Problem

Preview click, hover and drag fail with Element is not attached to the DOM, without dispatching any input, when the page replaces the target node while T3 scrolls it into view. Before every input, targetPoint in apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowserPage.ts calls locator.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded once. In Playwright 1.60 that call resolves the node once and throws when the node detaches; it does not re-resolve the selector the way locator.click does.

Reproduction: a page that replaces <button id="save"> with a clone every 40 ms (the reporter's page). On main (059804d), ServerBrowserPage.click, hover and drag against #save each failed 10/10 in headless Chromium at both timeoutMs 300 and 3000, all with that error. On the same page, Playwright's own locator.click({ timeout: 3000 }) succeeded 10/10 with exactly one click. The preview tools of a running server gave the same error for preview_act click and hover, and no click landed.

Change

targetPoint now scrolls through a small scrollIntoView(locator, timeout) helper. It retries scrollIntoViewIfNeeded only when the error is Playwright's exact detach message (^locator\.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded: Element is not attached to the DOM, anchored, so an error that merely quotes the sentence is not retried). Each retry gets the time remaining under the caller's existing timeout. Other errors are rethrown unchanged on the first call. A target that never settles still fails at the deadline, with no input dispatched. The click, hover and drag calls themselves are unchanged, so input is still sent once, after the scroll succeeds. The per-step timeout model is unchanged; a shared deadline is https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/25557.

Scope and approval

Fixes #30585

Verification

  • vp test run apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowserPage.test.ts: 26/26 pass.

    • server browser click > clicks a target the page replaced while it was being scrolled into view fails on main with promise rejected "Error: locator.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded: Element is not attached to the DOM" instead of resolving, and passes here: the click resolves and exactly one click reaches the page.
    • gives up on a target the page keeps replacing once the timeout passes: a target that keeps detaching rejects at the deadline with zero clicks. This one is a guard against an unbounded loop, so it also passes on main.
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck and tests all pass.

  • Runtime transcript: a headless Chromium driver called ServerBrowserPage.click/hover/drag on the reporter's page, 10 trials per cell. Synthetic page only:

    replace interval action timeoutMs main 059804d this branch
    40 ms click 300 / 3000 0/10, 0/10 (detach error) 9/10, 8/10
    40 ms hover 300 / 3000 0/10, 0/10 (detach error) 0/10, 3/10
    40 ms drag 300 / 3000 0/10, 0/10 (detach error) 0/10, 4/10
    100 ms, none all 300 / 3000 10/10 10/10 (one 100 ms / 300 ms drag hit Playwright's own dragTo timeout)
    16 ms all 300 / 3000 0/10 (detach error) 0/10, bounded timeouts

    Every failure on this branch is a timeout or a detach at the deadline. At a 40 ms interval, Playwright alone (locator.hover / dragTo, no T3 probe) manages hover 8/10 and drag 3/10, so drag is now at Playwright's own rate. For hover, about half of the remaining failures are scroll retries that ran out of budget against the 40 ms replacement before the hover started. At 16 ms, Playwright's own click also times out 10/10, so a bounded failure is the expected result there.

  • Not checked: the desktop (Electron) preview host in a real client. It goes through the same targetPoint. The driver did not count dispatched clicks; "input sent once" rests on the input calls being unchanged and running only after the scroll returns, plus the unit test's click count.

…ing it into view

Locator.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded resolves its node once and throws "Element is
not attached to the DOM" when the page replaces it, so click, hover and drag
aborted on pages that re-render their target. Retry the scroll on exactly that
error until the step's existing timeout passes; other errors propagate
unchanged and no input is dispatched until the scroll succeeds.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at bfc6ffe

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Preview click, hover, and drag now retry scrolling when the target element is replaced, within the existing timeout. The narrowly scoped retry preserves other errors and does not change action defaults.

Notes:

  • All code in this push has already been reviewed. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

No code changes detected at b2ae283. Prior analysis still applies.

Explanation

The title names the fix and its scope: preview click, hover and drag keep working when the target is replaced during scrollIntoView. This matches the changeset, which adds a retry around scrollIntoViewIfNeeded in targetPoint for detached-element errors. The title is long, at 97 characters, but it is specific and conventional.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope and Verification sections, and each one is filled in with specific detail. The Problem section gives reproduction steps and environment, the Change section explains the retry logic and the reason for it, and the Scope section links the issue. Verification lists the focused test results, the runtime trial table, and what was not checked. The Scope section says the fix is for a bug and links issue #30585. It does not clearly say whether a maintainer requested the PR. The template also asks for the agent model and harness at the end. The description says only that it was AI-assisted, so it does not name the model or harness. These gaps are minor and do not block the check.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff against the merge base changes only targetPoint and a new scrollIntoView helper in ServerBrowserPage.ts, plus two click tests in ServerBrowserPage.test.ts. The helper and tests support [#30585]. The click, hover, and drag input calls are unchanged. No unrelated change is demonstrated. The shared-deadline work in #25557 is explicitly excluded by the PR description.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#30585] The head adds scrollIntoView(locator, timeout) in apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowserPage.ts. It retries only the anchored detach message, uses the remaining deadline per attempt, and rethrows other errors. This implements the core fix for all three actions, because targetPoint is shared. The diff of ServerBrowserPage.test.ts against the merge base adds only two server browser click tests: (1) a transient replacement during scroll that asserts success and exactly one click, and (2) a persistent detachment that asserts rejection at the deadline and zero clicks. No transient-replacement test exists for hover or drag, and no one-input assertion exists for hover or drag. The issue requires mid-probe replacement coverage for all three actions with success and exactly one input call. No new ordinary-error test appears in the diff. The prior FAIL on hover and drag coverage still holds at this head.

Resolution

Add controlled replacement-during-positioning tests for ServerBrowserPage.hover and ServerBrowserPage.drag. Each test should make the first scrollIntoViewIfNeeded call throw the anchored detach error, then assert that the action resolves and that its input call runs exactly once. Add or confirm an ordinary-error test that asserts the error is rethrown unchanged with no retry. Retain the persistent-detachment tests for bounded failure with no input.

Test a real target replacement during scrolling.

The mocked locator throws the expected error, but it never replaces a DOM node. Add a focused case to the existing headless-browser suite that replaces the target during scrollIntoViewIfNeeded and checks that input reaches the replacement at most once. This would protect the native-DOM behavior that the mock cannot exercise. (playwright.dev)

As per coding guidelines, “Test behavior that can break.” The path instructions require tests for “the logic changed by a bug fix.” Based on learnings, UI behavior that depends on browser rendering or native DOM behavior needs a real or headless-browser test.

Cover repeated detachment retries before the deadline.

The success case fails only on its first scroll, so one retry passes it. The persistent case rejects but never counts scroll attempts. A helper that retries once and then rethrows passes both tests, even while time remains. Make the success case fail twice under a fixed clock. The test then requires the helper to keep retrying while time remains. The file does not import vi, so the fix adds it to the import.

Cover hover and drag after a detached scroll.

Extend the mocked replacement case to exercise hover and drag. Assert that each succeeds and calls its input method exactly once, after scrolling succeeds. The click test cannot catch failures or duplicate calls specific to those action paths.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Retries run in a tight loop with no yield or backoff.

The retry loop calls locator.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded again right after each detach error. Each call waits for the selector to attach, so it normally does not spin. The loop still has no pause between attempts. A target that is replaced repeatedly can cause many rapid retries until the deadline. This matches the reported failures at the 40 ms and 16 ms replacement rates. The loop is bounded by deadline, so this is not a correctness defect. Consider a small retry cap or a short delay only if the runtime trials show load problems.

Nitpick comments:
Review comments at @apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowserPage.test.ts:
- Around line 490-517: Extend the detached-scroll replacement test near
ServerBrowserPage.click to cover the hover and drag action paths as well. Verify
each action succeeds and invokes its corresponding input method exactly once,
only after scrolling succeeds, while keeping the existing click coverage intact.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
Add hover and drag tests that replace the target during scrolling. Assert that
each action succeeds and dispatches exactly one input. Investigate and address
the reported remaining failures at the 40 ms replacement interval, or establish
with focused evidence that they do not violate the issue’s target behavior.

Add controlled replacement-during-positioning tests for

the first `scrollIntoViewIfNeeded` call throw the anchored detach error, then
assert that the action resolves and that its input call runs exactly once. Add
or confirm an ordinary-error test that asserts the error is rethrown unchanged
with no retry. Retain the persistent-detachment tests for bounded failure with
no input.

Evidence

Real web app, Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh synthetic state. Open the page with preview_open, take preview_snapshot, then click, hover and drag Save with a 3000 ms timeout. Save is cloned every 40 ms for 800 ms, then stabilizes; a small animation ensures replacement overlaps the scroll stability wait. Repeat with continuous replacement and a 300 ms budget.

Proven: scenarios:prove exited 0. Base aborts all three gestures on detachment; head dispatches each exactly once. Continuous replacement produces timeout errors on head with zero page-side inputs.

Before f313d0a6cb After 59eb60cbdd
Scenario result Failed Passed
Gesture results Before: detached-node failures After: each gesture dispatched once
Persistent replacement Before: zero input After: 300 ms timeouts and zero input
Interaction recording Before, final 12 seconds After, final 12 seconds
Full recording Before After

Evidence

Run preview_open and preview_snapshot on a synthetic Save button replaced every 40 ms for 800 ms per attempt. Repeat click, hover, and drag eight times each with timeoutMs 3000. Real T3 web client, fresh synthetic state, 1280×800 client and 1000×720 preview on both commits. Final screenshots matched 500 ms apart.

Before After
4582a3bc68 b2ae283cb5
20/24 completed; four detached-node failures across click, hover, and drag 24/24 completed; zero errors
Before: detached-node failures After: all gestures completed
Before recording After recording

Scenario and fixture driver. scenarios:prove exited 0.

Not shown:

  • Replacement persisting throughout the full timeout, its bounded failure budget, and absence of dispatched input were not measured; replacement stopped after 800 ms.
  • Exact input-event counts were not asserted; this proof verifies completion or detached-node failure of the actual preview tool calls.
