Patch files that touch HTML/template files frequently contain the literal string </script>. Embedding such content via bare JSON.stringify() inside a <script> block lets the HTML parser close the tag early, silently aborting the entire inline script — no event listeners are registered, nothing renders, and all buttons are dead (as shown in the screenshot above).

Changes

Critical fix — safe content serialisation (getHtmlForWebview)

JSON.stringify does not escape </. Added post-processing before the content is spliced into the template:

const safeContentJson = JSON.stringify(content)
    .replace(/<\//g, '<\\/')    // prevents </script> from closing the tag
    .replace(/<!--/g, '<\\!--'); // prevents HTML comment injection

<\/ is semantically identical in JavaScript — the escaping is purely for the HTML parser.

Structured logging

  • Extension side: added logInfo() and logWarn() to PatchEditorProvider alongside the existing logError(); all write timestamped entries to the Patch Reader output channel.
  • Webview side: added logInfo/logWarn/logError helpers that forward via vscode.postMessage; the extension now handles 'log' and 'warn' message types in addition to 'error'.
  • Logging added at: editor open, asset directory resolution, view-mode and theme changes, document updates, and every failure branch in renderDiff().
  • contentChanged apply-edit path wrapped in try/catch with logging.
  • renderDiff() guards against a null diffOutput element instead of throwing uncaught.

Patch files can contain </script> (e.g. when patching HTML files).
JSON.stringify does not escape this, so the HTML parser would close the
<script> tag early, causing a silent syntax error that prevents all
JavaScript from executing — resulting in a blank view with non-functional
tab and button clicks.

Fix: escape '</' as '<\/' (and '<!--' as '<\!--') in the serialised
content before embedding it in the script block. These replacements keep
the JavaScript string value identical at runtime while being opaque to
the HTML parser.

Also:
- Add logInfo/logWarn methods alongside the existing logError
- Add webview-side logInfo/logWarn/logError helpers that forward to the
  VS Code output channel via postMessage
- Handle 'log' and 'warn' message types in resolveCustomTextEditor
- Wrap contentChanged apply-edit in try/catch with logging
- Add lifecycle logging: editor open, asset resolution, view mode
  changes, document updates, theme changes, and all renderDiff failure
  paths
- Guard renderDiff against a null diffOutput element

经过完整代码审查,本次提交(fix: remove hasValidBlocks guard; add HighContrastLight theme; null-safe bindEvents; catch init errors)修复了以下问题:

  1. 移除了过严的 hasValidBlocks 检查 — 该检查会错误地拒绝 diff2html 能解析但没有行级变更块的合法补丁(如二进制文件变更、文件权限变更、空文件新增)。之前这类补丁会导致 Visual 标签页显示"No valid diff blocks found"。

  2. bindEvents() 加了空值守卫 — 为 contentOutput.addEventListener 添加 if (contentOutput) 检查。若该元素未挂载到 DOM,之前会直接抛出异常并中断事件注册(导致所有按钮失效)。

  3. applyTheme() 补充了 case 4(HighContrast Light 主题) — 之前缺少该分支,使用该主题时不会添加任何样式类,造成显示异常。

  4. init() 调用外包了 try/catch — 任何初始化阶段的意外异常现在都会在 Visual 标签页显示错误提示,而不是静默失败、页面空白。

如果以上修复后问题仍然存在,请提供所使用补丁文件的前几行内容,以便进一步排查。

Found and fixed the real root cause. The entire webview client script is embedded inside a TypeScript template literal, so single \n escape sequences in stripGitPatchFooter were turned into real newlines in the generated JavaScript. That broke a // comment (leaving 2.43.0 as bare code → SyntaxError: Unexpected number) and a '\n' string literal (unterminated string). Because these are top-level syntax errors, the whole inline <script> aborted before running — so no event listeners were attached (Content tab unclickable) and renderDiff() never ran (blank Visual tab), regardless of the patch content.

Fix: reworded the comment and changed the replacement to '\\n' so the generated JS is valid. Verified end-to-end (plain diff, an HTML diff containing </script>, and a git format-patch footer): the script runs, the diff renders, tabs switch, and content is preserved exactly. I also added a regression test that extracts the inline webview script and asserts it parses as valid JavaScript, so this class of bug is caught in CI. Addressed in cb9c… (latest commit on this branch); all 6 tests pass. 修复已完成,卡在 Visual 空白页和 Content 标签无法点击的问题已解决。

重构内容显示功能,通过diff2html 依赖来显示,而不是转换html代码来显示,现在插件完全不能用,而且问题原因也找不到,请重构本项目,实现patch文件的可视化

Move the ~350-line webview client script and all CSS out of the TypeScript
template literal into standalone media/patchViewer.js and media/patchViewer.css
loaded via webview.asWebviewUri(). The browser now receives them verbatim, so
"\n"/"</script>" escape sequences can no longer be mangled by the literal —
fixing the blank Visual tab and unresponsive Content tab.

Initial patch content is passed via a non-executable JSON data block with every
"<" escaped as \u003c, so "</script>" payloads cannot abort the viewer. Tests
now validate the shipped script parses and that content round-trips exactly.

…test

Remove the nonce from the non-executable `type="application/json"` initial-content
block (CSP script-src does not apply to data blocks) and document why. Clarify the
test comment explaining why the "<" -> "\u003c" escaping makes the extraction regex
safe against "</script>" payloads.

已重构内容显示实现。根因是整个 webview 客户端脚本(约 350 行 JS)和 CSS 都被内联在 TypeScript 模板字符串里,\n</script> 等转义序列在模板字符串阶段就被吞掉/篡改,导致生成的内联脚本语法错误、整体中止执行——所以 Visual 标签页空白、Content 标签无法点击。

现在把 webview 脚本和样式抽取为独立静态文件 media/patchViewer.jsmedia/patchViewer.css,通过 webview.asWebviewUri(...) 加载,浏览器原样接收,彻底消除这一类转义 bug。可视化仍由 diff2html 依赖渲染(Diff2Html.parse + .html)。补丁初始内容通过一个非执行的 type="application/json" 数据块传入,其中每个 < 都转义为 \u003c,因此内容里出现 </script> 也不会破坏页面。

已端到端验证:Visual 正常渲染 diff、Content 标签可点击切换、拆分/统一视图切换、文档实时更新重渲染均正常;编译、lint 与全部 7 个测试通过。见提交 7ac69e4

你指出的正是根因。media/diff2html/css/diff2html.min.cssjs/diff2html.min.js 之前被 .gitignore 忽略(media/diff2html/),只在 vscode:prepublish 阶段由 npm run copy-assets 生成——所以仓库里没有这两个文件,用源码 F5 调试或跑测试时它们也不存在,导致 Visual 面板空白。

已在 23a3857 修复:

  • .gitignore 移除该忽略并把两个 diff2html 资源文件提交进仓库(media/diff2html/),保证在源码运行、测试、打包三种场景下始终存在。
  • copy-assets 接入 pretest,让 CI 每次刷新这两个文件,与锁定的依赖版本保持一致。
  • 新增一个端到端测试(jsdom 加载真正的 diff2html.min.js + media/patchViewer.js),断言补丁确实渲染进 Visual 面板、且 Content 标签可切换,防止空白回归。

diff2html 的使用方式(Diff2Html.parse + Diff2Html.html)本身是正确的,已端到端验证;全部 8 个测试通过。
