It's annoying to have to try to find where it lines up with no hints.
This way when you hover over something it should be on screen.
The strategy I went with is that it scrolls to a percentage along the
scrollable axis but the two might not be exactly the same. Partially
because they have different aspect ratios but also because suspended
boundaries can shrink the document while the suspense tab needs to still
be able to show the boundaries that are currently invisible.
Add inspection button to Suspense tab which lets you select only among
Suspense nodes. It highlights all the DOM nodes in the root of the
Suspense node instead of just the DOM element you hover. The name is
inferred.

## Overview
This PR ships the View Transition APIs to `react@canary`:
- [`<ViewTransition
/>`](https://react.dev/reference/react/ViewTransition)
-
[`addTransitionType`](https://react.dev/reference/react/addTransitionType)
This means these APIs are ready for final feedback and prepare for
semver stable release.
## What this means
Shipping `<ViewTransition />` and `addTransitionType` to canary means
they have gone through extensive testing in production, we are confident
in the stability of the APIs, and we are preparing to release it in a
future semver stable version.
Libraries and frameworks following the [Canary
Workflow](https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries) should begin
implementing and testing these features.
## Why we follow the Canary Workflow
To prepare for semver stable, libraries should test canary features like
`<ViewTransition />` with `react@canary` to confirm compatibility and
prepare for the next semver release in a myriad of environments and
configurations used throughout the React ecosystem. This provides
libraries with ample time to catch any issues we missed before slamming
them with problems in the wider semver release.
Since these features have already gone through extensive production
testing, and we are confident they are stable, frameworks following the
[Canary Workflow](https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries) can
also begin adopting canary features like `<ViewTransition />`.
This adoption is similar to how different Browsers implement new
proposed browser features before they are added to the standard. If a
frameworks adopts a canary feature, they are committing to stability for
their users by ensuring any API changes before a semver stable release
are opaque and non-breaking to their users.
Apps not using a framework are also free to adopt canary features like
`<ViewTransition>` as long as they follow the [Canary
Workflow](https://react.dev/blog/2023/05/03/react-canaries), but we
generally recommend waiting for a semver stable release unless you have
the capacity to commit to following along with the canary changes and
debugging library compatibility issues.
Waiting for semver stable means you're able to benefit from libraries
testing and confirming support, and use semver as signal for which
version of a library you can use with support of the feature.

/>`](https://react.dev/reference/react/ViewTransition) and
[`addTransitionType`](https://react.dev/reference/react/addTransitionType)
for more info.
When forcing suspense/error we're doing that by scheduling a sync update
on the fiber. Resuspending a Suspense boundary can only happen sync
update so that makes sense. Erroring also forces a sync commit. This
means that no View Transitions fire.
However, unsuspending (and dismissing an error dialog) can be async so
the reveal should be able to be async.
This adds another hook for scheduling using the Retry lane. That way
when you play through a reveal sequence of Suspense boundaries (like
playing through the timeline), it'll run the animations that would've
ran during a loading sequence.

## TODO
- [x] Bump Activity docs to Canary
https://github.com/reactjs/react.dev/pull/7974

### Problem
- Users encounter “Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid base URL” when
clicking the “View source” action in DevTools if the underlying base URL
is invalid.
- This exception originates from `new URL(relative, base)` and bubbles
up, interrupting the DevTools UI.
- Fixes GitHub issue
[#34317](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/34317)
### Solution
- Wrap URL construction to:
- First try `new URL(sourceMapAt, sourceURL)`.
- If that fails, try `new URL(sourceMapAt)` as an absolute URL.
- If both fail, return `null` (no symbolication) rather than throwing.
- This preserves normal behavior for valid bases and absolute URLs,
while avoiding crashes for invalid bases.
### Implementation details
- Updated `symbolicateSource` in
`packages/react-devtools-shared/src/symbolicateSource.js` to handle
invalid base URL scenarios without throwing.
- Added/verified tests in
`packages/react-devtools-shared/src/__tests__/utils-test.js`:
- “should not throw for invalid base URL with relative source map” →
resolves to `null`.
- “should resolve absolute source map even if base URL is invalid” →
still resolves correctly.
### Test plan
- Lint/format:
- `yarn prettier-check`
- `yarn linc`
- Type checking:
- `yarn flow dom-node`
- Unit tests:
- `yarn test --watchAll=false utils-test`
- Optionally: `yarn test --watchAll=false utils-test inspectedElement`
- All of the above pass locally for experimental channel.
### Risks and rollout
- Risk: Low. Only affects cases where the base URL is invalid.
- Normal cases (valid base or absolute `sourceMappingURL`) are
unchanged.
- No user-facing API changes; DevTools UX becomes more resilient.
### Affected packages
- `react-devtools-shared`
### Related
- Fixes GitHub issue
[#34317](https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/34317)
### Checklist
- [x] Ran `yarn prettier-check`
- [x] Ran `yarn linc`
- [x] Ran `yarn flow dom-node`
- [x] Relevant unit tests passing
- [x] Linked issue and added a concise summary

Similar to #34144 but for `use()`.
`use()` dependencies don't get added to the `fiber._debugInfo` set
because that just models the things blocking the children, and not the
Fiber component itself. This picks up any debug info from the thenable
state that we stashed onto `_debugThenableState` so that we know it used
`use()`.

/>
Without #34146 this doesn't pick up uninstrumented promises but after
it, it'll pick those up as well. An instrumented promise that doesn't
have anything in its debug info is not picked up. For example, if it
didn't depend on any I/O on the server.
This doesn't yet pick up the stack trace of the `use()` call. That
information is in the Hooks information but needs a follow up to extract
it.
This shows the stack trace of the JSX at each level so now you can also
jump to the code location for the JSX callsite. The visual is similar to
the owner stacks with `createTask` except when you click the `<...>` you
jump to the Instance in the Components panel.

/>
I'm not sure it's really necessary to have all the JSX stacks of every
owner. We could just have it for the current component and then the rest
of the owners you could get to if you just click that owner instance.
As a bonus, I also use the JSX callsite as the fallback for the "View
Source" button. This is primarily useful for built-ins like `<div>` and
`<Suspense>` that don't have any implementation to jump to anyway. It's
useful to be able to jump to where a boundary was defined.
With RSC it's common to get React.lazy objects in the children position.
This first formats them nicely.
Then it adds introspection support for both lazy and elements.
Unfortunately because of quirks with the hydration mechanism we have to
expose it under the name `_payload` instead of something direct. Also
because the name "type" is taken we can't expose the type field on an
element neither. That whole algorithm could use a rewrite.

/>
For JSX an alternative or additional feature might be instead to jump to
the first Instance that was rendered using that JSX. We know that based
on the equality of the memoizedProps on the Fiber. It's just a matter of
whether we do that eagerly or more lazily when you click but you may not
have a match so would be nice to indicate that before you click.
Stacked on #34101.
This adds a badge to owners if they are different from the currently
selected component's environment.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e898254f-1b4c-498e-8713-978d90545340"
/>
We also add one to the end of stack traces if the stack trace has a
different environment than the owner which can happen when you call a
function (without rendering a component) into a third party environment
but the owner component was in the first party.
One awkward thing is that Suspense boundaries are always in the client
environment so their Server Components are always badged.
Stacked on #34093.
Instead of using the original `ReactStackTrace` that has the call sites
on the server, this parses the `Error` object which has the virtual call
sites on the client. We'll need this technique for things stack traces
suspending on the client anyway like `use()`.
We can then use these callsites to source map in the front end.
We currently don't source map function names but might be useful for
this use case as well as getting original component names from prod.
One thing this doesn't do yet is that it doesn't ignore list the stack
traces on the client using the source map's ignore list setting. It's
not super important since we expect to have already ignore listed on the
server but this will become important for client stack traces like
`use()`.
We'll need complete parsing of stack traces for both owner stacks and
async debug info so we need to expand the stack parsing capabilities a
bit. This refactors the source location extraction to use some helpers
we can use for other things too.
This is a fork of `ReactFlightStackConfigV8` which also supports
DevTools requirements like checking both `react_stack_bottom_frame` and
`react-stack-bottom-frame` as well as supporting Firefox stacks.
It also supports extracting the first frame of a component stack or the
last frame of an owner stack for the source location.
This is modeling Offscreen boundaries as the thing that unmounts a tree
in the frontend. This will let us model this as a "hide" that preserves
state instead in a follow up but not yet.
By doing it this way, we don't have to special case suspended Suspense
boundaries, at least not for the modern versions that use Offscreen as
the internal node. It's still special cased for the old React versions.
Instead, this is handled by the Offscreen fiber getting hidden.
By giving this fiber an FilteredFiberInstance, we also have somewhere to
store the children on (separately from the parent children set which can
include other siblings too like the loading state).
One consequence is that Activity boundary content now disappears when
they're hidden which is probably a good thing since otherwise it would
be confusing and noisy when it's used to render multiple pages at once.
The `useOpenResource` hook is now used to open links. Currently, the
`<>` icon for the component stacks and the link in the bottom of the
components stack. But it'll also be used for many new links like stacks.
If this new option is configured, and this is a local file then this is
opened directly in the external editor. Otherwise it fallbacks to open
in the Sources tab or whatever the standalone or inline is configured to
use.
<img width="453" height="252" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-24 at 4 09 09 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/04cae170-dd30-4485-a9ee-e8fe1612978e"
/>
I prominently surface this option in the Source pane to make it
discoverable.
<img width="588" height="144" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-24 at 4 03 48 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0f3a7da9-2fae-4b5b-90ec-769c5a9c5361"
/>
When this is configured, the "Open in Editor" is hidden since that's
just the default. I plan on deprecating this button to avoid having the
two buttons going forward.
Notably there's one exception where this doesn't work. When you click an
Action or Event listener it takes you to the Sources tab and you have to
open in editor from there. That's because we use the `inspect()`
mechanism instead of extracting the source location. That's because we
can't do the "throw trick" since these can have side-effects. The Chrome
debugger protocol would solve this but it pops up an annoying dialog. We
could maybe only attach the debugger only for that case. Especially if
the dialog disappears before you focus on the browser again.
In RSC and other stacks now we use a lot of `ReactFunctionLocation` type
to represent the location of a function. I.e. the location of the
beginning of the function (the enclosing line/col) that is represented
by the "Source" of the function. This is also what the parent Component
Stacks represents.
As opposed to `ReactCallSite` which is what normal stack traces and
owner stacks represent. I.e. the line/column number of the callsite into
the next function.
We can start sharing more code by using the `ReactFunctionLocation` type
to represent the component source location and it also helps clarify
which ones are function locations and which ones are callsites as we
start adding more stack traces (e.g. for async debug info and owner
stack traces).
This PR separates Activity to it's own element type separate from
Offscreen. The goal is to allow us to add Activity element boundary
semantics during hydration similar to Suspense semantics, without
impacting the Offscreen behavior in suspended children.

When using React Devtools, calling `console.log('%s', null)` in userland

See https://github.com/47ng/nuqs/issues/808.
Stacked on https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/31892, see commit on
top.
For some reason, there were 2 fields different fields for essentially
same thing: `selectedElementID` and `inspectedElementID`. Basically, the
change is:
```
selectedElementID -> inspectedElementID
selectedElementIndex -> inspectedElementIndex
```
I have a theory that it was due to previously used async approach around
element inspection, and the whole `InspectedElementView` was wrapped in
`Suspense`.
We currently have a failing test for React DevTools against React 17.
This started failing in https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/30899,
where we changed logic for error tracking and started relying on
`onPostCommitFiberRoot` hook.
Looking at https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/21183,
`onPostCommitFiberRoot` was shipped in 18, which means that any console
errors / warnings emitted in passive effects won't be recorded by React
DevTools for React < 18.
## Summary
This PR improves the Trace Updates feature by letting developers see
component names directly on the update overlay. Before this change, the
overlay only highlighted updated regions, leaving it unclear which
components were involved. With this update, you can now match visual
updates to their corresponding components, making it much easier to
debug rendering performance.
### New Feature: Show component names while highlighting
When the new **"Show component names while highlighting"** setting is
enabled, the update overlay display the names of affected components
above the rectangles, along with the update count. This gives immediate
context about what’s rendering and why. The preference is stored in
local storage and synced with the backend, so it’s remembered across
sessions.
### Improvements to Drawing Logic
The drawing logic has been updated to make the overlay sharper and
easier to read. Overlay now respect device pixel ratios, so they look
great on high-DPI screens. Outlines have also been made crisper, which
makes it easier to spot exactly where updates are happening.
> [!NOTE]
> **Grouping Logic and Limitations**
> Updates are grouped by their screen position `(left, top coordinates)`
to combine overlapping or nearby regions into a single group. Groups are
sorted by the highest update count within each group, making the most
frequently updated components stand out.
> Overlapping labels may still occur when multiple updates involve
components that overlap but are not in the exact same position. This is
intentional, as the logic aims to maintain a straightforward mapping
between update regions and component names without introducing
unnecessary complexity.
### Testing
This PR also adds tests for the new `groupAndSortNodes` utility, which
handles the logic for grouping and sorting updates. The tests ensure the
behavior is reliable across different scenarios.

## Summary
We have been getting unhandled `TypeError: Cannot convert object to
primitive value` errors in development that only occur when using
devtools. I tracked it down to `console.error()` calls coming from
Apollo Client where one of the arguments is an object without a
prototype (created with `Object.create(null)`). This causes
`formatConsoleArgumentsToSingleString()` in React's devtools to error as
the function does not defend against `String()` throwing an error.
My attempted fix is to introduce a `safeToString` function (naming
suggestions appreciated) which expects `String()` to throw on certain
object and in that case falls back to returning `[object Object]`, which
is what `String({})` would return.
## How did you test this change?
Added a new unit test.
