ bundled binary's cached capability result. Tests: 47 Rust + 58 TypeScript, all passing.
Two new 🟠 High issues that Macroscope flagged after CodeRabbit's auto-fix landed: 1. `transfer-code` event had no `session_id` (lib.rs:139, events.rs:123). Every other structured event payload carries `session_id` so stale events from a cancelled transfer can be filtered by the frontend. The `code` event was the odd one out — `on_code` only took a `String`, so a delayed code phrase from a cancelled transfer could overwrite the current transfer's displayed phrase. Fixed by introducing a `TransferCode` struct (carries `code: String` + `session_id: u64`) and changing the trait signature. App.tsx now filters by `transferSessionRef.current` for the code event like the others. 2. Premature `completed` state during `zipAfterReceive` (App.tsx:680). The `transfer-phase:complete` handler was flipping the UI to `completed` immediately, but post-processing (zipAfterReceive) still runs in `transfer-exit` *after* that. If the zip then failed, the `transfer-exit` handler bailed out because `phaseRef.current` was no longer "running" and the failure never surfaced. Fixed by demoting the "complete" handler to only update `progress.phase = "finishing"` (intermediate state). The "completed" terminal state is set exclusively by `transfer-exit` when the process actually exits with code 0. Tests: 47 Rust + 58 TypeScript, all passing.

🟠 High src/App.tsx:665
Initial v2 events, especially the sender's transfer-code, are discarded, so JSON-mode sends can finish without a phrase and therefore without the receive link needed by the receiver. transferSessionRef.current is updated only after await invoke("start_transfer") resolves, while the backend starts emitting events before that promise resolves; buffer these events or establish the session ID before starting the event pump.

Adopt croc --json events (schollz/croc#1237)
Migrates the Tauri backend to consume croc's machine-readable NDJSON

legacy regex-based progress parser stays as a fallback so v10 binaries
keep working.
