fix(assets): await directory scan and harden unscanned lookups by tada5hi · Pull Request #852 · routup/plugins

tada5hi · 2026-11-08T11:29:06Z

Summary

createHandler started its directory scan without waiting for it. A request that arrived before the scan finished got a 404 for an existing file, and a missing or unreadable directory caused an unhandled rejection. The existing tests worked around this by sleeping before each request.

The handler now waits for the scan before its first lookup, and a scan failure is reported to the request as a 500 instead of an unhandled rejection. Entries that cannot be resolved during the scan, such as dangling symlinks or files removed mid-scan, are skipped; an unreadable root directory still fails. readDirectory and scanFiles now return promises. Behavior with scan: false is unchanged.

With scan: false, the request path was joined onto the directory without any check, so a path with parent segments could resolve outside it. Those candidates are now skipped. Symlinks inside the directory are still followed.

The dotfile filter is now always applied. It was only added when ignores was passed, so with scan: false a request for /.env was served despite dotFiles defaulting to false. .well-known stays servable, matching the scan.

This branch also merges the latest master.

Verification

npm test --workspace=packages/assets: 13 passed, with the sleeps removed. Before the fixes, 9 failed and an unhandled rejection was reported
npx eslint packages/assets/src: passes
npm run build --workspace=packages/assets: passes

The scan was started without being awaited, so a request arriving before it finished got a 404, and a missing directory caused an unhandled rejection. Await the scan in the handler and report a failure to the request.

Walkthrough

Asset directory traversal and scanning now return promises that represent completion. The handler starts scanning during creation and waits for it before processing each request.

Changes: Asset scan completion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Await directory traversal and scanning `packages/assets/src/utils/directory.ts`, `packages/assets/src/utils/scan-files.ts`	`readDirectory` now awaits directory reads, file stats, and recursive traversals. `scanFiles` awaits `readDirectory` and returns a promise.
Wait for scan in the handler `packages/assets/src/handler.ts`, `packages/assets/test/unit/module.spec.ts`	The handler starts and retains the scan promise, then awaits it for each request. Tests remove delay waits, check that the first nested-file request returns status 200, and check that a missing asset directory returns status 500.

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to ab834

A disappearing file or temporary directory error can leave all requests through the asset handler failing until it is recreated. Handle missing entries and allow failed scans to recover before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the directory scan is now awaited, and unscanned lookups are hardened. The raw summary confirms readDirectory and scanFiles are now async and awaited in createCoreHandler. The title's type prefix and scope follow conventional commit style. It is specific and concise, and the 62-character length is within a normal range. The objectives mention a related but narrower framing (waiting for the scan before serving requests, and reporting scan failures as 500), which the title covers in part through "await directory scan". The phrase "harden unscanned lookups" is slightly vague but refers to a real part of the change, the handling of requests before or without a completed scan.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Retry failed scans on a later request.

If the startup scan fails temporarily, every request awaits the same rejected promise, even after the directory becomes readable. The handler cannot serve any files until it is recreated. Retry the scan after a failure and rebuild the cache before serving requests.

A dangling symlink or a file removed mid-scan rejected the whole scan, so every request failed. Skip those entries and keep failing when the root directory cannot be read.

…rectory-scan # Conflicts: # packages/assets/test/unit/module.spec.ts

With scan disabled the request path was joined onto the directory without a check, so a path containing parent segments could resolve outside it and every consumer needed its own guard. Skip candidates that resolve outside the directory.

The dotfile filter was only added when ignores were passed, so with scan disabled a request for a dotfile was served even though dotFiles defaults to false. Always apply it, and keep .well-known servable as the scan does.

The scan was started without being awaited, so a request arriving before it finished got a 404, and a missing directory caused an unhandled rejection. Await the scan in the handler and report a failure to the request.
