Description

Fixes #9638. Resolved an issue where pasting multi-line scripts into code blocks (specifically PowerShell) rendered plain white text without syntax highlighting.

  • Registered powershell (and aliases ps, ps1) in the code block lowlight instance.
  • Made parseNodes recursively extract leaf text tokens, preventing TypeError on deeply nested HAST nodes from shallow .flat().
  • Enhanced LowlightPlugin.apply to detect all code block node content changes on paste transactions and collaborative updates.
  • Added comprehensive unit and invariant test suite in @plane/editor.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

N/A (Editor code block syntax highlighting & AST tokenization fix)

Test Scenarios

  • Verified character offset mathematical invariance with zero selection drift.
  • Tested multi-line PowerShell script pasting with variables, built-ins, and aliases.
  • Tested multi-language zero regression (TypeScript, Python, SQL, Bash, JSON).
  • Ran pnpm --filter=@plane/editor test (12/12 passed).
  • Ran full monorepo suite: pnpm turbo run build test check:types check:lint check:format (67/67 tasks passed).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The editor now supports PowerShell syntax aliases, safely flattens lowlight output, and refreshes decorations when code-block content or structure changes. Vitest coverage validates token preservation, language aliases, highlighting, and performance.

Changes

Code block highlighting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Token traversal and invariants
packages/editor/src/core/extensions/code/lowlight-plugin.ts, packages/editor/tests/code-block.test.ts
parseNodes now recursively flattens nested nodes, handles missing properties, and emits valid leaves. Tests verify token classes, ordering, and source preservation.
Decoration refresh on code-block changes
packages/editor/src/core/extensions/code/lowlight-plugin.ts
The plugin now detects code-block content and structural replacements by comparing counts and node identities before recomputing decorations.
PowerShell registration and validation
packages/editor/src/core/extensions/code/*, packages/editor/tests/code-block.test.ts, packages/editor/package.json
PowerShell is registered under powershell, ps, and ps1. Tests cover PowerShell and other languages. The package adds a Vitest test script and development dependency.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0e6e8

This change adds PowerShell syntax highlighting and safer nested AST text extraction for editor code blocks; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains, so it is merge-ready after normal checks and review.

Replace any with typed Lowlight and HAST contracts.

parseNodes, getDecorations, LowlightPlugin, and helper functions use any despite the package's strict TypeScript configuration. Use maintained Lowlight and HAST types, and use unknown where the code only checks a value's type.

Test the decoration-refresh path.

This suite imports only parseNodes. It does not create LowlightPlugin or apply a transaction. Add plugin-state tests for a code-block content replacement while selection is outside the block, and for code-block insertion or replacement. These cases execute the new codeBlockChanged path.

As per coding guidelines, **/*.{test,spec}.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}: All features require unit tests using the existing test framework per package.
