multiple substitutions become multiple children in JSON output #58221

@zackmdavis zackmdavis commented Feb 6, 2019

This is a proposed fix for #53934.

The problem being solved is this: in our internal representation of diagnostics, a CodeSuggestion can have one or more Substitutions, which can in turn have more than one SubstitutionParts. The vast majority of suggestions have just one Substitution and one SubstitutionPart, but .span_suggestions creates multiple Substitutions and .multipart_suggestion creates multiple SubstitutionParts.

Previously, the JSON-emitter was flat-mapping spans into the children field of serialized diagnostics, thereby conflating the one-substitution-with-multiple-parts case and the multiple-substitutions-with-one-part-each case, which tools like Rustfix need to be able to distinguish between. Here, we make multiple substitutions appear as multiple children, which is logical. Rustfix was already explicitly bailing out when it found multiple solutions, so there should be no breakage there. Breakage to RLS or third-party tooling may be possible, but is hoped/believed to be acceptable/within-policy (the intent here is to fix outright buggy output, not to constitute an incompatible change to the format).

Look specifically at the diff of the second "multiple substitutions become ..." commit to see the diff in the JSON output. (The first commit introduces some --error-format json UI tests specifically to document this.)

rust-lang/rustfix#162 is the sister pull-request for rustfix.

Don't merge this yet; the following items need to be resolved first—

  • ui/did_you_mean/issue-42764.rs specifically is failing for me locally, which I don't understand?? Presumably Travis will reproduce?
  • check that cargo fix can fix a multi-span substitution
  • look into how other tools cope with multiple substitutions being separate children

Thanks to @pietroalbini, @estebank, and @killercup for discussion at the 2019 All-Hands meeting.

This checks in a baseline so that it's easy to see the diff when we
change the output in a subsequent commit. These examples are from and
for #53934.
This is a proposed fix for #53934.

diagnostics, a `CodeSuggestion` can have one or more `Substitutions`,
which can in turn have more than one `SubstitutionPart`s. The vast

`SubstitutionPart`, but `.span_suggestions` creates multiple
`Substitutions` and `.multipart_suggestion` creates multiple
`SubstitutionParts`.
