Add comprehensive plan for extending data-weave-cli native library with Go and Rust language bindings. Plan includes: - Go module with cgo FFI bindings and demos - Rust crate with extern C FFI bindings and demos - Integration tests for both languages - Gradle build tasks for automated testing - Documentation and examples Follows TDD approach with task-by-task implementation steps.
Implement channel-based output streaming (RunStreaming) and bidirectional streaming (RunTransform) for Go, and iterator-based equivalents (run_streaming, run_transform) for Rust. Both wrap the existing run_script_callback and run_script_input_output_callback FFI entry points using idiomatic patterns: Go channels with goroutines, Rust mpsc channels with spawned threads. Includes comprehensive tests for simple output, inputs, script errors, large datasets, bidirectional streaming, and input read errors. Updates README documentation with API reference and usage examples.
…cy resolution goTest and rustTest depend on nativeCompile output (headers and shared library), but Gradle's incremental build and parallel execution need explicit inputs/outputs declarations to guarantee correct ordering. - Declare nativeCompile outputs.dir in both root and native-lib build files - Add inputs.dir to goTest and rustTest for proper up-to-date checking - Add build -> test dependency to ensure full build runs all tests - Create BUILDING.md with prerequisites, instructions, and troubleshooting - Update README.md and native-lib/README.md to reference BUILDING.md

Critical memory safety fixes for Go bindings: 1. CRITICAL: Fixed checkptr violation in Go streaming callbacks - Migrated from manual uintptr handle registry to cgo.Handle (Go 1.17+) - Eliminates race detector crashes: "pointer arithmetic computed bad pointer value" - Updated dataweave.go: replaced contextRegistry with cgo.Handle functions - Updated streaming_callbacks.go: handle conversion to *(*cgo.Handle)(ctxPtr) - All 12 tests now pass cleanly with go test -race 2. Added T: Sync bound to Rust SendPtr (lib.rs:129) - Fixed soundness issue: unsafe impl<T: Sync> Send for SendPtr<T> - Ensures wrapped types are thread-safe before allowing Send 3. Added goTestRace task to build.gradle - New Gradle task to run Go tests with race detector - Catches checkptr violations in CI - Run with: ./gradlew :native-lib:goTestRace Test results: - Go: 12/12 tests pass with -race flag (previously fatal) - Rust: 12/12 tests pass Documentation: - SECOND-REVIEW-FINDINGS.md: comprehensive bug analysis and fix guide - CLI-GAPS-AND-OPPORTUNITIES.md: CLI feature gap analysis and roadmap - FIX-SUMMARY.md: technical summary of all changes
…anguage-wrappers - Complete C bindings implementation (14 files) * Header (dataweave.h), implementation (dataweave.c) * CMakeLists.txt and Makefile build systems * 10 test cases (test_dataweave.c) * Examples (simple.c, streaming.c) * 503-line README with API reference - Architectural documentation: * FFI_CONTRACT.md: C API specification for all language bindings * LANGUAGE_WRAPPERS_SUMMARY.md: Cross-language feature comparison C bindings provide feature parity with Rust/Go/Python: - Buffered execution (dw_run) - Output streaming (dw_run_streaming) - Bidirectional streaming (dw_run_transform) - Callback-based streaming (dw_run_callback) - Explicit memory management (dw_free_* functions) - Opaque structs for ABI stability
…ing modules Extract monolithic lib.rs (586 lines) into focused modules following feat/native-lib-language-wrappers architecture while preserving all critical safety fixes from fix/rust-go-bindings: - src/ffi.rs: GraalVM types, extern "C" declarations, isolate lifecycle - src/result.rs: ExecutionResult type with decode helpers - src/streaming.rs: Callback contexts, stream iterator, transform logic - src/error.rs: Migrated to thiserror derive macros with expanded variants - src/lib.rs: Public API surface (~170 lines), re-exports, encode_inputs Critical safety invariant preserved: unsafe impl<T: Sync> Send for SendPtr<T> All 12 integration tests pass unchanged.
Documents the analysis and merge strategy for combining fix/rust-go-bindings and feat/native-lib-language-wrappers: - Functionality coverage comparison (Rust, Go, C) - Correctness analysis (build, tests, safety) - Feature completeness (packaging, docs, CI) - Code quality per language - Per-binding merge decisions with justification Key findings: - fix branch has critical memory safety fixes (Go checkptr, Rust SendPtr) - feat branch has unique C bindings and better documentation - Both branches have comprehensive test coverage - fix branch includes race detector validation (caught checkptr bug) Merge strategy: fix foundation + feat C bindings + feat Rust architecture

…rker threads (#122) Extracted from the native-bindings work in PR #119 so the fixes to the pre-existing Python binding can be reviewed and merged independently of the new C/Go/Rust bindings. - Bound the streaming/transform output queue (maxsize=512) with a timed put(timeout=30) so a slow or abandoned consumer exerts backpressure onto the native producer instead of growing an unbounded queue that can OOM. On timeout the write callback returns -1 to abort the native side. - Make the worker thread non-daemon and join with a timeout, raising DataWeaveError on timeout, so worker threads are not silently leaked when the interpreter continues.

Resolves conflicts caused by a duplicate cherry-pick of PR #115 (Node.js API). Both branch and master introduced identical initial Node.js binding files (addon.c, index.ts) plus edits to CI workflows and native-lib/build.gradle. For all 5 conflicting files, this branch already contains master's packaging, Go/Rust test tasks), so the branch version was taken. Master's two new supporting files (example_streaming.mjs, node-api-plan.md) are brought in unchanged.
The C binding implementation was using POSIX-specific headers and APIs (dlfcn.h, pthread.h) that are not available on Windows, causing build failures in GitHub Actions. Changes: - Add platform-specific includes with _WIN32 guards - Implement Windows wrapper functions for dynamic library loading (LoadLibraryA/GetProcAddress instead of dlopen/dlsym) - Implement pthread API wrappers using Windows threading primitives (Critical Sections for mutexes, Condition Variables for cond vars) - Use platform-portable types and macros (DL_HANDLE, DW_THREAD_LOCAL) - Replace all direct POSIX calls with platform-abstracted wrappers This maintains full compatibility with POSIX systems (Linux/macOS) while enabling Windows builds to succeed.

…io multi-config generator
…pport multi-config
Visual Studio generators are multi-config generators that build outputs into config-specific directories (Debug/Release) and require CTest to be invoked with the -C <config> flag to locate test executables. Without this flag, CTest fails with "Test not available without configuration".
Use shell: cmd instead of shell: bash for Rust tests on Windows to avoid Git Bash's /usr/bin/link.exe being found before Visual Studio's link.exe. This prevents the error: "linking with `link.exe` failed" where Rust finds the wrong linker. No third-party actions required - uses GitHub's built-in shell options.
On Linux/macOS, the linker expects shared libraries to follow the lib<name>.so naming convention when using -l<name>. GraalVM produces dwlib.so, but Go's -ldwlib flag looks for libdwlib.so. Create a symlink libdwlib.so -> dwlib.so (or libdwlib.dylib -> dwlib.dylib) after nativeCompile on Unix systems.
Add comprehensive implementation plan for resolving Windows Rust linker PATH conflict in GitHub Actions CI workflow. Root cause: Main build step uses 'shell: bash' on Windows, causing Git Bash's /usr/bin/link.exe to be found before Visual Studio's link.exe. Plan includes: - 5 implementation tasks with exact file paths and line numbers - Root cause analysis with evidence from CI logs - Detailed test strategy for validation - Risk assessment and rollback procedures - Alternative approaches and why they were rejected Related: https://github.com/mulesoft/data-weave-cli/actions/runs/28675742037/
Change the main build step to use 'shell: cmd' on Windows instead of 'shell: bash'. This ensures Visual Studio's link.exe is found before Git Bash's /usr/bin/link.exe, preventing Rust compilation failures. - Split 'Run Build' into OS-specific steps with appropriate shells - Remove duplicate test execution steps (tests run via build -> test task) - Move all toolchain setups (Node.js, Go, Rust, CMake) before build step - Remove -PskipNodeTests=true (Node.js now set up before build) - Apply OS-specific shell pattern to all Gradle steps - Add comments documenting the shell selection requirement Fixes: https://github.com/mulesoft/data-weave-cli/actions/runs/28675742037/
Complete review of PR #120 fixing Windows Rust linker PATH conflicts. Review covers correctness, security, code quality, and deviations from plan. Verdict: APPROVED
…ge costs - Skip regression tests on PR builds (only run on master) - Skip artifact uploads on PR builds (only upload on master) - Skip packaging steps (Go/Rust/C) on PR builds - Add stripNativeLibrary task to remove debug symbols from dwlib - Make all packaging tasks depend on symbol stripping This reduces: - PR build time by ~5-10 minutes (no regression tests) - Artifact storage by ~600MB per PR run (no uploads) - Artifact size by ~30-50% (stripped debug symbols) Estimated savings: ~$444/year in GitHub Actions storage costs
Replace 7 separate artifact uploads with 2 bundled uploads per OS: 1. CLI distro (includes embedded dwlib) - unchanged 2. Bindings bundle (Python, Node, Go, Rust, C) - new single archive Changes: - Remove individual artifact uploads for Python/Node/Go/Rust/C/dwlib - Remove master-branch conditions (upload on all builds including PRs) - Package all bindings on every build (not just master) - Bundle all language bindings into single tar.gz per OS Benefits: - Artifacts per build: 14 → 4 (2 per OS) - Still duplicates dwlib in each binding (intentional for simplicity) - Users download one bundle and extract needed bindings - No changes to packaging logic or user installation process Size impact: - Before: ~620MB total (7 artifacts × 2 OS, with stripped symbols) - After: ~400MB total (2 artifacts × 2 OS) - Reduction: ~35% (220MB saved per build) This is Option B from the separation plan - quick win with minimal complexity. Option A (full core/binding separation) can be implemented later if needed.
Move stripNativeLibrary dependency into stagePythonNativeLib registration block. The early tasks.named().configure() was trying to reference a task before it was registered. Fixes build error: Task with name 'stagePythonNativeLib' not found
…appers
Adversarial review of the FFI wrappers around the GraalVM dwlib surfaced
several confirmed defects. Each was reproduced with a red test first, fixed,
then verified end-to-end against the real dwlib.dylib in the repo.
C (dataweave.c):
- [1] join the streaming worker before freeing the stream (was detached -> UAF)
- [2] worker owns strdup'd copies of script/inputs (was caller-owned -> UAF)
- [23] guard stream->metadata read+write under the mutex
- [5]/[13] base64 rejects non-trailing '=' and invalid sextets
- [12] json_get_string unescapes standard JSON escapes
Go (dataweave.go, streaming_callbacks.go):
- [3] add idempotent StreamResult.Close() so an abandoned consumer unblocks
the write callback (doneCh was created but never closed)
- [3b] make Close() the sole owner of doneCh (worker-side close double-closed
-> panic on the documented `defer sr.Close()`)
- [21] log the offending handle before nil-ctx / negative-length callback abort
- drop a stray unused import
Python (__init__.py):
- [8] bound the output queue (maxsize=512) with a timed put for backpressure
instead of an unbounded queue that could OOM
Node (addon.c):
- [10] surface the pending JS exception message/stack before clearing it
- [T] fix a pre-existing teardown crash (unrelated to [10]): tear down the
isolate on a thread attached to it, and detach the bootstrap thread after
graal_create_isolate so teardown does not fault or hang
Adds deterministic reproductions under native-lib/*/repro and the review +
handoff docs under docs/reviews/. Verified against the real dwlib:
C 10/10, Go pass, Python 17, Node 14/14.
The rebase onto master preserved this branch's own ci.yml rework, which still carried the stale -PweaveVersion/-PweaveTestSuiteVersion/-PweaveSuiteVersion= 2.11.0-SNAPSHOT overrides that master's #123 (W-23461549) removed. Left as-is those overrides would shadow the onboarded fix and reintroduce the process-module (2.12.0) vs runtime (2.11.0-SNAPSHOT) mismatch that fails :native-cli:test. Drop the overrides from all gradlew steps so dependencies resolve to the unified gradle.properties defaults (2.12.0). Keeps this branch's other ci.yml change (dropping the dwlib.dylib upload path).

- Add __pycache__/ and *.pyc to .gitignore and remove the accidentally committed native-lib/python/src/dataweave/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-314.pyc. Compiled Python bytecode should never be tracked. - Restore the native-lib/python/src/dataweave/native/dwlib.dylib line to the "Upload native shared library" step in ci.yml. It had been dropped, which silently excluded the macOS shared library from the dwlib artifact on mac runners (upload-artifact warns but does not fail on a missing path).

The native-lib/node/repro and native-lib/python/repro folders are regression guards for the pre-existing Node and Python bindings, covering fixes that already merged to master independently (PR #121 read-callback exception, PR #122 streaming queue backpressure). They are unrelated to the new C/Go/Rust bindings this branch introduces, are not wired into any build/CI, and were intentionally excluded when the Node/Python docs were extracted (PR #126). Remove them so they do not re-land on master with this feature. The C and Go repro folders remain — they exercise the new bindings added here.
