The upgrade of `@babel/generator` to `v7.20.5` ignores new lines from the template

💥 Regression Report

The upgrade of @babel/generator to v7.20.5 ignores new lines from the template

Related Babel issue (closed as "won't fix"): https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/15064

The babel generator caused this issue. But, it will affect users of SVGR that are sensitive to the output format (ie. tests that compare SVGR output or lint checks). In theory, it shouldn't affect the runtime behavior.

Last working version

Worked up to version: 6.3.1 (==> it worked when @babel/generator resolves to pre-7.20, but you can reproduce this issue in 6.3.1 and a newer babel version that matches the semver in @svgr/core)

Stopped working in version: 6.5.1

Forcing NPM to use @babel/generator 7.18.3 works.

To Reproduce

Use a test file (like the one from the playground):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg width="48px" height="1px" viewBox="0 0 48 1" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <!-- Generator: Sketch 46.2 (44496) - http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch -->
    <title>Rectangle 5</title>
    <desc>Created with Sketch.</desc>
    <defs></defs>
    <g id="Page-1" stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd">
        <g id="19-Separator" transform="translate(-129.000000, -156.000000)" fill="#063855">
            <g id="Controls/Settings" transform="translate(80.000000, 0.000000)">
                <g id="Content" transform="translate(0.000000, 64.000000)">
                    <g id="Group" transform="translate(24.000000, 56.000000)">
                        <g id="Group-2">
                            <rect id="Rectangle-5" x="25" y="36" width="48" height="1"></rect>
                        </g>
                    </g>
                </g>
            </g>
        </g>
    </g>
</svg>

Then run @svgr/cli with the default options:

npx @svgr/cli test.svg

Output:

import * as React from "react";
const SvgTest = (props) => (
  <svg width={48} height={1} xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" {...props}>
    <path d="M0 0h48v1H0z" fill="#063855" fillRule="evenodd" />
  </svg>
);
export default SvgTest;

The output ignores the new lines in the defaultTemplate: https://github.com/gregberge/svgr/blob/main/packages/babel-plugin-transform-svg-component/src/defaultTemplate.ts

Expected behavior

The output should preserve the new lines of the template:

import * as React from "react";

const SvgTest = (props) => (
  <svg width={48} height={1} xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" {...props}>
    <path d="M0 0h48v1H0z" fill="#063855" fillRule="evenodd" />
  </svg>
);

export default SvgTest;

Previously babel didn't preserve newlines, it just added them forever. https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/15064#issuecomment-1351776560

SVGR allows passing options to Babel.

I tried this:

.svgrc

{
  "typescript": true,
  "jsx": {"babelConfig": {"retainLines": true}}
}

Then:

npx @svgr/cli test.svg

I get the output file using Typescript (so svgr is reading the config), but the retainLines option didn't have any effect.

https://babeljs.io/docs/en/options#generatoropts Have you tried setting it as a generator option?

{"babelConfig": {generatoropts:{"retainLines": true}}}

retainLines did not work for me.

Temporarily I'm fixing this by adding ${'\n'} and then running prettier --write to fix the issue.

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried it, but it didn't work:

{
  "typescript": true,
  "jsx": {
    "babelConfig": { "generatorOpts": {"retainLines": true } }
  }
}

@roni-castro-db thanks! that hack worked for me

[liuxingbaoyu]

I did some research.

1. The configuration does not take effect .svgrrc instead of .svgrc.
2. The location information is discarded at a certain stage, which makes it impossible to preserve the newline.

This sucks and I haven't thought of a good solution.
