Summary

On --target web, every Date built with new Date(...) is undefined: getTime() and each getter return 0 and toISOString() returns undefined. Both emit sites called the date_new bridge, which is not in the pre-interned bridge list, so emit_memcall resolved it to string id 0 and mem_call dispatched on the wrong name. date_new also ignored its argument.

Changes

  • emit/expr/date_error.rs, emit/expr/classes.rs: new Date(x) calls date_new_val, which is interned and forwards the argument.
  • emit/string_collection.rs: interns the Date bridges that the emitter calls and the runtime implements but the list was missing (date_parse, date_utc, date_value_of, date_get_timezone_offset, the UTC getters/setters, the to*String family, date_to_json).
  • emit/tests.rs: date_constructor_keeps_its_argument_and_getters_read_it (UTC getters only, so it does not depend on the host time zone).

Related issue

n/a (found while porting a page to --target web).

Test plan

cargo test -p perry-codegen-wasm
without the fix (branch base 056c5c7239) this branch
new test FAIL: 0 / undefined / undefined-undefined-undefined undefined:undefined / undefined / false PASS, matches Node
perry-codegen-wasm not run 47 passed (46 existing + new)

Also checked in headless Chrome: a page formatting new Date(iso) showed 01/00 00:00 before and the correct local time after.

Built on macOS 27.3 (Apple M6) with the nightly from rust-toolchain.toml, LLVM 23.1.5, Node 26.13.1. I did not run the full workspace test command from the template.

Not in this PR: about 45 other memcall names the emitter uses are also missing from the interned list (several string_*, array_*, path_*, weakref_*), but those also lack a runtime bridge, so interning alone would not fix them.

Checklist

  • I have NOT bumped the workspace version or edited CHANGELOG.md
  • My commits follow the loose feat: / fix: / docs: / chore: prefix convention used in the log
  • I've read CONTRIBUTING.md and agree to the Code of Conduct

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved JavaScript Date support in web builds, including construction from ISO strings and timestamps, parsing, UTC operations, formatting, and JSON conversion.
    • Corrected how date construction handles omitted arguments versus an explicit undefined: an omitted argument creates the current date, while undefined produces an invalid date.

Walkthrough

For the web target, Date construction uses the interned date_new_val bridge. The emitter passes the constructor argument count, and the runtime distinguishes an omitted argument from an explicit undefined. Additional Date bridge names are pre-interned, and a test covers Date construction and related operations.

Changes: WASM Date constructor handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Date construction, bridge names, and validation
crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/expr/classes.rs, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/expr/date_error.rs, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/wasm_runtime.js, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/string_collection.rs, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/tests.rs, changelog.d/14590-wasm-date-constructor.md
Both Date constructor emission paths call date_new_val and pass at most one argument. The runtime creates the current date only when no argument is supplied; an explicit undefined is passed to Date. The string table adds Date bridge names. A test covers construction, timestamp and ISO conversion, UTC getters, parsing, and invalid-date NaN. The changelog records the bridge changes.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review b27e4

This change makes new Date(x) on the web target keep its argument and correctly distinguishes new Date() from new Date(undefined). No merge-blocking risk remains in the changed code. The failing CI checks are in unrelated code.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the WASM new Date(x) fix, where the constructor keeps its argument and the getters read it. It follows the repo's fix(wasm): prefix convention and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has a clear summary of the root cause and fix, a concrete list of changes with file paths, and a related-issue note (n/a, standalone). The test plan gives the exact command run, before/after results, and a headless Chrome check. It also states that the full workspace test command was not run, and it explains the other memcall names that stay out of scope. The template's checklist items are ticked. The author did not run the template's full workspace test command, and the template asks for that command, so this is a disclosed gap rather than a missing section.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The PR objectives mention that the CI failure in cargo-test (product_element_identity_preserves_codegen_facts) is unrelated to this diff and also fails on main. That is a disclosed pre-existing issue, not a description gap.

- Line 29: Update the Date constructor emission around emit_memcall and its
corresponding classes.rs path to preserve whether an argument was omitted or
explicitly undefined; use a distinct zero-argument path or carry argument
presence through the bridge so explicit undefined produces an invalid Date. Add
a regression case confirming new Date(undefined).getTime() is NaN.

CI: the failing jobs are not from this diff, and each fails on current main (f451fa6139, checked locally):

I will rebase this PR once those are fixed on main.

Both `new Date` emit sites called the `date_new` bridge. That name is not
in the pre-interned bridge list, and `emit_memcall` resolves an unknown
name to string id 0, so `mem_call` dispatched on the wrong name and every
Date was `undefined`: `getTime()` and each getter returned 0 and
`toISOString()` returned undefined. `date_new` also ignored its argument.

The emit sites now call `date_new_val`, which is interned and forwards the
argument. The Date bridges that have a runtime implementation but were
missing from the list (`Date.parse`, `Date.UTC`, `valueOf`, the UTC
getters and setters, `getTimezoneOffset`, the `to*String` family,
`toJSON`) are interned too.

`date_constructor_keeps_its_argument_and_getters_read_it` prints
"0 / undefined / undefined-undefined-undefined ..." without this change
and matches Node with it.

Both constructor paths stored `undefined` for a missing argument, and
`date_new_val` treated any `undefined` as `new Date()`, so an explicit
`new Date(undefined)` got the current time instead of a NaN time value.
The emitter now passes an argument count of 0 for `new Date()`, and the
bridge chooses on the count.

The Date test gains an explicit-`undefined` case; with the old bridge it
prints `false` (a real timestamp).

Rebased onto 46b2339d82 (current main, which includes #14604, so the formatting / clippy / tokio-ban / tls-budget reds are gone from this branch). cargo test -p perry-codegen-wasm re-run on the new base: 47 passed. The base SHA in the description refers to the earlier base.
