Summary

  • Check scalar Element child indices before validating replacement values in both mapping and sequence assignment slots. An out-of-range index raises IndexError even if the value is not an Element; a valid index with an invalid value still raises TypeError.
  • For extended-slice assignment, report a replacement-length mismatch before an invalid item type. Release materialized items before constructing the mismatch error.
  • Construct errors after releasing the element lock; successful assignments retain the existing single-lock path and type scan.

Scope

This aligns the observable validation order. It does not attempt full parity for capacity-allocation failures, iterable materialization details, or concurrent mutation.

Validation

  • Compared with CPython 3.15.0 element_setitem and element_ass_subscr. CPython 3.15 reproductions covered invalid scalar indices, direct PySequence_SetItem, and mismatched versus matched extended-slice lengths containing invalid items.
  • Independent source review for all three commits and normal commit hooks (including rustfmt) passed. A standalone Rust compiler-only metadata check confirmed the slice branch-local borrow/drop pattern; this is not a RustPython build.
  • RustPython was not built or executed locally. No tests were added or changed; hosted CI is expected to run existing ElementTree tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Element assignment now reports invalid indices before validating replacement values for integer assignments.
    • Extended-slice assignments now report length mismatches before invalid replacement values. For unit-step slices, invalid values are still reported before replacement.
    • Sequence-based integer assignment follows the same index-first validation order.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Walkthrough

Element assignment paths now check indices and slice constraints in a defined order relative to replacement-element validation. A shared helper constructs the existing TypeError for invalid elements.

Changes: Element Assignment Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Assignment validation and error ordering
crates/stdlib/src/elementtree.rs
A shared helper constructs the existing invalid-element TypeError. Integer assignments check the index before validating the replacement. Extended-slice assignments check length first; unit-step slices validate elements before replacing children.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Low · up to b22ac

The assignment changes appear mergeable, with targeted regression tests recommended to preserve the corrected error ordering.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Match Element child assignment error order" names the main change: Element child assignment now raises errors in the same order as CPython. The raw summary and objectives both describe checking indices before validating replacement values, and checking extended-slice length before rejecting non-Element values, in the ElementTree assignment slots. The title is specific and concise, and a reviewer scanning history would understand the primary change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 2 functions across 1 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Add a regression check for a non-Element value at an out-of-range index.

The _setitem path now checks the index before the value. No test in the repository covers an invalid index with an invalid value. Add a case to extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_xml.py. It fails if the value check runs before the index check.

Suggested test
     assert str(caught.exception) == (
         "remove() argument must be xml.etree.ElementTree.Element, not " + type_name
     )
+
+with assert_raises(IndexError):
+    root[5] = 1

Add a regression test for index-before-value precedence on the sequence slot.

The ass_item slot now checks the index before the replacement type. No existing test asserts IndexError for an out-of-range index with a non-Element value on this slot. Python e[i] = v never reaches this slot, so the gap is reachable only through PySequence_SetItem. If a C-API test harness can call this path, add a case there. Otherwise, record the gap as a known limitation.

Review comment at @crates/stdlib/src/elementtree.rs around lines 1250 - 1257:
Check whether the existing C-API test harness can exercise the `ass_item`
sequence slot through `PySequence_SetItem`; if so, add a regression case using
an out-of-range index and a non-`PyElement` value, asserting that index
validation takes precedence and returns `IndexError`. If the harness cannot
reach this slot, record the gap as a known limitation rather than adding an
unreachable test.

Add a snippet that covers the length-before-type ordering.

The extended-slice assignment now reports a length mismatch before it rejects a non-Element item. No test in extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_xml.py exercises extended-slice assignment on an Element, so a change that reverses this order would not be caught here. Add a case that combines a length mismatch with a non-Element item and expects ValueError:

🧪 Suggested test
     assert str(caught.exception) == (
         "remove() argument must be xml.etree.ElementTree.Element, not " + type_name
     )
+
+slice_root = Element("root")
+for tag in ("a", "b", "c"):
+    slice_root.append(Element(tag))
+with assert_raises(ValueError):
+    slice_root[::2] = [1]
