Related to #47133

Draft. Do not merge. A self-review of 401cdff says that a record and three decisions come first. #47729 is the record: 14 known-issue rows, no source change. The rule gets no more pushes before a maintainer answers:

  1. Does "what is written means what the file means" cover text that tsc refuses, such as a ? () => ({}) : c => c?
  2. Can a repair keep names that tsc does not need, or must it differ from Prettier only where tsc needs it?
  3. Is a rule of 599 source lines acceptable for a shape that 0 of 85,594 TypeScript files have?

Problem

  • With arrowParens: "avoid", bun fmt prints a ? b => ({ c }) : d => (e): T => f, as Prettier 3.9.9 does. tsc reads ({ c }): d => (e) as an arrow function, with no syntax error.
  • can_avoid_parentheses (src/format/js/print/parameters.rs) prints d bare.

Fix

  • In a family of conditionals that tsc misreads, each keeps (d) => after its : where ( .. ) comes before it (AfterColon, src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs).
  • Verified: test/cli/format/format.test.ts (124 tests, 67 fail on main).
  • Self-reviewed: 34 concerns raised, 0 addressed. The review says to wait for the answers. Notes lists them.

Background

  • tsc tries ( .. ) before a conditional's : as parameters, and a name after it as their return type.
  • A family is the conditionals that end each other's operands.

Downsides

  • With /* prettier-ignore */ on a member of a family, tsc reports a syntax error for main's text, and reads this PR's text as another program.
  • tsc still reads 1,061 of 176,379 generated texts as another program.
  • tsc does not need 3,984 of 64,875 kept names. .text grows 21,504 B.
Notes

Review of 401cdff

A self-review says that the damage is real, and that this rule is too large for a shape that no user has reported. Its order of work:

  1. Record the damage on main as known issues: bun fmt: record known issues where tsc reads the printed text in another way #47729.
  2. A maintainer answers the three questions at the top.
  3. The rule, as this draft, only after that. If the answer to question 3 is no, this PR closes and the rows of bun fmt: record known issues where tsc reads the printed text in another way #47729 stay.

It raised 34 concerns. None is addressed: the review says not to push the rule again before the answers. These are about this head, and I checked each with the build of this head:

  • A prettier-ignore comment on one member of a family. tsc reports a syntax error for main's text, and reads this PR's text as another program with no error. judge.mjs --file with eight such texts written by hand gives silenced 5 and pairs 3. No generator has such a text. Example: x = p ? (cond ? (q) => ({ x }) : (deps) => (id): T => /* prettier-ignore */ (t ? (m, n) : d => f)) : z;.
  • The rule guesses the layout. It reads the text as Prettier prints it where each conditional fits on its line. Where a conditional that an arrow function returns breaks, Prettier prints no parentheses around it, and tsc reads another program. That happens at width 80 with a block in the conditional or with long names: x = a ? (q) => ({ c: q }) : (deps) => t ? () => { g(); } : (id): T => 1; and x = cond ? (q) => isTheFirstOfTwoVeryLongConditionNames ? theValueWithAnotherLongName : (first, second) : (d) => (e): T => f;.
  • --experimental-ternaries. Prettier prints a ? b : (⏎c⏎) only where a ? b fits on its line. The rule takes those parentheses for granted: x = c6 ? (a, b) : (y) => aLongNameOfACondition.withAProperty ? u : (z) => (e): T => f; at width 40 is printed as Prettier prints it, and tsc reads another program.
  • A case colon before a label. case a ? (q) => ({ q }) : (d) => e: label: for (;;) {}: tsc reads another program with no error, from main's text and from this PR's. It does not depend on the layout.
  • yield. The family walk stops at yield, and the check of the parameters does not. x = o ? yield t ? (m, n) : (d) => f : c ? (q) => ({ q }) : (deps) => (id): T => g; is printed with (deps) => and with d => f. tsc reports a syntax error for that text, as for Prettier's.
  • The file name. can_have_jsx asks the name of the file. x = a ? async<U>(q) : (d) => (e): T => f; is repaired in a.ts. It is not repaired in A.TS, or in <script setup lang="ts"> of a .vue file.
  • Names that tsc does not need. In a misread family each member keeps its names. At width 80, Bun keeps 64,875 pairs of parentheses in the 36,502 repaired matrix texts. tsc reads the text as the source without 3,984 of them, one at a time. Example: x = c6 ? (a, b) : (y) => (a1: T) => t ? () => ({}) : (d) => (e): T => f; keeps (y) =>.
  • The oracle. A run does not fail when a repair is lost: left.silent is only printed. Its names are one letter long, so no generator reaches the layouts above at width 80.

The review reports more, which I did not check again:

  • returned_arrow and breaks_chain are copies of walks of the arrow printer.
  • // prettier-ignore is read as written at two nodes only.
  • The duties of removes_soft_lines are written nowhere.
  • The sentence about --debug-check in the two guides is not true for TypeScript in Vue, Svelte, HTML and Markdown.
  • No test in CI asks tsc.

Not done: no issue is opened, and nothing is reported to Prettier or oxc. A maintainer has to decide both.

The damage

// input
export const x = cond ? (q) => ({ c: q }) : (deps) => (id): T => f(deps, id);

// bun fmt --arrow-parens=avoid on main, Prettier 3.9.9, oxfmt 0.75.0
export const x = cond
  ? q => ({ c: q })
  : deps =>
      (id): T =>
        f(deps, id);

// this PR
export const x = cond
  ? q => ({ c: q })
  : (deps) =>
      (id): T =>
        f(deps, id);
  • tsc reads the middle text as cond ? q => (({ c: q }): deps => (id)) : T => f(deps, id). Its parser reports nothing, and ts.transpileModule emits that other program.
  • The next bun fmt on main reads it the same way, and prints ? q =>⏎ ({ c: q }): deps =>⏎ id⏎ : T => f(deps, id);.
  • With (deps), tsc reads ({ c: q }): (deps) => (id) as parameters and a function type, finds no => after it, and gives that reading up.

The rule

AfterColon::enter runs once for each conditional expression, only with arrowParens: "avoid" and where a TypeScript parser reads the code: a TypeScript file, or JavaScript with the parser typescript or babel-ts. Not Flow.

A family is a conditional and the conditionals that end its operands, through the bodies of arrow functions. The outermost conditional of a family looks at each member once (is_family_misread). The members take the answer from the context.

For each member, read_by_tsc reads the arrow functions after the : once, as tsc does:

  1. tsc tries ( .. ): d => .. if what follows the : starts with a name that it can read as a type: d =>, or parameters in parentheses and then the name, which is a function type: (a, b) => d =>. None of these is async or has a return type. The name is not keyof, unique, readonly or infer.

  2. The operand before the : ends with ( .. ) that tsc reads as parameters with no error (ends_with_parameters):

    • a sequence of names, patterns or this, or an assignment to a name or to a pattern.
    • async(a), and async<U>(a) in a .ts, .mts or .cts file.
    • <U>(a, b) and <any>(a, b).
    • an arrow function that returns one of those, or an object of names.
    • in the parentheses of a JSDoc type cast, also one name, this or an array.

    The rule reads through the value of yield, and through a conditional that is printed with no parentheses.

  3. What follows d => is a body. tsc reads it through arrow functions, and on after the : of a conditional that ends one. It stops at an arrow function that it is sure of: (), (e: U), (e?), (...e), (this: U), or <U,>(e) in a file that can have JSX.

  4. In that body, tsc keeps an (e): T => f only before a :. So the body ends before the : of one that it gives up, if (e) is an expression too and T => f is an arrow function: names, defaults, patterns, (this), <U>(e) in a .ts file, and a return type that is one name: T, string, await, or | T, which Prettier prints as T. Not (e, g: U), Promise<T>, void or enum.

The walk hands its state to the conditional that ends the arrow functions (Trial), so each arrow function is read once. It goes on after such a : only where that conditional has no parentheses for sure. Prettier prints parentheses around a conditional that an arrow function returns, where it fits on the line. It does not fit where Prettier breaks a chain of arrow functions in it, and it has none at the end of a chain that Prettier breaks (breaks_chain): a chain with a pattern, a default, a type parameter or an (e): T in it. With --experimental-ternaries, the body ends at the parentheses of a ? b : (⏎c⏎).

In a family with such a member, each member keeps the names after its :, up to async or a return type. It does so only if ( .. ) is printed at the end of its operand before the : (can_end_with_parameters):

  • an object that an arrow function returns, a sequence or an assignment.
  • a call of async.
  • <U>( .. ) where the printer puts parentheses around the operand.
  • the parentheses of a JSDoc type cast.

It looks through the part after the : of a conditional and through the value of yield. The other members print what Prettier prints.

// one kept name is not enough: with `(deps)` alone, tsc reads `(m, n): d => f` and takes the `:` before `z`
x = p ? cond ? q => ({ x }) : (deps) => (id): T => t ? (m, n) : (d) => f : z;
// with `(d)` alone, tsc reads `(a, b): y => ..` up to `(e)`
x = p ? (a, b) : (y) => cond ? () => ({}) : (d) => (e): T => f;
// the body of `x =>` goes on after the `:` of the conditional that ends it: `f(q, r)` has no parameters, so `y` stays
x = cond ? q => ({ q }) : (x) => t ? f(q, r) : y => (id): T => 1;
// tsc keeps `(p): Promise<R> => ..` before the `:` of `(e): T`, and gives up `(e): T => f`
x = cond ? q => ({ q }) : (d) => (p): Promise<R> => g => (e): T => f;

A family ends at:

  • a JSDoc type cast, which keeps its parentheses. In the flavor of oxfmt, an arrow function that another one returns has no such parentheses, and the rule reads on as the printer of arrow chains does.
  • in the default printer, a conditional with an element in it: Prettier prints parentheses around its operands where it breaks. In a cell of a test.each table, and wherever else the soft line breaks are removed, there are no such parentheses, and the conditional is a member. --experimental-ternaries prints none.
  • anything that does not end an operand: an argument, an element of an array, an assigned value.

A // prettier-ignore comment does not turn the rule off. What is under it is printed as it is written, so the rule reads the parentheses that the parser recorded there (Expr::is_parenthesized): (q) => ({ q }), (q) => (r), (q) => (a = 1, b) and (q) => async(r) end with parameters, and (q) => (({ q })), (q) => ((p) => ({ p })) and (q) => ({ q: (r) }) do not.

What changed after the reviews of 0888a8a and 4c482ed

Two reviews had 2 findings with a thread, 3 notes without one and 5 optional findings. All 10 changed the code or the judge.

  • The rule read the source text of an operand under // prettier-ignore to find a (. It reads the tree now (Expr::is_parenthesized): a ( in a string or in a comment does not count. Defaults count there as they are written, and so do (this), async(a), <U>(a), and what an arrow function returns under a comment of its own.
  • <any>(q, r) and the other keyword types that can name a type parameter count as <U>(q, r) does. <void> and <null> do not.
  • (this) and (this, id) before a return type are no parameters that tsc is sure of. (this: U) is.
  • The parentheses of a JSDoc type cast around one name, this or an array count as parameters.
  • The body after the name goes on after the : of a conditional that ends it. 5 known issues of that kind are repaired.
  • yield before the : counts for the conditional itself, and async?.(a) does not.
  • judge.mjs: a text with a parameter list that ends in , is exempt from pairs only if the reader misreads what Prettier prints for the source with trailingComma: "none".

The same push closes what the reviews did not name, and what the oracle counted as read with no error:

  • A conditional right before the : is looked into where it is printed with no parentheses. 5 known issues of that kind are repaired.
  • The rule read on to the first return type only. tsc keeps an (e): T => .. before a :, so the rule reads on now to one that tsc can give up: d => (p): Promise<R> => g => (e): T => f.
  • ({ id = 1 }) before a return type is an expression for tsc's parser. The return types await and yield are names. async<U>(q) before the : is tried as an arrow function in a .ts, .mts or .cts file.
  • One walk reads the arrow functions after each : once, and hands its state to the conditional that ends them. A chain of conditionals that each end the y => of the one before stays linear.
  • judge.mjs counts the texts that the reader reads as another program with no error (left.silent). It also counts the ones where Bun repairs a text that main prints in another way than Prettier (repairedOfMain): the parentheses of a type cast in the flavor of oxfmt, and a cell of a table.

The head before had 30 known-issue rows and 23 sources in known-issues.json. 8 of the rows and 8 of the sources are repaired. At width 80, tsc read 4,751 of the 176,379 matrix texts as another program with no error. It reads 1,061 now.

Not covered

Bun prints what Prettier prints, and tsc does not read that as the input. 21 rows pin these in CI, and known-issues.json has 20 more sources for judge.mjs --file.

tsc reports a syntax error, and the parser of microsoft/TypeScript#64233 reads the input (18 of the 21 rows):

  • a ? () => ({}) : c => c: no return type follows the name.
  • a return type that is no name of a parameter: Promise<T>, void, null, this, A.B, T[], enum.
  • a first name that starts a type: keyof, readonly, unique, infer.
  • parameters before the return type that are no expression: (id, key: U), (id, ...rest), (id, key?), <U, V>(id), <U extends V>(id), <U = V>(id), <const U>(id), and <U>(id) in a .mts file.
  • <U.V>(q, r) and <U>(q.r, s) before the :.

tsc reads another program with no error (3 of the 21 rows):

  • an arrow function whose body ends right before the : of a conditional around it. tsc keeps ( .. ): name => body there, and the conditional takes that :. If an (e): T is around it or follows that :, tsc finds another : and reports nothing. Two examples: p ? c ? q => [q] : x => (id): T => t ? (m, n) : d => 1 : z and a ? b ? q => ({ q }) : s => f(s) : x => (id): T => 1. The parser of fix(64231): avoid parsing async() calls as typed arrows in conditionals microsoft/TypeScript#64233 reads the first one as the input.
  • a conditional that Prettier puts in parentheses only where it fits on the line, with no chain of arrow functions that Prettier breaks. At width 80 it prints x => (t ? u : (id): T => 1) and a ? q => (b ? c : (x, y)) : d => (e): T => f, and tsc reads those as the input. It prints them without those parentheses where the conditional breaks: at width 20, and at width 80 with longer names or with a block in the conditional.
  • a case colon before a label: case a ? q => ({ q }) : d => e: label: for (;;) {}. No row of this PR has it. bun fmt: record known issues where tsc reads the printed text in another way #47729 has one.

At width 80, tsc reads 1,061 of the 176,379 matrix texts as another program with no error. With the head before this push it reads 4,751. All of them are of the first kind.

Under // prettier-ignore, the rule reads the parentheses of the operand, of what its last arrow function returns, and of a conditional or a yield right under the comment. It does not read a conditional that an arrow function returns there.

Other open points

  • The rule does not follow an arrow function whose body ends right before the : of a conditional around it (the first kind of "Not covered"). It needs a second state that goes from the end of one operand to the : of the conditional around it.
  • With trailingComma: "all", parameters on lines of their own end in ,. tsc reports a syntax error for Prettier's text there, and the parser of fix(64231): avoid parsing async() calls as typed arrows in conditionals microsoft/TypeScript#64233 reads the input. Bun keeps (d) in both layouts.
  • With the default options, Prettier removes the parentheses of cond ? (() => ({})) : { m() {} }, and tsc then reports a syntax error.

Oracle

test/cli/format/oracle/arrow-parens/judge.mjs is not in CI: it needs the npm packages of Prettier and TypeScript. It formats generated sources with Prettier 3.9.9, with a build of main and with this build, and has a parser read each text. broken: the reader reads Prettier's text as the source, and not Bun's. pairs: it reads both as the source, and the texts differ. silenced: it reports a syntax error for Prettier's text, and reads Bun's as another program. left: it reads neither as the source. The last column has the ones of left that the reader reads as another program with no error.

  • All 66 runs are of this head. TypeScript 7 is 7.0.2, and 7.1.0-beta for one run of --families and one of --paths.
  • Every run ends with exit code 0. No text is unstable, and none is refused anew.
  • No generator has a prettier-ignore comment on one member of a family. Eight such texts written by hand give silenced 5 and pairs 3 (first section).
  • The generators have more sources than for the head before: the matrix 176,379 (164,294 before), --paths 87,458 (15,630), --comments 7,792 (5,316).
  • tsc 6.0.2 reads 1,061 of the 176,379 matrix texts at width 80 as another program with no error, from Prettier's text and from Bun's. With the head before this push it read 4,751 of the same sources. The ones that are left are of the first kind of "Not covered". The --sites and --comments generators have none left, and --paths has none at width 80.
  • With the parser of fix(64231): avoid parsing async() calls as typed arrows in conditionals microsoft/TypeScript#64233, 19,619 more texts are read as the source from both tools: 901 at width 80 and 18,718 at width 20 (pairsBeforeBrokenList, see "Other open points"). With --trailing-comma=none there are none.
  • At width 20, Prettier breaks <any>(q, r) before the : into <any>(⏎(q, r)⏎) in 56 matrix texts, and in 62 with the parser of fix(64231): avoid parsing async() calls as typed arrows in conditionals microsoft/TypeScript#64233. tsc tries no parameters there. Bun keeps (x) => as it does where the assertion is on one line (pairsAfterBrokenAssertion).
  • In 71 texts Bun repairs a text that main prints in another way than Prettier (repairedOfMain): 30 with --comments --oxfmt, where main prints the parentheses of a JSDoc type cast, and 41 cells of a table with --matrix --jsx --each.
  • With --babel-ts, 205 texts count as silenced against main. All have async<U>(q), which main prints as async < U > q in a .js file. That is the other program.
  • With --always, Bun keeps nothing: 0 of 176,379.
  • known-issues.json: all 20 sources are left for tsc 6.0.2 and 7.0.2.
  • Node 26.3.0 type stripping, for the 32,725 matrix texts at width 80 that Bun changes and that Node reads as sources: it reads 32,501 of Bun's texts as the source and refuses 224. Of Prettier's texts it reads 1,200 as the source, 13,490 as another program, and refuses 18,035. None goes from right to wrong.

Measurements

Main is 3f3a9ff, the merge base, built from the same tree but for src/format. Both builds are LTO release builds. perf, valgrind, bloaty and strace are not in the container. Instructions are counted with a perf_event_open counter (instructions:u) under setarch -R.

  • Instructions per statement, main vs PR (medians of 7 interleaved runs, 100,000 statements per file, spread of the runs up to 69):

    statement default options avoid
    x = b(); 0 0
    f(y => y.id);, x = y => y;, x = y => {}; -21 -24 to -37
    x = a => b => c; -42 -50
    x = a ? b() : c; +18 +242
    x = c ? () => {} : d; +18 +253
    x = c ? () => ({ k: 1 }) : d; +18 +311
    x = c ? d : () => b(); +18 +565
    x = c ? q => ({ k }) : y => z; -23 +876
    x = c ? (q) => ({ k: 1 }) : (y) => (z): T => 1; (nothing kept) -45 +2,324
    x = c ? (q) => ({ k }) : (y) => (z): T => 1; ((y) kept) -57 +3,631

    x = a ? b() : c; is 8,122 instructions on main. An arrow function costs less than on main: the check of the option is inline. The head before this push had +215 for the plain conditional and +3,251 for the last row: the walk does more now.

  • Real code: 85,594 .ts, .tsx, .mts and .cts files of 22 repositories, as main formats them, one thread. avoid: 82,092,132,887 -> 82,123,831,315 instructions (+0.039%, spread of the runs 0.003%). Default options: 82,223,516,792 -> 82,224,534,779 (+0.001%, spread 0.002%).

  • Real code, bytes: main and the PR print the same bytes for all 85,594 files, with avoid and with the default options (SHA-1 of each file). bun fmt --debug-check with avoid reports none of them.

  • Release text: +21,504 B (size). .rodata is the same.

  • Frames (objdump): format_consequent_and_alternate 0xe0 -> 0x110, ConditionalLike::fmt 0x240 -> 0x250, and the closure of FormatConditionalLike::fmt 0xb0 -> 0xd0. AfterColon::within (0x1f0) has returned before the operands are written.

  • Nesting: for 18 shapes of nested conditionals and arrow functions, the deepest input that formats is the same on main and on the PR (2,113 to 16,381 levels).

  • Growth: a balanced tree of 16,384 conditionals of the shape costs 556,955,875 instructions, and the same tree with (e: U): T, where nothing is kept, 569,567,849. Main: 521,179,113 and 544,498,584. A test holds the ratio of the two trees below 4. A chain of conditionals that each end the y => .. after the : of the one before costs 53,265,518 instructions at 2,000 levels and 138,803,049 at 4,000 (main: 46,437,355 and 123,860,061). The walk reads each arrow function of such a chain once.

Earlier reviews

A review of da25772 raised 28 concerns and asked for the family. One conditional cannot decide alone: one kept name lets tsc take the : of a conditional before or around it. 22 concerns were addressed in cea2d4b. The 6 others:

  • Rows for the default options belong to other rules of the printer.
  • The oracle judges this family. It has no generator for every kind of expression.
  • No issue is opened for the known issues.
  • Prettier's ast compare check is not ported to the conformance runner.
  • Nothing is reported to Prettier, oxc, swc or TypeScript.
  • The count for Node is for the texts that Bun changes only.

Two reviews of cea2d4b had 11 findings. 8 changed the code or the judge in 0888a8a:

  • A // prettier-ignore comment no longer turns the rule off.
  • A return type | T counts as T.
  • A member keeps no name after { q }, yield q and <U>q.
  • Casts count in the flavor of oxfmt.
  • againstMain.pairs is an error with every flag.

3 have an answer. A cached signature of a hugged argument cannot hold such a conditional. The timing test keeps one input size. The guides name bun fmt --debug-check and claim no more.

History

  • The first version (d8ad894) kept (c) => in a range after the : that it guessed. A review found that an added (c) turns files that compile into ones that tsc refuses.
  • The second version (5fd6625) put parentheses around the arrow function before the :. A review found that most of its pairs were not needed, and Node's type stripping refuses every such text.
  • The third version (4cf7ad3) kept (d) => with a walk for each name in can_avoid_parentheses. A review found a limit of 16 names, a syntax error made silent, and a quadratic walk.
  • The fourth version (21be15b) decided once for each conditional. A review found the family above: one conditional cannot decide alone.
  • The fifth version (cea2d4b, 0888a8a) is the family. Its reviews found the points of the two sections above.
  • This version reads each family as tsc does, in one walk.
  • A review of this version says to record the damage first (bun fmt: record known issues where tsc reads the printed text in another way #47729), and to wait for three decisions before the rule goes on. The first section has it.
  • Each condition of the rule has a row that fails without it. I built the rule with a switch for each of its 149 conditions. With each switch on, at least one test of the block fails. Of 261 candidate rows, the 119 that a switch or a reviewer needs stay.
  • Test suites run: the 124 tests of this rule and conformance.test.ts with the debug build, and all 15 files of test/cli/format with the release build (2,979 pass). cargo clippy -p bun_format and test/internal/source-lints pass.

… conditional's `:`

With `arrowParens: "avoid"`, `bun fmt` printed
`cond ? q => ({ c: q }) : deps => (id): T => f(deps, id)`. TypeScript reads
`({ c: q }): deps => (id)` in that text as an arrow function with the return
type `deps`, and `cond ? () => ({}) : x => x` as a syntax error. Prettier
3.9.9 and oxfmt 0.75.0 print the same text.

`ReturnTypeReading` finds the first `( .. )` that the operand before the `:`
can end with in any layout and that can start parameters. From there to where
the type after the `:` can end, an arrow function keeps the parentheses around
a parameter that is only a name. The rule does not depend on the line width
or on the parentheses of the source.

The rule is off without `arrowParens: "avoid"`, in JavaScript, and where no
`=>` can follow what starts after the `:`.

`test/cli/format/oracle/arrow-parens/judge.mjs` has TypeScript's parser read
what is printed for a matrix of operands and for random conditionals.

Status: draft, not for merge. A self-review of 401cdff says that this rule needs a maintainer's decision on its scope and its size first. The PR body has the three questions. #47729 records the damage as known issues on main, with no source change. The rule gets no more pushes until a maintainer answers.

Reproduced with a build of main (3f3a9ff):

echo '{ "arrowParens": "avoid" }' > .prettierrc
echo 'export const x = cond ? (q) => ({ c: q }) : (deps) => (id): T => f(deps, id);' > a.ts
bun fmt --debug-check a.ts
# error: Not formatted, because formatting would change what the code does
bun fmt a.ts && cat a.ts
# export const x = cond
#   ? q => ({ c: q })
#   : deps =>
#       (id): T =>
#         f(deps, id);

tsc 6.0.2 and 7.0.2 read that text without a syntax error as cond ? (q => (({ c: q }): deps => id)) : (T => f(deps, id)).

With this PR the third line is : (deps) =>, and --debug-check exits 0.

Known at 401cdff: with a prettier-ignore comment on one member of a family of conditionals, tsc reports a syntax error for main's text, and reads this PR's text as another program with no error. The PR body lists this and the other open findings of the review.

CI: build 136814 has no failure in test/cli/format. The tests that are red there are not touched by this PR:

Walkthrough

The formatter detects conditional-expression contexts where TypeScript may parse an unparenthesized arrow function differently. With arrowParens: "avoid", it retains parentheses for affected arrows. Tests, a parser-based oracle, fixtures, and migration guides cover the behavior.

Changes

Conditional arrow parentheses

Layer / File(s) Summary
Formatter state and soft-line handling
src/format/js/context.rs, src/format/ir/formatter.rs
JsFormatContext stores conditional-tracking and soft-line state. Line-removal methods set and restore the soft-line state while capturing formatted content.
Conditional span detection and formatting
src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs, src/format/js/print/parameters.rs, src/format/js/utils/experimental_ternary.rs, src/format/js/print/arrow_function_expression.rs
Conditional formatting detects TypeScript-sensitive arrow spans and manages AfterColon state. Arrow-parameter formatting checks that state before omitting parentheses. Experimental ternary formatting enters and leaves the state. has_complex_signature gains #[inline(always)].
Regression tests and migration guidance
test/cli/format/format.test.ts, docs/guides/format/migrate-from-oxfmt.mdx, docs/guides/format/migrate-from-prettier.mdx
Formatting tests cover output, repeat formatting, debug checks, nested conditionals, and performance. The migration guides describe the TypeScript parsing difference for Bun, oxfmt, and Prettier.
Parser-based oracle and fixtures
test/cli/format/oracle/arrow-parens/*, test/cli/format/oracle/fuzz/README.md
The oracle generates conditional-arrow cases and compares formatter output with parsed syntax trees and optional readers. A TypeScript 7 reader, known-issue samples, and fuzzing instructions support these comparisons.

Explanation

The description does not follow the repository template. It has no "What does this PR do?" section and no "How did you verify your code works?" section. It opens with a draft notice and a list of three open questions for maintainers, then describes a problem and a fix under "Problem" and "Fix" headings. The Problem and Fix sections give a clear summary of the behavior change: with arrowParens "avoid", bun fmt prints a form that tsc reads as a different program, and the PR keeps (d) => after the colon in misread conditional families. Verification is stated briefly: test/cli/format/format.test.ts (124 tests, 67 fail on main). The evidence block says the test does not run on the reviewer's machine and defers to CI. The description is long and contains much detail on measurement, history, and open points. The verification section lacks a clear reproduction for CI and does not state what was run to pass.

Resolution

Restructure the description to match the template. Add a "What does this PR do?" section that states the change in a few sentences. Move the Problem, Fix, and Background content under it, and trim the history and measurement detail. Add a "How did you verify your code works?" section that lists the exact commands run (for example, the bun test command for test/cli/format/format.test.ts and conformance.test.ts, and the debug and release builds used), the results, and the platforms covered. Resolve the three open maintainer questions or state clearly that the PR is blocked on them. Remove the draft-only notes from the template sections or keep them in a clearly marked status line.

The README command for judge.mjs only works from the arrow-parens directory.

The new row names ../arrow-parens/judge.mjs, but its command is node judge.mjs .... The other rows in the same table run from the fuzz directory, so a reader who follows the pattern runs this command there and gets a missing-file error.

Specify the directory in the row, for example cd ../arrow-parens && node judge.mjs --modules=<directory> --bun=<bun> --matrix. Alternatively, write the command as node ../arrow-parens/judge.mjs .... Both forms match the file column.

src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs:509-510
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Keep (y) only where TypeScript can read a return type.

For a JSX conditional chain, the formatter calls ReturnTypeReading::note with OperandParentheses::AroundEach (src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs:342). That path skips the gives_up_after_colon early return (conditional.rs:509-511). The recorded range then covers items.map((y) => y), so ReturnTypeReading::keeps_parentheses keeps (y) (src/format/js/print/parameters.rs:421).

The range is recorded while the document is built, before the layout is chosen. The parentheses are kept in both the flat and the broken layouts.

The rationale at conditional.rs:477-481 covers only ( .. ) directly before a :. Here, (y) is inside call arguments and is followed by =>. TypeScript parses a ? b : items.map(y => y) as an ordinary conditional. The broken form, with the alternate wrapped as : (, items.map(y => y), ), is also ordinary. Removing (y) therefore does not damage this input. src/format/CLAUDE.md says the exception "applies to nothing but the inputs that the tool damages", so keeping (y) here extends the exception beyond its stated scope.

No safe local edit is established. Dropping the AroundEach path would also remove the protection that the (c) => (d): T => e rows in test/cli/format/format.test.ts expect. The range would need to narrow to a parenthesized operand directly before :.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked three things that turned out fine: the no_wrap/is_nil rewrite in FormatJsxChainExpression (src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs) is behaviour-preserving; return_type_readings in JsFormatContext cannot grow without bound, since note pops every reading that ends before the new one starts, so only nested conditionals stack; and the new own-case fixture conditional-that-is-no-return-type.ts.snap is byte-identical to its .prettier.snap, so it only certifies inputs where Bun still matches Prettier, with the deliberate deviations covered by the rows in format.test.ts instead.

Extended reasoning...

The change adds a 300-line parser-emulation heuristic (ReturnTypeReading) to the TypeScript printer that keeps (c) => after a conditional's : under arrowParens: "avoid", hooks it into can_avoid_parentheses, and adds tests, an oracle script and doc notes; it touches no security-sensitive surface. Six inline findings already mark over- and under-reach of the heuristic, so this note only records the adjacent concerns examined and ruled out.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

…nal's `:`

In a file that TypeScript reads, an arrow function before the `:` of a conditional gets parentheses if the last thing
it returns is written in `( .. )` that starts like parameters, and what follows the `:` can be a return type:
`a ? (() => ({})) : c => c`. TypeScript does not try `((` as parameters. So it reads what is written, with `c =>` or
`(c) =>` after the `:`, and with any `arrowParens`.

- The arrow function is the operand before the `:`, or it ends a conditional that is that operand:
  `a ? b ? c : (() => ({})) : d => d`.
- The rule is an arm of `needs_parentheses_in_position`. It replaces `ReturnTypeReading`, which kept `(c) =>` in a
  range after the `:`. `can_avoid_parentheses`, the printers of conditionals and `JsFormatContext` are as they were
  before that rule.
- `is_sequence` asks `as_binary()`, not `kind()`: the rule calls it for each arrow function that it looks at.
- The judge counts the texts that Prettier prints right and `bun fmt` prints wrong, and exits with 1 if there is one.

The two follow-ups from the review summary, as of 7338fc2:

  • test/cli/format/oracle/fuzz/README.md gives the command as it runs from that directory: node ../arrow-parens/judge.mjs --modules=<directory> --bun=<bun> --matrix.
  • The parentheses that stayed after the : in a conditional with a JSX element are gone with the old rule. Parameters after the : are printed as Prettier prints them.

…` as a return type

With `arrowParens: "avoid"`, `bun fmt` printed `a ? b => ({ c }) : d => (e): T => f`,
as Prettier 3.9.9 and oxfmt 0.75.0 do. tsc reads that text as
`a ? b => (({ c }): d => (e)) : T => f`, with no syntax error: it tries `( .. )`
before the `:` as parameters, and the name after the `:` as their return type.

`can_avoid_parentheses` now keeps the parentheses of each name between the `:` and
the arrow function with the return type: `a ? b => ({ c }) : (d) => (e): T => f`.
`(d) =>` is no type. The rule applies if the text before the `:` ends with `( .. )`
that tsc reads as parameters with no error. Every other text is as Prettier prints
it.

- The parentheses around the arrow function before the `:`, which the commits
  before this one added, are gone. `needs_parentheses` is as on main.
- The rule is for TypeScript only. It does not apply in a conditional with an
  element in its chain, or with a comment between the test and the return type.
- `format.test.ts` has a row for each shape, with what Prettier prints, and a test
  that asks tsc how it reads each text. 22 rows pin texts that tsc still misreads.
- `test/cli/format/oracle/arrow-parens/judge.mjs` generates conditionals and judges
  them with tsc. It has new generators (`--sites`, `--comments`), counts what
  Node's type stripping reads, and fails for parentheses that tsc does not need.
- `test/cli/format/own/cases/arrow-parens-avoid` is deleted: main prints the same
  bytes for its inputs.

…ch conditional

With `arrowParens: "avoid"`, Prettier prints `a ? b => ({ c }) : d => (e): T => f`, which tsc reads as
`a ? b => (({ c }): d => (e)) : T => f`. `can_avoid_parentheses` keeps `(d) =>` there.

- The conditional printers call `AfterColon::enter` once for each conditional. It puts the span of the names in
  the format context while the operands are written, and `can_avoid_parentheses` asks whether an arrow function
  starts in that span. No walk runs for each name, and the number of names has no limit.
- The return type is one name: `T`, `string`. For `Promise<T>`, `void` or `A.B`, tsc reports a syntax error for
  what Prettier prints, and `bun fmt` prints that text.
- The operand before the `:` ends with `( .. )` that tsc reads as parameters with no error: an object or a
  sequence of names, an assignment to a name or to a pattern. After `...` in an object, only a name is a
  parameter. A conditional before the `:` is not looked into.
- A conditional that ends an arrow function after the `:` of another conditional keeps no names: tsc would read
  on from the `( .. )` before that other `:`, with no error.
- Only a `prettier-ignore` comment and a JSDoc type cast turn the rule off. `--experimental-ternaries` writes no
  parentheses around the operands of a conditional with an element in it, so the rule applies there.
- With the default options, a conditional costs one check of the option.
- Tests: 108 rows in three tables, read by the `typescript` package and by `typescript7`. A row of a known issue
  also says what a second run of `bun fmt` does. judge.mjs counts the texts that tsc refuses from Prettier and
  reads as another program from Bun, and what a second run does with the texts that tsc misreads. `--paths` builds
  conditionals at the end of what follows another `:`, and `--reader` takes another parser: typescript7.mjs is one.
- Both migration guides say that the rule covers one shape.
…reads

With `arrowParens: "avoid"`, Prettier prints
`a ? b => ({ c }) : d => (e): T => f`. tsc reads that as
`a ? b => (({ c }): d => (e)) : T => f`, with no syntax error.

The conditionals that end each other's operands are a family. The
outermost one looks at each of them once. If tsc misreads one, each
conditional of the family keeps the names after its `:` where `( .. )`
can come before that `:`. One kept name alone lets tsc take the `:` of
a conditional around it or before it.

The test for the misreading follows the lookahead of tsc: a function
type before the name, parameters before the return type that are an
expression too, and `async(a)`, `<U>(a, b)` or `(this, a)` before the
`:`. A first name that starts a type and a return type that is a
reserved word stay as Prettier prints them: tsc reports a syntax error
for those.

A type cast is a border of a family. A conditional with an element in
it is one too where Prettier prints parentheses around its operands:
everywhere but in text that loses its soft line breaks, which the
context now knows.

The `prettier-ignore` comments of a file are a sorted list of offsets,
so the question about a span is a binary search.

The readings of tsc are checked by the oracle in
test/cli/format/oracle/arrow-parens, out of CI. In CI, each condition
of the rule has a row that fails without it.

@Jarred-Sumner One question decides where this rule stops. The details are in the PR body, under "Questions for a maintainer".

With arrowParens: "avoid", Prettier prints a ? () => ({}) : c => c. tsc 6.0.2 and 7 report ':' expected. for that text. The parser of microsoft/TypeScript#64233, which is open and not merged, reads it as the input. This PR prints Prettier's text there, as main does. With (c) =>, tsc reads the input today, and the text differs from Prettier in a place where the new parser needs no parentheses.

Should bun fmt keep the parentheses in such places now?

The same question holds with the default options, which this PR does not change. Prettier removes the parentheses of cond ? (() => ({})) : { m() {} }, and tsc then reports ';' expected..

1761-1762: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Poor tradeoff

Add a second input size to the linear-time test.

The assertion at lines 1761-1762 compares the odd and plain CPU times at one input size. A cost that grows superlinearly in both variants raises both times. The ratio then moves toward 1, so the assertion can still pass. The test title promises linear time, but the check cannot detect growth that affects both variants equally.

Run the same odd and plain pair at a second size. Compare how each variant's CPU time grows with input size. Keep the debug and ASAN sizes within the file's time budget. The other linear-time tests in this file (around lines 2265, 8138, and 8392) use the same single-size ratio, so decide this pattern once for the file.

Update the linear-time checks using `files`, `run`, and `slowdown` to run the
odd and plain inputs at a second size and compare each variant’s CPU-time growth
across sizes, rather than relying on a ratio at one size. Apply this
consistently to the analogous checks in the file, keeping the added sizes within
the debug and ASAN time budget.

1762-1762: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Check the --check exit status in the performance test.

The test reads only the CPU ratio. It does not read the process exit status. A run that exits 2 reports a formatter refusal, and such a run can finish faster than a formatted run. The ratio assertion can then pass without exercising the conditional formatting. Accept only exit 0 (already formatted) or exit 1 (formatting differences) before the ratio assertion.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The TypeScript addition makes the instruction to use bun fmt --debug-check to find meaning-changing output appear applicable to this ambiguity. Yet the new knownIssues rows labeled unchanged, including the keyof case, explicitly expect a zero debug-check exit code even though the table describes them as text TypeScript does not read as the input.

The command reports success and the user misses a TypeScript semantic change the guide says it can find.

This can occur when: A user runs --debug-check on a conditional-arrow case for which Bun's second formatting pass leaves the changed parse unchanged.

…are printed before each `:`

- A `// prettier-ignore` comment no longer turns the rule off. An operand under it
  is printed as it is written, so the rule reads the parentheses of the source there.
- A return type `| T` counts as `T`, which is what Prettier prints.
- A conditional of the family keeps the names after its `:` only where `( .. )` is
  printed before that `:`: not after `{ q }`, `yield q` or `<U>q`. The parentheses of
  a JSDoc type cast count, and so do the ones around the operand of `<U>(a => b)`.
- In the flavor of oxfmt, a chain of arrow functions has no parentheses of a type
  cast around an arrow function that another one returns. The rule walks the chain
  as the printer does.

Answers to the three review notes of cea2d4b that have no thread:

  • The timing test now asserts the exit code of each run (1: the file is read, and is not as bun fmt prints it). A run that refuses the file cannot pass as a fast one.
  • The timing test keeps one input size. It compares the shape that keeps (d) => with the same tree where nothing is kept, as the other timing tests of the file compare an odd shape with a plain one. The PR body has the numbers for two sizes: from 8,192 to 16,384 leaves the instructions grow by 1.995, on main and on this branch.
  • docs/guides/format/migrate-from-prettier.mdx has no change. The sentence names bun fmt --debug-check as a way to find files where formatting would change what the code means. For the row with keyof, tsc reports a syntax error for what Prettier prints, and the parser of bun fmt reads that text as the input. So --debug-check has nothing to report there.

For q => ({ /* ( */ a }) followed by (deps) => (id): T => y, the alternate loses its parentheses. The printed form matches a form that TypeScript can read as a different program.

The project guidelines for src/format/js/** prohibit scanning source text to find tokens. Determine whether each parsed property value is parenthesized from the syntax tree instead.

Keep parentheses on an arrow alternate that follows a yield consequent.

Under arrowParens: "avoid", a ? yield (q, r) : (d) => (e): T => f prints the alternate as d => (e): T => f. TypeScript 5.9.3 rejects that output with ':' expected. ends_with_parameters in src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs does not follow a yield operand, but can_end_with_parameters at lines 503-510 does. As a result, the yield-prefixed (q, r) is not treated as a misreadable parameter list, and the parentheses are dropped.

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

can_end_with_parameters accepts any call whose callee is async, whereas ends_with_parameters rejects optional calls and calls with type arguments. Once another conditional marks the family as misread, this broader check may protect an unrelated arrow after async<U>(q).

The inner arrow may retain unnecessary (y) parentheses despite the avoid option.

This can occur when: A nested conditional in a misread family has async<U>(q) before its colon and (y) => y after it, with arrowParens: "avoid".

…rn type that it gives up

With `arrowParens: "avoid"`, a parameter keeps its parentheses after the `:` of a conditional where tsc
reads its name as a return type. The rule reads more of what tsc reads there:

- The body after `d =>` goes on after the `:` of a conditional that ends it, where that conditional has
  no parentheses: Prettier breaks a chain of arrow functions in it or the chain that it ends
  (`breaks_chain`). One walk (`read_by_tsc`) reads the arrow functions after each `:` once, and hands its
  state (`Trial`) to the conditional that ends them. With `--experimental-ternaries`, the body ends at
  the parentheses of `a ? b : (⏎c⏎)`.
- An `(e): T` that tsc keeps does not end the body. The rule reads on to one that tsc can give up, up to
  an arrow function that tsc is sure of.
- Before the `:`, the parameters can end a conditional that is printed with no parentheses, and the value
  of `yield`.
- `(this)` and `(this, e)` are no parameters that tsc is sure of. Its parser reads `({ e = 1 })` as an
  expression. `await` and `yield` are names. It tries `<any>(a, b)` as an arrow function, and `async<U>(a)`
  in a `.ts`, `.mts` or `.cts` file. It tries none for `async?.(a)`.
- What is under `// prettier-ignore` is read from the tree, not from the source text: a name in
  parentheses of its own, a default, `(this)`, `async(a)` and `<U>(a)` as they are written, and what an
  arrow function returns under a comment of its own.
- The parentheses of a JSDoc type cast around one name, `this` or an array count as parameters.

`has_complex_signature` of the arrow function printer is `pub(crate)` for this, and stays inline there.
`parenthesizes_alternate` is split out of `write_ternary`.

judge.mjs counts the texts that the reader reads as another program with no error (`left.silent`), and
the ones where Bun repairs a text of `--main` that Prettier prints in another way (`repairedOfMain`). A
text with a parameter list that ends in `,` is exempt from `pairs` only where the reader misreads what
Prettier prints without that comma. A text where Prettier breaks a type assertion before the `:` after its
`>` is exempt where the reader misreads what Prettier prints with the assertion on one line: Bun keeps
`(d) =>` in both layouts. The generators have the new shapes.

Answers to the three review notes of 0888a8a that have no thread, in 401cdff:

  • The rule no longer reads the source text of an operand under // prettier-ignore. It asks the tree for the parentheses that the parser recorded (Expr::is_parenthesized), so a ( in a string or in a comment does not count.
  • yield before the : counts for the conditional itself now, not only for the names that a family keeps. x = a ? yield (q) => ({ q }) : (deps) => (id): T => y keeps (deps) =>.
  • async?.(a) is no place for parameters any more. tsc tries no arrow function there, and all three parsers read async?.(q) : y => .. as the input.

The oracle counts one more thing since this push: left.silent, the texts that the reader reads as another program with no error. At width 80 there are 1,061 of 176,379 matrix texts, and there were 4,751 before. The PR body names the kind that is left.

Scope the broken-assertion exemption to the parentheses it covers.

isAfterAssertion is computed once per source, not per arrow. When a source has a broken <any>( assertion and is misread at width 1000, every Bun–Prettier pair in that source is reclassified as pairsAfterBrokenAssertion. That kind does not feed the exit gate, so an unrelated extra pair in the same source can make the run exit 0. Restrict the exemption to differences inside the assertion, or count any remaining unexplained pair toward pairs.

🐛 Suggested direction

Compare Bun's output with Prettier's output after removing the assertion's own parentheses, and keep the remaining differences in pairs. The exact edit depends on how the difference is isolated, so no line-level diff is proposed here.

The mixed case is real, and it is wider than the two exemptions. The judge compares how the reader reads whole texts. So in every text where the reader needs one pair, it does not judge the other pairs.

I measured that at width 80. Bun keeps 64,875 pairs in the 36,502 repaired matrix texts, and tsc reads the text as the source without 3,984 of them, one at a time. The rule keeps the names of every member of a misread family, so these are by design. The PR body says so now, under "Review of 401cdff".

The judge does not change for now. This PR is a draft until a maintainer decides the scope of the rule. Whether a repair can keep names that tsc does not need is one of the three questions at the top of the body.

@robobun Understood. My comment was too narrow. The limitation applies to whole-text classification, not only to the two exemptions. A repaired result does not prove that each retained pair is necessary.

Your measurements separate those two properties. Removing a pair in isolation also does not establish that all removable pairs can be removed together.

I accept leaving the judge unchanged while the maintainer decides whether family-wide retention is allowed. This concern remains open as a scope decision, not an immediate request to change the exemption.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: TypeScript users with arrowParens: "avoid" still get a silently re-parsed program when an arrow function before the : returns a conditional that ends in ( .. ) and that body does not fit after =>. ends_with_parameters at src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs:386 sets is_cond_apart for a conditional an arrow returns, as if it always had parentheses. FormatConditionalBody prints them only when the body fits; broken, the ( .. ) ends the line before the :. Fix: when deciding whether tsc tries ( .. ) as parameters, treat parentheses that only one layout prints as absent, so the walk descends into an arrow-returned conditional's alternate as it does at :393 and :580. [also at: src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs:532 - pre-existing: TypeScript users with --experimental-ternaries and arrowParens: "avoid" still get a program tsc reads differently when a wide test precedes a short consequent.]
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

Input in a .ts file formatted by bun fmt --arrow-parens=avoid at width 80: x = cond ? (q) => aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : (rrrrr, s) : (d) => (e): T => f;. ? q => ( plus the inner conditional plus ) is 82 columns, so the group of FormatConditionalBody (src/format/js/print/arrow_function_expression.rs:352-358) breaks and its if_group_fits_on_line("(") prints nothing. ends_with_parameters computes is_cond_apart = body != end at conditional.rs:385-386 because end_of_chain(q => ..) returns the conditional, so the Cond arm at :393 is skipped and the fallback at :441 returns false. No name is kept and can_avoid_parentheses (src/format/js/print/parameters.rs:406) prints d =>. tsc tries (rrrrr, s): d => (e) in the inner alternate, keeps it because the root's : follows, and reads cond ? q => (aaa ? xxx : ((rrrrr, s): d => (e))) : T => f with no diagnostic. The base branch prints the identical text, so this is a hole the new rule leaves open.

Verification: pre-existing (the base branch prints the identical d => text; this is a hole the new rule leaves open, not a regression). ends_with_parameters computes let is_cond_apart = body != end || .. at src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs:385-386. The printer only parenthesizes the arrow-returned conditional when it fits (src/format/js/print/arrow_function_expression.rs:352-358).

Confirmed with the build of this head, at width 80. x = cond ? (q) => isTheFirstOfTwoVeryLongConditionNames ? theValueWithAnotherLongName : (first, second) : (d) => (e): T => f; is printed as Prettier prints it, and tsc reads another program with no error. The --experimental-ternaries case is confirmed too. The rule reads the text as Prettier prints it where each conditional fits on its line, so it takes these parentheses for granted.

This head stays as it is for now. A self-review says that the rule needs a maintainer's decision on its scope and its size first. The PR is a draft, and the three questions are at the top of its body. The body lists this finding under "Review of 401cdff". #47729 pins an input of this kind as a known issue on main.

🟣 pre-existing, not blocking: pre-existing: TypeScript users with arrowParens: "avoid" still get a silently re-parsed program when a conditional nested before an outer : has s => f(s) after its own : and the outer alternate is a typed arrow that tsc gives up. The before-walk in is_family_misread pushes that nested conditional with Trial::None at conditional.rs:555, and goes_on at conditional.rs:544 is false for it, although the outer : follows its alternate. Fix: let the walk count an enclosing : after a nested consequent, and treat the name as misread when a given-up (e): T supplies the :, which covers both rows format.test.ts:1788 and :1794. The diff lists them as known issues with outcome "changed": tsc reports no error.
A small fix can ride a push you are already making; otherwise a short reply is enough.

Why this was flagged

Input in a .ts file formatted by bun fmt --arrow-parens=avoid: x = a ? b ? (q) => ({ q }) : (s) => f(s) : (x) => (id): T => 1; (the knownIssues row at test/cli/format/format.test.ts:1794, outcome "changed"). tsc parses a's consequent with allowReturnTypeInArrowFunction false, tries ({ q }): s => f(s) and keeps it because b's : follows f(s); b then takes a's : and its alternate becomes x => (id), because (id): T => 1 is given up when ; follows 1; a then takes the : of (id): T and its alternate is T => 1. The program is a ? (b ? q => (({ q }): s => f(s)) : x => (id)) : T => 1 with no syntax error. In is_family_misread (src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs:521) b is pushed with Trial::None at :555; for b, next is None since f(s) is no conditional, so goes_on is false and :279 returns Trial::None. Nothing records that a's : follows b's alternate, so no name is kept and can_avoid_parentheses (src/format/js/print/parameters.rs:406) prints s =>. The base branch prints the same text; this is a hole the new rule leaves open.

Verification: pre-existing. acknowledged in diff: the row at test/cli/format/format.test.ts:1792-1797 pins this exact input in knownIssues with outcome "changed"; the base branch prints the same text, so merging makes nothing worse, but the new rule misses it. In src/format/js/utils/conditional.rs the nested conditional is pushed with Trial::None (line 555); goes_on at line 544 is false, so line 279 returns Trial::None.

Confirmed: tsc reads both rows as another program with no error, and this head prints Prettier's text for them. The walk has no state for a : that follows the end of an operand.

This head stays as it is for now. The PR is a draft until a maintainer decides the scope and the size of the rule: the three questions are at the top of the body. The body lists this kind under "Other open points". #47729 pins x = a ? b ? (q) => ({ q }) : (s) => f(s) : (x) => (id): T => 1; as a known issue on main.

Answers to the review notes of 401cdff that have no open thread:

  • parenthesizes_alternate (the unverified finding): confirmed. With --experimental-ternaries, Prettier prints a ? b : (⏎c⏎) only where a ? b fits on its line. x = c6 ? (a, b) : (y) => aLongNameOfACondition.withAProperty ? u : (z) => (e): T => f; at width 40 is printed as Prettier prints it, and tsc reads another program with no error.
  • The mixed case of the trailing-comma exemption: confirmed, and it holds for every repaired text. The thread on judge.mjs:885 has the numbers.
  • The description: it opens with the status because the PR is blocked on the three questions. A self-review of this head says that the rule needs a maintainer's decision on its scope and its size first. bun fmt: record known issues where tsc reads the printed text in another way #47729 records the damage as known issues on main, with no source change.
