readline: fix issue with newline-less last line #47317
readline: fix issue with newline-less last line #47317

The logic for reading lines was slightly flawed, in that it assumed there would be a final new line. It handled the case where there are no new lines, but this then broke if there were some new lines. The fix in logic is basically removing the special case where there are no new lines by changing it to always read the final line with no new lines. This works because if a file contains no new lines, the final line is the first line, and all is well. There is some subtlety in this functioning, however. If the last line contains no new lines, then `lastIndex` will be the start of the last line, and `kInsertString` will be called from that point. If it does contain a new line, `lastIndex` will be equal to `s.length`, so the slice will be the empty string. Fixes: nodejs#47305
I haven't included a test because I'm not sure what it should be. Since I found this after the fix to the previous infinite loop bug I found (#46731), I'm hesitant to just copy and paste the multi-line test and remove the trailing newline. I also am about to go home for the night but wanted to get this up so nobody wastes their time trying to figure out #47305, if this does actually fix it. Further, with the amount of issues around this, I'm not sure if someone wants a closer eye on what's happening and why these bugs are getting through. |
A test is definitely needed here, otherwise the issue is going to come back eventually. |
The repl test probably isn't strictly necessary, but this area's tests has been lacking sufficiently varying cases which have caused a few bugs to be missed, so it seems reasonable to include.
I added a repl test which is virtually identical to the multiline test that already existed. It might be overkill, but I figure just in case. The readline test checks the minimal issue I posted previously. Both tests fail without the update to readline/interface.js. |

Thanks, LGTM if tests are passing. Two comments:
- Could you add a comment in
test/fixtures/repl-load-multiline-no-trailing-newline.js
that the missing EOL is on purpose (sure it's in the name of the file, but that can easily be missed). - Can you run the linter to fix all the reported style nits?

I actually think the fixed code is more readable than the original, while still correctly keeping track of the state of the RegExp.
LGTM! 🥳
