Cancel and closing the window no longer freeze it, and the window lets go of fields it no longer shows by donislawdev · Pull Request #217 · donislawdev/TestingFilesGenerator

donislawdev · 2026-11-03T23:23:45Z

Three defects of the window, each with guards that are red without its fix.

Cancel and closing the window no longer freeze it

Cancel, Escape and closing the window all cancelled the work and then waited for the worker on the interface thread. The engine asks its context between writes, so on a disk that answers the wait was milliseconds. On one that holds on to a write (a network share, a disk that went to sleep) the window stopped drawing for as long as the write took, and Windows offers to end a window that has not drawn for five seconds, which ends the process in the middle of a file.

Cancel asks the work to stop and returns. It switches itself off and the line says "Stopping - the step in progress is finished first, so nothing is left half written." until the worker's last word ("Stopped after ...") replaces it.
Closing the window during work writes the folder down, shows a Closing notice in place of the screens, stops answering the keyboard, waits for every screen on a goroutine of its own and closes from the window's queue. A second press of the close button does nothing. With nothing running it closes at once, as before. There is no way to close without waiting: that would leave half a file and no manifest.
internal/gui/window/work.go is what a screen keeps of its work, in place of the runner's stop and settled and the Tools tab's toolJob. Cancel and the worker's news change the screen under one mutex. In the program both are on the interface thread and it is never contended. Under the toolkit's test driver fyne.Do runs on the worker, and without the lock the four guards that press Cancel during a run were 12 of 12 red under -race.
work.go and closing.go are declared in the concurrency guard and added to the race job's watched list, so this pull request changes .github/workflows/ci.yml.
On the Tools tab Escape now presses Cancel only while it is shown, as on the other screens, and the tab has the hold the guards use.

A change of damage leaves no fields behind

The generate screen kept the parameter fields of every damage chosen before in its registry. They start at a mark set where the format's fields end now. A guard compares the registry with the screen both ways.

A list cut short lets go of what it cut

Fields.KeepFirst clears the tail it cuts, and the recipe screen removes batches and contents with slices.Delete. The list of batches moved to recipelist.go to keep recipe.go under the file ceiling.

Checks

New guards: TestCancelAnswersAtOnceAndSaysWhatItWaitsFor, TestCancelOnTheToolsTabAnswersAtOnce, TestClosingDuringARunKeepsTheWindowDrawingUntilTheRunHasStopped, TestNoKeyStartsWorkWhileTheWindowWaitsToClose, TestChoosingADamageAgainLeavesNoFieldBehind, TestAFieldTakenOffTheRegistryIsLetGo, TestNothingIsDeletedFromASliceByGluingItsHalves.
Guards that pressed Cancel or closed the window and read the result straight after now wait for the work first. Closing in the middle of a run also checks that the manifest says the run was stopped.
Seventeen new mutation entries and sixteen repointed to code that moved, each caught by its guard when tried by hand.
The touched guards pass under -race.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Cancel now responds immediately while the current step winds down, with a status message explaining what’s happening.
- Closing the window during active work keeps it responsive until the work stops, then closes it. Repeated close requests are ignored.
- Stopping or closing no longer leaves a partially written file, and the manifest still describes completed work.
- Changing damage or format choices no longer leaves obsolete settings fields behind.

…d what is cut off a list is let go Choosing a damage added its parameters to the generate screen's registry of fields and never took the previous ones away, so every choice left a field behind under nothing on the screen. The parameters now start at a mark set where the format's fields are finished, and a change of damage cuts back to it. KeepFirst clears what it cuts off, and the recipe screen removes batches and contents with slices.Delete, so a cut list no longer keeps the cut pointers alive in its array. The list of batches moved into recipelist.go, because the import took recipe.go past its ceiling. Three guards: the registry against the screen in both directions after twenty choices of damage and twenty changes of format, weak pointers on what KeepFirst cuts off, and no append of a slice's own two halves anywhere in internal/ or cmd/. Six mutation entries, eight repointed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…s for it off the window's thread Cancel, Escape and closing the window all cancelled the work and then waited for the worker on the interface thread. The engine asks its context between writes, so on a disk that holds on to a write the window stopped drawing for as long as the write took, and Windows offers to end a window that has not drawn for five seconds - which ends the process in the middle of a file. Cancel now asks the work to stop, switches itself off and says it is stopping until the worker's last word replaces the line. Closing the window during work writes the folder down, shows a Closing notice in place of the screens, points the keyboard at that notice so no key starts work, waits for every screen on a goroutine of its own and closes from the window's queue. A second press of the close button does nothing. A window with nothing running closes at once, as before. There is no way to close without waiting. work.go is what a screen keeps of its work, in place of the runner's stop and settled and the Tools tab's toolJob: cancel, done, and a mutex under which Cancel and the worker's news change the screen. In the program both are on the interface thread and the lock is never contended. Under the toolkit's test driver fyne.Do runs on the worker, and without the lock the four guards that press Cancel during a run were 12 of 12 red under -race. work.go and closing.go are declared in the concurrency guard and in the race job's watched list. On the Tools tab Escape presses Cancel only while it is shown, as on the other screens, and the hold the guards use moved into the busy state so the tab has it too. Four new guards, four that now wait for the work after pressing, eleven new mutation entries and eight repointed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Walkthrough

Run cancellation now returns without waiting for work to stop. When the window closes during active work, it shows a closing notice and closes after the work settles. The PR also clears stale GUI field registrations and relocates recipe batch helpers.

Changes: Run cancellation and window closing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared work lifecycle and cancellation `internal/gui/window/work.go`, `internal/gui/window/run.go`, `internal/gui/window/runbusy.go`, `internal/gui/window/tools.go`, `internal/guard/mutation/entries.py`, `internal/guard/mutationcoverage_test.go`	Generation and Tools use a shared work handle for cancellation, progress, and completion. Cancel requests stopping without waiting and displays stopping status.
Window closing flow `internal/gui/window/closing.go`, `internal/gui/window/open.go`, `internal/gui/text/`, `internal/guard/stopping_test.go`, `internal/guard/generatewindow_test.go`, `internal/guard/test.go`, `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `CHANGELOG.md`	The closing controller shows a notice while active work stops, then closes the window. Tests cover asynchronous Cancel and close behavior, and CI watches `closing.go` for race-job triggering.

GUI field registry cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Field registration and damage changes `internal/gui/parts/fields.go`, `internal/gui/window/generate.go`, `internal/guard/damagewindow_test.go`, `internal/guard/letgo_test.go`	Field truncation clears discarded controls, and damage-field rebuilding removes registrations from the previous selection. Tests check registered controls and weak-pointer reachability.

Recipe batch helpers

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Batch and content management `internal/gui/window/recipe.go`, `internal/gui/window/recipelist.go`, `internal/guard/mutation/entries.py`, `internal/guard/codeshape_test.go`	Batch and content helpers move from `recipe.go` to `recipelist.go`. The mutation probes and file-size ratchet reference the new location.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 46c98

The close test has a narrow timing risk that could cause an intermittent test failure. It does not establish a defect in window closing and need not block merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title clearly describes the two main user-visible changes: non-blocking cancellation and window closing, plus cleanup of fields that are no longer shown. It is specific and within the approximately 140-character limit.

Full details: Tests For Changed Behavior

Explanation

The PR adds tests for each changed runtime area. stopping_test.go covers non-blocking Cancel on Generate and Tools, asynchronous close, single-close behavior, closing status, remembered output directory, manifest creation, and keyboard suppression. damagewindow_test.go covers repeated damage and format changes without stale registered fields. letgo_test.go covers field/control collection and rejects unsafe slice deletion across internal and cmd. Existing recipe tests still cover batch add, duplicate, and removal behavior. Existing tests were not deleted: the base has 1275 test functions and the head has 1282, with seven new tests. Updated cancellation and closing tests now join the asynchronous work before checking outputs; assertions were not weakened.

Full details: No Secrets Or Debug Leftovers

Explanation

No failure condition is introduced. The changed-file inventory contains no CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE.local.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/, or .env files. Added-line scans found no debug output or breakpoint calls, credentials or tokens, URLs/emails, local absolute paths, IPs, or machine/user identifiers.

Full details: No Hardcoded Ui Styling

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes Fyne UI behavior but adds no hardcoded styling. The new closing notice uses shared parts.Screen and parts.Titled helpers in internal/gui/window/closing.go:104. The Tools Cancel change keeps the shared parts.NewButton(parts.Secondary, ...) style and only changes its callback. Other GUI changes update lifecycle, field cleanup, and list data; they do not set colors, fonts, spacing, sizes, or corner radii, and do not add copied control definitions.

Full details: No Obvious Performance Problems

Explanation

No clear performance problem was introduced. The changed run and preview paths keep planning, file work, disk-space checks, and manifest writes on worker goroutines. Window closing waits for screens on a separate goroutine, so the UI thread does not block on work. The collection changes are linear cleanup or single-item insertion/deletion; no new O(n²) processing, polling, or large non-virtualized collection was added.

Full details: Desktop Robustness

Explanation

No explicit Desktop robustness failure is introduced. work provides context cancellation and completion tracking; generation and Tools report progress where applicable, keep Cancel available, and use busy.occupied to prevent a second run. closing.leave shows a closing notice, stops every screen on a separate goroutine, waits for each Stop() to finish, and queues Host.Close() only afterward, so user work is not left running after the window closes. The PR adds no working-directory asset loading, network or admin behavior, destructive confirmation flow, or culture-sensitive number/date handling. Its directory preference call uses the existing preference store and replaces the previous close-path call rather than adding a new persistence mechanism.

Full details: Safe File Parsing

Explanation

No unsafe file-parsing behavior is introduced. The production changes do not add XML, CSV, XLSX, YAML, archive, settings, or path-resolution parsing. The only changed data files are locale JSON files with fixed plain text values. They use the existing embedded catalogue path and encoding/json loading; the locale loader and text/template code are unchanged. New manifest reads are test-only and use fixed files in t.TempDir() produced by the test run. No external entities, formulas, arbitrary deserialization, or unbounded user-controlled input path is introduced.

Full details: System Changes Are Reversible

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes GUI work cancellation, window closing, application field registries, and slice cleanup. The diff adds no network filter, proxy, firewall, system-time, process-hook, Windows service, OS registry, or driver modification. The referenced registry is an application field registry, so the reversibility warning does not apply.

Full details: Clear User-Facing Text

Explanation

The PR adds user-facing status text for stopping and closing, with matching English and Polish entries. “Stopping” explains that the current step finishes first and prevents a partial file; “Closing” and its subtitle explain that the window closes after work stops. The PR adds no new non-obvious or icon-only control, no vague button label, no confirmation, and no error or raw-exception text. Existing Cancel wiring keeps the clear “Cancel” label.

Full details: No Resource Leaks

Explanation

No resource leak is introduced. Each new worker has a cancellation path and closes its completion channel; window closing waits for all workers before scheduling Close (work.go, closing.go). Busy-face timers use the existing Later/callOff path, and closing.leave stops the quiet timer. Fields.KeepFirst and slices.Delete clear removed references instead of retaining controls or batches.

Full details: Scope, Duplication And Docs

Explanation

The changed files and PR description align. The PR addresses cancellation/closing behavior, stale field cleanup, and recipe-list cleanup, with related tests, race configuration, localization, and CHANGELOG updates. No unrelated significant refactor, duplicate feature, undocumented user-facing change, or backward-incompatible public/configuration/data-format change is evident.

- Line 499: Update the test around the manifest assertion so the worker cannot
finish before `host.intercept()` requests cancellation: add a deterministic
barrier in the write path and release it only after the close request. Keep
`waitUntilTheRunHasStarted` for detecting startup, but do not rely on file
existence to keep the run active or use sleeps and timing-based coordination.
