After the dev server parses one regex literal, source injection silently adds zero data-tsd-source attributes to every later file. This PR makes the AST walker skip primitive values, so a cached child key can no longer throw.

🎯 Changes

  • getChildKeys caches the object-valued keys of the first node of each type. A regex Literal has an object value, so value goes into the cache for all Literal nodes.
  • A later string Literal then reaches 'type' in value with a string, which throws TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator. addSourceToJsx catches the error and returns nothing.
  • forEachChild now skips any value that is not an object. Arrays keep their current handling.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Testing

Commands run

Manual test

  1. In a Vite app with devtools(), add a file with a regex literal (const r = /abc/g) and import it before your components.
  2. Before this fix: the page has no data-tsd-source attributes after the dev server parses that file.
  3. After this fix: components get data-tsd-source attributes as before.

How this PR makes testing easy

A unit test in ast-utils.test.ts builds two nodes of one type (object value, then string value) and expects no throw.

Linked issues

Fixes #523

Risk / rollback

Low. The walker only skips values that cannot be AST nodes. To undo, revert this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed an issue where source injection could fail on files containing string literals after the dev server had processed a regex literal.
    • Prevented primitive values encountered during syntax-tree traversal from interrupting processing, helping preserve source annotations on affected files.

getChildKeys caches the object-valued keys of the first node it sees for a
type. A regex Literal has an object `value`, so `value` was cached for every
Literal. A later string Literal then reached `'type' in value` with a string,
which throws. addSourceToJsx catches the error and returns nothing, so after
one regex literal no file got data-tsd-source attributes.

forEachChild now skips every non-object value.

Fixes #523

Source injection no longer stops after the dev server parses a regex literal. Before this fix, one regex literal anywhere in the module graph made every later file get zero `data-tsd-source` attributes.

Narrow the changeset’s impact claim.

The module-scoped cache can cause a later traversal to throw when a cached child key contains a primitive. addSourceToJsx catches that exception and returns for the current file. It does not disable injection for every later file.

Suggested changeset wording
-Source injection no longer stops after the dev server parses a regex literal. Before this fix, one regex literal anywhere in the module graph made every later file get zero `data-tsd-source` attributes.
+Source injection no longer stops when a later AST traversal encounters a primitive under a cached child key. Before this fix, a regex literal could cache `value` for `Literal`; a later file with a string literal could then abort its traversal and receive zero `data-tsd-source` attributes.
