fix(compiler): translate JSX passed through attributes (ENG-1368) by cherkanovart · Pull Request #2196 · lingodotdev/lingo.dev

cherkanovart · 2026-08-20T14:52:10Z

Closes ENG-1368.

Problem

processJSXElement ends with path.skip() (packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts), which prunes the entire subtree — openingElement included. JSX handed to a component through an attribute was therefore never visited:

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Text A</span>}>Text B</FrameHeader>

Before: ["Text B"] — Text A silently untranslated.
After: ["Text A", "Text B"].

The skip only fires when the element had translatable text children, which is why the bug looks intermittent: the same prop JSX extracts fine on an element whose children are not directly translatable.

Broader than the original report — translatable attributes inside prop JSX (alt on an <img>) were lost too, and rich-text hosts (Hello world) are affected.

Fix

The skip is load-bearing: in the mixed branch rewriteChildren moves children into arrow functions inside t(), so re-traversing would duplicate entries. Deleting it is not an option. Instead the opening element is traversed with the same visitors immediately before the skip, guarded on JSXElement because the function also serves JSXFragment (which has no attributes).

Plain attributes are unaffected — componentVisitors has no JSXAttribute visitor, so only nested JSX and functions inside attribute expressions get picked up.

Verification

239 passed | 1 todo (240) in packages/new-compiler, tsc --noEmit clean.
Zero changes to existing snapshots — the four new snapshots are the only additions.
The four new tests were confirmed to fail with the source change stashed and the tests in place (expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text A', 'Text B' ]), so they genuinely cover the regression. There was no test for JSX-in-props before.

Not covered

Left out deliberately, different root causes:

prop JSX inside rich/mixed content — serializeJSXChildren only calls translateAttributes on the moved element
arrow render props (renderCell={() => Cell}) — inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute

Note for the release

The changeset calls this out: strings that were silently untranslated become new translation entries, so translation volume can jump on the next build.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved translation extraction for JSX nested within component properties, including nested text, translatable attributes, deeply nested JSX, and rich-text elements.
- Added support for JSX in callback and arrow render props.
- Prevented duplicate translation entries while preserving deterministic ordering and existing mixed-content behavior.
- Avoided incorrect locale attributes and hook injection in JSX callback properties, including document-root elements.
Tests
- Added coverage for callback render props, extracted text and attributes, entry counts, ordering, and transformed output.

The compiler now traverses JSX inside component attributes with component visitors. Prop-contained functions remain traversable, while nested components and <html> elements follow dedicated handling. Tests and a changeset document the behavior.

Changes

JSX prop translation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attribute JSX traversal and coverage `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts`, `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/transform.test.ts`	The transformer discovers JSX in attribute values, registers callback JSX with the enclosing component, and skips locale injection for nested `<html>` elements.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 35a2a

The change translates JSX nested in component attributes, recovering previously missed translation entries. Compiler checks pass, but an unresolved locale-only rewrite path may report no transformation and interfere with downstream output handling, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Verified end to end in a real Vite build, not just at the unit level.

Put the reporter's exact shape into demo/new-compiler-vite-react-spa (a real app running the real lingoCompilerPlugin):

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Next settlement in 4 days</span>}>
Settlement overview
</FrameHeader>

Then ran vite build against the same tree with and without the source change:

without the fix: 📊 Found 21 translatable entries → de: 1/21 translations missing
with the fix: 📊 Found 22 translatable entries → de: 2/22 translations missing

Without it the compiler extracts only Settlement overview; the string inside the actions prop is invisible to it. With it both are extracted. That is the reported defect, reproduced and closed in an actual build pipeline.

The demo was reverted afterwards — this branch contains no demo changes.

Multi-agent review found a blocking defect — fixed in `a91db59`

Ten reviewers ran over this: five generic lenses (correctness, types, patterns, simplicity, performance) and five lingo-specific critics (release gates, evidence, prior art, domain boundaries, data/auth). The last two were collapsed — this diff has no API surface and no destructive path.

Blocking, now fixed

The sub-traversal ran the fullcomponentVisitors set. inferComponentName accepts any named function expression regardless of its parent, so a callback handed to a prop was treated as a component and given a useTranslation call it never runs as one:

<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}>Text B</FrameHeader>

produced, before the fix:

actions={functionrenderIt(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["1bca1cd97ffd"]);// rules-of-hooks violationreturn<span>{t("1bca1cd97ffd","Text A")}</span>;}}

Two reviewers reached this independently. Same root cause let injectHtmlLangAttribute fire on an <html> nested inside a prop, marking the enclosing component as needing locale.

The fix introduces attributeVisitors — a narrowed set carrying only JSXElement and JSXFragment, without the function visitors and without injectHtmlLangAttribute. Traversal still descends through a callback body and finds JSX there, so the string is still extracted; it is registered on the enclosing component and t resolves through the closure:

exportfunctionPage(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["479a5bef5d96","531408adb9a0"]);return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>{t("531408adb9a0","Text A")}</span>;}}>{t("479a5bef5d96","Text B")}</FrameHeader>;}

One hook, in the component, both hashes on it. Two regression tests pin this.

Also addressed

.sort() removed from three assertions — entry order is deterministic and worth pinning: an element's children are rewritten before its opening element is traversed, so host text precedes prop JSX and outer precedes inner (["Shallow", "Middle", "Deep"]).
toHaveLength added, per the pattern in TESTING.md.
The rich-text test now asserts the mixed content its name claims, not just toContain.
! replaced with the file's assert.isDefined idiom.
Changeset trimmed to what a consumer reading the changelog needs; the control-flow walkthrough lives here instead.

Evidence gap closed

One reviewer noted the end-to-end claim had no artifact behind it. Raw console output, same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped:

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- es: 1/21 translations missing
- de: 1/21 translations missing
- fr: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 22 translatable entries
- es: 2/22 translations missing
- de: 2/22 translations missing
- fr: 2/22 translations missing

All six tests confirmed to fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main: expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text B', 'Text A' ]. Full suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean.

Verified and refuted

No unwired prior art. The frozen packages/compiler's data-jsx-attribute-scope machinery only ever handled string-literal attributes, never a JSX element in a prop.
path.skip() protects exactly what the comment claims — rewriteChildren embeds rebuilt copies of nested rich-text elements into the t() call, and the new traverse targets a structural sibling of children, so it cannot re-enter them.
Single-visit invariant holds. Measured on a synthetic chain: depth 10→320 costs 1.87ms→19.96ms, sub-linear, indistinguishable from origin/main's 1.42ms→17.49ms. Quadratic would be ~1000×. path.get() is a WeakMap lookup, not a walk.
data-lingo-skip on a host dropping its prop JSX is not a defect — it is a consistent reading of "skip this subtree".
patch is the right bump. Precedent in this package: 0.4.11 (aiTimeout default) and 0.4.9 (cache-write behaviour) both shipped as patch; minors were reserved for API surface changes.
Prettier line length is not a gate here — .prettierrc exists but prettier is not installed, not scripted, not in CI, and not in a pre-commit hook.

Known residual, out of scope

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop is still missed, because serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a different recursive descent that never walks the child's opening element:

<div>Hello <strongextra={<em>note</em>}>world</strong></div>// "note" not extracted

Named in the changeset, tracked on ENG-1368. No test added — asserting the current output would pin behaviour we intend to change.

⛔ Do not merge — a second review round found the fix incomplete

This PR is approved and mergeable, but a delta review of a91db593 turned up a blocking defect. Holding until it is fixed.

a91db593 narrowed the sub-traversal to attributeVisitors so a callback in a prop would stop being treated as a component. That narrowing is only reached when the host element has translatable content of its own. processJSXElement returns at if (!scope) return — with no path.skip() — for a self-closing host, an expression-only host, or a whitespace-only host, and Babel's ambient descent then continues under the full componentVisitors, straight into the attribute.

So the original defect still reproduces on the more common shape:

exportfunctionPage(){return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}/>;}

still compiles to a useTranslation call inside renderIt. Same for an <html> in a prop of a scope-less host — it still gets lang={locale}, contradicting the guarantee the new test claims to cover. Both new tests give their host sibling text, which is exactly the path where the narrowing does engage, so neither catches this.

Two reviewers reached this independently, each with a reproduction.

Where the real guard belongs

Not in the visitor set. inferComponentName accepts any named function regardless of where it sits, so the guard belongs in processComponentFunction: a function inside the value of a JSX attribute is never a component. Returning there withoutpath.skip() keeps its JSX reachable, so the string is still translated and attributed to the enclosing component, where t resolves through the closure. injectHtmlLangAttribute needs the same test at its call site.

That covers every shape rather than one, lets attributeVisitors be deleted along with the duplication it introduced, and incidentally fixes arrow render props — today renderItem={() => Hello} on a scope-less host emits zero entries, because inferComponentName returns null and the following path.skip() prunes the subtree outright. That case is currently listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it would stop needing to be.

Also worth fixing while here

transform.test.ts — result.code.match(/useTranslation/g)).toHaveLength(2) proves a global count, not placement. If a regression injected the hook into renderIt instead of Page, the count would still be 2 and the test would pass. Placement is only established by the paired snapshot. Assert placement directly.
not.toContain("lang={locale}") cannot see the enclosing component being spuriously marked as needing locale without the attribute ever being emitted.
attributeVisitors.JSXElement is componentVisitors.JSXElement minus one line, 165 lines apart, with nothing forcing them to stay in sync. Moot if the object goes away.
My earlier comment quoted one assertion message as characterising all six failures. It is exact for three of them; the other three fail with the same root cause and different literals.

Verified clean, for the record

Gates all pass — changeset well-formed, patch correct against this package's precedent (#2192, #2190 both patch for behaviour-changing fixes), package name right, no npm/yarn, no DDL. Suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean, snapshot diff additions-only, CI green against a91db593 itself. No prior art existed to reuse and there is no revert of this shape in the file's history.

…isitor set

cherkanovart · 2026-08-20T18:22:20Z

✅ Hold lifted — guard moved to the root in `e56b460`

The blocking defect from the previous comment is fixed, and the fix is smaller than what it replaces.

What changed

attributeVisitors is gone. Narrowing the visitor set was the wrong place: it only engaged for hosts that had translatable text of their own, so a self-closing host walked straight past it under the ambient componentVisitors.

The guard now sits where the wrong decision was actually made — the component check:

functionisInsidePropValue(path: NodePath): boolean{returnpath.findParent((parent)=>parent.isJSXAttribute())!==null;}

processComponentFunction returns early on it, deliberately withoutpath.skip(), so the callback's JSX stays reachable and is registered against the enclosing component whose t it closes over. injectHtmlLangAttribute gets the same test at its call site.

One helper, two call sites, and the duplicated visitor object that the previous round flagged as a major no longer exists.

It also fixes arrow render props

Not a bonus — a consequence. inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute, and the old code then called path.skip(), pruning the subtree outright. Those strings were never extracted at all:

<ListrenderItem={()=><span>No bookings yet</span>}/>

Returning without the skip makes them reachable. That case was listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it is now covered, and the changeset says so.

Shapes verified

Nine tests in the describe block, plus every shape the two previous rounds raised:

shape	result
self-closing host, named function prop	one hook, in `Page`, none in the callback
self-closing host, arrow render prop	string extracted, attributed to `Page`
expression-only children, named function prop	string extracted
whitespace-only children	string extracted
self-closing host, `<html>` in a prop	no `lang={locale}`
scoped host, all four original cases	unchanged
real document-root `<html>`	still gets `lang={locale}`
real nested components	still get their own hooks

Eight of the nine new tests fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main. The ninth — "should leave the document root <html> its locale attribute" — passes both ways by design: it is a regression guard for the new isInsidePropValue test, not a test of new behaviour. Saying otherwise would be dressing it up.

244 passed | 1 todo (245), tsc --noEmit clean.

End-to-end, raw console output

Same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped. The probe adds three strings: one in children, one in a JSX prop, one in an arrow render prop.

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- de: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 23 translatable entries
- de: 3/23 translations missing

21 → 23. Pre-fix the compiler sees only the child text; both prop strings are invisible to it. Demo reverted, no demo/ file in the branch.

Previous-round findings, resolved

Duplicated visitor objects — object deleted.
attributeVisitors naming collides with translateAttributes — moot.
useTranslation count proves quantity, not placement — the two scope-less tests now assert context.componentName === "Page" directly, so placement is pinned by an assertion rather than only by the paired snapshot.
My assertion-message quote characterised all six failures from one — noted; the table above lists shapes rather than reusing one message.

Still not covered

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop, where serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a separate recursive descent. Named in the changeset, tracked on ENG-1368.

Multi-agent review found a blocking defect — fixed in `a91db59`

⛔ Do not merge — a second review round found the fix incomplete

This PR is approved and mergeable, but a delta review of a91db593 turned up a blocking defect. Holding until it is fixed.

a91db593 narrowed the sub-traversal to attributeVisitors so a callback in a prop would stop being treated as a component. That narrowing is only reached when the host element has translatable content of its own. processJSXElement returns at if (!scope) return — with no path.skip() — for a self-closing host, an expression-only host, or a whitespace-only host, and Babel's ambient descent then continues under the full componentVisitors, straight into the attribute.

So the original defect still reproduces on the more common shape:

exportfunctionPage(){return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}/>;}

still compiles to a useTranslation call inside renderIt. Same for an <html> in a prop of a scope-less host — it still gets lang={locale}, contradicting the guarantee the new test claims to cover. Both new tests give their host sibling text, which is exactly the path where the narrowing does engage, so neither catches this.

Two reviewers reached this independently, each with a reproduction.

Where the real guard belongs

Not in the visitor set. inferComponentName accepts any named function regardless of where it sits, so the guard belongs in processComponentFunction: a function inside the value of a JSX attribute is never a component. Returning there withoutpath.skip() keeps its JSX reachable, so the string is still translated and attributed to the enclosing component, where t resolves through the closure. injectHtmlLangAttribute needs the same test at its call site.

That covers every shape rather than one, lets attributeVisitors be deleted along with the duplication it introduced, and incidentally fixes arrow render props — today renderItem={() => Hello} on a scope-less host emits zero entries, because inferComponentName returns null and the following path.skip() prunes the subtree outright. That case is currently listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it would stop needing to be.

Also worth fixing while here

transform.test.ts — result.code.match(/useTranslation/g)).toHaveLength(2) proves a global count, not placement. If a regression injected the hook into renderIt instead of Page, the count would still be 2 and the test would pass. Placement is only established by the paired snapshot. Assert placement directly.
not.toContain("lang={locale}") cannot see the enclosing component being spuriously marked as needing locale without the attribute ever being emitted.
attributeVisitors.JSXElement is componentVisitors.JSXElement minus one line, 165 lines apart, with nothing forcing them to stay in sync. Moot if the object goes away.
My earlier comment quoted one assertion message as characterising all six failures. It is exact for three of them; the other three fail with the same root cause and different literals.

Verified clean, for the record

Gates all pass — changeset well-formed, patch correct against this package's precedent (#2192, #2190 both patch for behaviour-changing fixes), package name right, no npm/yarn, no DDL. Suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean, snapshot diff additions-only, CI green against a91db593 itself. No prior art existed to reuse and there is no revert of this shape in the file's history.

✅ Hold lifted — guard moved to the root in `e56b460`

The blocking defect from the previous comment is fixed, and the fix is smaller than what it replaces.

What changed

attributeVisitors is gone. Narrowing the visitor set was the wrong place: it only engaged for hosts that had translatable text of their own, so a self-closing host walked straight past it under the ambient componentVisitors.

The guard now sits where the wrong decision was actually made — the component check:

functionisInsidePropValue(path: NodePath): boolean{returnpath.findParent((parent)=>parent.isJSXAttribute())!==null;}

processComponentFunction returns early on it, deliberately withoutpath.skip(), so the callback's JSX stays reachable and is registered against the enclosing component whose t it closes over. injectHtmlLangAttribute gets the same test at its call site.

One helper, two call sites, and the duplicated visitor object that the previous round flagged as a major no longer exists.

It also fixes arrow render props

Not a bonus — a consequence. inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute, and the old code then called path.skip(), pruning the subtree outright. Those strings were never extracted at all:

<ListrenderItem={()=><span>No bookings yet</span>}/>

Returning without the skip makes them reachable. That case was listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it is now covered, and the changeset says so.

Shapes verified

Nine tests in the describe block, plus every shape the two previous rounds raised:

shape	result
self-closing host, named function prop	one hook, in `Page`, none in the callback
self-closing host, arrow render prop	string extracted, attributed to `Page`
expression-only children, named function prop	string extracted
whitespace-only children	string extracted
self-closing host, `<html>` in a prop	no `lang={locale}`
scoped host, all four original cases	unchanged
real document-root `<html>`	still gets `lang={locale}`
real nested components	still get their own hooks

Eight of the nine new tests fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main. The ninth — "should leave the document root <html> its locale attribute" — passes both ways by design: it is a regression guard for the new isInsidePropValue test, not a test of new behaviour. Saying otherwise would be dressing it up.

244 passed | 1 todo (245), tsc --noEmit clean.

End-to-end, raw console output

Same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped. The probe adds three strings: one in children, one in a JSX prop, one in an arrow render prop.

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- de: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 23 translatable entries
- de: 3/23 translations missing

21 → 23. Pre-fix the compiler sees only the child text; both prop strings are invisible to it. Demo reverted, no demo/ file in the branch.

Previous-round findings, resolved

Duplicated visitor objects — object deleted.
attributeVisitors naming collides with translateAttributes — moot.
useTranslation count proves quantity, not placement — the two scope-less tests now assert context.componentName === "Page" directly, so placement is pinned by an assertion rather than only by the paired snapshot.
My assertion-message quote characterised all six failures from one — noted; the table above lists shapes rather than reusing one message.

Still not covered

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop, where serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a separate recursive descent. Named in the changeset, tracked on ENG-1368.

Closes ENG-1368.

Problem

processJSXElement ends with path.skip() (packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts), which prunes the entire subtree — openingElement included. JSX handed to a component through an attribute was therefore never visited:

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Text A</span>}>Text B</FrameHeader>

Before: ["Text B"] — Text A silently untranslated.
After: ["Text A", "Text B"].

The skip only fires when the element had translatable text children, which is why the bug looks intermittent: the same prop JSX extracts fine on an element whose children are not directly translatable.

Broader than the original report — translatable attributes inside prop JSX (alt on an <img>) were lost too, and rich-text hosts (Hello world) are affected.

Fix

The skip is load-bearing: in the mixed branch rewriteChildren moves children into arrow functions inside t(), so re-traversing would duplicate entries. Deleting it is not an option. Instead the opening element is traversed with the same visitors immediately before the skip, guarded on JSXElement because the function also serves JSXFragment (which has no attributes).

Plain attributes are unaffected — componentVisitors has no JSXAttribute visitor, so only nested JSX and functions inside attribute expressions get picked up.

Verification

239 passed | 1 todo (240) in packages/new-compiler, tsc --noEmit clean.
Zero changes to existing snapshots — the four new snapshots are the only additions.
The four new tests were confirmed to fail with the source change stashed and the tests in place (expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text A', 'Text B' ]), so they genuinely cover the regression. There was no test for JSX-in-props before.

Not covered

Left out deliberately, different root causes:

prop JSX inside rich/mixed content — serializeJSXChildren only calls translateAttributes on the moved element
arrow render props (renderCell={() => Cell}) — inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute

Note for the release

The changeset calls this out: strings that were silently untranslated become new translation entries, so translation volume can jump on the next build.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved translation extraction for JSX nested within component properties, including nested text, translatable attributes, deeply nested JSX, and rich-text elements.
- Added support for JSX in callback and arrow render props.
- Prevented duplicate translation entries while preserving deterministic ordering and existing mixed-content behavior.
- Avoided incorrect locale attributes and hook injection in JSX callback properties, including document-root elements.
Tests
- Added coverage for callback render props, extracted text and attributes, entry counts, ordering, and transformed output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now traverses JSX inside component attributes with component visitors. Prop-contained functions remain traversable, while nested components and <html> elements follow dedicated handling. Tests and a changeset document the behavior.

Changes

JSX prop translation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attribute JSX traversal and coverage `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts`, `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/transform.test.ts`	The transformer discovers JSX in attribute values, registers callback JSX with the enclosing component, and skips locale injection for nested `<html>` elements. Tests cover nested content, callback props, arrow render props, rich-text props, entry ordering, and document-root HTML behavior.
Supported JSX prop behavior documentation `.changeset/jsx-in-props-translated.md`	The changeset documents JSX translation through component attributes, callback registration, extracted translatable attributes, and the remaining rich-text limitation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 35a2a

The change translates JSX nested in component attributes, recovering previously missed translation entries. Compiler checks pass, but an unresolved locale-only rewrite path may report no transformation and interfere with downstream output handling, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Verified end to end in a real Vite build, not just at the unit level.

Put the reporter's exact shape into demo/new-compiler-vite-react-spa (a real app running the real lingoCompilerPlugin):

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Next settlement in 4 days</span>}>
Settlement overview
</FrameHeader>

Then ran vite build against the same tree with and without the source change:

without the fix: 📊 Found 21 translatable entries → de: 1/21 translations missing
with the fix: 📊 Found 22 translatable entries → de: 2/22 translations missing

Without it the compiler extracts only Settlement overview; the string inside the actions prop is invisible to it. With it both are extracted. That is the reported defect, reproduced and closed in an actual build pipeline.

The demo was reverted afterwards — this branch contains no demo changes.

Multi-agent review found a blocking defect — fixed in `a91db59`

Ten reviewers ran over this: five generic lenses (correctness, types, patterns, simplicity, performance) and five lingo-specific critics (release gates, evidence, prior art, domain boundaries, data/auth). The last two were collapsed — this diff has no API surface and no destructive path.

Blocking, now fixed

The sub-traversal ran the fullcomponentVisitors set. inferComponentName accepts any named function expression regardless of its parent, so a callback handed to a prop was treated as a component and given a useTranslation call it never runs as one:

<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}>Text B</FrameHeader>

produced, before the fix:

actions={functionrenderIt(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["1bca1cd97ffd"]);// rules-of-hooks violationreturn<span>{t("1bca1cd97ffd","Text A")}</span>;}}

Two reviewers reached this independently. Same root cause let injectHtmlLangAttribute fire on an <html> nested inside a prop, marking the enclosing component as needing locale.

The fix introduces attributeVisitors — a narrowed set carrying only JSXElement and JSXFragment, without the function visitors and without injectHtmlLangAttribute. Traversal still descends through a callback body and finds JSX there, so the string is still extracted; it is registered on the enclosing component and t resolves through the closure:

exportfunctionPage(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["479a5bef5d96","531408adb9a0"]);return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>{t("531408adb9a0","Text A")}</span>;}}>{t("479a5bef5d96","Text B")}</FrameHeader>;}

One hook, in the component, both hashes on it. Two regression tests pin this.

Also addressed

.sort() removed from three assertions — entry order is deterministic and worth pinning: an element's children are rewritten before its opening element is traversed, so host text precedes prop JSX and outer precedes inner (["Shallow", "Middle", "Deep"]).
toHaveLength added, per the pattern in TESTING.md.
The rich-text test now asserts the mixed content its name claims, not just toContain.
! replaced with the file's assert.isDefined idiom.
Changeset trimmed to what a consumer reading the changelog needs; the control-flow walkthrough lives here instead.

Evidence gap closed

One reviewer noted the end-to-end claim had no artifact behind it. Raw console output, same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped:

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- es: 1/21 translations missing
- de: 1/21 translations missing
- fr: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 22 translatable entries
- es: 2/22 translations missing
- de: 2/22 translations missing
- fr: 2/22 translations missing

All six tests confirmed to fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main: expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text B', 'Text A' ]. Full suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean.

Verified and refuted

No unwired prior art. The frozen packages/compiler's data-jsx-attribute-scope machinery only ever handled string-literal attributes, never a JSX element in a prop.
path.skip() protects exactly what the comment claims — rewriteChildren embeds rebuilt copies of nested rich-text elements into the t() call, and the new traverse targets a structural sibling of children, so it cannot re-enter them.
Single-visit invariant holds. Measured on a synthetic chain: depth 10→320 costs 1.87ms→19.96ms, sub-linear, indistinguishable from origin/main's 1.42ms→17.49ms. Quadratic would be ~1000×. path.get() is a WeakMap lookup, not a walk.

Instead the opening element is traversed with the same visitors immediately before the skip, guarded on JSXElement because the function also serves JSXFragment (which has no attributes).

Plain attributes are unaffected — componentVisitors has no JSXAttribute visitor, so only nested JSX and functions inside attribute expressions get picked up.

Verification

239 passed | 1 todo (240) in packages/new-compiler, tsc --noEmit clean.
Zero changes to existing snapshots — the four new snapshots are the only additions.
The four new tests were confirmed to fail with the source change stashed and the tests in place (expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text A', 'Text B' ]), so they genuinely cover the regression. There was no test for JSX-in-props before.

Not covered

Left out deliberately, different root causes:

prop JSX inside rich/mixed content — serializeJSXChildren only calls translateAttributes on the moved element
arrow render props (renderCell={() => Cell}) — inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute

Note for the release

The changeset calls this out: strings that were silently untranslated become new translation entries, so translation volume can jump on the next build.

The compiler now traverses JSX inside component attributes with component visitors. Prop-contained functions remain traversable, while nested components and <html> elements follow dedicated handling. Tests and a changeset document the behavior.

Changes

JSX prop translation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attribute JSX traversal and coverage `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts`, `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/transform.test.ts`	The transformer discovers JSX in attribute values, registers callback JSX with the enclosing component, and skips locale injection for nested `<html>` elements. Tests cover nested content, callback props, arrow render props, rich-text props, entry ordering, and document-root HTML behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 35a2a

The change translates JSX nested in component attributes, recovering previously missed translation entries. Compiler checks pass, but an unresolved locale-only rewrite path may report no transformation and interfere with downstream output handling, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Verified end to end in a real Vite build, not just at the unit level.

Put the reporter's exact shape into demo/new-compiler-vite-react-spa (a real app running the real lingoCompilerPlugin):

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Next settlement in 4 days</span>}>
Settlement overview
</FrameHeader>

Then ran vite build against the same tree with and without the source change:

without the fix: 📊 Found 21 translatable entries → de: 1/21 translations missing
with the fix: 📊 Found 22 translatable entries → de: 2/22 translations missing

Without it the compiler extracts only Settlement overview; the string inside the actions prop is invisible to it. With it both are extracted. That is the reported defect, reproduced and closed in an actual build pipeline.

The demo was reverted afterwards — this branch contains no demo changes.

Multi-agent review found a blocking defect — fixed in `a91db59`

Ten reviewers ran over this: five generic lenses (correctness, types, patterns, simplicity, performance) and five lingo-specific critics (release gates, evidence, prior art, domain boundaries, data/auth). The last two were collapsed — this diff has no API surface and no destructive path.

Blocking, now fixed

The sub-traversal ran the fullcomponentVisitors set. inferComponentName accepts any named function expression regardless of its parent, so a callback handed to a prop was treated as a component and given a useTranslation call it never runs as one:

<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}>Text B</FrameHeader>

produced, before the fix:

actions={functionrenderIt(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["1bca1cd97ffd"]);// rules-of-hooks violationreturn<span>{t("1bca1cd97ffd","Text A")}</span>;}}

Two reviewers reached this independently. Same root cause let injectHtmlLangAttribute fire on an <html> nested inside a prop, marking the enclosing component as needing locale.

The fix introduces attributeVisitors — a narrowed set carrying only JSXElement and JSXFragment, without the function visitors and without injectHtmlLangAttribute. Traversal still descends through a callback body and finds JSX there, so the string is still extracted; it is registered on the enclosing component and t resolves through the closure:

exportfunctionPage(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["479a5bef5d96","531408adb9a0"]);return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>{t("531408adb9a0","Text A")}</span>;}}>{t("479a5bef5d96","Text B")}</FrameHeader>;}

One hook, in the component, both hashes on it. Two regression tests pin this.

Also addressed

.sort() removed from three assertions — entry order is deterministic and worth pinning: an element's children are rewritten before its opening element is traversed, so host text precedes prop JSX and outer precedes inner (["Shallow", "Middle", "Deep"]).
toHaveLength added, per the pattern in TESTING.md.
The rich-text test now asserts the mixed content its name claims, not just toContain.
! replaced with the file's assert.isDefined idiom.
Changeset trimmed to what a consumer reading the changelog needs; the control-flow walkthrough lives here instead.

Evidence gap closed

One reviewer noted the end-to-end claim had no artifact behind it. Raw console output, same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped:

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- es: 1/21 translations missing
- de: 1/21 translations missing
- fr: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 22 translatable entries
- es: 2/22 translations missing
- de: 2/22 translations missing
- fr: 2/22 translations missing

All six tests confirmed to fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main: expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text B', 'Text A' ]. Full suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean.

Verified and refuted

No unwired prior art. The frozen packages/compiler's data-jsx-attribute-scope machinery only ever handled string-literal attributes, never a JSX element in a prop.
path.skip() protects exactly what the comment claims — rewriteChildren embeds rebuilt copies of nested rich-text elements into the t() call, and the new traverse targets a structural sibling of children, so it cannot re-enter them.
Single-visit invariant holds. Measured on a synthetic chain: depth 10→320 costs 1.87ms→19.96ms, sub-linear, indistinguishable from origin/main's 1.42ms→17.49ms. Quadratic would be ~1000×. path.get() is a WeakMap lookup, not a walk.
data-lingo-skip on a host dropping its prop JSX is not a defect — it is a consistent reading of "skip this subtree".
patch is the right bump. Precedent in this package: 0.4.11 (aiTimeout default) and 0.4.9 (cache-write behaviour) both shipped as patch; minors were reserved for API surface changes.
Prettier line length is not a gate here — .prettierrc exists but prettier is not installed, not scripted, not in CI, and not in a pre-commit hook.

Known residual, out of scope

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop is still missed, because serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a different recursive descent that never walks the child's opening element:

<div>Hello <strongextra={<em>note</em>}>world</strong></div>// "note" not extracted

⛔ Do not merge — a second review round found the fix incomplete

This PR is approved and mergeable, but a delta review of a91db593 turned up a blocking defect. Holding until it is fixed.

a91db593 narrowed the sub-traversal to attributeVisitors so a callback in a prop would stop being treated as a component. That narrowing is only reached when the host element has translatable content of its own. processJSXElement returns at if (!scope) return — with no path.skip() — for a self-closing host, an expression-only host, or a whitespace-only host, and Babel's ambient descent then continues under the full componentVisitors, straight into the attribute.

So the original defect still reproduces on the more common shape:

exportfunctionPage(){return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}/>;}

still compiles to a useTranslation call inside renderIt. Same for an <html> in a prop of a scope-less host — it still gets lang={locale}, contradicting the guarantee the new test claims to cover. Both new tests give their host sibling text, which is exactly the path where the narrowing does engage, so neither catches this.

Two reviewers reached this independently, each with a reproduction.

Where the real guard belongs

Not in the visitor set. inferComponentName accepts any named function regardless of where it sits, so the guard belongs in processComponentFunction: a function inside the value of a JSX attribute is never a component. Returning there withoutpath.skip() keeps its JSX reachable, so the string is still translated and attributed to the enclosing component, where t resolves through the closure. injectHtmlLangAttribute needs the same test at its call site.

That covers every shape rather than one, lets attributeVisitors be deleted along with the duplication it introduced, and incidentally fixes arrow render props — today renderItem={() => Hello} on a scope-less host emits zero entries, because inferComponentName returns null and the following path.skip() prunes the subtree outright. That case is currently listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it would stop needing to be.

Also worth fixing while here

transform.test.ts — result.code.match(/useTranslation/g)).toHaveLength(2) proves a global count, not placement. If a regression injected the hook into renderIt instead of Page, the count would still be 2 and the test would pass. Placement is only established by the paired snapshot. Assert placement directly.
not.toContain("lang={locale}") cannot see the enclosing component being spuriously marked as needing locale without the attribute ever being emitted.
attributeVisitors.JSXElement is componentVisitors.JSXElement minus one line, 165 lines apart, with nothing forcing them to stay in sync. Moot if the object goes away.
My earlier comment quoted one assertion message as characterising all six failures. It is exact for three of them; the other three fail with the same root cause and different literals.

Verified clean, for the record

Gates all pass — changeset well-formed, patch correct against this package's precedent (#2192, #2190 both patch for behaviour-changing fixes), package name right, no npm/yarn, no DDL. Suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean, snapshot diff additions-only, CI green against a91db593 itself. No prior art existed to reuse and there is no revert of this shape in the file's history.

…isitor set

cherkanovart · 2026-08-20T18:22:20Z

✅ Hold lifted — guard moved to the root in `e56b460`

The blocking defect from the previous comment is fixed, and the fix is smaller than what it replaces.

What changed

attributeVisitors is gone. Narrowing the visitor set was the wrong place: it only engaged for hosts that had translatable text of their own, so a self-closing host walked straight past it under the ambient componentVisitors.

The guard now sits where the wrong decision was actually made — the component check:

functionisInsidePropValue(path: NodePath): boolean{returnpath.findParent((parent)=>parent.isJSXAttribute())!==null;}

processComponentFunction returns early on it, deliberately withoutpath.skip(), so the callback's JSX stays reachable and is registered against the enclosing component whose t it closes over. injectHtmlLangAttribute gets the same test at its call site.

One helper, two call sites, and the duplicated visitor object that the previous round flagged as a major no longer exists.

It also fixes arrow render props

Not a bonus — a consequence. inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute, and the old code then called path.skip(), pruning the subtree outright. Those strings were never extracted at all:

<ListrenderItem={()=><span>No bookings yet</span>}/>

Returning without the skip makes them reachable. That case was listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it is now covered, and the changeset says so.

Shapes verified

Nine tests in the describe block, plus every shape the two previous rounds raised:

shape	result
self-closing host, named function prop	one hook, in `Page`, none in the callback
self-closing host, arrow render prop	string extracted, attributed to `Page`
expression-only children, named function prop	string extracted
whitespace-only children	string extracted
self-closing host, `<html>` in a prop	no `lang={locale}`
scoped host, all four original cases	unchanged
real document-root `<html>`	still gets `lang={locale}`
real nested components	still get their own hooks

Eight of the nine new tests fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main. The ninth — "should leave the document root <html> its locale attribute" — passes both ways by design: it is a regression guard for the new isInsidePropValue test, not a test of new behaviour. Saying otherwise would be dressing it up.

244 passed | 1 todo (245), tsc --noEmit clean.

End-to-end, raw console output

Same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped. The probe adds three strings: one in children, one in a JSX prop, one in an arrow render prop.

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- de: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 23 translatable entries
- de: 3/23 translations missing

21 → 23. Pre-fix the compiler sees only the child text; both prop strings are invisible to it. Demo reverted, no demo/ file in the branch.

Previous-round findings, resolved

Duplicated visitor objects — object deleted.
attributeVisitors naming collides with translateAttributes — moot.
useTranslation count proves quantity, not placement — the two scope-less tests now assert context.componentName === "Page" directly, so placement is pinned by an assertion rather than only by the paired snapshot.
My assertion-message quote characterised all six failures from one — noted; the table above lists shapes rather than reusing one message.

Still not covered

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop, where serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a separate recursive descent. Named in the changeset, tracked on ENG-1368.

Closes ENG-1368.

Problem

processJSXElement ends with path.skip() (packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts), which prunes the entire subtree — openingElement included. JSX handed to a component through an attribute was therefore never visited:

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Text A</span>}>Text B</FrameHeader>

Before: ["Text B"] — Text A silently untranslated.
After: ["Text A", "Text B"].

The skip only fires when the element had translatable text children, which is why the bug looks intermittent: the same prop JSX extracts fine on an element whose children are not directly translatable.

Broader than the original report — translatable attributes inside prop JSX (alt on an <img>) were lost too, and rich-text hosts (Hello world) are affected.

Fix

The skip is load-bearing: in the mixed branch rewriteChildren moves children into arrow functions inside t(), so re-traversing would duplicate entries. Deleting it is not an option. Instead the opening element is traversed with the same visitors immediately before the skip, guarded on JSXElement because the function also serves JSXFragment (which has no attributes).

Plain attributes are unaffected — componentVisitors has no JSXAttribute visitor, so only nested JSX and functions inside attribute expressions get picked up.

Verification

239 passed | 1 todo (240) in packages/new-compiler, tsc --noEmit clean.
Zero changes to existing snapshots — the four new snapshots are the only additions.
The four new tests were confirmed to fail with the source change stashed and the tests in place (expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text A', 'Text B' ]), so they genuinely cover the regression. There was no test for JSX-in-props before.

a91db593 narrowed the sub-traversal to attributeVisitors so a callback in a prop would stop being treated as a component. That narrowing is only reached when the host element has translatable content of its own. processJSXElement returns at if (!scope) return — with no path.skip() — for a self-closing host, an expression-only host, or a whitespace-only host, and Babel's ambient descent then continues under the full componentVisitors, straight into the attribute.

So the original defect still reproduces on the more common shape:

exportfunctionPage(){return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}/>;}

still compiles to a useTranslation call inside renderIt. Same for an <html> in a prop of a scope-less host — it still gets lang={locale}, contradicting the guarantee the new test claims to cover. Both new tests give their host sibling text, which is exactly the path where the narrowing does engage, so neither catches this.

Two reviewers reached this independently, each with a reproduction.

Where the real guard belongs

Not in the visitor set. inferComponentName accepts any named function regardless of where it sits, so the guard belongs in processComponentFunction: a function inside the value of a JSX attribute is never a component. Returning there withoutpath.skip() keeps its JSX reachable, so the string is still translated and attributed to the enclosing component, where t resolves through the closure. injectHtmlLangAttribute needs the same test at its call site.

That covers every shape rather than one, lets attributeVisitors be deleted along with the duplication it introduced, and incidentally fixes arrow render props — today renderItem={() => Hello} on a scope-less host emits zero entries, because inferComponentName returns null and the following path.skip() prunes the subtree outright. That case is currently listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it would stop needing to be.

Also worth fixing while here

transform.test.ts — result.code.match(/useTranslation/g)).toHaveLength(2) proves a global count, not placement. If a regression injected the hook into renderIt instead of Page, the count would still be 2 and the test would pass. Placement is only established by the paired snapshot. Assert placement directly.
not.toContain("lang={locale}") cannot see the enclosing component being spuriously marked as needing locale without the attribute ever being emitted.
attributeVisitors.JSXElement is componentVisitors.JSXElement minus one line, 165 lines apart, with nothing forcing them to stay in sync. Moot if the object goes away.
My earlier comment quoted one assertion message as characterising all six failures. It is exact for three of them; the other three fail with the same root cause and different literals.

Verified clean, for the record

Gates all pass — changeset well-formed, patch correct against this package's precedent (#2192, #2190 both patch for behaviour-changing fixes), package name right, no npm/yarn, no DDL. Suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean, snapshot diff additions-only, CI green against a91db593 itself. No prior art existed to reuse and there is no revert of this shape in the file's history.

✅ Hold lifted — guard moved to the root in `e56b460`

The blocking defect from the previous comment is fixed, and the fix is smaller than what it replaces.

What changed

attributeVisitors is gone. Narrowing the visitor set was the wrong place: it only engaged for hosts that had translatable text of their own, so a self-closing host walked straight past it under the ambient componentVisitors.

The guard now sits where the wrong decision was actually made — the component check:

functionisInsidePropValue(path: NodePath): boolean{returnpath.findParent((parent)=>parent.isJSXAttribute())!==null;}

processComponentFunction returns early on it, deliberately withoutpath.skip(), so the callback's JSX stays reachable and is registered against the enclosing component whose t it closes over. injectHtmlLangAttribute gets the same test at its call site.

One helper, two call sites, and the duplicated visitor object that the previous round flagged as a major no longer exists.

It also fixes arrow render props

Not a bonus — a consequence. inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute, and the old code then called path.skip(), pruning the subtree outright. Those strings were never extracted at all:

<ListrenderItem={()=><span>No bookings yet</span>}/>

Returning without the skip makes them reachable. That case was listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it is now covered, and the changeset says so.

Shapes verified

Nine tests in the describe block, plus every shape the two previous rounds raised:

shape	result
self-closing host, named function prop	one hook, in `Page`, none in the callback
self-closing host, arrow render prop	string extracted, attributed to `Page`
expression-only children, named function prop	string extracted
whitespace-only children	string extracted
self-closing host, `<html>` in a prop	no `lang={locale}`
scoped host, all four original cases	unchanged
real document-root `<html>`	still gets `lang={locale}`
real nested components	still get their own hooks

Eight of the nine new tests fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main. The ninth — "should leave the document root <html> its locale attribute" — passes both ways by design: it is a regression guard for the new isInsidePropValue test, not a test of new behaviour. Saying otherwise would be dressing it up.

244 passed | 1 todo (245), tsc --noEmit clean.

End-to-end, raw console output

Same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped. The probe adds three strings: one in children, one in a JSX prop, one in an arrow render prop.

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- de: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 23 translatable entries
- de: 3/23 translations missing

21 → 23. Pre-fix the compiler sees only the child text; both prop strings are invisible to it. Demo reverted, no demo/ file in the branch.

Previous-round findings, resolved

Duplicated visitor objects — object deleted.
attributeVisitors naming collides with translateAttributes — moot.
useTranslation count proves quantity, not placement — the two scope-less tests now assert context.componentName === "Page" directly, so placement is pinned by an assertion rather than only by the paired snapshot.
My assertion-message quote characterised all six failures from one — noted; the table above lists shapes rather than reusing one message.

Still not covered

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop, where serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a separate recursive descent. Named in the changeset, tracked on ENG-1368.

Closes ENG-1368.

Problem

processJSXElement ends with path.skip() (packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts), which prunes the entire subtree — openingElement included. JSX handed to a component through an attribute was therefore never visited:

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Text A</span>}>Text B</FrameHeader>

Before: ["Text B"] — Text A silently untranslated.
After: ["Text A", "Text B"].

The skip only fires when the element had translatable text children, which is why the bug looks intermittent: the same prop JSX extracts fine on an element whose children are not directly translatable.

Broader than the original report — translatable attributes inside prop JSX (alt on an <img>) were lost too, and rich-text hosts (Hello world) are affected.

Fix

The skip is load-bearing: in the mixed branch rewriteChildren moves children into arrow functions inside t(), so re-traversing would duplicate entries. Deleting it is not an option. Instead the opening element is traversed with the same visitors immediately before the skip, guarded on JSXElement because the function also serves JSXFragment (which has no attributes).

Plain attributes are unaffected — componentVisitors has no JSXAttribute visitor, so only nested JSX and functions inside attribute expressions get picked up.

Verification

239 passed | 1 todo (240) in packages/new-compiler, tsc --noEmit clean.
Zero changes to existing snapshots — the four new snapshots are the only additions.
The four new tests were confirmed to fail with the source change stashed and the tests in place (expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text A', 'Text B' ]), so they genuinely cover the regression. There was no test for JSX-in-props before.

Not covered

Left out deliberately, different root causes:

prop JSX inside rich/mixed content — serializeJSXChildren only calls translateAttributes on the moved element
arrow render props (renderCell={() => Cell}) — inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute

Note for the release

The changeset calls this out: strings that were silently untranslated become new translation entries, so translation volume can jump on the next build.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved translation extraction for JSX nested within component properties, including nested text, translatable attributes, deeply nested JSX, and rich-text elements.
- Added support for JSX in callback and arrow render props.
- Prevented duplicate translation entries while preserving deterministic ordering and existing mixed-content behavior.
- Avoided incorrect locale attributes and hook injection in JSX callback properties, including document-root elements.
Tests
- Added coverage for callback render props, extracted text and attributes, entry counts, ordering, and transformed output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now traverses JSX inside component attributes with component visitors. Prop-contained functions remain traversable, while nested components and <html> elements follow dedicated handling. Tests and a changeset document the behavior.

Changes

JSX prop translation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attribute JSX traversal and coverage `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts`, `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/transform.test.ts`	The transformer discovers JSX in attribute values, registers callback JSX with the enclosing component, and skips locale injection for nested `<html>` elements. Tests cover nested content, callback props, arrow render props, rich-text props, entry ordering, and document-root HTML behavior.
Supported JSX prop behavior documentation `.changeset/jsx-in-props-translated.md`	The changeset documents JSX translation through component attributes, callback registration, extracted translatable attributes, and the remaining rich-text limitation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 35a2a

The change translates JSX nested in component attributes, recovering previously missed translation entries. Compiler checks pass, but an unresolved locale-only rewrite path may report no transformation and interfere with downstream output handling, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Verified end to end in a real Vite build, not just at the unit level.

Put the reporter's exact shape into demo/new-compiler-vite-react-spa (a real app running the real lingoCompilerPlugin):

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Next settlement in 4 days</span>}>
Settlement overview
</FrameHeader>

Then ran vite build against the same tree with and without the source change:

without the fix: 📊 Found 21 translatable entries → de: 1/21 translations missing
with the fix: 📊 Found 22 translatable entries → de: 2/22 translations missing

Without it the compiler extracts only Settlement overview; the string inside the actions prop is invisible to it. With it both are extracted. That is the reported defect, reproduced and closed in an actual build pipeline.

The demo was reverted afterwards — this branch contains no demo changes.

Multi-agent review found a blocking defect — fixed in `a91db59`

Ten reviewers ran over this: five generic lenses (correctness, types, patterns, simplicity, performance) and five lingo-specific critics (release gates, evidence, prior art, domain boundaries, data/auth). The last two were collapsed — this diff has no API surface and no destructive path.

Blocking, now fixed

The sub-traversal ran the fullcomponentVisitors set. inferComponentName accepts any named function expression regardless of its parent, so a callback handed to a prop was treated as a component and given a useTranslation call it never runs as one:

<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}>Text B</FrameHeader>

produced, before the fix:

actions={functionrenderIt(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["1bca1cd97ffd"]);// rules-of-hooks violationreturn<span>{t("1bca1cd97ffd","Text A")}</span>;}}

Two reviewers reached this independently. Same root cause let injectHtmlLangAttribute fire on an <html> nested inside a prop, marking the enclosing component as needing locale.

The fix introduces attributeVisitors — a narrowed set carrying only JSXElement and JSXFragment, without the function visitors and without injectHtmlLangAttribute. Traversal still descends through a callback body and finds JSX there, so the string is still extracted; it is registered on the enclosing component and t resolves through the closure:

exportfunctionPage(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["479a5bef5d96","531408adb9a0"]);return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>{t("531408adb9a0","Text A")}</span>;}}>{t("479a5bef5d96","Text B")}</FrameHeader>;}

One hook, in the component, both hashes on it. Two regression tests pin this.

Also addressed

.sort() removed from three assertions — entry order is deterministic and worth pinning: an element's children are rewritten before its opening element is traversed, so host text precedes prop JSX and outer precedes inner (["Shallow", "Middle", "Deep"]).
toHaveLength added, per the pattern in TESTING.md.
The rich-text test now asserts the mixed content its name claims, not just toContain.
! replaced with the file's assert.isDefined idiom.
Changeset trimmed to what a consumer reading the changelog needs; the control-flow walkthrough lives here instead.

Evidence gap closed

One reviewer noted the end-to-end claim had no artifact behind it. Raw console output, same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped:

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- es: 1/21 translations missing
- de: 1/21 translations missing
- fr: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 22 translatable entries
- es: 2/22 translations missing
- de: 2/22 translations missing
- fr: 2/22 translations missing

All six tests confirmed to fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main: expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text B', 'Text A' ]. Full suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean.

Verified and refuted

No unwired prior art. The frozen packages/compiler's data-jsx-attribute-scope machinery only ever handled string-literal attributes, never a JSX element in a prop.
path.skip() protects exactly what the comment claims — rewriteChildren embeds rebuilt copies of nested rich-text elements into the t() call, and the new traverse targets a structural sibling of children, so it cannot re-enter them.
Single-visit invariant holds. Measured on a synthetic chain: depth 10→320 costs 1.87ms→19.96ms, sub-linear, indistinguishable from origin/main's 1.42ms→17.49ms. Quadratic would be ~1000×. path.get() is a WeakMap lookup, not a walk.
data-lingo-skip on a host dropping its prop JSX is not a defect — it is a consistent reading of "skip this subtree".
patch is the right bump. Precedent in this package: 0.4.11 (aiTimeout default) and 0.4.9 (cache-write behaviour) both shipped as patch; minors were reserved for API surface changes.
Prettier line length is not a gate here — .prettierrc exists but prettier is not installed, not scripted, not in CI, and not in a pre-commit hook.

Known residual, out of scope

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop is still missed, because serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a different recursive descent that never walks the child's opening element:

<div>Hello <strongextra={<em>note</em>}>world</strong></div>// "note" not extracted

Named in the changeset, tracked on ENG-1368. No test added — asserting the current output would pin behaviour we intend to change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now traverses JSX inside component attributes with component visitors. Prop-contained functions remain traversable, while nested components and <html> elements follow dedicated handling. Tests and a changeset document the behavior.

Changes

JSX prop translation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Attribute JSX traversal and coverage `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts`, `packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/transform.test.ts`	The transformer discovers JSX in attribute values, registers callback JSX with the enclosing component, and skips locale injection for nested `<html>` elements. Tests cover nested content, callback props, arrow render props, rich-text props, entry ordering, and document-root HTML behavior.
Supported JSX prop behavior documentation `.changeset/jsx-in-props-translated.md`	The changeset documents JSX translation through component attributes, callback registration, extracted translatable attributes, and the remaining rich-text limitation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 35a2a

The change translates JSX nested in component attributes, recovering previously missed translation entries. Compiler checks pass, but an unresolved locale-only rewrite path may report no transformation and interfere with downstream output handling, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Verified end to end in a real Vite build, not just at the unit level.

Put the reporter's exact shape into demo/new-compiler-vite-react-spa (a real app running the real lingoCompilerPlugin):

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Next settlement in 4 days</span>}>
Settlement overview
</FrameHeader>

Then ran vite build against the same tree with and without the source change:

without the fix: 📊 Found 21 translatable entries → de: 1/21 translations missing
with the fix: 📊 Found 22 translatable entries → de: 2/22 translations missing

Without it the compiler extracts only Settlement overview; the string inside the actions prop is invisible to it. With it both are extracted. That is the reported defect, reproduced and closed in an actual build pipeline.

The demo was reverted afterwards — this branch contains no demo changes.

Multi-agent review found a blocking defect — fixed in `a91db59`

Ten reviewers ran over this: five generic lenses (correctness, types, patterns, simplicity, performance) and five lingo-specific critics (release gates, evidence, prior art, domain boundaries, data/auth). The last two were collapsed — this diff has no API surface and no destructive path.

Blocking, now fixed

The sub-traversal ran the fullcomponentVisitors set. inferComponentName accepts any named function expression regardless of its parent, so a callback handed to a prop was treated as a component and given a useTranslation call it never runs as one:

<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}>Text B</FrameHeader>

produced, before the fix:

actions={functionrenderIt(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["1bca1cd97ffd"]);// rules-of-hooks violationreturn<span>{t("1bca1cd97ffd","Text A")}</span>;}}

Two reviewers reached this independently. Same root cause let injectHtmlLangAttribute fire on an <html> nested inside a prop, marking the enclosing component as needing locale.

The fix introduces attributeVisitors — a narrowed set carrying only JSXElement and JSXFragment, without the function visitors and without injectHtmlLangAttribute. Traversal still descends through a callback body and finds JSX there, so the string is still extracted; it is registered on the enclosing component and t resolves through the closure:

exportfunctionPage(){const{ t }=useTranslation(["479a5bef5d96","531408adb9a0"]);return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>{t("531408adb9a0","Text A")}</span>;}}>{t("479a5bef5d96","Text B")}</FrameHeader>;}

One hook, in the component, both hashes on it. Two regression tests pin this.

Also addressed

.sort() removed from three assertions — entry order is deterministic and worth pinning: an element's children are rewritten before its opening element is traversed, so host text precedes prop JSX and outer precedes inner (["Shallow", "Middle", "Deep"]).
toHaveLength added, per the pattern in TESTING.md.
The rich-text test now asserts the mixed content its name claims, not just toContain.
! replaced with the file's assert.isDefined idiom.
Changeset trimmed to what a consumer reading the changelog needs; the control-flow walkthrough lives here instead.

Evidence gap closed

One reviewer noted the end-to-end claim had no artifact behind it. Raw console output, same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped:

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- es: 1/21 translations missing
- de: 1/21 translations missing
- fr: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 22 translatable entries
- es: 2/22 translations missing
- de: 2/22 translations missing
- fr: 2/22 translations missing

All six tests confirmed to fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main: expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text B', 'Text A' ]. Full suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean.

Verified and refuted

No unwired prior art. The frozen packages/compiler's data-jsx-attribute-scope machinery only ever handled string-literal attributes, never a JSX element in a prop.
path.skip() protects exactly what the comment claims — rewriteChildren embeds rebuilt copies of nested rich-text elements into the t() call, and the new traverse targets a structural sibling of children, so it cannot re-enter them.
Single-visit invariant holds. Measured on a synthetic chain: depth 10→320 costs 1.87ms→19.96ms, sub-linear, indistinguishable from origin/main's 1.42ms→17.49ms. Quadratic would be ~1000×. path.get() is a WeakMap lookup, not a walk.
data-lingo-skip on a host dropping its prop JSX is not a defect — it is a consistent reading of "skip this subtree".
patch is the right bump. Precedent in this package: 0.4.11 (aiTimeout default) and 0.4.9 (cache-write behaviour) both shipped as patch; minors were reserved for API surface changes.
Prettier line length is not a gate here — .prettierrc exists but prettier is not installed, not scripted, not in CI, and not in a pre-commit hook.

Known residual, out of scope

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop is still missed, because serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a different recursive descent that never walks the child's opening element:

<div>Hello <strongextra={<em>note</em>}>world</strong></div>// "note" not extracted

⛔ Do not merge — a second review round found the fix incomplete

This PR is approved and mergeable, but a delta review of a91db593 turned up a blocking defect. Holding until it is fixed.

a91db593 narrowed the sub-traversal to attributeVisitors so a callback in a prop would stop being treated as a component. That narrowing is only reached when the host element has translatable content of its own. processJSXElement returns at if (!scope) return — with no path.skip() — for a self-closing host, an expression-only host, or a whitespace-only host, and Babel's ambient descent then continues under the full componentVisitors, straight into the attribute.

So the original defect still reproduces on the more common shape:

exportfunctionPage(){return<FrameHeaderactions={functionrenderIt(){return<span>Text A</span>;}}/>;}

still compiles to a useTranslation call inside renderIt. Same for an <html> in a prop of a scope-less host — it still gets lang={locale}, contradicting the guarantee the new test claims to cover. Both new tests give their host sibling text, which is exactly the path where the narrowing does engage, so neither catches this.

Two reviewers reached this independently, each with a reproduction.

Where the real guard belongs

Not in the visitor set. inferComponentName accepts any named function regardless of where it sits, so the guard belongs in processComponentFunction: a function inside the value of a JSX attribute is never a component. Returning there withoutpath.skip() keeps its JSX reachable, so the string is still translated and attributed to the enclosing component, where t resolves through the closure. injectHtmlLangAttribute needs the same test at its call site.

That covers every shape rather than one, lets attributeVisitors be deleted along with the duplication it introduced, and incidentally fixes arrow render props — today renderItem={() => Hello} on a scope-less host emits zero entries, because inferComponentName returns null and the following path.skip() prunes the subtree outright. That case is currently listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it would stop needing to be.

Also worth fixing while here

transform.test.ts — result.code.match(/useTranslation/g)).toHaveLength(2) proves a global count, not placement. If a regression injected the hook into renderIt instead of Page, the count would still be 2 and the test would pass. Placement is only established by the paired snapshot. Assert placement directly.
not.toContain("lang={locale}") cannot see the enclosing component being spuriously marked as needing locale without the attribute ever being emitted.
attributeVisitors.JSXElement is componentVisitors.JSXElement minus one line, 165 lines apart, with nothing forcing them to stay in sync. Moot if the object goes away.
My earlier comment quoted one assertion message as characterising all six failures. It is exact for three of them; the other three fail with the same root cause and different literals.

Verified clean, for the record

Gates all pass — changeset well-formed, patch correct against this package's precedent (#2192, #2190 both patch for behaviour-changing fixes), package name right, no npm/yarn, no DDL. Suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean, snapshot diff additions-only, CI green against a91db593 itself. No prior art existed to reuse and there is no revert of this shape in the file's history.

cherkanovart · 2026-08-20T18:22:20Z

✅ Hold lifted — guard moved to the root in `e56b460`

The blocking defect from the previous comment is fixed, and the fix is smaller than what it replaces.

What changed

attributeVisitors is gone. Narrowing the visitor set was the wrong place: it only engaged for hosts that had translatable text of their own, so a self-closing host walked straight past it under the ambient componentVisitors.

The guard now sits where the wrong decision was actually made — the component check:

functionisInsidePropValue(path: NodePath): boolean{returnpath.findParent((parent)=>parent.isJSXAttribute())!==null;}

processComponentFunction returns early on it, deliberately withoutpath.skip(), so the callback's JSX stays reachable and is registered against the enclosing component whose t it closes over. injectHtmlLangAttribute gets the same test at its call site.

One helper, two call sites, and the duplicated visitor object that the previous round flagged as a major no longer exists.

It also fixes arrow render props

Not a bonus — a consequence. inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute, and the old code then called path.skip(), pruning the subtree outright. Those strings were never extracted at all:

<ListrenderItem={()=><span>No bookings yet</span>}/>

Returning without the skip makes them reachable. That case was listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it is now covered, and the changeset says so.

Shapes verified

Nine tests in the describe block, plus every shape the two previous rounds raised:

shape	result
self-closing host, named function prop	one hook, in `Page`, none in the callback
self-closing host, arrow render prop	string extracted, attributed to `Page`
expression-only children, named function prop	string extracted
whitespace-only children	string extracted
self-closing host, `<html>` in a prop	no `lang={locale}`
scoped host, all four original cases	unchanged
real document-root `<html>`	still gets `lang={locale}`
real nested components	still get their own hooks

Eight of the nine new tests fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main. The ninth — "should leave the document root <html> its locale attribute" — passes both ways by design: it is a regression guard for the new isInsidePropValue test, not a test of new behaviour. Saying otherwise would be dressing it up.

244 passed | 1 todo (245), tsc --noEmit clean.

End-to-end, raw console output

Same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped. The probe adds three strings: one in children, one in a JSX prop, one in an arrow render prop.

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- de: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 23 translatable entries
- de: 3/23 translations missing

21 → 23. Pre-fix the compiler sees only the child text; both prop strings are invisible to it. Demo reverted, no demo/ file in the branch.

Previous-round findings, resolved

Duplicated visitor objects — object deleted.
attributeVisitors naming collides with translateAttributes — moot.
useTranslation count proves quantity, not placement — the two scope-less tests now assert context.componentName === "Page" directly, so placement is pinned by an assertion rather than only by the paired snapshot.
My assertion-message quote characterised all six failures from one — noted; the table above lists shapes rather than reusing one message.

Still not covered

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop, where serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a separate recursive descent. Named in the changeset, tracked on ENG-1368.

Closes ENG-1368.

Problem

processJSXElement ends with path.skip() (packages/new-compiler/src/plugin/transform/process-file.ts), which prunes the entire subtree — openingElement included. JSX handed to a component through an attribute was therefore never visited:

<FrameHeaderactions={<span>Text A</span>}>Text B</FrameHeader>

Before: ["Text B"] — Text A silently untranslated.
After: ["Text A", "Text B"].

The skip only fires when the element had translatable text children, which is why the bug looks intermittent: the same prop JSX extracts fine on an element whose children are not directly translatable.

Broader than the original report — translatable attributes inside prop JSX (alt on an <img>) were lost too, and rich-text hosts (Hello world) are affected.

Fix

The skip is load-bearing: in the mixed branch rewriteChildren moves children into arrow functions inside t(), so re-traversing would duplicate entries. Deleting it is not an option. Instead the opening element is traversed with the same visitors immediately before the skip, guarded on JSXElement because the function also serves JSXFragment (which has no attributes).

Plain attributes are unaffected — componentVisitors has no JSXAttribute visitor, so only nested JSX and functions inside attribute expressions get picked up.

Verification

239 passed | 1 todo (240) in packages/new-compiler, tsc --noEmit clean.
Zero changes to existing snapshots — the four new snapshots are the only additions.
The four new tests were confirmed to fail with the source change stashed and the tests in place (expected [ 'Text B' ] to deeply equal [ 'Text A', 'Text B' ]), so they genuinely cover the regression. There was no test for JSX-in-props before.

Not covered

Left out deliberately, different root causes:

prop JSX inside rich/mixed content — serializeJSXChildren only calls translateAttributes on the moved element
arrow render props (renderCell={() => Cell}) — inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute

Note for the release

The changeset calls this out: strings that were silently untranslated become new translation entries, so translation volume can jump on the next build.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved translation extraction for JSX nested within component properties, including nested text, translatable attributes, deeply nested JSX, and rich-text elements.

- Avoided incorrect locale attributes and hook injection in JSX callback properties, including document-root elements.
Tests
- Added coverage for callback render props, extracted text and attributes, entry counts, ordering, and transformed output.

Multi-agent review found a blocking defect — fixed in `a91db59`

That covers every shape rather than one, lets attributeVisitors be deleted along with the duplication it introduced, and incidentally fixes arrow render props — today renderItem={() => Hello} on a scope-less host emits zero entries, because inferComponentName returns null and the following path.skip() prunes the subtree outright. That case is currently listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it would stop needing to be.

Also worth fixing while here

transform.test.ts — result.code.match(/useTranslation/g)).toHaveLength(2) proves a global count, not placement. If a regression injected the hook into renderIt instead of Page, the count would still be 2 and the test would pass. Placement is only established by the paired snapshot. Assert placement directly.
not.toContain("lang={locale}") cannot see the enclosing component being spuriously marked as needing locale without the attribute ever being emitted.
attributeVisitors.JSXElement is componentVisitors.JSXElement minus one line, 165 lines apart, with nothing forcing them to stay in sync. Moot if the object goes away.
My earlier comment quoted one assertion message as characterising all six failures. It is exact for three of them; the other three fail with the same root cause and different literals.

Verified clean, for the record

Gates all pass — changeset well-formed, patch correct against this package's precedent (#2192, #2190 both patch for behaviour-changing fixes), package name right, no npm/yarn, no DDL. Suite 241 passed | 1 todo (242), tsc --noEmit clean, snapshot diff additions-only, CI green against a91db593 itself. No prior art existed to reuse and there is no revert of this shape in the file's history.

…isitor set

✅ Hold lifted — guard moved to the root in `e56b460`

The blocking defect from the previous comment is fixed, and the fix is smaller than what it replaces.

What changed

attributeVisitors is gone. Narrowing the visitor set was the wrong place: it only engaged for hosts that had translatable text of their own, so a self-closing host walked straight past it under the ambient componentVisitors.

The guard now sits where the wrong decision was actually made — the component check:

functionisInsidePropValue(path: NodePath): boolean{returnpath.findParent((parent)=>parent.isJSXAttribute())!==null;}

processComponentFunction returns early on it, deliberately withoutpath.skip(), so the callback's JSX stays reachable and is registered against the enclosing component whose t it closes over. injectHtmlLangAttribute gets the same test at its call site.

One helper, two call sites, and the duplicated visitor object that the previous round flagged as a major no longer exists.

It also fixes arrow render props

Not a bonus — a consequence. inferComponentName returns null for an arrow whose parent is a JSXAttribute, and the old code then called path.skip(), pruning the subtree outright. Those strings were never extracted at all:

<ListrenderItem={()=><span>No bookings yet</span>}/>

Returning without the skip makes them reachable. That case was listed as "not covered" in the changeset; it is now covered, and the changeset says so.

Shapes verified

Nine tests in the describe block, plus every shape the two previous rounds raised:

shape	result
self-closing host, named function prop	one hook, in `Page`, none in the callback
self-closing host, arrow render prop	string extracted, attributed to `Page`
expression-only children, named function prop	string extracted
whitespace-only children	string extracted
self-closing host, `<html>` in a prop	no `lang={locale}`
scoped host, all four original cases	unchanged
real document-root `<html>`	still gets `lang={locale}`
real nested components	still get their own hooks

Eight of the nine new tests fail with process-file.ts restored from origin/main. The ninth — "should leave the document root <html> its locale attribute" — passes both ways by design: it is a regression guard for the new isInsidePropValue test, not a test of new behaviour. Saying otherwise would be dressing it up.

244 passed | 1 todo (245), tsc --noEmit clean.

End-to-end, raw console output

Same tree, same demo app, only process-file.ts swapped. The probe adds three strings: one in children, one in a JSX prop, one in an arrow render prop.

WITHOUT the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 21 translatable entries
- de: 1/21 translations missing
WITH the fix:
[Lingo.dev] 📊 Found 23 translatable entries
- de: 3/23 translations missing

21 → 23. Pre-fix the compiler sees only the child text; both prop strings are invisible to it. Demo reverted, no demo/ file in the branch.

Previous-round findings, resolved

Duplicated visitor objects — object deleted.
attributeVisitors naming collides with translateAttributes — moot.
useTranslation count proves quantity, not placement — the two scope-less tests now assert context.componentName === "Page" directly, so placement is pinned by an assertion rather than only by the paired snapshot.
My assertion-message quote characterised all six failures from one — noted; the table above lists shapes rather than reusing one message.

Still not covered

A rich-text child carrying its own JSX prop, where serializeJSXChildren folds it into the parent's run through a separate recursive descent. Named in the changeset, tracked on ENG-1368.
