Summary

Fixes a crash (Unhandled Promise Rejection) in the CLI when processing extremely long strings (like large Python code snippets) as potential file paths. The crash occurred because the ENAMETOOLONG error from the file system was not being caught in the robustRealpath function.

Details

  • Updated robustRealpath in packages/core/src/utils/paths.ts to catch ENAMETOOLONG in addition to ENOENT and EISDIR.
  • This ensures that if a string is incorrectly identified as an @path command but is too long to be a valid path, the CLI gracefully ignores it instead of crashing.
  • Added a unit test in packages/core/src/utils/paths.test.ts to mock this scenario and prevent regressions.

How to Validate

  1. Revert the fix and run npm run build -w @google/gemini-cli-core.
  2. Run npm run start and paste a long quoted string (e.g., @"a" * 5000).
  3. Observe the crash.
  4. Apply the fix and rebuild.
  5. Run npm run start and paste the same string.
  6. Observe that the CLI no longer crashes.

Pre-Merge Checklist

  • Updated relevant documentation and README (if needed)
  • Added/updated tests (if needed)
  • Noted breaking changes (if any)
  • Validated on required platforms/methods:
    • MacOS
      • npm run

- Add ENAMETOOLONG to caught errors in robustRealpath to prevent crashes on long paths.
- Add regression test case to verify fix and prevent future regressions.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses an unhandled promise rejection in the CLI that occurred when the application attempted to process extremely long strings as file paths. By explicitly including ENAMETOOLONG in the error handling logic of the path resolution utility, the application now correctly identifies these cases and avoids crashing, ensuring a more robust user experience.

Highlights

  • Error Handling: Updated the robustRealpath function to catch and handle ENAMETOOLONG errors, preventing CLI crashes when processing excessively long strings.
  • Testing: Added a new unit test to verify that the system gracefully handles paths that trigger ENAMETOOLONG errors.

Code Review

This pull request updates the robustRealpath utility in packages/core to handle ENAMETOOLONG errors. Previously, the function only explicitly handled ENOENT and EISDIR errors. By adding ENAMETOOLONG to the error handling logic, the utility now correctly falls back or returns the path as-is when encountering extremely long file paths, preventing unhandled exceptions. A corresponding unit test has been added to verify this behavior by mocking filesystem errors. I have no feedback to provide.
