Fixes #7927

Summary

The noExtraNonNullAssertion rule incorrectly flagged compound assignments like arr[0]! ^= arr[1]! when both sides have non-null assertions. The rule should only flag nested assertions (like arr[0]!!), not separate assertions on different sides of an assignment.

Changes

  • Updated the rule logic to check if a non-null assertion expression is actually nested within the left side of an assignment before flagging it
  • Added test case for the fixed scenario
  • Updated snapshot tests

Testing

  • All existing tests pass
  • New test case added for arr[0]! ^= arr[1]! scenario
  • Invalid cases still correctly flagged

Example

Before (incorrectly flagged):

const arr: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
arr[0]! ^= arr[1]!; // ❌ This was incorrectly flagged

After (correctly allowed):

const arr: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
arr[0]! ^= arr[1]!; // ✅ Now correctly allowed

Still correctly flagged:

const bar = foo!!.bar; // ❌ Still correctly flagged (nested assertion)

Fix issue biomejs#7927 where noExtraNonNullAssertion incorrectly triggered for
compound assignments like arr[0]! ^= arr[1]!. The rule should only flag
nested assertions, not separate assertions on different sides of an
assignment expression.

The fix checks if the non-null assertion is actually nested within
the left side expression tree before flagging it as an error.

Walkthrough

The noExtraNonNullAssertion lint rule was made nesting-aware: a TsNonNullAssertionExpression nested inside another non-null assertion is skipped. For assignment expressions, only non-null assertions nested in the left-hand side are flagged; assertions on the right-hand side are allowed. Ancestor-pair checks and handling for call and static member parent expressions were updated to reflect nesting. Tests were added covering arr[0]!! ^= arr[1] and arr[0] ^= arr[1]!! to address issue #7927. No public API changes.

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

✅ Passed checks (4 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Title check ✅ Passed The pull request title 'fix(lint): don't flag separate non-null assertions on assignment sides' directly and clearly summarises the main change. It specifically refers to the core fix being implemented—distinguishing between separate non-null assertions on different sides of an assignment versus nested assertions—which aligns perfectly with the changeset contents and the primary objective of issue #7927.
Description check ✅ Passed The pull request description is well-related to the changeset. It explains the issue (#7927), provides a clear summary of the problem (false positive flagging), details the changes made (updated rule logic), mentions testing efforts, and includes concrete examples showing before/after behaviour. All aspects directly correspond to the modifications in the code and test files.
Linked Issues check ✅ Passed The pull request successfully addresses all coding requirements from issue #7927. The rule logic has been updated to distinguish between nested non-null assertions (flagged) and independent assertions on different assignment sides (not flagged). Test cases covering both valid scenarios (arr[0]! ^= arr[1]!) and invalid nested cases (arr[0]!! ^= arr[1] and arr[0] ^= arr[1]!!) have been added, and a changeset documenting the fix has been provided.
Out of Scope Changes check ✅ Passed All changes remain focused on the stated objective: fixing the noExtraNonNullAssertion rule for compound assignments. The modifications to the lint rule, test files (valid.ts and invalid.ts), and the changelog entry are all directly scoped to issue #7927. No unrelated refactoring or changes to other systems have been introduced.

106-106: Consider checking ancestors instead of descendants.

The descendants().any() call iterates all descendants of left_syntax. For deeply nested expressions, checking if left_syntax is an ancestor of current_syntax might be more efficient:

current_syntax.ancestors().any(|anc| anc == *left_syntax)

🔇 Additional comments (2)
crates/biome_js_analyze/tests/specs/suspicious/noExtraNonNullAssertion/valid.ts (1)

22-25: LGTM! Test case correctly validates the fix.

The test case appropriately demonstrates that independent non-null assertions on each side of a compound assignment should be valid.

crates/biome_js_analyze/src/lint/suspicious/no_extra_non_null_assertion.rs (1)

98-114: The edge case is handled correctly through the rule's query iteration.

The test cases confirm the logic works: case14!! = null and case13!!! = null are flagged as invalid. Since the rule iterates over every AnyTsNonNullAssertion node separately, each non-null assertion is checked independently. When an inner assertion's parent is the assignment, the check correctly identifies it as nested.

The descendants() check returning false when current == left is intentional—it ensures we don't flag the left side itself as extra, only nested assertions within it. The inner assertions in cases like case14!! are caught by subsequent iterations of the rule against their respective parent contexts.

Both of these should still be flagged though right?

arr[0]!! ^= arr[1]; 
arr[0] ^= arr[1]!!; 

If I understand your change correctly it wouldn't flag the second one?

Address reviewer feedback: ensure nested assertions like arr[0] ^= arr[1]!!
are correctly flagged. The fix now checks for nested assertions first
before checking assignment-specific cases, ensuring all nested assertions
are caught regardless of which side of the assignment they appear on.

Thanks for the feedback! You're absolutely right - both of those cases should still be flagged. I've updated the fix to ensure nested assertions are detected regardless of which side of the assignment they appear on.

The updated fix:

  1. First checks if a non-null assertion is nested within another non-null assertion (catches arr[0]!! and arr[1]!! cases)
  2. Then checks assignment-specific cases (like nested assertions within the left side)

This ensures:

  • arr[0]! ^= arr[1]! - correctly allowed (separate assertions)
  • arr[0]!! ^= arr[1] - correctly flagged (nested assertion on left)
  • arr[0] ^= arr[1]!! - correctly flagged (nested assertion on right)

I've added test cases for both scenarios and all tests pass. The PR has been updated with the fix.

Per feedback:

  • Added a changeset (patch) for @biomejs/biome describing the rule fix.
  • Implemented the suggested refactors:
    • Simplified the nested assertion detection using is_some_and rather than find_map(Some(true/false)).
    • Replaced descendant search with an ancestor check of the current node against the left side syntax to avoid scanning the entire subtree.
  • Re-ran snapshots; the case13!!! = null caret duplication was a snapshot mismatch during iteration. With the latest changes, spec tests for this rule pass locally.
  • cargo-insta: using cargo-insta v1.43.2.

Disclosure (per contributing guide): I used AI assistance for minor syntactic refactors and messaging. The rule logic decisions and testing were authored by me.

If there’s a preferred way to generate the changeset (e.g., just new-changeset), I can update accordingly; I added the file to unblock CI.
