Fix @section directive incorrectly allowed in .razor files

Open Copilot opened this issue 3 months ago • 4 comments

Summary of the changes

The @section directive was incorrectly registered for both .cshtml (MVC/Razor Pages) and .razor (Blazor components) files. Per documentation, @section is only valid in MVC/Razor Pages. Using it in .razor files produces compilation errors.

Changes:

  • SectionDirective.cs: Removed RazorFileKind.Component from directive registration
  • SectionDirectivePassTest.cs: Added tests verifying directive availability per file kind
  • ComponentCodeGenerationTestBase.cs: Added integration test SectionDirective_NotAllowed to verify code generation behavior and prevent regressions

Before:

builder.AddDirective(Directive, RazorFileKind.Legacy, RazorFileKind.Component);

After:

builder.AddDirective(Directive, RazorFileKind.Legacy);

Code Generation Verification: The integration test confirms that when @section is used in a .razor file, it is no longer recognized as a directive and is instead treated as regular content, preventing compilation errors. Baseline files demonstrate the expected code generation output for both runtime and design-time scenarios.

Fixes: #11273

@chsienki you should also take this out of draft if you're happy with it

@copilot can you add a compiler integration test for a component with @section in it, so we can see the code-gen and ensure nothing regresses. Perhaps something like:

...

Added the compiler integration test SectionDirective_NotAllowed in commit 985a0a4. The test verifies code-gen for components with @section and confirms it's no longer recognized as a directive, preventing compilation errors.

The test shows that @section One { <p>Content</p> } in a .razor file is now treated as regular content rather than a directive.
