What

WDiv's token scans split a child's raw className on any whitespace instead of a single space.

Why

The project's own style guide is what put the bug in reach. .claude/rules/widgets.md and SKILL.md (sections 7 and 10) both instruct a className covering 3+ concerns to be a triple-quoted string with one concern per line:

className: '''
  flex-1
  bg-white dark:bg-gray-800
''',

Three composition helpers split that on ' ', so flex-1 at the end of a line arrives as flex-1\n and never matches. The guidance was correct; the implementation could not honour it.

Two consequences, both reproduced before fixing:

Helper Shape Before After
_selfWrapsInFlex multi-line flex-1 child in a flex flex-row overflow-hidden row Incorrect use of ParentDataWidget (the child already carried its own Expanded, the row wrapped it again) no exception
_hasShrinkZero multi-line w-24 shrink-0 child in a crowded 100pt row 50.0 (shrank to its flex share) 96 (holds the width it asked for)

Both are pinned by test/widgets/w_div/multiline_classname_test.dart, which fails on master.

The third site, and why it has no test

_hasExplicitCrossWidth has the same miss and is corrected for consistency with its own documented "in ANY state or breakpoint variant" intent. I could not produce an observable failure for it: a column child that gets stretched still renders at the width it asked for, because its own w-24 wins inside the stretch wrapper. So the cost is a redundant wrapper in the tree, not a wrong layout. I wrote the test, watched it pass on master, and deleted it. A test that passes before the fix pins nothing, and keeping it would have implied a regression it does not guard.

While in there

All five token scans now share one hoisted static final RegExp _whitespaceRegex, matching the existing _numericFlexRegex field. Two of them (_hasBareFullWidth, _claimsGrowShare) already split on whitespace but constructed RegExp(r'\s+') on every call, inside the row/column composition path.

Gates

  • dart format --set-exit-if-changed: 0 changed.
  • dart analyze lib/ test/ example/lib/: No issues found.
  • ./tool/coverage.sh 90: 1700 passed, 1 skipped, coverage 94.8%.
  • python3 tool/check-docs.py: 0 issues across 72 doc pages.

Post-change sync

CHANGELOG.md only. No doc/ or skill change: nothing there stated the wrong behaviour, and the guidance that led into the bug is the guidance this fix makes safe, so amending it would be noise. No README change (no roster change) and no example page (no new token).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed multiline className parsing so layout classes work correctly when separated by newlines or other whitespace.
    • Corrected flex wrapping, shrink-0 sizing, and explicit cross-width behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for multiline class names, including flex wrapping and intrinsic width preservation.

`.claude/rules/widgets.md` and SKILL.md both instruct a className covering
3+ concerns to be a triple-quoted string with one concern per line. Three of
WDiv's token scans split on a single space, so a token ending a line arrived
as `flex-1\n` and never matched. The style guide was steering callers into
the defect.

Two reproduced consequences:

  - `_selfWrapsInFlex` missed the token, so the row wrapped a child that
    already carried its own Expanded and threw "Incorrect use of
    ParentDataWidget".
  - `_hasShrinkZero` missed it, so a `w-24 shrink-0` child in a 100pt row
    shrank to its 50pt flex share instead of holding 96.

`_hasExplicitCrossWidth` is corrected for consistency with its own documented
"in ANY state or breakpoint variant" intent, but no observable failure could
be produced for it: a stretched column child still renders at the width it
asked for, so the miss costs a redundant wrapper rather than a wrong layout.
It gets no test, because a test that passes before the fix pins nothing.

All five scans now share one hoisted `_whitespaceRegex`, which also stops the
two that already split on whitespace from allocating a `RegExp` per call
inside the composition path.

Note

Kodizm (AI-generated). May contain mistakes; verify before acting.

The fix is correct and tightly scoped: the three helpers that split on ' ' now match the whitespace behaviour the other two (and WindParser, WTabs, WImage, wind_recipe) already had, so WDiv's token scans finally agree with the triple-quoted className the style guide asks for.

I grepped every className.split/contains site under lib/ — after this change no scan in the package splits on a single space, so there is no fourth site left behind. The two contains('basis-') / contains('order-') / contains('absolute') checks are substring matches and were never whitespace-sensitive.

Minor

lib/src/widgets/w_div.dart:882 — correctness/changelog accuracy. The claim that the _hasExplicitCrossWidth correction "costs a redundant wrapper rather than a wrong layout" holds for the w-24 case you reasoned about, but not for max-w-*/min-w-*. A column child whose className ends a line with max-w-sm was previously stretch-wrapped in SizedBox(width: infinity) and rendered at 384pt in a wider column; with the token now visible, stretch is skipped and it renders at content width instead. Same shape for a line-final min-w-0. That is the right direction — it makes multiline match single-line, which is the whole point of the fix — but it is a visible layout change for existing callers, not just a tree cleanup, and the changelog entry currently reads as if nothing user-visible moved. I reasoned this from _shouldStretchColumnChild (w_div.dart:955-962) rather than executing it, so treat the specific numbers as unconfirmed; the direction of the change is not in doubt.

test/widgets/w_div/multiline_classname_test.dart:20 — the file uses a local pumpAt helper and no group, where .claude/rules/tests.md asks widget tests for the canonical wrapWithTheme and the sibling flex_stretch_test.dart:12 does exactly that with an inline SizedBox(width: ...) for the fixed surface. Functionally equivalent; only the convention diverges.

Tests

Both new cases are the right shape — takeException() for the double-wrap and a measured 96pt for shrink-0. _hasExplicitCrossWidth remains unpinned; your reasoning for deleting a test that passed on master is sound, but the max-w-sm column case above looks like the observable failure you could not find, and it would pin the third site.

Checks I ran

  • flutter test — 1700 passed, 1 skipped (pre-existing), 0 failures.
  • flutter test test/widgets/w_div/multiline_classname_test.dart — 2 passed.
  • dart analyze lib/ test/ — No issues found!
  • dart format --set-exit-if-changed on both touched files — 0 changed.
  • python3 tool/check-docs.py — 0 issues, 72 pages.
  • I did not revert w_div.dart to confirm the new tests fail on master; the mechanism is clear from the diff ('flex-1\n' never equals 'flex-1'), but the "fails before the fix" claim is yours, not mine.

Resolves the CHANGELOG conflict: master's `### Fixed` bullet and this branch's
two sit at the same position, and master also carries the whole `### Quality`
section. All three Fixed bullets now sit under Fixed, master's first because it
landed first, with Quality kept last. No wording changed on either side.

This is the first build combining #180's whitespace token scan with the
semantics changes here, so the full gate ran rather than the workflow-only
subset: 1706 tests passed, 1 skipped, coverage 94.8%.

…entry (#183)

The entry said the trailing newline caused a "miss" at that site whose cost was
a redundant wrapper. There was no miss. `_hasExplicitCrossWidth` matches with
`startsWith('w-')` rather than equality, and `'w-24\n'.startsWith('w-')` is
true, so a newline never hid an explicit width from it.

That also corrects the reasoning, not just the wording. The test written for
that site passed before the fix because the predicate already worked, not
because the consequence was unobservable, which is what the entry implied and
what I had concluded.

CodeRabbit raised this on #180 and I read its finding as claiming the entry
asserted a behavioural fix, which it did not, so the thread closed with the
mechanism agreed and this sentence left standing. Correcting it before it ships
in the 1.4.1 release notes.
