macOS was the only backend where an editable TextField wrapped to multiple lines when its text was wider than the field. AppKit's textFieldWithString: returns a cell configured to wrap and grow, and create() never overrode it, so a fixed-width field grew tall instead of scrolling — misrendering single-line input like URLs, paths, and queries. Configure the cell for single-line editing in create(), matching Android's setSingleLine and the inherently single-line iOS/GTK4/Windows widgets: usesSingleLineMode, scrollable, wraps=false, and a clipping line-break mode. Multiline input keeps its own widget, TextArea. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013Xtg8NkGmpuLTNT959dJp6

…10155) test_issue_10155_textfield_singleline imports perry/ui and needs --target macos to link perry-ui-macos. The Linux compile-smoke's bare `perry foo.ts -o out` path can't link those symbols, so add it to SKIP_TESTS alongside the other macOS UI repros (640, 763).

Preserve the single-line invariant at the generic text mutator boundary.
TextField returns a Widget, and the public text mutators also accept Widget. On macOS, textSetWraps and textSetNumberOfLines set the NSTextField cell to wrapping. textSetTruncationMode changes its line-break mode. These calls can violate the documented single-line TextField contract.
Track the widget kind at registration and reject or normalize these mutators for TextField. Do not reject every NSTextField, because Text uses the same native class.

Run this case in the macOS UI test path
test_issue_10155_textfield_singleline is skipped by the Ubuntu compile-smoke job. The parity job also runs on ubuntu-latest, not macOS. The macOS doc-test harness scans docs/examples/, and its screenshot registry compares only ui/gallery.ts. This fixture has no assertion or screenshot capture, so it cannot detect wrapping.
Add this scenario to the registered ui/gallery.ts screenshot case, or add an equivalent runtime assertion.

Problem
On macOS an editable
TextFieldwraps its text onto multiple lines when the text is wider than the field, so a fixed-width field grows tall and misrenders single-line input like URLs, paths, and queries. macOS is the only backend that does this — iOS, GTK4, Android, Windows, and web all makeTextFieldsingle-line.Solution
Configure the macOS field for single-line editing in
create(), matching the other backends, so it keeps one line and scrolls horizontally. Multiline input already has its own widget,TextArea.This PR
Fixes #10155 for the macOS backend only.
perry-ui-macos'screate()built the field withNSTextField::textFieldWithString, which returns a cell configured to wrap and grow, and set onlyeditable/bezeled. It now also configures the cell for single-line editing.Changes
Single-line cell config in
TextField::create()—crates/perry-ui-macos/src/widgets/textfield.rs. On the field's cell, setusesSingleLineMode,scrollable,wraps = false, andlineBreakMode = .byClipping. This mirrors Android's explicitsetSingleLineand the inherently single-line iOSUITextField/ GTK4Entry/ Win32EDIT/ web<input type="text">widgets..byClipping(hard clip, no ellipsis) is what those five surfaces all do on overflow.https://github.com/steinybot/perry/blob/bf8de14d83d2fc5a323284f2f7664f0becde9823/crates/perry-ui-macos/src/widgets/textfield.rs#L200-L209
Verification
cargo build --profile perry-dev -p perry-ui-macos— compiles clean.perrycompiler, compiledtest-files/test_issue_10155_textfield_singleline.ts(a 220px-wide field carrying a long single-line query) as a native macOS app, and ran it under theperry-ui-testkitscreenshot harness (PERRY_UI_TEST_MODE=1 PERRY_UI_SCREENSHOT_PATH=…). The captured window shows the value on one line, clipped at the trailing edge — single-line with horizontal scroll, no wrap, normal field height.Summary by CodeRabbit
