Description

Fixed an issue in extractHostname where IPv6 URLs (e.g. http://[::1]:3000 or http://[2001:db8::1]:8080) were truncated to a single opening square bracket ("[") because port stripping was splitting on the first colon. Also updated LOCALHOST_ADDRESSES to include IPv6 loopback addresses (::1, [::1], ::, [::]) with O(1) Set lookup.

  • Handled bracketed IPv6 address extraction and port stripping in extractHostname.
  • Supported IPv6 loopback in isLocalhost with Set.has().
  • Added a comprehensive unit test suite in @plane/utils testing all URL utilities.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

N/A (URL parsing logic & utility fix)

Test Scenarios

  • Added 20 unit tests in packages/utils/tests/url.test.ts covering:
    • extractHostname with standard URLs, ports, auth credentials, and IPv6 addresses.
    • isLocalhost with IPv4, IPv6 loopback ([::1], ::1, [::]), and public URLs.
    • formatURLForDisplay with IPv6 URLs and standard URLs.
    • extractTLD, validateIPAddress, extractURLComponents, and isValidNextPath.
  • Ran pnpm --filter=@plane/utils test (20/20 tests passed).
  • Ran full workspace checks: pnpm turbo run build test check:types check:lint check:format (All 67 tasks passed with 0 errors).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved hostname extraction for empty, invalid, trimmed, and credential-containing inputs.
    • Correctly preserves IPv6 addresses while removing ports, paths, queries, and fragments.
    • Expanded localhost detection to support IPv6 loopback and unspecified-address formats.
    • Improved handling of URL parsing, IP validation, display formatting, and safe redirect paths.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive automated coverage for URL utilities, including edge cases and potentially unsafe redirect patterns.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The URL utilities now recognize IPv6 localhost forms, validate and trim hostname input, and preserve IPv6 hostnames during port handling. The utils package adds Vitest execution support and comprehensive URL utility tests.

Changes

URL utility behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hostname and localhost handling
packages/utils/src/url.ts
LOCALHOST_ADDRESSES uses a Set with IPv6 loopback and unspecified-address forms. extractHostname validates input, trims whitespace, removes URL suffixes, and handles bracketed and unbracketed IPv6 addresses.
Vitest setup and URL utility coverage
packages/utils/package.json, packages/utils/tests/url.test.ts
The package adds a Vitest test script and development dependency. Tests cover hostname parsing, localhost detection, URL formatting, IP validation, component parsing, and safe redirect paths.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a3b2a

The PR fixes IPv6 hostname and localhost handling with comprehensive tests and passing workspace checks; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains, aside from a minor follow-up to add a direct test for the unbracketed :: form.

Test the unbracketed IPv6 unspecified address.

LOCALHOST_ADDRESSES includes "::", but this suite only tests "[::]". Add a direct assertion for isLocalhost("::").

Proposed test
   expect(isLocalhost("::1")).toBe(true);
+  expect(isLocalhost("::")).toBe(true);
   expect(isLocalhost("[::]")).toBe(true);

As per coding guidelines, “All features require unit tests using the existing test framework per package.”
