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 was previously dismissed by a user, and the site subsequently updates themeConfig.announcementBar with a new id, the new announcement bar stays hidden on the user's first page load. It only becomes visible after a second page reload.

Cause

  1. Before hydration, getAnnouncementBarInlineScript evaluated docusaurus.announcement.dismiss${siteStorage.namespace} alone without checking whether the stored docusaurus.announcement.id matched the current announcement ID.
  2. Because the previous announcement was dismissed, the script set <html data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed="true">.
  3. The CSS rule html[data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed='true'] .announcementBar { display: none; } hid the rendered bar.
  4. After hydration, AnnouncementBarProvider detected that id was new, reset dismiss in storage to false, and set isClosed(false). However, nothing reset the data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed attribute on <html>, so the rendered bar remained hidden with display: none until the next reload.

Solution

  • Pass announcementBar to getAnnouncementBarInlineScript.
  • In the inline script, verify that the stored docusaurus.announcement.id matches the current announcement ID before treating the bar as dismissed. If the ID differs (or has never been seen), isDismissed() returns false.
  • In announcementBar.tsx, update isDismissedInStorage(id) to also verify that the stored ID matches the current announcement ID.

Test Plan

  • Added unit tests in packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/__tests__/inlineScripts.test.ts covering:
    • Generating inline scripts with default announcement ID and namespace.
    • Generating inline scripts with custom announcement ID and custom namespace.
    • Verifying execution: when a user dismissed a previous announcement (id: 'announcement-v1'), but the site serves announcement-v2, isDismissed() evaluates to false and sets data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed="false".
    • Verifying that when the user has dismissed the current announcement (id: 'announcement-v2'), isDismissed() evaluates to true and sets data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed="true".
  • Ran unit test suite: npx vitest run packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/ (68 passed).
  • Ran unit test suite: npx vitest run packages/docusaurus-theme-common/ (114 passed).
  • Ran TypeScript build on both packages: npm run build in theme-common and theme-classic (0 errors).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Announcement bar dismissals are now associated with the specific announcement. When a new announcement has a different ID, a previous dismissal no longer hides it; dismissals still apply to the matching announcement. The bar also updates its dismissal state when the configured announcement ID changes.

When an announcement bar was dismissed and a site subsequently ships a new announcement with a different id, the new announcement bar stayed hidden on first page load.

The inline script before hydration evaluated docusaurus.announcement.dismiss without comparing the stored announcement id against the current one, setting data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed='true' and hiding the bar via CSS until a subsequent reload.

Pass announcementBar configuration to getAnnouncementBarInlineScript to verify that the stored announcement id matches before treating it as dismissed, and ensure isDismissedInStorage in AnnouncementBarContext also validates the announcement id.

Walkthrough

Announcement-bar dismissal checks now account for the configured announcement ID in both the generated inline script and React state. The classic theme passes the announcement bar to the script generator, and tests cover default and custom storage namespaces.

Changes: Announcement dismissal by ID

Layer / File(s) Summary
ID-aware React dismissal state
packages/docusaurus-theme-common/src/contexts/announcementBar.tsx
React checks the stored announcement ID when initializing, updating, and reopening the bar. The hydration effect reruns when the configured ID changes.
ID-aware inline dismissal check
packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/inlineScripts.ts, packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/index.ts, packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/__tests__/inlineScripts.test.ts
The generated script treats a different stored ID as not dismissed. The classic theme passes the configured announcement bar to the script generator. Tests cover default and custom namespaces and ID mismatch behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

The ID-aware checks address initial announcement visibility, but a narrowly timed close can still be undone. This is a bounded visual issue; merging carries low risk with owner awareness.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(theme): show new announcement bar immediately when id changes" matches the main change in the changeset. The raw summary shows the inline script now compares the stored announcement-bar ID with the current ID before treating the bar as dismissed, and the React context applies the same ID check. The PR objectives describe the same goal: a changed announcement ID should show the new bar on the first page load. The title is specific and uses a conventional commit prefix, so a teammate scanning history can identify the primary change.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #12646 has one direct link and no parent context. Its coding requirement is that the pre-hydration script must not treat the bar as dismissed when the stored announcement ID differs from the configured ID. At the reviewed head, getAnnouncementBarInlineScript in packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/inlineScripts.ts accepts announcementBar and returns false from isDismissed() when localStorage['docusaurus.announcement.id&lt;namespace&gt;'] differs from the configured ID (JSON.stringify(id), default 'announcement-bar'). The script therefore sets data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed="false", and the CSS rule that hides .announcementBar does not apply on the first load. packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/index.ts passes announcementBar to the function, so the configured ID reaches the script. In packages/docusaurus-theme-common/src/contexts/announcementBar.tsx, isDismissedInStorage(id) now requires the stored ID to match, and the hydration effect reruns when announcementBar?.id changes. This keeps the React state consistent with the script. The PR description reports unit tests in inlineScripts.test.ts for matching and differing IDs. I did not inspect that test file directly. The issue does not require tests, so this does not affect the verdict.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed files are on the announcement-bar visibility path that issue #12646 describes: inlineScripts.ts (ID check in the pre-hydration script), index.ts (passes announcementBar at the call site), announcementBar.tsx (ID-aware dismissal check in the React context), and inlineScripts.test.ts (supporting tests, per the PR description). No change affects unrelated theme, color mode, or navigation behavior. The getThemeInlineScript path is unchanged. No change lacks a connection to the linked issue.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% 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 2 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

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

Test the missing stored ID.

When the dismissal flag is 'true' but the stored ID is missing, the script should set the attribute to false. The current execution test covers only present IDs.

Add the missing-ID case

       fn(mockLocalStorage, mockDocument);
       expect(attributeValue).toBe('true');
+
+      store.delete('docusaurus.announcement.id');
+      fn(mockLocalStorage, mockDocument);

Record the announcement ID when closing it.

If a user closes a new announcement before its ID effect runs, the effect can clear the dismissal and reopen the bar. Record the current ID before saving the dismissal.

+      IdStorage.set(announcementBar.id);
