`ts.server.ServerHost.resolvePath()` is different from Angular's
`FileSystem.resolve()` because the signature of the former is
```ts
resolvePath(path: string): string; // ts.server.ServerHost
```
whereas the signature of the latter is
```ts
resolve(...paths: string[]): AbsoluteFsPath; // FileSystem on compiler-cli
```
The current implementation calls `path.join()` to concatenate all the input
paths and pass the result to `ts.server.ServerHost.resolvePath()`, but doing
so results in filenames like
```
/foo/bar/baz/foo/bar/baz/tsconfig.json
```
if both input paths are absolute.
`ts.server.ServerHost` should not be used to implement the
`resolve()` method expected by Angular's `FileSystem`.
We should use Node's `path.resolve()` instead, which will correctly collapse
the absolute paths.

When resolving references, the Ivy compiler has a few strategies it could use.
For relative path, one of strategies is [`RelativePathStrategy`](
https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/packages/compiler-cli/src/
ngtsc/imports/README.md#relativepathstrategy). This strategy
relies on `compilerOptions.rootDir` and `compilerOptions.rootDirs` to perform
the resolution, but language service only passes `rootDirs` to the compiler,
and not `rootDir`.
In reality, `rootDir` is very different from `rootDirs` even though they
sound the same.
According to the official [TS documentation][1],
> `rootDir` specifies the root directory of input files. Only use to control
> the output directory structure with --outDir.
> `rootDirs` is a list of root folders whose combined content represent the
> structure of the project at runtime. See [Module Resolution documentation](
> https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/
> module-resolution.html#virtual-directories-with-rootdirs)
> for more details.
For now, we keep the behavior between compiler and language service consistent,
but we will revisit the notion of `rootDir` and how it is used later.

Given the template
`<div (click)="doSomething($event)"></div>`
If you request references for the `$event`, the results include both `$event` and `(click)="doSomething($event)"`.
This happens because in the TCB, `$event` is passed to the `subscribe`/`addEventListener`
function as an argument. So when we ask typescript to give us the references, we
get the result from the usage in the subscribe body as well as the one passed in as an argument.

This commit fixes an issue in the ivy native language service
that caused the logic that finds a target node given a template
position to throw away the results. This happened because the
source span of a variable node in the shorthand structural
directive syntax (i.e. `*ngIf=`) included the entire binding.
The result was that we would add the variable node to the path and then
later detect that the cursor was outside the key and value spans and
throw away the whole result. In general, we do this because we do not
want to show information when the cursor is between a key/value
(`inputA=¦"123"`). However, when using the shorthand syntax, we run into
the situation where we can match an `AttributeBinding` as well as the
vaariable in `*ngIf="som¦eValue as myLocalVar"`. This commit updates the
visitor to retain enough information in the visit path to throw away
invalid targets but keep valid ones if there were multiple results on a
`t.Element` or `t.Template`.

where the type checking context stores the parse errors. Previously, we
stored them on the AnalysisOutput this commit changes the errors to be
stored on the TemplateData (which is a property on the shim). That way,
the template parse errors can be grouped by template.
Previously, if a template had a parse error, we poisoned the module and
would not procede to find typecheck errors. This change does not poison
modules whose template have typecheck errors, so that ngtsc can emit
typecheck errors for templates with parse errors.
Additionally, all template diagnostics are produced in the same place.
This allows requesting just the template template diagnostics or just
other types of errors.

This comit adds support for autocompletion of attributes that create
structural directives. Such completions differ from those of normal
attributes, as the structural directive syntax creates a synthetic
<ng-template> node which has different attributes from the main element.
PR Close#40032
This commit adds attribute completion to the Language Service. It completes
from 3 sources:
1. inputs/outputs of directives currently present on the element
2. inputs/outputs/attributes of directives in scope for the element, that
would become present if the input/output/attribute was added
3. DOM properties and attributes
We distinguish between completion of a property binding (`[foo|]`) and a
completion in an attribute context (`foo|`). For the latter, bindings to
the attribute are offered, as well as a property binding which adds the
square bracket notation.
To determine hypothetical matches (directives which would become present if
a binding is added), directives in scope are scanned and matched against a
hypothetical version of the element which has the attribute.

Projects opened in the LS are often larger in scope than the compilation
units seen by the compiler when actually building. For example, in the LS
it's not uncommon for the project to include both application as well as
test files. This can create issues when the combination of files results
in errors that are not otherwise present - for example, if test files
have inline NgModules that re-declare components (a common Angular pattern).
Such code is valid when compiling the app only (test files are excluded, so
only one declaration is seen by the compiler) or when compiling tests only
(since tests run in JIT mode and are not seen by the AOT compiler), but when
both sets of files are mixed into a single compilation unit, the compiler
sees the double declaration as an error.
This commit attempts to mitigate the problem by forcing the compiler flag
`compileNonExportedClasses` to `false` in a LS context. When tests contain
duplicate declarations, often such declarations are inline in specs and not
exported from the top level, so this flag can be used to greatly improve the
IDE experience.

The TCB utility functions used to find nodes in the TCB are currently
configured to ignore results when an ignore marker is found. However,
these ignore markers are only meant to affect diagnostics requests. The

generic directives. The reference appears to the generic directive's
class appears on the type ctor in the TCB, which is ignored for
diagnostic purposes.

context of a larger request for _diagnostics_. In all other cases, we

In the past, the legacy (VE-based) language service would use a
`UrlResolver` instance to resolve file paths, primarily for compiler
resources like external templates. The problem with this is that the
UrlResolver is designed to resolve URLs in general, and so for a path
like `/a/b/#c`, `#c` is treated as hash/fragment rather than as part
of the path, which can lead to unexpected path resolution (f.x.,
`resolve('a/b/#c/d.ts', './d.html')` would produce `'a/b/d.html'` rather
than the expected `'a/b/#c/d.html'`).
This commit resolves the issue by using Node's `path` module to resolve
file paths directly, which aligns more with how resources are resolved
in the Ivy compiler.
The testing story here is not great, and the API for validating a file
path could be a little bit prettier/robust. However, since the VE-based
language service is going into more of a "maintenance mode" now that
there is a clear path for the Ivy-based LS moving forward, I think it is
okay not to spend too much time here.

When the compiler is invoked via ngc or the Angular CLI, its APIs are used
under the assumption that Angular analysis/diagnostics are only requested if
the program has no TypeScript-level errors. A result of this assumption is
that the incremental engine has not needed to resolve changes via its
dependency graph when the program contained broken imports, since broken
imports are a TypeScript error.
The Angular Language Service for Ivy is using the compiler as a backend, and
exercising its incremental compilation APIs without enforcing this
assumption. As a result, the Language Service has run into issues where
broken imports cause incremental compilation to fail and produce incorrect
results.
This commit introduces a mechanism within the compiler to keep track of
files for which dependency analysis has failed, and to always treat such
files as potentially affected by future incremental steps. This is tested
via the Language Service infrastructure to ensure that the compiler is doing
the right thing in the case of invalid imports.
PR Close#39923
To avoid overwhelming a user with secondary diagnostics that derive from a
"root cause" error, the compiler has the notion of a "poisoned" NgModule.
An NgModule becomes poisoned when its declaration contains semantic errors:
declarations which are not components or pipes, imports which are not other
NgModules, etc. An NgModule also becomes poisoned if it imports or exports
another poisoned NgModule.
Previously, the compiler tracked this poisoned status as an alternate state
for each scope. Either a correct scope could be produced, or the entire
scope would be set to a sentinel error value. This meant that the compiler
would not track any information about a scope that was determined to be in
error.
This method presents several issues:
1. The compiler is unable to support the language service and return results
when a component or its module scope is poisoned.
This is fine for compilation, since diagnostics will be produced showing the
error(s), but the language service needs to still work for incorrect code.
2. `getComponentScopes()` does not return components with a poisoned scope,
which interferes with resource tracking of incremental builds.
If the component isn't included in that list, then the NgModule for it will
not have its dependencies properly tracked, and this can cause future
incremental build steps to produce incorrect results.
This commit changes the tracking of poisoned module scopes to use a flag on
the scope itself, rather than a sentinel value that replaces the scope. This
means that the scope itself will still be tracked, even if it contains
semantic errors. A test is added to the language service which verifies that
poisoned scopes can still be used in template type-checking.

The Language Service "find references" currently uses the
`ngtypecheck.ts` suffix to determine if a file is a shim file. Instead,
a better API would be to expose a method in the template type checker
that does this verification so that the LS does not have to "know" about
the typecheck suffix. This also fixes an issue (albeit unlikely) whereby a file
in the user's program that _actually_ is named with the `ngtypecheck.ts`
suffix would have been interpreted as a shim file.

This commit adds "find references" functionality to the Ivy integrated
language service. The basic approach is as follows:
1. Generate shims for all files to ensure we find references in shims
throughout the entire program
2. Determine if the position for the reference request is within a
template.
* Yes, it is in a template: Find which node in the template AST the
position refers to. Then find the position in the shim file for that
template node. Pass the shim file and position in the shim file along
to step 3.
* No, the request for references was made outside a template: Forward
the file and position to step 3.
3. (`getReferencesAtTypescriptPosition`): Call the native TypeScript LS
`getReferencesAtPosition`. For each reference that is in a shim file, map those
back to a template location, otherwise return it as-is.

Currently `readConfiguration` relies on the file system to perform disk
utilities needed to read determine a project configuration file and read

use `readConfiguration` to watch and read configurations dependent on
extended tsconfigs (#39134). Challenges are at least twofold:
1. To test this, the langauge service would need to provide to the
compiler a mock file system.
2. The language service uses file system utilities primarily through
TypeScript's `Project` abstraction. In general this should correspond
to the underlying file system, but it may differ and it is better to
go through one channel when possible.
This patch alleviates the concern by directly providing to the compiler
a "ParseConfigurationHost" with read-only "file system"-like utilties.
For the language service, this host is derived from the project owned by

This commit adds new language service testing infrastructure which allows
for in-memory testing. It solves a number of issues with the previous
testing infrastructure that relied on a single integration project across
all of the tests, and also provides for much faster builds by using
the compiler-cli's mock versions of @angular/core and @angular/common.
A new `LanguageServiceTestEnvironment` class (conceptually mirroring the
compiler-cli `NgtscTestEnvironment`) controls setup and execution of tests.
The `FileSystem` abstraction is used to drive a `ts.server.ServerHost`,
which backs the language service infrastructure.
Since many language service tests revolve around the template, the API is
currently optimized to spin up a "skeleton" project and then override its
template for each test.
The existing Quick Info tests (quick_info_spec.ts) were ported to the new
infrastructure for validation. The tests were cleaned up a bit to remove
unnecessary initializations as well as correct legitimate template errors
which did not affect the test outcome, but caused additional validation of
test correctness to fail. They still utilize a shared project with all
fields required for each individual unit test, which is an anti-pattern, but
new tests can now easily be written independently without relying on the
shared project, which was extremely difficult previously. Future cleanup
work might refactor these tests to be more independent.

* it's especially difficult to test any cases that require introducing

* tests load files from disk, which is slower.
* tests rely on the real built versions of @angular/core and
@angular/common, which makes them both slow to build and require rebuilds

the same implicit receiver as when the receiver is omitted. This introduces the following issues:
1. Any time something called `$any` is used, it'll be stripped away, leaving only the first parameter.
2. If something called `$event` is used anywhere in a template, it'll be preserved as `$event`,
rather than being rewritten to `ctx.$event`, causing the value to undefined at runtime. This
applies to listener, property and text bindings.
These changes resolve the first issue and part of the second one by preserving anything that
is accessed through `this`, even if it's one of the "special" ones like `$any` or `$event`.

Make typing of DatePipe stricter to catch some misuses (such as passing

anymore.

For the following example, the cursor is between `keySpan` and `valueSpan`
of the `BoundAttribute`.
```html
<test-cmp [foo]¦="bar"></test-cmp>
```
Our hybrid visitor will return `Element`in this case, which is the parent
node of the `BoundAttribute`.
This is because we only look at the `keySpan` and `valueSpan`, and not
the source span. The last element in the AST path is `Element`, so it gets
returned.
In this PR, I propose fixing this by adding a sentinel value `undefined`
to the AST path to signal that we've found a source span but the cursor is
neither in the key span nor the value span.
PR Close#38995
The keySpan in bound attributes provides more fine-grained location information and can be used
to disambiguate multiple bound attributes in a single microsyntax binding. Previously,
this case could not distinguish between the two different attributes because
the sourceSpans were identical and valueSpans would not match if the cursor
was located in a key.
PR Close#38955
In a microsyntax expressions, some attributes are not bound after
desugaring. For example,
```html
<div *ngFor="let item of items">
</div>
```
gets desugared to
```html
<ng-template ngFor let-items [ngForOf]="items">
</ngtemplate>
```
In this case, `ngFor` should be a literal attribute with no RHS value.
Therefore, its source span should be just the `keySpan` and not the
source span of the original template node.
This allows language service to precisely pinpoint different spans in a
microsyntax to provide accurate information.

The statements generated in the TCB are optimized for performance and producing diagnostics.
These optimizations can result in generating a TCB that does not have all the information
needed by the `TemplateTypeChecker` for retrieving `Symbol`s. For example, as an optimization,
the TCB will not generate variable declaration statements for directives that have no
references, inputs, or outputs. However, the `TemplateTypeChecker` always needs these
statements to be present in order to provide `ts.Symbol`s and `ts.Type`s for the directives.
This commit adds logic to the TCB generation to ensure the required
information is available in a form that the `TemplateTypeChecker` can
consume. It also adds an option to the `NgCompiler` that makes this
generation configurable.

In many testing scenarios, there is a common pattern:
1. Overwrite template (inline or external)
2. Find cursor position
3. Call one of language service APIs
4. Inspect spans in result
In order to faciliate this pattern, this commit refactors
`MockHost.overwrite()` and `MockHost.overwriteInlineTemplate()` to
allow a faux cursor symbol `¦` to be injected into the template, and
the methods will automatically remove it before updating the script snapshot.
Both methods will return the cursor position and the new text without
the cursor symbol.
This makes testing very convenient. Here's a typical example:
```ts
const {position, text} = mockHost.overwrite('template.html', `{{ ti¦tle }}`);
const quickInfo = ngLS.getQuickInfoAtPosition('template.html', position);
const {start, length} = quickInfo!.textSpan;
expect(text.substring(start, start + length)).toBe('title');
```
PR Close#38552
This commit introduces two visitors, one for Template AST and the other
for Expression AST to allow us to easily find the node that most closely
corresponds to a given cursor position.
This is crucial because many language service APIs take in a `position`
parameter, and the information returned depends on how well we can find
a good candidate node.
In View Engine implementation of language service, the search for the node
and the processing of information to return the result are strongly coupled.
This makes the code hard to understand and hard to debug because the stack
trace is often littered with layers of visitor calls.
With this new feature, we could test the "searching" part separately and
colocate all the logic (aka hacks) that's required to retrieve an accurate
span for a given node.
Right now, only the most "narrow" node is returned by the main exported
function `findNodeAtPosition`. If needed, we could expose the entire AST
path, or expose other methods to provide more context for a node.
Note that due to limitations in the template AST interface, there are
a few known cases where microsyntax spans are not recorded properly.
This will be dealt with in a follow-up PR.

Prior to this change, the unary + and - operators would be parsed as `x - 0`
and `0 - x` respectively. The runtime semantics of these expressions are
equivalent, however they may introduce inaccurate template type checking
errors as the literal type is lost, for example:
```ts
@Component({
template: `<button [disabled]="isAdjacent(-1)"></button>`
})
export class Example {
isAdjacent(direction: -1 | 1): boolean { return false; }
}
```
would incorrectly report a type-check error:
> error TS2345: Argument of type 'number' is not assignable to parameter
of type '-1 | 1'.
Additionally, the translated expression for the unary + operator would be
considered as arithmetic expression with an incompatible left-hand side:
> error TS2362: The left-hand side of an arithmetic operation must be of
type 'any', 'number', 'bigint' or an enum type.
To resolve this issues, the implicit transformation should be avoided.
This commit adds a new unary AST node to represent these expressions,
allowing for more accurate type-checking.

The template type-checking engine relies on the abstraction interface
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` to create updated `ts.Program`s for
template type-checking. The basic API is that the type-checking engine
requests changes to certain files in the program, and the strategy provides
an updated `ts.Program`.
Typically, such changes are made to 'ngtypecheck' shim files, but certain
conditions can cause template type-checking to require "inline" operations,
which change user .ts files instead. The strategy used by 'ngc' (the
`ReusedProgramStrategy`) supports these kinds of updates, but other clients
such as the language service might not always support modifying user files.
To accommodate this, the `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` interface was
modified to include a `supportsInlineOperations` flag. If an implementation
specifies `false` for inline support, the template type-checking system will
return diagnostics on components which would otherwise require inline
operations.
Closes#38059
PR Close#38105
This commit significantly refactors the 'typecheck' package to introduce a
new abstraction, the `TemplateTypeChecker`. To achieve this:
* a 'typecheck:api' package is introduced, containing common interfaces that
consumers of the template type-checking infrastructure can depend on
without incurring a dependency on the template type-checking machinery as
a whole.
* interfaces for `TemplateTypeChecker` and `TypeCheckContext` are introduced
which contain the abstract operations supported by the implementation
classes `TemplateTypeCheckerImpl` and `TypeCheckContextImpl` respectively.
* the `TemplateTypeChecker` interface supports diagnostics on a whole
program basis to start with, but the implementation is purposefully
designed to support incremental diagnostics at a per-file or per-component
level.
* `TemplateTypeChecker` supports direct access to the type check block of a
component.
* the testing utility is refactored to be a lot more useful, and new tests
are added for the new abstraction.
PR Close#38105
Previously in the template type-checking engine, it was assumed that every
input file would have an associated type-checking shim. The type check block
code for all components in the input file would be generated into this shim.
This is fine for whole-program type checking operations, but to support the
language service's requirements for low latency, it would be ideal to be
able to check a single component in isolation, especially if the component
is declared along with many others in a single file.
This commit removes the assumption that the file/shim mapping is 1:1, and
introduces the concept of component-to-shim mapping. Any
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` must provide such a mapping.
To achieve this:
* type checking record information is now split into file-level data as
well as per-shim data.
* components are now assigned a stable `TemplateId` which is unique to the
file in which they're declared.

Refactors the `ng_rollup_bundle` rule to a macro that relies on
the `@bazel/rollup` package. This means that the rule no longer
deals with custom ESM5 flavour output, but rather only builds
prodmode ES2015 output. This matches the common build output
in Angular projects, and optimizations done in CLI where
ES2015 is the default optimization input.
The motiviation for this change is:
* Not duplicating rollup Bazel rules. Instead leveraging the official
rollup rule.
* Not dealing with a third TS output flavor in Bazel.The ESM5 flavour has the
potential of slowing down local development (as it requires compilation replaying)
* Updating the rule to be aligned with current CLI optimizations.
This also _fixes_ a bug that surfaced in the old rollup bundle rule.
Code that is unused, is not removed properly. The new rule fixes this by
setting the `toplevel` flag. This instructs terser to remove unused
definitions at top-level. This matches the optimization applied in CLI
projects. Notably the CLI doesn't need this flag, as code is always
wrapped by Webpack. Hence, the unused code eliding runs by default.

Commit 24b2f1da2b introduced an `NgCompiler` which operates on a
`ts.Program` independently of the `NgtscProgram`. The NgCompiler got its
`IncrementalDriver` (for incremental reuse of Angular compilation results)
by looking at a monkey-patched property on the `ts.Program`.
This monkey-patching operation causes problems with the Angular indexer
(specifically, it seems to cause the indexer to retain too much of prior
programs, resulting in OOM issues). To work around this, `IncrementalDriver`
reuse is now handled by a dedicated `IncrementalBuildStrategy`. One
implementation of this interface is used by the `NgtscProgram` to perform
the old-style reuse, relying on the previous instance of `NgtscProgram`
instead of monkey-patching. Only for `NgTscPlugin` is the monkey-patching
strategy used, as the plugin sits behind an interface which only provides
access to the `ts.Program`, not a prior instance of the plugin.

This commit adds support in the Angular monorepo and in the Angular
compiler(s) for TypeScript 3.8. All packages can now compile with
TS 3.8.
For most of the repo, only a handful few typings adjustments were needed:
* TS 3.8 has a new `CustomElementConstructor` DOM type, which enforces a
zero-argument constructor. The `NgElementConstructor` type previously
declared a required `injector` argument despite the fact that its
implementation allowed `injector` to be optional. The interface type was
updated to reflect the optionality of the argument.
* Certain error messages were changed, and expectations in tests were
updated as a result.
* tsserver (part of language server) now returns performance information in
responses, so test expectations were changed to only assert on the actual
body content of responses.
For compiler-cli and schematics (which use the TypeScript AST) a major
breaking change was the introduction of the export form:
```typescript
export * as foo from 'bar';
```
This is a `ts.NamespaceExport`, and the `exportClause` of a
`ts.ExportDeclaration` can now take this type as well as `ts.NamedExports`.
This broke a lot of places where `exportClause` was assumed to be
`ts.NamedExports`.
For the most part these breakages were in cases where it is not necessary
to handle the new `ts.NamedExports` anyway. ngtsc's design uses the
`ts.TypeChecker` APIs to understand syntax and so automatically supports the
new form of exports.
The View Engine compiler on the other hand extracts TS structures into
metadata.json files, and that format was not designed for namespaced
exports. As a result it will take a nontrivial amount of work if we want to
support such exports in View Engine. For now, these new exports are not
accounted for in metadata.json, and so using them in "folded" Angular
expressions will result in errors (probably claiming that the referenced
exported namespace doesn't exist).
Care was taken to only use TS APIs which are present in 3.7/3.6, as Angular
needs to remain compatible with these for the time being.
This commit does not update angular.io.
