Pre-flight checklist

  • I have read the Contributing Guidelines on pull requests.
  • If this is a code change: I have written unit tests and/or added dogfooding pages to fully verify the new behavior.
  • If this is a new API or substantial change: the PR has an accompanying issue (closes #0000) and the maintainers have approved on my working plan.

Motivation

Fixes #12646

When an announcement bar is configured with a new id, users who previously dismissed an older announcement (docusaurus.announcement.dismiss === 'true') do not see the new announcement bar on their first page load. It only appears after a second reload.

Root Cause

  1. In packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/inlineScripts.ts, getAnnouncementBarInlineScript only checked localStorage.getItem('docusaurus.announcement.dismiss') === 'true'. It did not check whether localStorage.getItem('docusaurus.announcement.id') matched the configured announcement ID.
  2. Because the stored dismiss flag was still 'true' from the older announcement, the pre-hydration inline script set <html data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed="true">.
  3. The CSS rule html[data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed='true'] .announcementBar { display: none; } immediately hid the element.
  4. During React hydration, AnnouncementBarProvider detected isNewAnnouncement and cleared the stored dismiss flag, but never cleared the data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed attribute from document.documentElement, leaving the rendered announcement bar hidden by CSS until the next reload.

Solution

  • Pass announcementBar to getAnnouncementBarInlineScript.
  • In inlineScripts.ts, verify that docusaurus.announcement.id matches announcementBar.id before treating the announcement as dismissed. If the stored ID differs or is missing, treat the announcement as not dismissed (false).
  • In announcementBar.tsx, remove data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed from document.documentElement when isNewAnnouncement || !isDismissedInStorage() on hydration.

Test Plan

  • Added unit regression tests in packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/__tests__/inlineScripts.test.ts:
    • Verified generated script contains ID and dismiss checks.
    • Verified evaluation sets data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed to false when stored ID differs from the current configured announcement ID.
    • Verified evaluation sets data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed to true when stored ID matches and was dismissed.
    • Verified evaluation sets data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed to false on a fresh visit without prior stored ID.
  • Verified all 70 tests in packages/docusaurus-theme-classic pass with pnpm vitest run packages/docusaurus-theme-classic.
  • Verified TypeScript typechecks with pnpm tsc -p packages/docusaurus-theme-classic and pnpm tsc -p packages/docusaurus-theme-common.
  • Formatted with pnpm oxfmt.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Announcement bars with IDs now correctly distinguish their dismissal state. A dismissal for a different announcement no longer hides the current bar, while a previously dismissed matching announcement remains hidden.
    • Newly shown or undismissed announcement bars now clear the page’s initially-dismissed state, preventing the bar from being incorrectly treated as hidden.

Walkthrough

The inline script now considers the configured announcement ID when setting the initial dismissal state. The announcement bar provider removes the initially-dismissed attribute when the announcement should be shown.

Changes: Announcement bar visibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Initial dismissal check and coverage
packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/inlineScripts.ts, packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/index.ts, packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/__tests__/inlineScripts.test.ts
The inline script checks the stored announcement ID when one is configured. The theme passes the announcement bar configuration to the script. Tests cover matching and mismatching IDs, fresh visits, and storage namespaces.
Hydrated visibility update
packages/docusaurus-theme-common/src/contexts/announcementBar.tsx
When an announcement is new or is not dismissed, the provider removes the initially-dismissed attribute from the document root.

Merge Risk: Low · up to bcbf2

On sites configured for session storage, a dismissed announcement may briefly appear before hydration. The impact is bounded, but the storage mismatch should be fixed.

Explanation

Issue #12646 requires a new announcement ID to show on the first load after a prior announcement was dismissed. src/index.ts passes the configured announcement bar to getAnnouncementBarInlineScript. src/inlineScripts.ts treats the bar as not dismissed when the stored ID differs from the configured ID. src/contexts/announcementBar.tsx also removes the initially-dismissed HTML attribute during hydration when the announcement is new or not dismissed. The added tests cover mismatched, matching, and missing stored IDs.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to announcement-bar visibility behavior and regression tests for issue #12646. The inline script, hydration cleanup, and tests directly support the issue objective. No unrelated changes appear in the reviewed diff.

Use the configured storage for both announcement checks.

If storage.type is sessionStorage, the provider reads the ID and dismissal flag from session storage, but the inline script reads local storage. A dismissed bar can appear until hydration hides it. The dismissal read had this mismatch before; the new ID check can also prevent pre-hiding when a stale local dismissal flag was previously sufficient.

Use the configured storage

-          ? `if (localStorage.getItem('${AnnouncementBarIdStorageKey}') !== ${JSON.stringify(
+          ? `if (window['${siteStorage.type}'].getItem('${AnnouncementBarIdStorageKey}') !== ${JSON.stringify(
               announcementBar.id,
             )}) {
         return false;
       }`
           : ''
       }
-      return localStorage.getItem('${AnnouncementBarDismissStorageKey}') === 'true';
+      return window['${siteStorage.type}'].getItem('${AnnouncementBarDismissStorageKey}') === 'true';
