Summary

When an interactive LSP code action has a valid empty Edit (len(batches) == 0) and a non-empty Command, applyInteractiveCodeActionEdit previously returned false, causing HandleCodeActionsResult to return early and skip command execution.

This change:

  • Updates applyInteractiveCodeActionEdit to treat an empty, valid edit as a successful no-op (applied: false, ok: true), while maintaining rejection for invalid or unsupported workspace edits (applied: false, ok: false).
  • Adjusts HandleCodeActionsResult so:
    • An empty edit does not trigger an edit-applied status notification.
    • The action's command is executed when the edit succeeds (or is a no-op).
    • Failed or unsupported edits still abort and prevent command execution.
  • Adds regression unit tests in internal/app/workspace_edit_test.go:
    • TestCodeActionsResultRunsCommandWithEmptyEdit
    • TestCodeActionsResultPreventsCommandOnUnsupportedEdit

Closes #1495.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Interactive code actions now distinguish between edits being applied and the edit completing successfully. The applied notification appears only when at least one file changes, and success is reported only when all edit batches complete.
    • Actions with no text edits can still run their associated command without showing an edit-applied notification. Unsupported or invalid edits stop command execution and display the relevant warning.

Walkthrough

Interactive code-action edit handling now distinguishes successful no-op edits from applied edits and invalid edits. The selection flow reports applied edits only when applicable, runs attached commands for valid empty edits, and prevents command execution when edit application fails.

Changes: Interactive code actions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Edit outcomes and command flow
internal/app/app_lsp.go, internal/app/app.go, internal/app/workspace_edit_test.go
The edit helper reports separately whether any file was applied and whether all batches completed. The selection callback uses these results to control notifications and command execution. An injected client lookup is used when present, with the language-server manager as fallback. Tests cover empty and unsupported edits, as well as existing partial-application and stale-buffer cases.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to c82cf

Empty-edit code actions can run their commands without claiming an edit was applied, while failed edits still block command execution. The change is ready to merge after normal checks.

Explanation

Issue #1495 requires command execution after a valid empty edit, no status.codeActionApplied notification for that edit, and command suppression after unsupported or failed edits. applyInteractiveCodeActionEdit returns (false, true) for an empty valid edit and rejects invalid edits or stale buffers. HandleCodeActionsResult notifies only when an edit applies and executes the command after a successful no-op. The new tests verify command dispatch, notification behavior, and unsupported-edit command suppression. Existing stale-buffer checks remain in place.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #1495. The client lookup hook supports deterministic command-dispatch tests, and the added tests cover the required code-action behavior. No unrelated changes appear in the reviewed pull-request changes.

- Around line 605-661: Update TestCodeActionsResultRunsCommandWithEmptyEdit to
use a narrow client-lookup seam backed by a fake command client, so selecting
the action dispatches its command and arguments to ExecuteCommand. Assert that
command execution returns no error, and preserve the existing checks that the
empty edit does not show the applied notification and that the result requests
notification.

Comment thread internal/app/workspace_edit_test.go Resolved
Use a narrow command-client lookup seam to verify the selected command, arguments, server, working directory, and successful completion for empty workspace edits. Keep notification checks and use synctest to prove unsupported edits perform no lookup or dispatch without a timed wait.

Validated with make test, make lint, focused race tests, and a mutation check that fails when command arguments are dropped.
