Drop a folder or a file onto the window by donislawdev · Pull Request #245 · donislawdev/TestingFilesGenerator

What this does

A folder or a file dropped onto the window goes into the path box that takes it, the same as picking it with Choose...

Single batch, Presets, Several batches: a dropped folder becomes the output directory.
Tools: a dropped file or folder goes into the box of the chosen tool when the tool takes that kind (a file for archive-scan, checksum, checksum-check, a folder for checksum-write).
Refused under the box, value kept: a file where a folder goes (and the other way round), several things at once, a path that is not there, something that is neither a file nor a folder.
Nothing happens on About and Preferences (no path box), and on a screen whose work is running (the form is frozen).
An empty path box now says it takes a drop ("Drop a folder here, or type its path").

How

The toolkit has one drop callback per window (Window.SetOnDropped, fyne v2.8.2) and no per-control drop target. The window holds it and routes a drop to the screen being looked at, like a key.
parts.NewPathBox replaces the window's chooserFor. Each path box declares what it takes, and that one declaration picks the picker and decides what a drop may bring. A path box added to any screen takes drops with no more code.
window.AimDrop decides where a drop goes, without the toolkit. One box of the dropped kind takes it wherever it landed, so it stays right where the toolkit's drop position is stale (native Wayland, where GLFW's drag motion handler is empty). The position is asked only between two boxes of one kind, which no screen has today.
The disk is asked what a dropped path is on a worker: os.Stat on an unreachable network path took 21 s on Windows.
window.PathOf gives a path in the system's spelling for a drop and for both pickers, so on Windows a picked path now has backslashes like a dropped one.

Fixed on the way

Fields.Freeze switched off only the first control of a field, so Choose... stayed live beside the frozen output directory during a run. A folder picked mid run went into the box while the run kept writing to the old one. A guard showed it red before the fix.

Checked

Seven new guards (routing table with planted defects, real screens through the stand-in host, path round trip through the toolkit, busy screen, freeze). Each was broken once by hand while being written, and every break turned it red.
Race detector clean on the new guards. The commit gate ran 507 guards, all green.
Stored screens regenerated and looked at (Tools, catalogue PathBox states).
A real drop from the desktop on Windows works.
A real drop on Linux X11 works (Xvfb, a GTK drag source offering text/uri-list as a file manager does, xdotool holding the button): a folder named out a#b %41 ś went into the output directory whole, a file and a drop of two were refused under the box with the value kept.

Not checked

A real drop on macOS: synthetic input there needs an Accessibility permission on the Mac.
A real drop on a native Wayland session. It matters only for a screen with two path boxes of one kind, and no screen has one.

.github/workflows/ci.yml changes (the new file is on the race detector's list), so this merges from the browser.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Drag and drop files or folders into compatible path fields, or enter paths manually. Output fields accept folders; tool inputs accept the file or folder type they require.
- Drops that are unsupported, ambiguous, or made while work is in progress leave existing values unchanged and display an explanation.
Bug Fixes
- Windows paths selected through the file chooser are now handled correctly.
- Choose buttons are disabled while work is in progress.

The toolkit gives one drop callback for the whole window, so the window holds it and routes a drop to the screen being looked at, the same way a key is routed. Every path box declares what it takes, a folder or a file, and that one declaration picks the picker beside it and decides what a drop may bring. A path box added to any screen takes drops without more code. - parts.NewPathBox replaces the window's chooserFor: a box, Choose... beside it, and a hint in the empty box saying a folder or a file can be dropped. It is in the catalogue with its states. - window.AimDrop decides where a drop goes, apart from the window: nothing on a screen with no path box or while its work runs, a refusal for several things at once, for a path that is not there or is neither a file nor a folder, and for the wrong kind. One box of the dropped kind takes it wherever it landed, which keeps it right where the toolkit's drop position is stale (native Wayland). Only between two boxes of one kind is the position asked. - What a dropped path is gets asked on a worker: os.Stat on a network path nobody answers for took 21 s on Windows, and the window would have frozen. - window.PathOf turns a toolkit address into a path in the system's spelling, for a drop and for both pickers, so on Windows a picked path now has backslashes like a dropped one. - Fields.Freeze switches off every control of a field rather than the first: Choose... stayed live beside the frozen output directory during a run.

The two picker mutations named open.go, and the code they break moved to parts.NewPathBox. The empty-screen mutation wrote container.NewVBox into open.go, which no longer imports container. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Walkthrough

The change adds file and folder path boxes, picker integration, and window-level drag-and-drop handling. The window checks dropped paths and target compatibility, then sets the selected field or reports a refusal. Tests and documentation cover the new behavior.

Changes: Path fields and drag-and-drop

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Path-box contract and screen integration `internal/gui/parts/`, `internal/gui/window/{open,generate,preset,recipe,tools}.go`, `internal/gui/run_cgo.go`, `internal/gui/text/`, `internal/gui/catalogue/`, `internal/guard/testdata/screens/`, `internal/guard/frozenform_test.go`, `CHANGELOG.md`	Path boxes now identify file or folder inputs, display matching hints, and use the appropriate picker. Output and tool-input screens use path boxes. Field freezing disables nested controls, and the catalogue, locale messages, tests, and changelog include the related updates.
Drop decisions and window routing `internal/gui/window/{dropaim,dropping,open,generate}.go`, `internal/gui/text/*`, `internal/guard/{dropping_test,window_test,concurrency_test,mutationcoverage_test}.go`, `internal/guard/mutation/entries.py`, `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `.github/workflows/ci.yml`	The window checks dropped paths asynchronously and uses `AimDrop` to choose a target or refuse the drop. Accepted paths update the field; refusals set a message. Guards cover routing, path conversion, invalid drops, and active work. The README and changelog document the behavior.

Dropping a folder or file onto a path box works as described, but in rare cases with a slow network path a drop can land after work finishes or overwrite text typed in the meantime. One refusal message gives advice that cannot work for names that are not valid text. These are small, recoverable issues and are worth fixing before or soon after merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Drop a folder or a file onto the window" describes the main change: drag-and-drop of folders and files onto the window to fill path fields. The changeset routes window-level drops to path fields (internal/gui/window/dropping.go, dropaim.go) and documents the behavior in README and CHANGELOG. The title is specific and plain-language, though it does not mention that drops are routed per screen or that the file-chooser refactor (pathBox/NewPathBox) is included. It is within the title requirements: plain, descriptive, under 140 characters, and not a vague prefix such as 'Fix' or 'Update'.

Full details: Tests For Changed Behavior

Explanation

The PR changes non-UI runtime behavior: drop routing and decisions in internal/gui/window/dropaim.go (AimDrop), drop handling and path inspection in internal/gui/window/dropping.go, PathOf, parts.PathTargets/pathBoxesOf, and the Fields.Freeze traversal in internal/gui/parts/fields.go. It adds and updates tests for this behavior: - New tests: internal/guard/dropping_test.go (+339 lines, six TestA... functions covering routing, path preservation, accepted and refused drops, and drops while busy). - New freeze guard: TestEveryControlOfAFieldIsOffWhileARunOwnsTheScreen in internal/guard/frozenform_test.go. - Updated guard support: concurrency_test.go, window_test.go, and mutationcoverage_test.go now cover the new file and drop callback. No test was deleted. The diff contains no added t.Skip, SkipNow, or t.Fail lines. The only removed lines in test-related files are in internal/guard/mutation/entries.py. They change one mutation substitution (container.NewVBox() to &fyne.Container{}) and retarget two picker mutations from open.go to pathbox.go, which matches the moved implementation. The guard names are unchanged, so this is retargeting, not weakening. The CI change is a no-op list replacement. Docs, locale, and catalogue or screen fixtures are not runtime behavior. Open review threads (unresolved, code status unknown) raise a busy-screen race, a stale-field overwrite, a dropped-name recovery message, and two mutation-map entries. These affect completeness, not the presence of tests for changed behavior, so they do not change this verdict.

Full details: No Secrets Or Debug Leftovers

Explanation

The diff (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head) was checked for each item in the custom check. - Private agent or env files: No added or modified file is named CLAUDE.md, CLAUDE.local.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/, or .env*. The only file-name hits are ordinary source, test, and screen-fixture files. - Credentials, tokens, keys, private URLs: No added line contains password, secret, token, API key, private key, or AWS-style key patterns. No internal hostnames or private IP addresses were found. The only URLs in the added lines are not private. - Personal e-mails: None found in added lines. - Debug leftovers: No added Go line uses fmt.Print*, println(, log.Print*, or a debug panic. No added line uses dbg!, pprint, breakpoint(), debugger, Debug.WriteLine, Console.WriteLine, or console.log. The TODO/FIXME/XXX search found nothing that looks like debug code. - ci.yml: The only change is adding internal/gui/window/dropping.go to an existing watched list. No secrets or debug output were added. One match needs a note. The /home/someone/... strings appear in internal/guard/testdata/screens/catalogue.xml, internal/gui/catalogue/controls.go, and internal/guard/dropping_test.go. They are sample path values for rendering fixtures ("/home/someone/tfg-out", "/home/someone/<long name>.zip"). The user name someone is a generic placeholder, not a real user or machine name. The paths are not used to reach any real local resource. I judged them as fixture data, not a hardcoded local path leak. If the team follows the check literally, they could replace these with a neutral placeholder such as /tmp/example-out. That change is optional. The "Generated with Claude Code" line in the PR description is prose, not an added private file or credential, so it does not fail this check.

Full details: No Hardcoded Ui Styling

Explanation

The PR touches Fyne GUI code, so the check applies. I inspected the added and changed GUI source and found no new literal styling on individual controls. - internal/gui/parts/pathbox.go (new) builds the path box with NewButton(Secondary, ...) and container.NewBorder. It sets no colors, fonts, sizes, paddings, or radii. It reuses the shared button style and the text helpers. - internal/gui/catalogue/controls.go: pathBox() adds five states through the existing Entry/State catalogue pattern. disabledAll is a generic loop over fyne.Disableable objects. It adds no literal styling. - internal/gui/parts/fields.go: Freeze now walks every control via freezeUnder and setFrozen. This is a loop, not copy-pasted controls, and sets no style values. - window/open.go, generate.go, preset.go, recipe.go, and tools.go swap chooserFor for the shared pathBox helper. This reduces duplication. - The Go grep for color, font, size, padding, margin, and radius terms in added internal/gui lines found only comments and logic, not styling values. The only literal pixel and color values are in internal/guard/testdata/screens/catalogue.xml. That file is a stored screen dump that the author states was regenerated by the tooling. It is test data, not hand-written UI source, so it does not trigger this check. No condition in the custom check is met.

Full details: No Obvious Performance Problems

Explanation

No clear, concrete performance problem introduced or touched by this PR was found. Evidence from the PR range (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head): - internal/gui/window/dropping.go: the only disk access on a drop is os.Stat through readDropped. It runs in a goroutine (read) and returns to the UI thread via fyne.Do, so it does not block the interface thread. Multi-item drops are refused before any disk call, and only one os.Stat runs per drop. - PathTargets walks the fields list once per drop. The list holds a handful of fields, so the cost is trivial. - boxesOf calls areaOf, which queries toolkit positions, only when there are two or more path boxes. Today no screen has more than one box of a kind, so this is rarely reached. - internal/gui/parts/fields.go: Freeze now walks each field's control tree with walkControls. This runs on run start and stop, not per frame or in a polling loop. The cost is linear in the size of each control tree. - pathbox.go and dropaim.go contain only constant-size logic. - The remaining changes are tests, mutation entries, locale strings, documentation, catalogue XML and PNG fixtures, and one CI line. None of these are runtime paths. The review comments are about correctness (busy check, stale field revision, recovery text). None concerns performance. No O(n^2) processing, per-item expensive call, unbounded UI item addition, or polling loop was found.

Full details: Safe File Parsing

Explanation

The check does not apply to a change of this kind. The PR adds drag-and-drop path entry. It does not add any new file parser, importer, or exporter. Evidence from the diff (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head): - internal/gui/window/dropping.go readDropped calls only os.Stat on the dropped path. It reads no file content. It classifies the path as a folder, a regular file, or neither. It rejects invalid UTF-8 before the stat call. - The stat runs in a goroutine (dropping.read). The UI thread does not wait on it. This reduces hang risk on unreachable network paths. The code comment records a 21 s stall observed for this case. - Multi-item drops are refused before any disk access (dropped, len(uris) > 1). - PathOf only converts a path to the system separator (filepath.FromSlash). It does not resolve links or follow paths outside the chosen folder. The user chooses the path, as with the picker. - internal/gui/run_cgo.go changes only the path string returned by the picker. It adds no new file access. - dropaim.go and pathbox.go are pure decision and widget code. They do not parse files. - The changed .xml files are guard test screen fixtures. The changed .json files are locale strings. These are existing formats. The PR adds no new parser or decoder for them. - No CSV, XLSX, or formula writer is added or changed. No exec, template evaluation, YAML, or deserialization of arbitrary types is added. Pre-existing archive and tool readers are outside this diff. The PR changes only how a dropped path reaches the existing tool input. The PR does not change how those readers behave. No explicit failure condition of "Safe file parsing" is introduced by this PR.

Full details: System Changes Are Reversible

Explanation

The check applies only when the PR adds or changes code that modifies system state: network filters or rules, proxy, firewall, system time, process hooking or injection, Windows services, registry, or drivers. This PR does not do that. - The changed-file list shows a drag-and-drop path feature in a desktop GUI. It touches window, parts, text, locale, guard test, and documentation files, plus a CI workflow line. - A keyword scan of added non-test, non-doc lines found no firewall, proxy, time, service, registry, driver, hook, or injection changes. The hits were a comment about the Go format registry, the Fyne driver API used for widget positions, and a watched= list in CI. - The only filesystem call in the new drop code is a read-only os.Stat in internal/gui/window/dropping.go (line 161). It runs on a worker to classify a dropped path. The code does not write, remove, or execute anything on the system. The PR changes application UI state only, such as path-box values and form freezing. Those are not system state under the check. The check is inapplicable, so it passes.

Full details: No Resource Leaks

Explanation

No new resource leak found in the changed code. Checked: - Goroutine in internal/gui/window/dropping.go (dropping.read, ~line 115). One goroutine starts per single-item drop. It runs readDropped (os.Stat), then fyne.Do. It ends when os.Stat returns. It has no cancellation path, but its work is bounded. The reading WaitGroup is balanced by defer Done(). Residual risk: a network path that never answers can keep one goroutine blocked in a syscall until the OS times out. The PR does not make this unbounded. Each drop adds at most one such goroutine, and only while the user keeps dropping onto an unresponsive path. - Handler registration. wireDropping calls h.SetOnDropped(d.dropped) once per window.Open. Open runs once per window (run_cgo.go:433). The toolkit replaces the single callback, so handlers do not accumulate. - Maps, slices, queues. The dropping.screens map holds one entry per keyboard screen. PathTargets and boxesOf build fresh slices per drop and do not retain them. No cache, log, or history grows without limit. - Native and file handles. The only new os call is os.Stat, which holds no handle. PathOf and pathBox open no dialogs or streams. The ChooseDirectory and pickedPath changes only convert the URI string. - Timers and tickers. None added in the diff. - Test code. dropping_test.go and frozenform_test.go use t.Cleanup(w.Close). No unstopped goroutines or timers found. - Freeze change (fields.go). Walks controls and calls Enable/Disable. Allocates no retained resources. The review thread on busy-screen and field-revision races concerns state correctness, not resource release, so it does not affect this check.

Full details: Scope, Duplication And Docs

Explanation

Scope, docs, and compatibility checks pass. - Scope matches the title and description. The 33 changed files all serve drag-and-drop path entry or its tests. The description also discloses the two side changes: the Fields.Freeze fix ("Fixed on the way") and the ci.yml watched-list edit. The ci.yml diff adds internal/gui/window/dropping.go to the watched list. This is not the "identical list" the raw summary describes, but the description explains it. - Duplication is consolidation, not new duplication. parts.NewPathBox replaces the window's chooserFor in open.go, generate.go, preset.go, recipe.go, and tools.go. Base-branch grep shows no existing PathOf, NewPathBox, SetOnDropped, or pathbox helper to duplicate. The freezeUnder traversal in fields.go replaces the existing single-control logic. A minor observation: disabledAll in internal/gui/catalogue/controls.go and the new liveControls in internal/guard/frozenform_test.go walk fyne.Disableable trees, as the base test helpers in switchedoff_test.go and reachability_test.go already do. These are separate packages and purposes, so I do not count them as a warn-level duplication. - Docs updated. README.md (+6) and CHANGELOG.md (+15) both change and describe the user-facing drop behavior, refusals, and Windows backslash paths. - No breaking public change. The only changed interface is window.Host, which gains SetOnDropped. It is an internal package. No CLI arguments, configuration format, or persisted data format change in the reviewed range, so no "Breaking changes" section is required. Review threads about busy-screen timing, field-edit races, and mutation coverage are correctness or test-quality concerns. They fall outside this check's criteria and were not weighed.

Full details: Desktop Robustness

Explanation

Summary: The PR adds a drop-triggered disk read that can run for a long time and has no progress, cancel, or double-run guard. The window close also waits for it. This matches the check item "starts a long operation without progress/cancel or without preventing double execution." Evidence (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/head, internal/gui/window/dropping.go, new file): - dropped (lines 101-112) calls d.read(...) for every single-URI drop. read (lines 134-141) starts a new goroutine that calls readDropped, which calls os.Stat (line 161). The PR's own doc comment (lines 97-100) says this call took 21.0 s on a network path. - No progress indicator, no cancel, and no check for a read already in flight. Each drop starts another os.Stat call. latest (lines 147-148) only discards stale answers. It does not stop the work. - wireDropping is added to offerSettling in open.go (diff line offerSettling(h, []interface{ Settled() }{gen, pre, rec, tools, out, wireDropping(h, keyed, &looking)})). Settled() waits on d.reading (line 93). The closing path (closing.go, comments at lines 14-22) waits for all settling participants before the window closes. So a hung network path can delay window close by the full stat timeout. - os.Stat has no context and cannot be interrupted, so the only way to stop it is to stop waiting for it. Checked and not matched: - Background work after close: covered. The read is registered as a settling participant, so close waits for it. - Config/data writes, culture-dependent number or date handling, relative asset loading, admin rights, undisclosed network calls, and destructive disk actions: no matching added code in the diff. Field.Clear() only replaces a text box value on a successful drop. - Busy state: AimDrop refuses a drop while the screen is busy, and land checks occupied again on completion. This prevents a field change during work. It does not stop the disk read from starting. Counterpoint: the stat is a single system call, and the PR discards stale results. The check still applies because the author measured it at 21 s and it runs without progress or cancel.

Resolution

In internal/gui/window/dropping.go, reject a new single-item drop while a previous read is still pending. Or cancel the older read by ignoring its result and blocking the new one. Add a pending flag set in read and cleared in the fyne.Do callback. 2. Bound the wait. Run readDropped with a timeout, for example via a channel and time.After, and report the timeout as an Unread error so the window does not wait on a hung network path. 3. Show a visible "reading the dropped path" state in the target field while the read runs, so the user sees progress. 4. In closing.go, do not make Settled() wait on d.reading without a bound. Or keep the wait and document the worst-case close delay.

Full details: Clear User-Facing Text

Explanation

The PR adds user-facing text: drop refusals, path-box hints, and locale entries in en.json and pl.json. The check applies. Violation found: the error for an unrepresentable name tells the user to "Type the path instead." The text is DropNotText (internal/gui/text/dropping.go; en.json line 330: "The name of what was dropped is not text this box can hold. Type the path instead."). readDropped in internal/gui/window/dropping.go sets NotText when utf8.ValidString(path) is false. Such a name cannot be typed into the box, because typed input is UTF-8. The recovery the text gives cannot work. The message does not say what the user can do next. Lesser issue: DropAimless reads "Drop it onto the box it is for." The pronoun "it" is vague, and the message does not name the box. The user must guess which box accepts the item. Minor: the hint strings "Drop a folder here, or type its path" and the pl equivalents have no final period, while other hint strings in the locale files do. The term is also "path box" in code and docs, "box" in the messages, and "field" in DropTakesFolder/DropTakesFile through Field.Label. This does not change the verdict. The review thread on DropNotText is still unresolved. The current head still has the same wording, so the issue remains.

Resolution

Replace the DropNotText text (internal/gui/text/dropping.go and both locale files) with a recovery the user can perform: - en: "This name has characters this box cannot hold. Rename the file or folder using plain text, then drop it again." - pl: "Ta nazwa zawiera znaki, których to pole nie obsługuje. Zmień nazwę pliku lub folderu na tekst z normalnych znaków i upuść go ponownie." Update the hash values in en.json and pl.json after the change. 2. Replace the DropAimless text so it names the target. Pass the box label to the function, as DropTakesFolder does: - en: "Drop it onto the {{.Box}} box." Use the kind-specific label, for example "Drop the file onto the Archive path box." - pl: "Upuść go na pole {{.Box}}." 3. Add a final period to HintDropFolder and HintDropFile in both locales, for consistency with other hints. Use the same term, "path box," in code comments, docs, and messages.

reject the drop if the screen is already busy; retain the completion-time check
in land to handle work that starts during inspection. Add a test that holds
inspection until active work finishes and verifies the dropped path does not
change the screen.
