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

On documentation pages with multiple Mermaid diagrams (especially complex flowcharts or sequence diagrams using asynchronous layouts like ELK), refreshing or loading the page concurrently mounts all diagram components.

Mermaid functions as a mutable singleton whose initialize(config) call modifies global shared site configuration used by subsequent render(id, text) invocations. When multiple diagrams mount simultaneously:

  1. useMermaidRenderResult triggers renderMermaid in parallel across all diagrams.
  2. Concurrent invocations of mermaid.initialize(config) and mermaid.render(id, text) interleave and race against each other.
  3. This race condition causes in-flight renders to resolve with empty SVG outputs (""), leaving diagrams blank without triggering error boundaries.

This PR addresses the root cause by serializing mermaid.initialize and mermaid.render through an internal promise queue:

  • Sequential Execution: Each diagram's initialize and render lifecycle runs atomically in sequence.
  • Resilience: Queued renders continue executing even if an earlier diagram fails or throws a syntax error.
  • Unmount Protection: An isCancelled guard in useMermaidRenderResult prevents React state updates if a diagram component unmounts while queued or rendering.

Test Plan

  1. Added comprehensive unit tests in packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/__tests__/renderMermaid.test.ts:
    • Verified that concurrent calls to renderMermaid are executed in strict serial order (initialize followed by render start/end for diagram 1, then diagram 2, etc.), never exceeding a concurrency of 1.
    • Verified that if an earlier diagram throws an error (e.g. invalid syntax), its promise rejects as expected while subsequent queued diagrams continue and render successfully.
    • Verified that temporary error DOM elements (#d${id}) are cleaned up safely when errors occur.
  2. Ran complete test suite and linters:
    • npm test -- packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid (9/9 tests pass)
    • npx tsc -p tsconfig.tests.json (0 errors)
    • npx oxfmt --list-different packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid (clean)
    • npx eslint packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/client/index.ts packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/__tests__/renderMermaid.test.ts (0 errors, 0 warnings)

Closes #12757

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Mermaid diagrams now render in sequence, reducing conflicts when multiple diagrams are rendered at once.
    • A failed render no longer prevents queued diagrams from rendering.
    • Error elements are cleaned up when rendering fails, and IDs containing special characters are handled safely.
    • Results from renders that are no longer active are ignored, preventing outdated successes or errors from affecting the page.

…empty SVGs (meta#12757)

Mermaid is a mutable singleton where initialize() sets global siteConfig.
When multiple diagrams on a page mount simultaneously, concurrent
initialize() and render() calls can corrupt internal state, leading to
empty SVG outputs on page reload.

This change:
- Serializes Mermaid initialize and render calls through a module-level queue
- Ensures queued renders continue even if a preceding diagram throws an error
- Adds an unmount cancellation check to avoid setState on unmounted components
- Adds unit tests verifying sequential execution and error handling

Closes meta#12757

Walkthrough

The Mermaid client serializes initialization and rendering through a shared promise queue. It continues queued work after a failed render, sanitizes render IDs, and ignores render results after effect cleanup. Tests cover queue behavior and error cleanup.

Changes: Mermaid rendering reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Serialize and sanitize Mermaid renders
packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/client/index.ts, packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/__tests__/renderMermaid.test.ts
renderMermaid is exported and queues initialization and rendering. A failed render rejects its caller without blocking later queued renders. The client sanitizes IDs and, when document exists, removes the error element by DOM ID. Tests verify ordering, queue continuation, and error cleanup.
Guard updates after effect cleanup
packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/client/index.ts
The hook updates state after success or failure only while its effect remains active. Cleanup marks the effect as cancelled.

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

Merge Risk: Low · up to 0ac07

The serialization change has bounded remaining risks around unusual diagram IDs: diagrams can fail, collide, or remove matching content during cleanup. These edge cases warrant owner awareness and localized fixes; no broader rendering failure is established.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: Mermaid initialize and render calls are serialized through a queue to stop empty SVGs. The changeset matches this. The queue lives in client/index.ts, and the new tests cover serial execution and queue continuation after errors. The title also includes a PR-style reference (#12757) that points to the linked issue; that number matches the issue, not the PR (#12923), which is a minor inconsistency but does not make the title misleading.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#12757] Requirement 1, serialize initialize and render: At head, renderMermaid in packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/client/index.ts chains each run on a module-level renderQueue (renderQueue.then(run, run)). Each run calls mermaid.initialize(config) and then mermaid.render(safeId, text) in the same queued step. Requirement 2, later renders continue after a failure: renderQueue = result.catch(() => {}) keeps the queue alive after a rejected render. The catch path removes the error element and rethrows, so the caller still receives the error. Requirement 3, per-diagram config and color mode: each call passes its own config, so a color mode change reaches later renders through the normal config flow. Requirement 4, no stale React updates after unmount: useMermaidRenderResult sets isCancelled in the effect cleanup and guards both setResult calls. Requirement 5, IDs that Mermaid can render: the new safeId (id.replace(/[^\w-]/g, '_')) removes colons from useId() values before mermaid.render, and the error cleanup uses the same sanitized ID with getElementById(d${safeId}). Automated tests in renderMermaid.test.ts cover strict serial order, continuation after rejection, and error-element cleanup for colon-containing IDs, as summarized. Limits: tests mock Mermaid, so ELK rendering in a real browser is not verified. The issue states its root cause as a suspicion, so this assessment checks the serialization fix, not the root cause.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

[#12757] All changed code in index.ts maps to the issue. The module-level queue, the run wrapper, and the isCancelled guard implement the serialization and stale-result requirements. The safeId sanitization applies to both mermaid.render and the error-element cleanup in the same render path, so the two IDs stay consistent. It is needed for renders that use useId() IDs containing colons. Exporting renderMermaid and adding resetRenderQueueForTest support the unit tests. The document-existence guard on the cleanup only affects non-browser environments. The diff shows no unrelated behavior change in the reviewed source file. The previous reviewed head was used only for context; the whole-PR diff against the merge base was used for this assessment.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Test cancellation of stale render completions.

The tests call renderMermaid directly, so they cannot detect removal of the hook’s cancellation guards. Add hook or component tests that change inputs while a render is pending. Resolve and reject the obsolete render, and verify that it neither displays a stale SVG nor reaches the error boundary.

Preserve uniqueness when sanitizing render IDs.

With a non-sandbox configuration, a:b and a?b both become a_b. If the first SVG is displayed before the second render, Mermaid removes it. Use a collision-free, selector-safe encoding for the ID, including error cleanup.

Make digit-leading IDs selector-safe.

If a caller supplies 1diagram, the sanitizer leaves it unchanged. Mermaid’s pie renderer then rejects the valid diagram because #1diagram is not a valid CSS selector. Generate a selector-safe ID and use the same value for error cleanup.

Review comment at @packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/client/index.ts around
lines 77 - 78:
Update the ID sanitization in the Mermaid render flow so IDs beginning with a
digit become valid CSS selectors, while preserving the existing sanitization for
other characters. Use the resulting selector-safe ID consistently for both
mermaid.render and error cleanup.

Remove only Mermaid-owned elements during cleanup.

If malformed frontmatter makes Mermaid reject before creating its container, cleanup can remove an unrelated element with ID d${safeId}. Track ownership before removing the element.

Review comment at @packages/docusaurus-theme-mermaid/src/client/index.ts around
lines 84 - 85:
Update the cleanup logic around safeId so it removes d${safeId} only when that
element was created or otherwise verified as owned by the current Mermaid
render; preserve unrelated elements when Mermaid rejects before creating its
container.
