Summary

This fixes a documentation-conversion failure that blocked the consuming patternfly-org API documentation build.

Some docs—specifically the @patternfly/chatbot demo—combine an external component import with file-backed examples using the same names:

import Chatbot, { ChatbotDisplayMode } from '@patternfly/chatbot/dist/dynamic/Chatbot'

The converter then generates raw imports for Chatbot.tsx and ChatbotDisplayMode.tsx. The previous import matcher did not remove the compound external import, leaving duplicate bindings in generated MDX and causing:

[@mdx-js/rollup] Could not parse import/exports with acorn
Identifier 'Chatbot' has already been declared

This does not change API schemas or endpoint contracts; it ensures the existing documentation content can be converted and indexed successfully.

What changed

  • Replace the overly broad import matcher with explicit handling for:
    • default imports
    • named and aliased named imports
    • combined default + named imports
    • multiline imports
    • type-only imports
  • Continue preserving relative imports and CSS imports.
  • Remove matching external imports before generating <LiveExample> raw imports.
  • Add focused regression coverage for the real Chatbot collision pattern and related import shapes.

Why this is intentionally narrow

This is a surgical conversion fix, not a general-purpose TypeScript/MDX import parser.

Known edge cases—such as namespace imports, which are intentionally preserved, and absolute imports inside fenced code blocks, which may still be rewritten—remain outside this change because they are not present in the failing consumer input. Supporting them would broaden scope and risk without unblocking the current API build.

Validation

  • npm run build:cli
  • npm test -- --runInBand cli/__tests__/convertToMDX.test.ts
    • 36 tests passed
  • Focused ESLint check for changed files
  • Full patternfly-org consumer build under Node 22 / Yarn 4:
    • yarn ci:build:doc-core
    • passed using the patched local doc-core checkout
    • generated Chatbot MDX contains only the intended raw example imports
    • no duplicate Chatbot or ChatbotDisplayMode bindings remain

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Removed existing absolute, non-CSS imports—including TypeScript type imports—when converting content to MDX. Relative and CSS imports are preserved.
    • Improved handling of combined and aliased imports to prevent conflicts with generated example imports.

Walkthrough

The converter now removes supported absolute non-CSS imports with default, named, combined, or type-only bindings. Relative and CSS imports remain. Tests cover these cases and document current limitations.

Changes

Absolute Import Removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Match and remove supported imports
cli/convertToMDX.ts, cli/__tests__/convertToMDX.test.ts
The import matcher now handles default, named, combined, and optional type-only bindings. Tests cover retained relative and CSS imports, multiline imports, generated example imports, and documented limitations.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: wise-king-sullyman

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 41cf3

CRLF documentation can still fail to build because of duplicate imports, while CSS query imports can lose bindings they use. Fix both cases before merging.

* cli/convertToMDX, replace the broad import matcher with explicit handling for absolute non-CSS default, named, compound, multiline, and type-only imports before generating LiveExample raw imports
* cli/convertToMDX, preserve relative and CSS imports so local assets and stylesheet imports remain available to MDX
* cli/__tests__/convertToMDX, add import-shape coverage for default, named, aliased, compound, multiline, type-only, relative, and CSS imports
* cli/__tests__/convertToMDX, add the Chatbot regression case proving compound imports are removed before Chatbot and ChatbotDisplayMode raw-example imports are generated
* tests, document current fenced-code and namespace-import limitations as intentional scope boundaries for this surgical fix

- Line 88: Update the absoluteNonCssModule pattern to exclude CSS imports whose
.css extension is followed by an optional query suffix, such as ?url or ?inline,
so the converter preserves their bindings. Add a test covering a bound absolute
CSS import with a query suffix.
- Line 94: Update the import-matching regular expression used by
handleTsExamples to accept an optional carriage return before the newline, and
cover the CRLF collision case where a compound external import duplicates
bindings in generated raw imports.
