Analysis / Root cause:

The React Compiler ESLint rule react-hooks/refs warns when a ref's .current property is read or written during render. The React Compiler needs refs to be stable across renders and only accessed in effects or event handlers. This PR addresses these warnings across the console codebase.

Subtask of OCPBUGS-112724

Solution description:

Three fix strategies applied based on the pattern:

  1. Ref sync pattern (ref.current = value in render body): Moved to useEffect(() => { ref.current = value; }). This is the most common pattern — used to keep refs in sync with latest props/state for stable callbacks. Applied in 20+ files.

  2. DOM ref reads in JSX (appendTo={containerRef.current}): Changed to callback form (appendTo={() => containerRef.current}) so the ref is read lazily when needed, not eagerly during render.

  3. Intentional render-time access (lazy initialization, custom memoization, usePrevious): Added eslint-disable with explanatory comments. These patterns intentionally read/write refs during render for correctness (e.g., synchronous visualization initialization, custom memoization that can't use useMemo).

  4. Ref reads in closures: Moved ref.current reads from component body into the callbacks that actually use them (e.g., CodeEditorSidebar).

Screenshots / screen recording:
N/A — no visual changes. This is a lint/code quality fix only.

Test setup:
No special setup required.

Test cases:

  • yarn lint passes with updated MAX_WARNINGS count
  • yarn test passes with no regressions
  • All existing functionality works as before (ref sync via useEffect fires after render, which is when callbacks that read the refs are invoked)

Browser conformance:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari (or Epiphany on Linux)

Additional info:

  • MAX_WARNINGS in frontend/package.json may need adjustment once CI reports the exact new warning count
  • Files modified: 31
  • Warnings addressed: combination of fixes (moved to effects) and intentional suppressions (eslint-disable with explanation)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved component stability by keeping callbacks and references synchronized with current data.
    • Improved dropdown and pop-up placement when container elements become available.
    • Improved editor actions and log-stream tracking reliability.
  • Refactor

    • Refined callback, query parameter, preference, terminal, and table data handling across render and effect lifecycles.
  • Chores

    • Added targeted lint guidance for intentional reference access patterns.

…ender)

Move ref.current writes from render body into useEffect to comply
with React Compiler's react-hooks/refs rule. For intentional
render-time ref access patterns (lazy initialization, custom
memoization, usePrevious), add eslint-disable with explanatory
comments.

Fix patterns applied:
- Ref sync (ref.current = value) moved to useEffect
- DOM ref reads in JSX props changed to callback form
- Render-path ref reads in callbacks moved inside the callback
- Ref reads in useState initializers replaced with direct values

Walkthrough

The changes move selected render-time ref assignments to effects, preserve required synchronous ref access, resolve selected values lazily, and replace Shipwright resource tracking with state. Several lint suppressions document intentional ref access.

Changes

React ref lifecycle updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Post-render ref synchronization
frontend/packages/console-app/..., frontend/packages/console-shared/..., frontend/packages/dev-console/..., frontend/packages/webterminal-plugin/..., frontend/public/...
Selected refs now update in effects after render. This includes callback, query, preference, namespace, terminal, and asynchronous operation refs.
Timing-sensitive state and data updates
frontend/packages/console-app/src/components/nodes/NodeTerminal.tsx, frontend/packages/shipwright-plugin/src/components/logs/*, frontend/public/components/debug-terminal.tsx, frontend/public/components/factory/*
Layout effects preserve pre-paint terminal updates. Shipwright resource tracking uses state. Table data remains synchronous where measurement requires current values.
Lazy container and editor resolution
frontend/packages/console-shared/src/components/actions/menu/ActionMenu.tsx, frontend/packages/console-shared/src/components/dropdown/dropdown-with-switch/DropdownWithSwitchToggle.tsx, frontend/packages/console-shared/src/components/namespace/NamespaceMenuToggle.tsx, frontend/packages/console-shared/src/components/editor/CodeEditorSidebar.tsx
Popper containers resolve through callbacks. Editor callbacks read the current editor from editorRef.
Intentional render-time ref access
frontend/packages/console-dynamic-plugin-sdk/..., frontend/packages/console-plugin-sdk/..., frontend/packages/console-shared/src/components/markdown/MarkdownView.tsx, frontend/packages/helm-plugin/..., frontend/packages/topology/..., frontend/public/components/poll-console-updates.tsx, frontend/public/components/utils/async.tsx
Targeted react-hooks/refs suppressions document existing ref reads and writes required for memoization, previous-value access, and synchronous lazy initialization.

Hi @platex-rehor-bot. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Tip

We noticed you've done this a few times! Consider joining the org to skip this step and gain /lgtm and other bot rights. We recommend asking approvers on your previous PRs to sponsor you.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Inline comments:
In `@frontend/packages/console-app/src/components/nodes/NodeTerminal.tsx`:
- Around line 196-198: Update the detachedSessionsRef synchronization in
NodeTerminal so it occurs before passive effect cleanup, ensuring cleanup reads
the current session list when nodeName or isWindows changes. Preserve the
existing cleanup behavior and add a regression test covering the batched update.

In
`@frontend/packages/shipwright-plugin/src/components/logs/LogsWrapperComponent.tsx`:
- Line 40: Update the condition in the effect using resource and obj so it
verifies resource exists before accessing resource.name or tracking obj.
Preserve the existing loaded, error, and metadata-name matching checks for
present resources.
- Around line 33-45: The useEffect that updates trackedResource must clear or
derive it when resource.name changes, before the new pod watch has loaded, so
MultiStreamLogs never receives the previous pod. Track the current request
identity alongside trackedResource or reset it when the requested name differs,
while preserving the existing successful-load and error handling in the effect.

In `@frontend/public/components/debug-terminal.tsx`:
- Around line 126-128: Update the detachedSessionsRef synchronization in the
component’s useEffect flow to occur during the layout phase, ensuring cleanup
reads the latest session list when detachedSessions and its cleanup dependency
change together; preserve cleanup behavior and add regression coverage for both
values changing in one update.

In `@frontend/public/components/factory/table.tsx`:
- Around line 238-240: Update VirtualBody’s dataRef synchronization so it is
current before CellMeasurerCache.rowHeight measurement, avoiding stale row
identities when a new row replaces an existing index. Synchronize dataRef during
render or invalidate affected cache entries when row identities change, while
preserving VirtualTableBody’s existing measurement behavior.

In `@frontend/public/components/factory/Table/VirtualizedTableBody.tsx`:
- Around line 65-67: Update VirtualizedTableBody so dataRef reflects the current
data before VirtualTableBody measurement and CellMeasurerCache keyMapper access,
replacing the passive useEffect timing or invalidating affected entries when row
identities change. Ensure the related table.ts site at lines 238-240 remains
consistent with this cache-update behavior, and add a regression test covering
replacement of a row at an existing index.

OCPBUGS-113747

- Restore render-time dataRef assignment in VirtualizedTableBody and
  VirtualBody with eslint-disable — keyMapper reads it synchronously
  during render for cache key resolution
- Use useLayoutEffect for detachedSessionsRef sync in DebugTerminal
  and NodeTerminal so passive effect cleanups read current sessions
- Guard optional resource before dereferencing in LogsWrapperComponent
  and reset trackedResource on resource change to prevent stale data
