Summary

Abort the v1→v2 context upgrade before deleting views.yml when the legacy file contains content that _load_views_v1() would drop.

This follows the same migration-safety pattern as the model-columns fix in #2614: loader normalisation remains unchanged for runtime/build consumers, while the migration path performs a raw-source preflight before any write.

What failure does this repair?

_load_views_v1() intentionally filters malformed entries and returns [] for a non-list views: container. The upgrade path then migrated only the surviving views and unconditionally deleted the original views.yml.

That meant hand-edited content such as a nameless view, a bare scalar entry, or a mapping-shaped views: container could be permanently discarded with exit code 0.

Changes

  • Add _reject_malformed_v1_views() to inspect the raw v1 views.yml before migration.
  • Reject malformed views: containers, non-mapping list entries, and nameless views with UpgradeError.
  • Call the preflight from _plan_v1_to_v2(), which also makes _apply_v1_to_v2() re-check the source before the first filesystem mutation.
  • Update the existing malformed-view upgrade tests so they assert abort + source preservation instead of successful lossy migration.
  • Add regression coverage for the exact mixed valid/nameless/bare-entry case from wren context upgrade silently deletes v1 views that the loader dropped #2687.

Test plan

Wren SDK CI passes on the final commit, including:

  • lint
  • unit tests
  • MCP tests
  • UI tests
  • memory tests
  • PostgreSQL tests
  • MySQL tests

Focused regression coverage also verifies:

  • plan_upgrade() rejects malformed legacy views before changing the project.
  • The original views.yml remains intact.
  • A valid plan followed by late corruption is re-checked by apply_upgrade().
  • The model source and schema version remain unchanged when the upgrade aborts.

Duplicate check

No open PR found for #2687 / malformed v1 view upgrade data loss.

Fixes #2687

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved v1-to-v2 upgrades by validating views.yml before applying changes.
    • Rejects malformed files, duplicate YAML keys, unsupported root settings, invalid view collections, unnamed views, and non-mapping entries with a clear upgrade error.
    • Preserves source files when invalid view definitions are detected.
    • Handles empty YAML documents safely by removing only the obsolete configuration file without creating invalid view files.

Walkthrough

The v1-to-v2 migration now validates raw views.yml content before changing source files. It raises UpgradeError for malformed roots, duplicate keys, invalid collections, malformed entries, and nameless views. Tests verify rejection, empty documents, and source preservation.

Changes

Legacy view migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate legacy views before migration
core/wren/src/wren/context.py
_reject_malformed_v1_views validates raw legacy YAML. _plan_v1_to_v2 runs this validation before migration changes.
Verify rejection and source preservation
core/wren/tests/unit/test_context.py
Tests cover malformed roots, unsupported keys, duplicate keys, invalid YAML, malformed entries, and nameless views during planning and application. Empty documents remain upgradeable, and malformed sources remain unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3739e

The PR prevents lossy legacy-view migrations and preserves the original source on failure, but it is not merge-ready while the CI workflow exposes a write-capable repository credential to checked-out code and does not execute the new regression assertions before committing them.

Poem

A rabbit checks each view with care,
Before old YAML moves elsewhere.
Bad roots stop the upgrade train,
Safe sources stay on disk again.
Empty files pass with no new view—
The migration keeps its promise true.

Import UpgradeError once at module level.

The same local import with a # noqa: PLC0415 suppression repeats in four new tests (Lines 1680, 1699, 1723, 1739). A single module-level import removes all four suppressions and the _UE alias. Confirm whether the test module already imports other wren.context symbols at the top; if it does, add UpgradeError there.

Assert that the apply path created no new files.

_assert_v1_sources_unchanged checks only the four v1 source files and the schema version. It does not detect partially created output. If _apply_v1_to_v2 writes model directories before it reaches the views preflight, this test still passes and the leftover directories go unnoticed.

Add assertions that the migration targets do not exist. The same gap applies to test_apply_upgrade_v1_to_v2_rechecks_yaml_loader_errors_before_writing at Line 1744.

Consider moving _UniqueKeySafeLoader to module scope.

The class is redefined on every call to _reject_malformed_v1_views. Other v1 loaders (models/*.yml, cubes/*.yml, relationships.yml) have the same duplicate-key exposure during migration. A module-level loader that raises yaml.constructor.ConstructorError, with the caller mapping it to UpgradeError, would keep the duplicate-key check reusable and keep PyYAML-specific errors inside the YAML layer.

The current code is correct, so treat this as optional cleanup.
