From 1119e3d77e33f9a4787eb96ffcb18a2da593d076 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aatif Rashid Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 14:11:57 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fix(twenty-shared): preserve special characters in URLs (#16312) # Fix: URL Encoding Bug & Code Refactor ## Issue **Bug**: URLs with encoded characters (e.g., `%20` for spaces) were being double-encoded or incorrectly processed in [lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts:4:0-16:2), causing URL mismatches and potential data integrity issues. **Build Error**: `TS2307: Cannot find module 'src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/utils/safe-decode-uri-component.util'` ## Root Cause Analysis ### 1. Missing URL Decoding The [lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts:4:0-16:2) function was processing URLs without properly decoding URI components. When URLs contained encoded characters like `%20`, `%2F`, etc., they weren't being normalized correctly. ### 2. Invalid Cross-Package Import The fix attempted to import [safeDecodeURIComponent](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts:0:0-6:2) from `twenty-server`: ```typescript import { safeDecodeURIComponent } from 'src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/utils/safe-decode-uri-component.util'; ``` This failed because: - The file resides in `twenty-shared`, a separate package - TypeScript cannot resolve internal paths from another package - The monorepo uses package exports (`twenty-shared/utils`) for cross-package imports, not direct file paths ## Solution ### 1. Bug Fix: Added Safe URI Decoding Updated [lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts](cci:7://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts:0:0-0:0) to properly decode URL components: ```typescript export const lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash = (rawUrl: string) => { const url = getURLSafely(rawUrl); if (!isDefined(url)) { return rawUrl; } const lowercaseOrigin = url.origin.toLowerCase(); const path = safeDecodeURIComponent(url.pathname) + safeDecodeURIComponent(url.search) + url.hash; return (lowercaseOrigin + path).replace(/\/$/, ''); }; ``` The [safeDecodeURIComponent](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts:0:0-6:2) wrapper handles malformed URI sequences gracefully by returning the original string if decoding fails, preventing runtime crashes. ### 2. Refactor: Consolidated Shared Utility **Before**: Duplicate utility existed in `twenty-server` ``` twenty-server/src/modules/messaging/.../utils/safe-decode-uri-component.util.ts ``` **After**: Single source of truth in `twenty-shared` ``` twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts ``` This follows the established pattern in the codebase where shared utilities live in `twenty-shared` and are imported via subpath exports: ```typescript // In twenty-server import { safeDecodeURIComponent } from 'twenty-shared/utils'; // In twenty-shared (local import) import { safeDecodeURIComponent } from './safeDecodeURIComponent'; ``` ## Files Changed | File | Action | Description | |------|--------|-------------| | [twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts](cci:7://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts:0:0-0:0) | **Created** | New shared utility (moved from twenty-server) | | [twenty-shared/src/utils/url/index.ts](cci:7://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/index.ts:0:0-0:0) | **Modified** | Added export for [safeDecodeURIComponent](cci:1://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts:0:0-6:2) | | [twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts](cci:7://file:///Users/apple/WebstormProjects/twenty/packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts:0:0-0:0) | **Modified** | Fixed import path, now uses local relative import | | `twenty-server/.../imap-message-text-extractor.service.ts` | **Modified** | Updated import to use `twenty-shared/utils` | | `twenty-server/.../safe-decode-uri-component.util.ts` | **Deleted** | Removed duplicate utility | ## The Utility ```typescript // safeDecodeURIComponent.ts export const safeDecodeURIComponent = (text: string): string => { try { return decodeURIComponent(text); } catch { return text; } }; ``` This wrapper is necessary because `decodeURIComponent()` throws a `URIError` on malformed sequences (e.g., `%E0%A4%A`). The safe version returns the original string instead of crashing. ## Testing - **342 tests passed** in `twenty-shared` - `lowercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.test.ts` validates URL normalization behavior - No regressions in existing functionality ## Impact - **Bug Fixed**: URLs with encoded characters are now properly normalized - **Code Quality**: Eliminated code duplication between packages - **Maintainability**: Single source of truth for URI decoding utility - **Build**: Resolved TS2307 compilation error --------- Co-authored-by: Joker --- .../imap-message-text-extractor.service.ts | 3 +- packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/index.ts | 1 + ...aseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.test.ts | 42 +++++++++++++++++++ packages/twenty-shared/src/utils/url/index.ts | 1 + ...owercaseUrlOriginAndRemoveTrailingSlash.ts | 4 +- .../src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts} | 0 6 files changed, 48 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) rename packages/{twenty-server/src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/utils/safe-decode-uri-component.util.ts => twenty-shared/src/utils/url/safeDecodeURIComponent.ts} (100%) diff --git a/packages/twenty-server/src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/services/imap-message-text-extractor.service.ts b/packages/twenty-server/src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/services/imap-message-text-extractor.service.ts index 87c29c35de..4342c57550 100644 --- a/packages/twenty-server/src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/services/imap-message-text-extractor.service.ts +++ b/packages/twenty-server/src/modules/messaging/message-import-manager/drivers/imap/services/imap-message-text-extractor.service.ts @@ -4,10 +4,9 @@ import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';
