Resolves: #3634

When both the source and target fields of a mapping are optional (minOccurs=0), MappingService.tryAutoOptionalIfWrap now wraps the mapping with an IfItem whose test matches the source path, so the target element is only produced when the source is present. The new IfItem is tagged IfItem.isAutoOptionalIf and renders as a regular, visible if node in this change - the UX polish that hides it is a follow-up.

Also:

  • MappingActionService's field/container-mapping call sites now call tryAutoOptionalIfWrap after mapping a source onto a target, folding the result into the returned structural/targetWasUnmapped flags.
  • WrapperAutoDetectionService.autoDetectOptionalGuards restores the isAutoOptionalIf flag after XSLT deserialization, since the flag itself isn't serialized.
  • MappingService.deleteMappingItem/deleteFromParent now cascade-delete an auto-optional guard once its sole mapped field is removed.
  • CopyOfSelectorHandler reconstructs the intermediate FieldItem when a CONTAINER copy-of is deserialized directly inside an xsl:if.
  • XPathService.isSimplePath checks whether an XPath expression is a bare field reference, used to validate the guard's shape.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Optional source-to-target mappings automatically add conditions to prevent unwanted output when values are missing.
    • Optional fields in nested container mappings are guarded independently.
    • XPath mappings support union, intersection, and exception expressions with accurate mapping links.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Generated conditions are preserved when importing and exporting XSLT mappings.
    • Removing fields cleans up empty generated conditions while retaining user-created conditions.
    • Container copy mappings under conditions are reconstructed correctly during import.
    • Mapping cleanup now better handles stale paths and nested mappings.

📝 Walkthrough

Optional-to-optional mappings now receive automatic IfItem wrappers. Simple wrappers retain an auto-optional flag. XPath parsing supports combined expressions. Deserialization restores settings, guarded mappings, and wrapper state.

Changes: Optional mapping guards

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard state and recognition
packages/ui/src/models/datamapper/mapping.ts, packages/ui/src/services/mapping/wrapper-auto-detection.service.ts, packages/ui/src/services/xpath/xpath.service.ts
Mapping models expose selector paths and auto-optional state. Services classify simple optional guards and update their state after expression changes.
Guard generation and deletion
packages/ui/src/services/mapping/mapping.service.ts, packages/ui/src/services/visualization/mapping-action.service.ts, packages/ui/src/services/.../*.test.ts, packages/ui-tests/cypress/e2e/datamapper/*
Eligible optional mappings create hidden or visible guards. Deletion removes empty automatic guards. Tests cover terminal, container, nested, collection, and structural-change cases.
XPath combination expressions
packages/ui/src/services/xpath/syntaxtree/*, packages/ui/src/services/xpath/xpath.service.ts, packages/ui/src/services/visualization/mapping-links.service.test.ts
The syntax tree represents union, intersect, and except. Traversal, operand extraction, simple-path checks, and mapping-link tests handle combined expressions.
XSLT reconstruction and initialization
packages/ui/src/services/mapping/xslt-item-handlers.ts, packages/ui/src/services/mapping/mapping-serializer.service.ts, packages/ui/src/providers/datamapper.provider.tsx, packages/ui/src/components/DataMapper/debug/ImportMappingFileDropdownItem.tsx
Deserialization reconstructs guarded container copy-of mappings, restores settings, and performs wrapper and optional-guard detection. Import initialization applies returned settings before refreshing the mapping tree.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d6f2b

Mappings that combine paths with union inside function arguments can lose source links in the visualization. Removing a parameter can leave a mapping that references an undeclared parameter, which breaks the generated stylesheet. These should be fixed before merge.

Explanation

[#3634] The mapping and serialization changes implement the optional-to-optional guard behavior and add focused tests. The current code still implements deferred hidden rendering. OptionalGuardDecision includes hidden, decideOptionalGuard() returns hidden for simple selectors, and isEffectivelyAutoOptional() exposes see-through guard behavior. [#3634] requires every auto-created guard to remain a visible regular if node in this sub-issue.

Resolution

Remove hidden and see-through rendering behavior from this pull request. Keep isAutoOptionalIf as metadata only. Render every auto-created guard as a visible regular if node. Update related tests.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed mapping, serialization, deserialization, XPath, and regression-test code supports [#3634]. However, the added hidden/see-through guard behavior is an explicit UX follow-up and is outside the linked issue's current scope. The implementation adds this behavior through OptionalGuardDecision and isEffectivelyAutoOptional().

Resolution

Remove the hidden/see-through UX behavior from this pull request. Defer it to the follow-up issue, while retaining only the visible guard creation and isAutoOptionalIf marker required by [#3634].

Reject unsupported XPath axes before restoring the auto-optional flag.

isSimplePath does not check axes, and the CST visitor drops explicit axis information. Therefore ancestor::x and descendant::x can pass its checks. When an optional field’s sole selector matches the guard expression, auto-detection can mark that guard as auto-optional. Preserve the existing .. parent-step case.

I see a refactoring need here - these 2 method invocations on WrapperAutoDetectionService are basically post-processors of deserialize(). Currently the callers (ImportMappingFileDropdownItem and datamapper.provider) have to know which post-processors to invoke individually, making tight couplings between component, provider, deserializer and post-processors.
We should move this invocation into deserialize(), so deserialize() invokes these 2 methods as post-processors. Probably introduce postDeserialize() private method that invokes these 2 methods in MappingSerializerService, then let deserialize() invoke it. Then when the next post-deserialize addition comes in, we only need to update postDeserialize().

This method is doing two unrelated jobs, and the second one is in the wrong place.

  1. Auto if wrapping when engaging a mapping
  2. Demotion check

Demotion check is a reaction to the XPath expression changing. It should rather happen inside MappingService.updateExpression().

🟡 Minor · Function arguments drop the operands of a nested… · xpath-syntaxtree-cst-visitor.ts:1150-1158

packages/ui/src/services/xpath/syntaxtree/xpath-syntaxtree-cst-visitor.ts:1150-1158
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Function arguments drop the operands of a nested CombineExprNode.

The changed visitMultiplicativeExpr and visitAndExpr can now return an ArithmeticExprNode or a LogicalExprNode that contains a CombineExprNode operand. extractPathsFromOperand does not recurse into CombineExpr, so it returns [] for that operand. processFunctionArgument (Lines 600-622) then keeps only the paths it collected from the other operands and discards the original node.

Example: in concat(a * b | c, 'x'), the argument ExprNode contains only a, so neither b nor c gets a mapping line. Before this change, the visitor kept b and dropped only c. This case contradicts the PR objective that field-path extraction must not drop operands.

Recurse into CombineExpr in the same way as for binary expressions.

🐛 Proposed fix
   private static extractPathsFromOperand(operand: ExprSingleNode): PathExprNode[] {
     if (operand.type === XPathNodeType.PathExpr) {
       return [operand];
     }
-    if (operand.type === XPathNodeType.ArithmeticExpr || operand.type === XPathNodeType.LogicalExpr) {
+    if (
+      operand.type === XPathNodeType.ArithmeticExpr ||
+      operand.type === XPathNodeType.LogicalExpr ||
+      operand.type === XPathNodeType.CombineExpr
+    ) {
       return CstVisitor.extractPathExprsFromBinaryExpr(operand);
     }
     return [];
   }

Also extend BinaryExprNode to ArithmeticExprNode | LogicalExprNode | CombineExprNode. Add a regression test for extractFieldPaths("concat(a * b | c, 'x')").

502-519: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The test does not check that optional-guard detection runs.

The test name says that deserialize() runs autoDetectOptionalGuards. The assertion only checks that mappingTree.children[0] is an IfItem. The deserializer creates that IfItem from the xsl:if element even when no detection runs.

The fixture also cannot match the simple-guard shape. The IfItem child is FieldItem(Root), and its child is FieldItem(person), not a selector. As a result, matchSimpleOptionalGuard returns undefined, and isAutoOptionalIf stays false either way. If someone removes autoDetectOptionalGuards from postDeserialize, this test still passes.

Fix the fixture so the guard matches the simple shape. Place the xsl:if directly around the optional leaf element, inside its parent elements. Then assert isAutoOptionalIf === true. This gives the same check as the serializer round-trip tests.

This fix depends on fax having minOccurs=0 in SchemaTest.xsd. If fax is required, use an optional leaf from that schema instead.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add CombineExpr handling to extractPathsFromOperand.

visitMultiplicativeExpr can place a CombineExprNode in an arithmetic operand. extractPathsFromOperand does not recurse into that node. When another operand produces paths, processFunctionArgument can retain only those paths and omit paths inside the combination.

🐛 Suggested fix
- type BinaryExprNode = ArithmeticExprNode | LogicalExprNode;
+ type BinaryExprNode = ArithmeticExprNode | LogicalExprNode | CombineExprNode;
-    if (operand.type === XPathNodeType.ArithmeticExpr || operand.type === XPathNodeType.LogicalExpr) {
+    if (
+      operand.type === XPathNodeType.ArithmeticExpr ||
+      operand.type === XPathNodeType.LogicalExpr ||
+      operand.type === XPathNodeType.CombineExpr
+    ) {
       return CstVisitor.extractPathExprsFromBinaryExpr(operand);
     }

XPathUtil already traverses both children of CombineExprNode, so no additional traversal change is needed.

🟡 Minor · Remove the stale guard in the container drop paths too. · mapping-action.service.ts:493-495

packages/ui/src/services/visualization/mapping-action.service.ts:493-495
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the stale guard in the container drop paths too.

The terminal field path calls MappingService.unwrapStaleOptionalGuard(item) before it adds a source. The container paths do not.

Example trigger: an optional container already carries a guarded copy-of. The user drops a second source onto it. mapToFieldWithValueType finds the existing CopyOfSelector and appends the new source through XPathService.addSource. hadExistingContent is true, so tryAutoOptionalIfWrap returns 'skip'. The old guard still tests only the first source, so the element is suppressed whenever the first source is absent. This is the failure that unwrapStaleOptionalGuard exists to prevent.

The same gap exists at Line 519 for the applyContainerMapping path. Call MappingService.unwrapStaleOptionalGuard(item) in both container branches after hasMappingContent and before the mapping is applied. Include its result in structural.

🐛 Proposed fix
       const item = MappingActionService.getOrCreateFieldItem(targetNode);
       const hadExistingContent = MappingActionService.hasMappingContent(item);
+      const unwrapped = MappingService.unwrapStaleOptionalGuard(item);
       MappingService.mapToFieldWithValueType(sourceFieldFromNode, item, CopyOfType.CONTAINER_NODE);
       const wrapped = MappingService.tryAutoOptionalIfWrap(item, sourceFieldFromNode, hadExistingContent);
-      return { handled: true, structural: structural || !!wrapped };
+      return { handled: true, structural: structural || !!wrapped || unwrapped };

Apply the same change before MappingService.applyContainerMapping(...) at Line 519.

packages/ui/src/services/mapping/xslt-item-handlers.ts:163
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict container copy-of reconstruction under IfItem to real field names.

This line now runs wrapContainerCopyOfInFieldItem for every IfItem parent, including a user-written xsl:if inside a for-each. resolveFieldFromSelectExpression uses the last / segment of select.

Example trigger: <xsl:for-each select="Item"><xsl:if test="x"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:if></xsl:for-each>. Here localName is ".". getChildField finds no match, so a BaseField named . is created and pushed into parentField.fields. Values such as $var, Item[1], and node() cause the same problem. The target document then shows a fake field, and the mapping tree gets a fake FieldItem.

The handler docs exclude ForEachItem for this reason, but an IfItem inside a loop bypasses that exclusion. To fix this:

  • Validate localName as an XML name before wrapping; xml-name-validator is already a dependency.
  • Skip the wrap for an IfItem whose context is a loop.
🛡️ Proposed fix
+import { name as isXmlName } from 'xml-name-validator';
 ...
     if (!localName) return null;
+    if (!isXmlName(localName)) return null;
     if (
       valueType === CopyOfType.CONTAINER &&
-      (parentMapping instanceof FieldItem || parentMapping instanceof IfItem) &&
+      (parentMapping instanceof FieldItem ||

Remove a mapping when any operand references a removed parameter.

hasStaleSourceDocument now removes a mapping only when every extracted path belongs to the removed document. This rule is not safe for DocumentType.PARAM. Removing a parameter also removes its xsl:param declaration, because populateParam iterates sourceParameterMap.

Example trigger: a mapping uses $Account/Name | /ShipOrder/Name or concat($Account/Name, /ShipOrder/Name), and the user removes the Account parameter. The mapping is kept with a reference to $Account, which is no longer declared. The generated stylesheet then fails XSLT static compilation with an undeclared variable error (XPST0008). The "still-valid half" that the comment protects is part of an expression that can no longer compile.

For the body document, the every rule is acceptable, because an unresolved absolute path only evaluates to empty. Keep every for SOURCE_BODY and use some for PARAM. Alternatively, remove only the stale operand.

pvillant#4

Finally, modelling union operands made every operand visible to stale-mapping cleanup, which then dropped an entire multi-source expression when just one of its source documents was detached — taking the still-valid half with it. Only a mapping whose every referenced path has gone stale is removed now. Pruning the dead operand out of the expression would be better still and needs an inverse of XPathService.addSource; that is left for later.

@igarashitm Thanks for the clarification. Preserving the remaining source mappings makes sense, and I understand that operand pruning is deferred.

The finding concerns parameter removal specifically. If removing Account also removes its xsl:param declaration, retaining $Account/Name | /ShipOrder/Name leaves an undeclared variable reference. The remaining operand cannot prevent that static compilation error.

I recommend checking the serialized XSLT after detaching Account from this mixed-source mapping. Preserving the expression requires either pruning $Account references or retaining a declaration.

Would you like a follow-up issue for stale-operand pruning?

Learning: In KaotoIO/kaoto, packages/ui/src/services/mapping/mapping.service.ts intentionally preserves multi-source XPath expressions during stale-mapping cleanup when at least one referenced source remains valid. The maintainers defer pruning stale operands until an inverse of XPathService.addSource is available. Distinguish this preservation policy from the separate risk of retaining references to removed xsl:param declarations.

Resolves: [KaotoIO#3634](KaotoIO#3634)

When both the source and target fields of a mapping are optional
(minOccurs=0), MappingService.tryAutoOptionalIfWrap now wraps the
mapping with an IfItem whose test matches the source path, so the
target element is only produced when the source is present. The new
IfItem is tagged IfItem.isAutoOptionalIf and renders as a regular,
visible `if` node in this change — the UX polish that hides it is a
follow-up.

Also:
- MappingActionService's field/container-mapping call sites now call
  tryAutoOptionalIfWrap after mapping a source onto a target, folding
  the result into the returned structural/targetWasUnmapped flags.
- WrapperAutoDetectionService.autoDetectOptionalGuards restores the
  isAutoOptionalIf flag after XSLT deserialization, since the flag
  itself isn't serialized.
- MappingService.deleteMappingItem/deleteFromParent now cascade-delete
  an auto-optional guard once its sole mapped field is removed.
- CopyOfSelectorHandler reconstructs the intermediate FieldItem when a
  CONTAINER copy-of is deserialized directly inside an xsl:if.
- XPathService.isSimplePath checks whether an XPath expression is a
  bare field reference, used to validate the guard's shape.
…drag-drop

Whether an auto-optional xsl:if is see-through depends on the mapping under it
still being a plain 1-to-1 field reference. That question was being re-asked
inside tryAutoOptionalIfWrap, which only runs when a mapping is engaged, so a
guard went stale the moment the user edited the expression by hand — in the
inline XPath field, in the Monaco editor, or by dropping a function onto it.
Re-checking now hangs off a generic "the expression changed" event that every
writer announces, and applies the same rule load-time detection applies, so a
guard cannot mean one thing in-session and another after a reload.

Creating a guard was likewise too eager: nothing checked that the field's
mapping actually came from the source being guarded. Dropping an optional
source onto a field already mapped from a required one produced an xsl:if that
gated the first source's output on the second source's presence. Deciding
whether to guard, and whether the guard is see-through, now lives next to the
code that recognises one again after a round trip, so the two cannot drift.

The remaining three changes remove seams that let callers fall out of step.
The two auto-detection passes are post-processors of deserialize(), so
deserialize() runs them itself rather than relying on each caller to remember —
which also stops wrapper detection registering namespace prefixes on a map that
restoreNamespaces had already replaced, losing them before serialization. The
same applies to the XSLT output settings: deserialize() returns them sanitised
for the target type, and the debug importer now adopts them instead of
discarding them and immediately overwriting the imported file's
omit-xml-declaration with the session's own.

Finally, isSimplePath needed to tell "/a" from "/a | /b" but the XPath
syntaxtree had no node for union, intersect or except, so it reached around the
model into the raw CST. The model is maintained enrich-when-needed, and the
absence was not harmless: the visitor kept only the first operand of a
combination, so the second was invisible to field-path extraction and never got
a connection line on the canvas. Modelling it fixes the dropped operand and
lets the workaround go.

…Path

Track each step's axis in StepExprNode and treat a step as "simple" only
when its axis is implicit, child, or attribute, and any reverse step is a
parent reference — rejecting ancestor::, descendant::, following-sibling::,
etc.
Wrapping an optional mapping in an auto-optional xsl:if puts an instruction
between a container field and its children, and a good deal of code reads
children directly on the assumption that what it finds there is the whole
story. That assumption now fails in four places, each with a silent symptom: a
container next to a copy-of was elided and its guarded co
the grandparent; "Delete mapping" matched no branch and did nothing at all; a
re-drop left the container's wholesale copy-of in place s
copied the subtree and emitted the child; and the empty-ancestor cleanup gave
up at the guard, leaving a stray empty element behind. Ra
four separately, this adds the two walks that were missing — one up to the
owning container, one asking whether a subtree contribute
routes the callers through them, so the next wrapper interposed here doesn't
reopen the same set of bugs.

The cascade-delete of an emptied guard is deliberately re
something the original change offered on purpose. It can't be done safely:
isAutoOptionalIf isn't serialized, so on load every shape
flagged, including a presence check the user wrote by hand — and the cascade
would then delete it with no prompt and no undo. The mapp
removed and an emptied field is still cleaned up through the guard; only the
xsl:if itself survives, staying visible and removable.

Dropping a second source onto a guarded field now removes
names a single source, so once the selector carries two the element was
suppressed whenever the first was absent, even though the
output the user never asked for and had no way to see. A guard whose test the
user has edited is left alone.

Two attribute problems, both of which make Kaoto disagree
what an attribute is. Guarded attributes stopped being hoisted ahead of
element content, because two instructions compared equal
ordering rule; the generated stylesheet then failed at transform time with
XTDE0410. Separately, the explicit attribute::name axis r
of that name, so a path the simple-path check accepts could not be matched
