(fix): [engine] Properly calculate `endIndex` in `parseError` #268

Open dmmulroy opened 4 months ago

dmmulroy commented 4 months ago

Currently the parseError function in parseErrors.ts is incorrectly calculating the endIndex of each match.

The code currently is written as:

        const startIndex = message.indexOf(matchElem);
        const endIndex = startIndex ?? 0 + matchElem.length;

This causing endIndex to always equal startIndex. The use of ?? was likely used to satisfy the TypeScript compiler as indexOf can return undefined. However, since we know that matchElem will aways be in message (it comes from regexp match) it'll never actually be undefined.

This has the consequence of startIndex always being truthy and never evaluating ?? 0 + matchElem.length

This PR changes the code to:

        const startIndex = message.indexOf(matchElem) ?? 0;
        const endIndex = startIndex + matchElem.length;

In addition, I added a test for this and updated the snapshot tests. Happy to make any additional changes!
