fix(orm): stop delegate cascade delete recursion and simulate sub model cascades - #2872
ErikDakoda wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…el cascades Deleting from a delegate hierarchy whose base model has a cascade relation back into the hierarchy overflowed the stack, because the walk recursed with an ever deeper `where` without checking for matching rows. Cascade relations declared on a sub model were never walked, which left the children's base rows behind (the v3 form of zenstackhq#2102). - walk cascade relations once, at the base of the hierarchy, including relations declared on sub models, filtered by discriminator - for a delegate model, resolve the rows first (honouring `limit`), delete children by id, then delete the rows by id - look up children by foreign key when it references the parent id - track rows already being deleted, keyed by the hierarchy's base model, so cyclic data terminates - send id lists in batches to stay within parameter and depth limits - keep regular models on the relation-filter path, as before Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughDeletion handling now processes cascades through delegate models and their descendants. It tracks visited rows, batches related-row deletion, and includes end-to-end coverage for recursive, filtered, large-set, compound-ID, and access-policy cases. ChangesDelegate Cascade Deletion

109-118: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert which rows survive the filtered delete.
The assertion
toHaveLength(1)checks only the row count. Two wrong implementations would also pass it. The first deletes the unrelated task and keeps the source task and its note. That leaves one row only if the note is also removed, so this case is narrow. The second deletes the source task without cascading and deletes the wrong task. Assert the exact surviving ID instead. This guidance comes from a retrieved learning: tests of filtered deletes should check that a near-miss record is kept.Proposed fix
const task = await db.task.create({ data: {} }); await db.note.create({ data: { sourceId: task.id } }); - await db.task.create({ data: {} }); + const kept = await db.task.create({ data: {} }); await expect(db.task.deleteMany({ where: { notesAsSource: { some: {} } } })).resolves.toEqual({ count: 1, }); - expect(await itemIds()).toHaveLength(1); + expect(await itemIds()).toEqual([kept.id]);🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Fixes two bugs in the delegate cascade-delete simulation in
BaseOperationHandler.delete.Bug 1: infinite recursion
A delete overflows the stack when the base model has a cascade relation back into its own hierarchy. Example:
db.task.delete({ where: { id } })throwsRangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded, even when noNoterows exist.processDelegateRelationDeletecallsdeleteon the child model with awherethat nests one level deeper on each call. It never checks if rows match, so the recursion has no end.Bug 2: cascade relations declared on a sub model are not simulated
The walk only looks at relations declared on the model being deleted. A relation declared on a sub model, such as
Task.commentsbelow, is never walked:db.task.deleteanddb.item.deleteboth leave the comment'sItemrow as an orphan. The database deletes theCommentrow through the foreign key, but nothing deletes its base row. This is the v3 form of #2102, which #2120 fixed for v2.Fix
The walk now runs once, at the base of the hierarchy. A delete through a sub model goes straight to the base model, as before.
getDelegateCascadeRelationslists the relations to simulate. For a delegate model, it includes relations declared on its sub models. When the delete comes from a sub model, it keeps only the relations that rows of that sub model can have.needsNestedDeleteindelete.tsuses the same list.limitto that read.wherethat depends on sub-model fields or on related rows still matches the right rows.ORbranch per row). This keeps statements within the database limits on parameters and expression depth.Behavior changes
deleteManywithlimiton a delegate base model now works when sub models have cascade relations. Ondevit deleted the rows but left the children's base rows behind.task.deletewith one comment runs 5 queries, against 2 ondev. Ondevthose 2 queries leave the comment's base row behind. A delete through a sub model whose rows can't have such relations, such asnote.deleteabove, runs the same queries as ondev. A delete through the base model reads the ids first, soitem.deleteof a note runs 3 queries against 2.deleteManyon a delegate model with such relations is now a read followed by deletes by id, not one statement. A row inserted between those steps inside the transaction is not deleted.Known limits
These cases are not simulated, on
devor with this change:Performance
With 33,000 notes under one thread in the self-cascade schema,
thread.deletetakes about 15 s on SQLite. Nearly all of that time is the database checking the unindexedNote.sourceIdforeign key while it deletes theItemrows. With@@index([sourceId]), the same delete takes 188 ms on SQLite and 521 ms on PostgreSQL. Ondevthis delete overflows the stack.Tests
New
tests/e2e/orm/client-api/delegate-cascade-delete.test.ts, 14 cases in four schemas. All pass on SQLite and PostgreSQL 17:deleteManyfiltered by a sub-model fieldlimitOn current
dev, 12 of the 14 fail. The compound id and policy cases pass ondevtoo. They check that this change keepsdev's behavior there.The existing
delegate.test.ts,policy/delegate.test.ts,delete.test.ts,policy/crud/delete.test.tsandupdate.test.tspass. I ran the fulltests/e2eORM suite on this branch and ondev, for SQLite and PostgreSQL. This branch adds no new failure. I did not run MySQL.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
