fix(docgen): do not mutate shared defaults or user config object (#6805) by user-Param · Pull Request #6848 · OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts

user-Param · 2026-10-31T05:07:24Z

Docgen config: The resolveUserConfig hook assigned config.docgen to the
shared defaults singleton or the caller's userConfig.docgen object, then
mutated root and sourcesDir on it. This corrupted shared state across
config resolutions and threw on frozen objects. Now creates a fresh
resolved object with spread.

Memoized getter: defineGetterMemoized left state as 'doing' when the
getter threw, causing subsequent accesses to throw 'Detected recursion'
instead of retrying. Now resets state to 'todo' in a catch block.

This corrupted shared state across config resolutions and threw on frozen objects. Now creates a fresh resolved object with spread, matching the sibling hardhat-exposed plugin pattern. fix(docgen): reset memoized getter state when getter throws (OpenZeppelin#6802) defineGetterMemoized left state as 'doing' when the getter threw, causing subsequent accesses to throw 'Detected recursion' instead of retrying. Now resets state to 'todo' in a catch block so the getter is retried. Fixes OpenZeppelin#6805 and OpenZeppelin#6802.

Walkthrough

The config hook now creates a new config.docgen object from user settings or defaults, then sets its resolved root and sourcesDir. The memoized getter now resets its state to todo and rethrows when getter() fails, allowing a later access to retry.

Suggested labels: ignore-changeset

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: High · up to f8d43

This change breaks documentation generation. The getter's error handler uses a bare throw;, which is a syntax error, so the docgen tooling no longer loads. Use catch (error) and throw error before merging. A smaller issue is that docgen settings provided by another config hook may be ignored.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

For [#6805], hardhat/hardhat-solidity-docgen/hook-handlers/config.ts now assigns a new object from userConfig.docgen or defaults. It sets root and sourcesDir on that new object. The hook therefore does not mutate the shared defaults or the caller's object, including when the caller object is frozen.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. 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 0 functions across 2 files.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The change in hardhat/hardhat-solidity-docgen/internal/utils/memoized-getter.ts resets memoization state after a getter error. This behavior is separate from [#6805], which covers docgen configuration mutation. The supplied linked-issue evidence does not define [#6802] as an active directly linked objective.

Resolution

Remove the memoized-getter change from this pull request, unless [#6802] is confirmed as an active directly linked objective with applicable scope.

Preserve the config returned by next.

If an earlier config hook sets config.docgen.outputDir, this spread discards that value and docgen writes to the user-provided or default directory instead. Hardhat supports chained hooks that customize other plugins. (hardhat.org)

Copy config.docgen ?? userConfig.docgen ?? defaults before overriding root and sourcesDir.

Rethrow the caught value.

throw; is invalid syntax, so this module cannot load. (tc39.es) This also blocks the docgen task, which imports the module through internal/main.ts and internal/site.ts. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Use catch (error) and throw error to preserve the original error.
