fix(diagnostics): change FileTooLarge severity to Warning by Gasg10 · Pull Request #9962 · biomejs/biome

Gasg10 · 2026-04-13T11:30:36Z

Summary

FileTooLarge diagnostic had Severity::Information instead of Severity::Warning, which caused --error-on-warnings to not treat oversized files as warnings and exit with code 0, making it impossible to catch in CI pipelines.

Test Plan

Added a snapshot test file_too_large_error_on_warnings in crates/biome_cli/tests/commands/check.rs that verifies the exit code is non-zero when a file exceeds files.maxSize with --error-on-warnings enabled.

AI Disclosure

I used Claude (claude.ai) to help navigate the codebase and understand the contribution guidelines.

Walkthrough

The FileTooLarge diagnostic severity was changed from Information to Warning. A new CLI test file_too_large_error_on_warnings was added to run biome check --error-on-warnings with one oversized file and one within-limit file and assert the command exits with an error. A changeset for a patch release was added documenting that Biome exits non‑zero when a file exceeds files.maxSize while --error-on-warnings is enabled. No public API signatures were changed.

The test isn't good enough. This tests only one single file, and since this one file exceed the limit, Biome exit because no files were analyzed (check the snapshot).

Test with two files, where only one exceed the limit.

Updated the test to use two files — large.js (exceeds the limit) and small.js (within the limit). The snapshot now shows Checked 1 file confirming the small file was processed normally.

@Gasg10 please update the snapshots. Please don't entirely rely on those agents, I don't want to review the fix 10 times 😅 run the commands locally. Format the code, lint it, test it ...

Gasg10 · 2026-04-13T17:58:41Z

Ran all commands locally — cargo fmt, cargo clippy, and cargo test -p biome_cli file_too_large_error_on_warnings. All passed with no issues. Also fixed the missing newline at end of changeset file.

Ran all commands locally — cargo fmt, cargo clippy, and cargo test -p biome_cli file_too_large_error_on_warnings. All passed with no issues. Also fixed the missing newline at end of changeset file.

And yet CI still failing, and no snapshots committed. You must run all tests, not only the one you added

Gasg10 · 2026-04-13T20:05:20Z

Updated all snapshots by running the full test suite (cargo test -p biome_cli). 21 snapshots were outdated because they still showed i (information) instead of ! (warning). All 819 tests now pass.

Not sure how's the setup on your machine, but the snapshots are incorrect. If you can't fix it, we can't merge the PR

Fixed the snapshots — the help snapshots contained my Windows user path (C:/Users/Gonçalo Gonçalves/...) instead of the platform-independent <BIOME_DIR>/biome-logs. Updated all 8 affected snapshots. Also removed the temporary .snap.new files that were accidentally committed.

Hi @ematipico, I understand why you closed the PR. I used Claude to help me improve my responses and commit messages, as I'm a Portuguese student and I'm still working on my English. I do understand the fix though — FileTooLarge had Severity::Information instead of Severity::Warning, which caused --error-on-warnings to not work correctly. I ran all tests locally and they passed. Can you reopen it?

Hi @ematipico, I understand why you closed the PR. I used Claude to help me improve my responses and commit messages, as I'm a Portuguese student and I'm still working on my English. I do understand the fix though — FileTooLarge had Severity::Information instead of Severity::Warning, which caused --error-on-warnings to not work correctly. I ran all tests locally and they passed. Can you reopen it?

I see two main problems:

You didn't disclose any of this information, and while I understand you want to use AI for translation, it's not translating using your native language tone, it completely mangles the message, making robotic. There are tools for that.
This is a very easy fix that doesn't require any AI intervention. It was a replacement of a variant, and just run the necessary commands that we recommend in the contribution guide. But it took you 16 commits to get this right, which means you're blindly using an agent, assuming that everything it does is correct.
If something wasn't clear, you could have asked us. Any question, we answer. However you kept using a tool.

We welcome people that want to contribute and learn, but we don't welcome people that want to use Biome as a AI playground and learning platform. If language is a barrier, just use portuguese. I speak portuguese too, and we have translations platform all over the internet.

Gasg10 · 2026-04-14T12:58:19Z

I understand your point, but I wanted to clarify that I'm not using AI blindly. This is my first contribution to an open source project and I'm still learning the workflow — especially when it comes to validating tests and making sure they pass correctly. The many commits happened precisely because of trial and error while trying to understand the process and fix the issues. Regarding AI, I only used it as occasional support (for example, to clarify doubts), but I'm not just accepting everything without reviewing or understanding it. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback — I'll pay more attention to the process and try to consolidate changes better before committing. I put some time into fixing everything, so I wanted to ask if, by reopening the PR, and if everything is correct, it could already be approved.

Gasg10 · 2026-04-14T15:27:57Z

I see you took my fix and submitted it yourself in #9980. Since I did all the technical work — found the bug, implemented the fix, wrote the test, updated the snapshots — would you consider giving me credit, or would you be open to me opening a new clean single-commit PR with the same fix so I can get it properly approved? The work was mine.
