perf(assertions-source-gen): make assertion generators properly incremental - #6916
Conversation
…mental - AssertionMethodGenerator: find AssertionFrom<T> via ForAttributeWithMetadataName instead of a semantic transform over every class; pipeline models are string-only and equatable. - AssertionExtensionGenerator: extract equatable string models in the transform. - MethodAssertionGenerator: equatable diagnostic info instead of Diagnostic; emit per containing type instead of regenerating every file on any edit. - ShouldExtensionGenerator: collect current-compilation containers and wrappers through syntax providers, look up ShouldExtensions by name, cache the per-reference pre-filter. - Incremental tests for all four generators. Generated output for TUnit.Assertions and TUnit.Assertions.Should is byte-identical.

… and keep diagnostic source locations The Should generator's syntax-provider transforms read other types (a wrapper's wrapped assertion, a container's returned assertions), so an edit in another file left them stale. The syntax steps now yield only metadata names, and a new per-compilation step resolves them. MethodAssertionGenerator now reattaches diagnostics to the current syntax tree, so #pragma and per-file severities still apply.
ReviewThe change is well scoped and well argued: symbol-free equatable models, Points worth considering (none blocking):
Overall this is a solid improvement. The tests and the identical-output verification give me good confidence. Approving from my side. |

- Around line 1420-1424: Update the tree-matching logic in
MethodAssertionGenerator so pathless files retain a stable way to identify the
originating SourceTree instead of clearing an ambiguous match. Ensure
ToDiagnostic preserves that tree in the diagnostic location, and add a test with
two default-path trees that verifies the diagnostic retains its source tree.

…ross files; document model assumptions Adds an incremental test for a static partial extension container split over three files (two with extension methods, one without). Each Should method is emitted once, and editing the part without extension methods leaves the outputs cached. Also documents why AssertionMethodGenerator renders snippets in the transform (and that the text must stay deterministic), and why GroupByContainingType can take the first method's containing-type data.

Follow-up on the non-blocking review notes, in a8dc94e:

Review of #6916I read the The approach is sound. It replaces symbol-holding pipeline models with string-only equatable records and narrows the providers (FAWMN, plus a syntactic gate for extension containers). It also adds tracking-name incremental tests. Points to consider (none blocking):
Overall this is a solid perf and cache-correctness improvement. Approve, subject to the extension-block question in point 1. |
…the Should gate
The syntax gate only accepted classes with a classic 'this' parameter, so extension(T x) { ... } blocks were skipped even though the old namespace walk collected them. Accept extension blocks in the gate (kind resolved by name from the host compiler), pin it with an end-to-end Should test, and cover generic and nested wrapper metadata names.

Summary
The assertion source generators (
TUnit.Assertions.SourceGeneratorandTUnit.Assertions.Should.SourceGenerator) did not cache between edits. Some of their pipeline models held symbols, so the models never compared equal and also kept old compilations alive. One step ran a semantic transform on every class in every project that references TUnit. Another walked the whole current assembly three times on each compilation. This PR moves these generators to equatable, symbol-free models and narrower providers.For the same input, generated output is byte-identical. I built
TUnit.AssertionsandTUnit.Assertions.ShouldwithEmitCompilerGeneratedFilesfornetstandard2.0,net8.0,net9.0andnet10.0, before and after this change. All 944 generated files match (diff -ris empty). No snapshot changed.Changes
AssertionMethodGeneratorAssertionFrom<T>is now found withForAttributeWithMetadataName("TUnit.Assertions.Attributes.AssertionFromAttribute1"). The previousCreateSyntaxProvider(node is ClassDeclarationSyntax)ranGetDeclaredSymbolandGetAttributes` on every class.GenericAndNonGenericAttributesAreDiscoveredtest covers this with the 4.7 driver used by the incremental test project.AssertionClassModel→AssertionEntryModel→ConditionClassModel, using the existingImmutableEquatableArray).[AssertionFrom]entry is rendered in the transform: its condition classes keyed by class name, its extension methods, and the "method not found" message. The output step keeps the same cross-class dedup of condition class names, the same grouping, and non-generic data before generic data. Output is identical.Select(... AsEnumerable())that always produced a new value is gone.AssertionExtensionGeneratorAssertionExtensionDatano longer holds twoINamedTypeSymbolvalues and anImmutableArray<IMethodSymbol>.RequiresUnreferencedCodemessage and the pinned-overload decision.MethodAssertionGeneratorDiagnosticInfo(descriptor, file path, text span, line span and string args) instead of aDiagnostic. The output step pairs each diagnostic with the compilation and reattaches it to the matching syntax tree (Location.Create(tree, span)), so#pragmaand per-file severities still apply. It falls back toLocation.Create(path, span, lineSpan)only when no single tree has that path. Because each diagnostic is paired individually, this output only re-runs while diagnostics exist.methods.Collect()is now grouped per containing type (SelectManytoContainingTypeGroup), with one source output per group. An edit re-emits only the affected type's file. Hint names and file contents are unchanged.ShouldExtensionGeneratorthis.ForAttributeWithMetadataName(ShouldGeneratePartialAttribute).CollectWrapperwas split, and the single-type part (DescribeWrapper) is shared with the reference scan.GetAttributes()is no longer called on every type.ShouldLocalDeclarationsstep resolves the names against each compilation and runsCollectFromContainer/DescribeWrapperfor the candidates only. Partial types are deduplicated by name. The result is equatable, so outputs stay cached when nothing relevant changed.CollectExistingShouldEntryKeysusesassembly.GetTypeByMetadataName("TUnit.Assertions.Should.ShouldExtensions")instead of walking every type. It still does so for referenced assemblies.ReferencesAssertionsAssemblypre-filter result is cached perMetadataReferencein a secondConditionalWeakTable, validated against the TUnit.Assertions identity.CompilationProviderstep now only does cheap lookups and merges cached per-reference data, and its result is equatable.tests/TUnit.SourceGenerator.IncrementalTests)WithTrackingNamesteps to the generators and helpers inTestHelper.AssertionMethodGenerator,AssertionExtensionGeneratorandShouldExtensionGenerator. TwoMethodAssertionGeneratortests were added: a per-type regeneration test, and a test that an unrelated edit does not regenerate when a diagnostic is present.Aliases="ShouldGenerator". It compiles a linked copy ofEquatableArraythat would otherwise conflict withTUnit.Core.SourceGenerator's copy.Behaviour notes (edge cases only; no effect on TUnit's own output)
AssertionFrom<T>on a partial class: attributes now come from the attributed declaration, which is how the non-generic path already worked. Before, each declaration re-read every part's attributes, which duplicated members when a partial class was split.Should{Name}file.MethodAssertionGeneratordiagnostics are still reported at a tree location. The pipeline carries only the path and span, and the tree is looked up in the current compilation at output time, so no old tree is rooted.Tests run
