Engine version transition

This change ships the engine as 0.6.2. @prisma/composer-cli and @prisma/orm-toolchain peer @prisma/cli-engine 0.6.1, so exceptions in packages/cli/scripts/conformance.ts holds one entry for each, as #280 did for 0.6.1. pnpm check:conformance reports "0 failing, 6 allowed" on the release channel and with PUBLISH_CHANNEL=dev.

Delete both entries once both packages release against engine 0.6.2 and this repository pins those releases.

Symptom

The CLI prints a literal {bin} in hints and messages. For example, prisma migration plan ends with:

→ Apply the migration: {bin} db migrate

The same text appears in the --json envelope and in --format markdown output.

Cause

Command families write {bin} on purpose and expect the renderer to substitute the name of the binary the user ran. That substitution lived in the ORM's standalone CLI. It was deleted in prisma/orm#30005 when the ORM moved to the unified CLI. The engine only ever substituted {bin} in help examples and redirect replacements (resolveExample).

Fix

The engine now substitutes {bin} with the CLI name when a run settles, so human, JSON, and markdown output carry the same text. resolveExample and the new code share one function, substituteBinName.

Substituted:

  • Next actions: label, reason, command, and commands. The url is left as written.
  • Diagnostics and errors: summary, why, and their nested next actions. This includes the envelope's top-level nextActions.
  • Next actions of a command that settles with a child process status.
  • Config section warnings.
  • Presentation blocks of kind summary and list.

Left as written, because they can hold user data:

  • Presentation blocks of kind fields, table, tree, and drawing.
  • The JSON result, the outcome data, and the stdout lines.
  • Diagnostic meta.
  • Stream events, and errors the engine writes itself (unknown command, internal error).

The engine version moves from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2 through pnpm bump-cli-engine-version patch.

Checks

Command Result
pnpm build 5 of 5 tasks passed
pnpm typecheck 9 of 9 tasks passed
pnpm lint no findings
pnpm test --concurrency=1 9 of 9 tasks passed. Engine: 969 of 969 tests. CLI: 1021 passed, 2 skipped.
pnpm test:scripts passed
pnpm check:grammar 11 of 11 tests passed
pnpm check:error-reference lists all 130 known codes
pnpm check:skill-packaging OK
node scripts/check-engine-version.mjs origin/main engine version 0.6.2 is consistent
pnpm check:conformance "0 failing, 6 allowed", on the release channel and with PUBLISH_CHANNEL=dev

The new test file packages/cli-engine/tests/bin-placeholder.test.ts failed on all 7 cases before the fix. It also asserts that a table cell, a field value, a next action url, the JSON result, and meta containing {bin} stay unchanged.

…ntation prose

Command families write {bin} and expect the renderer to name the binary the user ran. The engine substituted it only in help examples and redirect replacements, so hints such as '{bin} db migrate' were printed as written.

The engine now substitutes when a run settles, in next actions (command, commands), diagnostic and error summary and why, config section warnings, and summary and list blocks. Table, fields, tree, and drawing blocks, the json result, stdout lines, and meta are left as written.

The engine moves to 0.6.2. pnpm check:conformance fails until the two engine-pin exceptions for the 0.6.2 transition are added to packages/cli/scripts/conformance.ts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • CLI-generated help, examples, diagnostics, and suggested next steps now display the name of the command you ran in place of {bin}.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected placeholder handling in human-readable, Markdown, and structured error output. Unrelated data, such as JSON results and raw output, remains unchanged.
  • Chores
    • Updated CLI package versions.

Walkthrough

The engine records the invoked CLI name and substitutes it in selected human-readable text, diagnostics, and next actions. Warning, completed-command, error, and child-status paths apply the substitution. Tests cover completed and failed commands, malformed unvalidated errors, and values that remain unchanged. The Engine package version and CLI workspace pins move to 0.6.2, with conformance exceptions for two packages that remain pinned to 0.6.1.

commit: 5a434d1

composer-cli and orm-toolchain still peer engine 0.6.1. Delete both entries once both release peering 0.6.2 and prisma-cli pins those releases.

A next action's label and reason are prose the command family wrote, so they get the same substitution as command and commands. The url is left as written.

main deleted the prisma-cli-v8 project ledger in #312, so the ledger entry for the engine 0.6.2 transition is dropped. The conformance exceptions carry their own removal condition.

…rror

Settlement receives errors nothing has validated: one built by another copy of the engine, or a handler's notOk failure. A missing next action list or a text field that is not a string is now returned as it came, so the run settles with the original error as it did before.

Validate each error action before substituting its label.

settleErrored passes error.nextActions directly to nextActionsWithBinName. If the array contains null or another invalid element, action.label throws and can prevent the error envelope from being emitted. Validate each action and preserve the original error when an action has an invalid shape.
