Click-to-source sends empty source= and hangs because setDisabledAfterClick(true) runs before reading highlightState.dataSource

TanStack Devtools version

@tanstack/devtools-vite: 0.7.0 @tanstack/react-devtools: 0.10.5

Framework/Library version

react: 19.2.6

Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

When using the inspect hotkey (Shift+Alt+Cmd) to click a component, the request to `/__tsd/open-source?source=` is

sent with an empty source parameter, even though the clicked element has a valid data-tsd-source
attribute. The dev server then hangs the request indefinitely, so the editor never opens.

This is fully reproducible in any React app using @tanstack/react-devtools@0.10.x (which pulls in
@tanstack/devtools@0.12.2) + @tanstack/devtools-vite@0.7.0. I am seeing it across multiple projects with
similar stacks.

Versions

• @tanstack/devtools@0.12.2
• @tanstack/react-devtools@0.10.5
• @tanstack/devtools-vite@0.7.0
• vite@8.0.14, react@19.2.6, Solid (bundled via devtools)

Reproduction

1. Add @tanstack/devtools-vite to a Vite + React project with a configured editor.
2. Mount <TanStackDevtools> in the app.
3. Hold Shift+Alt+Cmd and click any rendered component.
4. Observed: Network panel shows GET /__tsd/open-source?source= (empty value), status pending forever.
   Editor never opens.
5. Expected: URL should include the clicked element's data-tsd-source, server should respond 200, editor
   should open.

I verified the clicked element has a well-formed data-tsd-source attribute (matching /^\/.+:\d+:\d+$/). On the
page tested there were 1869 such elements, 0 empty, 0 malformed.

Root cause

packages/devtools/src/.../LGFFJRYV.js (the inspect overlay component) registers this click handler:

createEventListener(document, "click", (e) => {
  if (!highlightState.element) return;
  window.getSelection()?.removeAllRanges();
  e.preventDefault();
  e.stopPropagation();
  setDisabledAfterClick(true);   // <-- step 1
  if (settings().sourceAction === "copy-path") {
    navigator.clipboard.writeText(highlightState.dataSource).catch(() => {});
    return;
  }
  const baseUrl = new URL(import.meta.env?.BASE_URL ?? "/", location.origin);
  const url = new URL(
    `__tsd/open-source?source=${encodeURIComponent(highlightState.dataSource)}`,  // <-- step 2
    baseUrl
  );
  fetch(url).catch(() => {});
});

setDisabledAfterClick(true) flips this memo:

const isActive = createMemo(
  () => isHighlightingKeysHeld() && !disabledAfterClick()
);

…which makes isActive() false, which synchronously re-runs the highlight createEffect:

createEffect(() => {
  if (!isActive()) {
    resetHighlight();   // <-- sets element=null, dataSource=""
    return;
  }
  ...
});

By the time the next line in the click handler reads highlightState.dataSource, it is "". The constructed URL
is /__tsd/open-source?source= and is sent.

Compounding server-side bug

In @tanstack/devtools-vite (utils.js), the middleware does:

if (req.url?.includes("__tsd/open-source")) {
  const source = new URLSearchParams(req.url.split("?")[1]).get("source");
  if (!source) return;                       // <-- leaves the response hanging
  const parsed = parseOpenSourceParam(source);
  if (!parsed) return;                       // <-- same
  ...
}

Both early returns omit both res.end() and next(), so the connection sits open until the browser times out.
This is why users see "pending" rather than a quick failure.

Evidence

Captured at click time on a component whose data-tsd-source attribute is
/src/routes/tournaments/$tournament_id/leaderboard.tsx:55:7:

{
  "url": "http://localhost:5173/__tsd/open-source?source=",
  "rawSource": "",
  "stack": "...at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (LGFFJRYV-DaE8v0zr.js:6195:3)"
}

reqid=101 GET http://localhost:5173/__tsd/open-source?source= [pending] in the Network panel.

The clicked element under the cursor at the same instant:

{ tag: "H1", src: "/src/routes/tournaments/$tournament_id/leaderboard.tsx:55:7" }

Suggested fix

Client (packages/devtools/.../LGFFJRYV.js): capture dataSource before mutating signals.

 createEventListener(document, "click", (e) => {
   if (!highlightState.element) return;
+  const source = highlightState.dataSource;   // capture before any setSignal
   window.getSelection()?.removeAllRanges();
   e.preventDefault();
   e.stopPropagation();
-  setDisabledAfterClick(true);
   if (settings().sourceAction === "copy-path") {
-    navigator.clipboard.writeText(highlightState.dataSource).catch(() => {});
+    navigator.clipboard.writeText(source).catch(() => {});
+    setDisabledAfterClick(true);
     return;
   }
   const baseUrl = new URL(import.meta.env?.BASE_URL ?? "/", location.origin);
-  const url = new URL(`__tsd/open-source?source=${encodeURIComponent(highlightState.dataSource)}`, baseUrl);
+  const url = new URL(`__tsd/open-source?source=${encodeURIComponent(source)}`, baseUrl);
   fetch(url).catch(() => {});
+  setDisabledAfterClick(true);
 });

Wrapping the signal write in batch(() => setDisabledAfterClick(true)) would not help here — the read happens
after the write, so the value is already reset by the time we read.

Server (packages/devtools-vite/src/utils.ts): defensively end the response on bad input instead of leaving
the socket open.

 if (req.url?.includes("__tsd/open-source")) {
   const source = new URLSearchParams(req.url.split("?")[1]).get("source");
-  if (!source) return;
+  if (!source) { res.statusCode = 400; res.end(); return; }
   const parsed = parseOpenSourceParam(source);
-  if (!parsed) return;
+  if (!parsed) { res.statusCode = 400; res.end(); return; }
   ...
 }

Workaround for users until fixed

Add this to your client entry (e.g., src/main.tsx) in dev only:

if (import.meta.env.DEV) {
  let lastSource: string | null = null;
  document.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
    if (e.shiftKey && e.altKey && (e.metaKey || e.ctrlKey)) {
      const t = document.elementFromPoint(e.clientX, e.clientY);
      const el = t?.closest?.('[data-tsd-source]') as HTMLElement | null;
      if (el) lastSource = el.getAttribute('data-tsd-source');
    }
  }, true); // capture phase: runs before the buggy handler
  const orig = window.fetch;
  window.fetch = function(input, init) {
    const url = typeof input === 'string' ? input
      : input instanceof URL ? input.href
      : (input as Request).url;
    if (typeof url === 'string' && url.endsWith('/__tsd/open-source?source=') && lastSource) {
      const fixed = url + encodeURIComponent(lastSource);
      lastSource = null;
      return orig.call(this, fixed, init);
    }
    return orig.call(this, input, init);
  };
}
