fix(router-core): format Standard Schema issues instead of JSON.stringify - #8471

Conversation
…gify An issue can carry a value that JSON.stringify refuses, such as a bigint, or a circular reference, so serializing it threw and hid the validation failure it was meant to report. The blob also buried the messages. Server-function validation and router search validation now share one formatter that reports each issue as `path: message`. Keys that are not plain identifiers are bracket-quoted, so the two-key path ['a', 'b'] and the single key ['a.b'] stay distinct, and only the message and path are read, each defensively. Fixes TanStack#7779

What changed in this PR
This PR fixes Standard Schema validation error reporting in router-core and start-client-core by replacing JSON.stringify(result.issues) (which can itself throw on BigInt/circular structures) with a shared formatter that produces stable, readable path: message lines.
Changes:
- Add
formatStandardSchemaIssuesformatter to safely render Standard Schema issues without serializing the raw issue objects. - Use the formatter in both router search validation (
router-core) and server-function validation (start-client-core). - Extend
AnyStandardSchemaValidateIssueto include an optionalpath, and add dedicated unit tests for edge cases.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| packages/start-client-core/src/createServerFn.ts | Switch server-function Standard Schema validation errors to use the shared formatter. |
| packages/router-core/tests/standardSchemaIssues.test.ts | Add unit coverage for path rendering, ambiguity avoidance, and hostile/non-serializable issue shapes. |
| packages/router-core/src/validators.ts | Add optional path to the Standard Schema issue type. |
| packages/router-core/src/standardSchemaIssues.ts | Implement the shared issue formatter used by both validation paths. |
| packages/router-core/src/router.ts | Switch router search validation errors to use the shared formatter. |
| packages/router-core/src/index.ts | Export the formatter from the router-core entrypoint for cross-package reuse. |
| .changeset/olive-donkeys-repeat.md | Patch changeset describing the improved formatting and the two affected packages. |

moved it out of the root entry. there's now a ./internal subpath backed by src/internal.ts, and start-client-core imports from @tanstack/router-core/internal, so the root export surface is unchanged and this no longer conflicts with the scope note on #7779.

you're right, that one could never fail. the formatter builds a string and never keys an object by the path, so nothing would set it. dropped the line, the rendered output is what actually covers the __proto__ case.

- Line 51: The renderKey logic used by formatStandardSchemaIssues currently
makes symbols ambiguous with string keys and with other symbols sharing the same
description. Add a formatter-local Map<symbol, token> for each
formatStandardSchemaIssues call, assign stable unique tokens as symbols are
encountered, and render them with syntax distinct from quoted string keys while
preserving normal string-key rendering. Add tests covering both collisions.
In `@packages/router-core/tests/standardSchemaIssues.test.ts`:
- Around line 1-127: Add caller-level failure-path tests for router search
validation and createServerFn, using compatible Standard Schema validators and
asserting the exact formatted validation message. Include a non-serializable
issue field in each relevant case so regressions that stringify the issue or
pass the entire validation result are detected; preserve existing assertions for
SearchParamError and its cause.

Keep formatStandardSchemaIssues out of the @tanstack/router-core root entry.
createServerFn.ts imports this formatter from the root entry, which makes it available to every @tanstack/router-core consumer. Re-export it from the existing @tanstack/router-core/ssr/client entry instead, update createServerFn.ts to import it there, and remove the root export.

Keeps the root entry point unchanged, per the scope note on TanStack#7779, by adding a `./internal` subpath that `start-client-core` imports instead. Also drops a pollution assertion that could not fail: the formatter builds a string and never keys an object by the path, so the rendered output is what actually covers the `__proto__` case.
A symbol rendered as `["Symbol(a)"]`, the same as the string key `'Symbol(a)'`, which is the ambiguity this formatter is supposed to remove. Symbols now render unquoted, `[Symbol(a)]`, and a per-call namer gives a second distinct symbol sharing a description a counter. The formatter tests ran in isolation, so a call site going back to JSON.stringify would still have passed. Added tests through router search validation whose issues carry a bigint: they fail with "Do not know how to serialize a BigInt" against the old code.
…e path Drives execValidator with issues carrying a bigint, so the server-function side is pinned the same way router search validation is. Against the old code these fail with "Do not know how to serialize a BigInt".
Fixes #7779
Problem
Both validation paths serialized Standard Schema issues raw:
An issue can carry a value
JSON.stringifyrefuses. A bigint throwsTypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt, and a circular reference throws too, so the line meant to report a validation failure threw something else instead and the original messages were lost. Even when it did serialize, the messages were buried in a blob.Fix
One shared formatter,
formatStandardSchemaIssues, used by both paths. It reports each issue aspath: message, one per line, and a root issue as just the message.Only
messageandpathare read, each in its own try/catch, so an exotic or hostile issue object still yields a usable error rather than throwing. Nothing is serialized.Paths stay unambiguous. A key that is a plain identifier is joined with a dot, anything else is bracket-quoted:
['user', 'name']user.name['a.b']["a.b"]['items', 0]items[0]['0']["0"][Symbol('s')]["Symbol(s)"]So the two-key path and the single dotted key can never collide, and a numeric index stays distinct from a numeric string. Prototype-named keys like
__proto__are safe because the path is built as a string and never used to key an object.I also added the optional
pathtoAnyStandardSchemaValidateIssue, which previously only modelledmessage.Tests
16 unit tests in
packages/router-core/tests/standardSchemaIssues.test.tscovering root issues, nested paths, the object form of a segment, numeric keys, the dot-collision and numeric-string cases, quoted keys,__proto__, symbols, multiple issues, and issues that cannot be serialized (circular, bigint, throwing getters).Review follow-ups
./internalsubpath, so the public@tanstack/router-coresurface is unchanged, per the scope note on fix(start-client-core): safely serialize Standard Schema validation issues #7779.[Symbol(a)], so they cannot collide with the string key'Symbol(a)'. A per-call namer gives a second distinct symbol sharing a description a counter,[Symbol(a)#2].router-core/tests/standardSchemaIssuesCallers.test.tsdrives router search validation, andstart-client-core/tests/execValidator.test.tsdrives the server-function validator. Both use issues carrying a bigint, so against the old code they fail with "Do not know how to serialize a BigInt". They pin the call sites rather than only the formatter.Still open
The issue also asks for E2E coverage across several Standard Schema libraries, the validator documentation pass and the bundle-size scenario. I left those out to keep this reviewable, happy to add them here or in a follow-up.
