We pushed a new password error from the backend with the intention that it would be passed through to our SDKs. However, password fields have special behavior that override the generic error builder and do not fallback to the apierror from the backend.

Two layers to the fix:

  1. Specific: handle form_password_matches_identifier, and add the unstable__errors.form_password_matches_identifier key with an en-US string mirroring the server copy.
  2. General: filter to codes present in mapComplexityErrors and, when none remain, fall back to longMessage || message. This restores the passthrough for any future unrecognized code, and stops an unmapped code arriving alongside a mapped one from contributing a blank list item.

Add coverage for longMessage precedence.

This test only supplies message. The new fallback contract is longMessage || message, so add a case with both fields and assert that longMessage is returned. Keep the current case to retain coverage for the message-only fallback.

Comment threadpackages/ui/src/utils/passwordUtils.ts Outdated
Address CI and review feedback on the password error fallback:
- `e.code in complexityErrors` matched inherited properties, so a code named
`toString` or `constructor` would skip the fallback and rebuild the broken
sentence. Use `Object.hasOwn`.
- Return the error itself rather than a pre-resolved string, so `setError`
pipes it through `translateError` and a future unmapped code can still be
localized by code before falling back to the API message. This matches
`createUsernameError`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @clerk/localizations generate` to add the new key to the
other locale files, which the "Verify localizations are generated" CI step
requires.

- oauthConsent.scopeList.privateMetadata (clerk#9226)
billing.months and billing.years render only after a numeric count, via
getBillingPeriodLabel. Ukrainian takes one noun form after 2-4 and another
after 5+, so a single key cannot serve both. They use the invariant
abbreviations «міс.» and «р.», which are correct after any count. This
follows the convention already used for the seat-breakdown strings.

Add coverage for longMessage precedence.

This test only supplies message. The new fallback contract is longMessage || message, so add a case with both fields and assert that longMessage is returned. Keep the current case to retain coverage for the message-only fallback.

As per coding guidelines: “Verify proper error handling and edge cases.”

Address CI and review feedback on the password error fallback:
- `e.code in complexityErrors` matched inherited properties, so a code named
`toString` or `constructor` would skip the fallback and rebuild the broken
sentence. Use `Object.hasOwn`.
- Return the error itself rather than a pre-resolved string, so `setError`
pipes it through `translateError` and a future unmapped code can still be
localized by code before falling back to the API message. This matches
`createUsernameError`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @clerk/localizations generate` to add the new key to the
other locale files, which the "Verify localizations are generated" CI step
requires.

We pushed a new password error from the backend with the intention that it would be passed through to our SDKs. However, password fields have special behavior that override the generic error builder and do not fallback to the apierror from the backend.

Two layers to the fix:

  1. Specific: handle form_password_matches_identifier, and add the unstable__errors.form_password_matches_identifier key with an en-US string mirroring the server copy.
  2. General: filter to codes present in mapComplexityErrors and, when none remain, fall back to longMessage || message. This restores the passthrough for any future unrecognized code, and stops an unmapped code arriving alongside a mapped one from contributing a blank list item.

We pushed a new password error from the backend with the intention that it would be passed through to our SDKs. However, password fields have special behavior that override the generic error builder and do not fallback to the apierror from the backend.

Two layers to the fix:

  1. Specific: handle form_password_matches_identifier, and add the unstable__errors.form_password_matches_identifier key with an en-US string mirroring the server copy.
  2. General: filter to codes present in mapComplexityErrors and, when none remain, fall back to longMessage || message. This restores the passthrough for any future unrecognized code, and stops an unmapped code arriving alongside a mapped one from contributing a blank list item.

Add coverage for longMessage precedence.

This test only supplies message. The new fallback contract is longMessage || message, so add a case with both fields and assert that longMessage is returned. Keep the current case to retain coverage for the message-only fallback.

Comment threadpackages/ui/src/utils/passwordUtils.ts Outdated
Address CI and review feedback on the password error fallback:
- `e.code in complexityErrors` matched inherited properties, so a code named
`toString` or `constructor` would skip the fallback and rebuild the broken
sentence. Use `Object.hasOwn`.
- Return the error itself rather than a pre-resolved string, so `setError`
pipes it through `translateError` and a future unmapped code can still be
localized by code before falling back to the API message. This matches
`createUsernameError`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @clerk/localizations generate` to add the new key to the
other locale files, which the "Verify localizations are generated" CI step
requires.

follows the convention already used for the seat-breakdown strings.

Comment threadpackages/ui/src/utils/passwordUtils.ts Outdated
Address CI and review feedback on the password error fallback:
- `e.code in complexityErrors` matched inherited properties, so a code named
`toString` or `constructor` would skip the fallback and rebuild the broken
sentence. Use `Object.hasOwn`.
- Return the error itself rather than a pre-resolved string, so `setError`
pipes it through `translateError` and a future unmapped code can still be
localized by code before falling back to the API message. This matches
`createUsernameError`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @clerk/localizations generate` to add the new key to the
other locale files, which the "Verify localizations are generated" CI step
requires.

billing.months and billing.years render only after a numeric count, via
getBillingPeriodLabel. Ukrainian takes one noun form after 2-4 and another
after 5+, so a single key cannot serve both. They use the invariant
abbreviations «міс.» and «р.», which are correct after any count. This
follows the convention already used for the seat-breakdown strings.

We pushed a new password error from the backend with the intention that it would be passed through to our SDKs. However, password fields have special behavior that override the generic error builder and do not fallback to the apierror from the backend.

Two layers to the fix:

  1. Specific: handle form_password_matches_identifier, and add the unstable__errors.form_password_matches_identifier key with an en-US string mirroring the server copy.
  2. General: filter to codes present in mapComplexityErrors and, when none remain, fall back to longMessage || message. This restores the passthrough for any future unrecognized code, and stops an unmapped code arriving alongside a mapped one from contributing a blank list item.

Comment threadpackages/ui/src/utils/passwordUtils.ts Outdated
Address CI and review feedback on the password error fallback:
- `e.code in complexityErrors` matched inherited properties, so a code named
`toString` or `constructor` would skip the fallback and rebuild the broken
sentence. Use `Object.hasOwn`.
- Return the error itself rather than a pre-resolved string, so `setError`
pipes it through `translateError` and a future unmapped code can still be
localized by code before falling back to the API message. This matches
`createUsernameError`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @clerk/localizations generate` to add the new key to the
other locale files, which the "Verify localizations are generated" CI step
requires.

billing.months and billing.years render only after a numeric count, via
getBillingPeriodLabel. Ukrainian takes one noun form after 2-4 and another
after 5+, so a single key cannot serve both. They use the invariant
abbreviations «міс.» and «р.», which are correct after any count. This
follows the convention already used for the seat-breakdown strings.

We pushed a new password error from the backend with the intention that it would be passed through to our SDKs. However, password fields have special behavior that override the generic error builder and do not fallback to the apierror from the backend.

Two layers to the fix:

  1. Specific: handle form_password_matches_identifier, and add the unstable__errors.form_password_matches_identifier key with an en-US string mirroring the server copy.
  2. General: filter to codes present in mapComplexityErrors and, when none remain, fall back to longMessage || message. This restores the passthrough for any future unrecognized code, and stops an unmapped code arriving alongside a mapped one from contributing a blank list item.

Add coverage for longMessage precedence.

This test only supplies message. The new fallback contract is longMessage || message, so add a case with both fields and assert that longMessage is returned. Keep the current case to retain coverage for the message-only fallback.

As per coding guidelines: “Verify proper error handling and edge cases.”

184-200: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for longMessage precedence.

This test only supplies message. The new fallback contract is longMessage || message, so add a case with both fields and assert that longMessage is returned. Keep the current case to retain coverage for the message-only fallback.

As per coding guidelines: “Verify proper error handling and edge cases.”

Comment threadpackages/ui/src/utils/passwordUtils.ts Outdated
Address CI and review feedback on the password error fallback:
- `e.code in complexityErrors` matched inherited properties, so a code named
`toString` or `constructor` would skip the fallback and rebuild the broken
sentence. Use `Object.hasOwn`.
- Return the error itself rather than a pre-resolved string, so `setError`
pipes it through `translateError` and a future unmapped code can still be
localized by code before falling back to the API message. This matches
`createUsernameError`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @clerk/localizations generate` to add the new key to the
other locale files, which the "Verify localizations are generated" CI step
requires.

Looks good to me, nice find!

Resolve the conflicts in packages/localizations/src/uk-UA.ts and translate
the keys main added since the last sync:
- billing.checkout: addPromoCode, applyPromoCode, discount,
promoCodePlaceholder, removePromoCode (clerk#9316)
- billing: discountAmount, discountCyclesRemaining, discountDuration,
months, years (clerk#9316)
- unstable__errors.form_password_matches_identifier (clerk#9453)
- oauthConsent.scopeList.privateMetadata (clerk#9226)
billing.months and billing.years render only after a numeric count, via
getBillingPeriodLabel. Ukrainian takes one noun form after 2-4 and another
after 5+, so a single key cannot serve both. They use the invariant
abbreviations «міс.» and «р.», which are correct after any count. This
follows the convention already used for the seat-breakdown strings.
