Andrew Clark fc801116c8 Detect crashes caused by Async Client Components (#27019)
Suspending with an uncached promise is not yet supported. We only
support suspending on promises that are cached between render attempts.
(We do plan to partially support this in the future, at least in certain
constrained cases, like during a route transition.)

This includes the case where a component returns an uncached promise,
which is effectively what happens if a Client Component is authored
using async/await syntax.

This is an easy mistake to make in a Server Components app, because
async/await _is_ available in Server Components.

In the current behavior, this can sometimes cause the app to crash with
an infinite loop, because React will repeatedly keep trying to render
the component, which will result in a fresh promise, which will result
in a new render attempt, and so on. We have some strategies we can use
to prevent this — during a concurrent render, we can suspend the work
loop until the promise resolves. If it's not a concurrent render, we can
show a Suspense fallback and try again at concurrent priority.

There's one case where neither of these strategies work, though: during
a sync render when there's no parent Suspense boundary. (We refer to
this as the "shell" of the app because it exists outside of any loading
UI.)

Since we don't have any great options for this scenario, we should at
least error gracefully instead of crashing the app.

So this commit adds a detection mechanism for render loops caused by
async client components. The way it works is, if an app suspends
repeatedly in the shell during a synchronous render, without committing
anything in between, we will count the number of attempts and eventually
trigger an error once the count exceeds a threshold.

In the future, we will consider ways to make this case a warning instead
of a hard error.

The error code system substitutes React's error messages with error IDs to provide a better debugging support in production. Check out the blog post here.

  • codes.json contains the mapping from IDs to error messages. This file is generated by the Gulp plugin and is used by both the Babel plugin and the error decoder page in our documentation. This file is append-only, which means an existing code in the file will never be changed/removed.
  • extract-errors.js is an node script that traverses our codebase and updates codes.json. You can test it by running yarn extract-errors. It works by crawling the build artifacts directory, so you need to have either run the build script or downloaded pre-built artifacts (e.g. with yarn download build). It works with partial builds, too.
  • transform-error-messages is a Babel pass that rewrites error messages to IDs for a production (minified) build.
