fix(lint): don't flag separate non-null assertions on assignment sides #7935
Conversation
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.

WalkthroughThe 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  Suggested reviewers

106-106: Consider checking ancestors instead of descendants.The
descendants().any()call iterates all descendants ofleft_syntax. For deeply nested expressions, checking ifleft_syntaxis an ancestor ofcurrent_syntaxmight be more efficient:current_syntax.ancestors().any(|anc| anc == *left_syntax)

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!! = nullandcase13!!! = nullare flagged as invalid. Since the rule iterates over everyAnyTsNonNullAssertionnode 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 whencurrent == leftis intentional—it ensures we don't flag the left side itself as extra, only nested assertions within it. The inner assertions in cases likecase14!!are caught by subsequent iterations of the rule against their respective parent contexts.

           Both of these should still be flagged though right? 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: 
 This ensures: 
 I've added test cases for both scenarios and all tests pass. The PR has been updated with the fix.  |
