Module-level binding in svelte 3.16

[rootasjey]

Hi, after I updated svelte to the version 3.16.0, the build command doesn't work anymore.

Modules versions:

• "svelte": "3.16.0"
• "rollup-plugin-svelte": "5.1.1",

Output:

⟩ yarn run build
yarn run v1.19.1
$ rollup -c

What's in the file:
Header.svelte

<script context="module">
  let domHeader
  // ...other variables

  export function hideHeader() {
   // ...function's body
  }
</script>

<script>
  // ...some JavaScript code
</script>

<style>
  /*...some styles */
</style>

<header>
  <!-- some dom -->
</header>

To see the full code you can go to my repo Header.svelte

The same code works with the svelte version 3.15.0
The bug appears when I require the exported functions in the script module with svelte 3.16.0.

Example:

// Some other module

import { hideHeader } from 'Header.svelte';

@rootasjey What did you upgrade from? What's the latest version that works?

Is it possible to create a REPL to demonstrate the issue?

[Conduitry]

The root of the matter seems to be:

<script context='module'>
	let foo;
</script>

<div bind:this={foo}/>

I haven't checked whether this did the right thing in 3.15.0. It's somewhat weird having a binding to a module-level variable (I guess all of the instances of the component would just overwrite one another?)

@Conduitry, 3.15.0 compiles OK, at least according to REPL.

I see that it compiles okay - what I haven't checked is whether the code does the right thing.

Yeah I thought I was doing something not-classy when writing this (the module-level binding).
I can find a workaround now that you pointed the issue :)

Thanks!

svelte component script natively is module, why use syntax: "<script context="module">" ? I am a fresh man, Am I misunderstood svelte official tutorial?

@Conduitry,

In 3.15, it has the last in behavior you'd expect (though probably not a good thing)... every button in the repl below prints "Third".

https://svelte.dev/repl/623d6db3ad1242208a191c5ac1a411fc?version=3.15.0

The invalidate routine is much simpler in 3.15 than 3.16.5... for all the tests in the routine, we still miss member being undefined.

Here's some devtools info:

variable = {
hoistable: true
module: true
name: "foo"
reassigned: true
referenced: true
writable: true
}

Maybe I don't understand the use case here, but shouldn't this just be a store instead of a module level variable?

[Conduitry]

I think the broader problem here is that we shouldn't try to generate invalidation code for any module-level variables (unless we're updating it as a store). This:

diff --git a/src/compiler/compile/render_dom/Renderer.ts b/src/compiler/compile/render_dom/Renderer.ts
index 046a90b68..be9e700a0 100644
--- a/src/compiler/compile/render_dom/Renderer.ts
+++ b/src/compiler/compile/render_dom/Renderer.ts
@@ -160,6 +160,10 @@ export default class Renderer {
 			return x`${name.slice(1)}.set(${value || name})`;
 		}
 
+		if (variable && variable.module) {
+			return value;
+		}
+
 		if (
 			variable &&
 			!variable.referenced &&

seems to generate sensible code from my example component above, and doesn't break any existing tests.

[Conduitry]

Additionally, we probably shouldn't be checking the dirty bitmask for changes to module-level variables, nor should these variables even be given a bit in the bitmask, but I don't have quick fixes for those yet.

[Conduitry]

Binding to a module-level variable no longer causes a compiler error in 3.18.2.
