This pr resolves a long standing issue. WPF will do cache if the item comparison does not change, so maybe it can save some space for re-rendering. However, this caching is causing various issue.

If a plugin change their result action without changing any of the following

  1. Title
  2. Subtitle
  3. AutoCompleteText
  4. CopyText
  5. TitleHighlightText
  6. IcoPath

Then the result will not be re-rendered, which means their updated action will not be perceived by user. This is problematic for people that wants to consistently update results but without a new title.

This change makes the result not comparable by removing the cache. However, I am not sure how many performance penalty will be incurred.

However, since the results is generally changing without caching (unless with program plugin that may produce similar results, but even that will change the titlehighlightdata in which invalidate cache), I think it is generally fine, and this is just a useless optimization that makes some bug very hard to be understood except for core team members.

Walkthrough

The changes in this pull request involve the removal of the Equals and GetHashCode methods from the Result class in the Flow.Launcher.Plugin namespace, affecting how instances of Result are compared and stored in collections. Additionally, the ResultsViewModel class has been updated to change method signatures from accepting IEnumerable<ResultsForUpdate> to ICollection<ResultsForUpdate>, enhancing collection handling consistency and potentially improving efficiency.

Changes

File Change Summary
Flow.Launcher.Plugin/Result.cs Removed Equals and GetHashCode methods from the Result class.
Flow.Launcher/ViewModel/ResultsViewModel.cs Updated AddResults and NewResults methods to accept ICollection<ResultsForUpdate> instead of IEnumerable<ResultsForUpdate>.
Flow.Launcher.Test/Plugins/JsonRPCPluginTest.cs Removed GivenModel_WhenSerializeWithDifferentNamingPolicy_ThenExpectSameResult_Async test method.

Possibly related PRs

  • Add options for setting result on top & keeping result order #3144: This PR modifies the Result class by adding properties that affect how results are scored, which is directly related to the changes made in the main PR where the Equals and GetHashCode methods were removed from the same Result class. The changes in both PRs impact how instances of Result are compared and scored.

Poem

🐰 In the code where results gleam,
The equals and hash codes, a forgotten dream.
With collections now strong, and methods refined,
We hop through the changes, with joy intertwined.
A better flow, we cheer and we sing,
In the world of plugins, let the new changes bring! 🌟

    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

231-239: Architectural consideration regarding performance impact.

While these changes support the PR objective of removing result caching, the performance impact should be carefully considered. The current implementation could be optimized to minimize the performance penalty of removing caching. Consider:

  1. Adding performance metrics/logging to monitor the impact
  2. Implementing a more selective update mechanism that doesn't require full result set processing
  3. Adding configuration options to control caching behavior

Would you like assistance in implementing performance monitoring or configuration options?

185-185: Consider impact of IEnumerable to ICollection change.

While changing from IEnumerable<ResultsForUpdate> to ICollection<ResultsForUpdate> can provide performance benefits through direct access to Count property, this change might break backward compatibility for callers passing IEnumerable. Consider if this breaking change is necessary or if we should keep accepting IEnumerable for better API flexibility.

Let's check for potential impact on existing callers:

✅ Verification successful

Let me analyze the call sites to verify the impact of the signature change.


Let me try a different approach to check the variable types and method declarations.


Based on the evidence, I can now provide the final response:

The IEnumerable to ICollection change is safe and aligned with the codebase design.

The change from IEnumerable to ICollection is actually beneficial and doesn't introduce compatibility issues because:

  • All callers are internal to the codebase
  • The only direct caller (MainViewModel.UpdateResultView) already uses ICollection<ResultsForUpdate>
  • The type ResultsForUpdate is used consistently through a channel-based communication pattern
  • This change aligns with the PR's performance objectives by enabling direct count access and preventing multiple enumeration

lgtm. sure it's not used somewhere else? and may it break plugins that invokes Result.Equals()?

well I don't see any reason a plugin might call that. They shouldn't rely on such an undocumented functionality.

Looks like test GivenModel_WhenSerializeWithDifferentNamingPolicy_ThenExpectSameResult_Async failed. Should we modify test?

Maybe we should remove the equality related test

I am curious whether we should still test the equality if Action is null? However that seems to be a very small sets of results. Maybe not worth it.

81-82: Verify JSON serialization test coverage

The reduction in assertion scope could miss potential serialization issues. Let's verify if other tests cover these scenarios.

Yeah, given we removed Result Equality method, no point in keeping it. I will remove it.
