Full details: Automatic Tests
-
Explanation
The PR adds substantial column-sizing and resizing behavior but adds no automatic tests. The only changed file is FormTable.tsx; no tests exist in its component directory. The new logic includes width fitting and content measurement (lines 67–159), viewport observation and grid calculations (lines 359–605), and pointer and keyboard resizing (lines 448–503 and 740–783). These behaviors need automated coverage. The frontend has Jest and Testing Library available (package.json lines 24–27, 82–83).
Resolution
Add automated tests for column-width fitting at available-width and minimum-width boundaries, and component tests for viewport-driven sizing, pointer resizing, keyboard resizing, and sorting/header behavior. Keep the manual checks as supplemental coverage.
Full details: Testing Instructions
-
Explanation
The instructions clearly cover viewport sizing, pointer resizing, sorting, truncation, expanded rows, saving, and pagination. They omit keyboard resizing, although the changed
FormTable.tsxadds a focusable separator that resizes columns with ArrowLeft and ArrowRight keys and enforces 60–600 px limits (lines 740–782). The instructions therefore do not cover all of the new resizing behavior.

only for indexes present in cells, ignoring stale entries in columnWidths after
the view definition changes. Use the cell index to look up each width and treat
missing widths as zero.

- Around line 446-494: Update FormTable’s resizeColumn flow to retain the active
drag’s listener and animation-frame cleanup in a ref, and invoke that cleanup
from an effect cleanup on unmount. Have handleUp use the same cleanup, and clean
up any prior drag before storing a new one so listeners and pending frames
cannot outlive the component.
- Around line 535-570: Update the width budget passed to fitSubviewColumnWidths
in FormTable so it reserves space for numeric flexible tracks that render as fr
tracks. Ensure fitted automatic-column minimums plus those tracks’ intrinsic
minimums do not exceed the available scroll viewport width.

useMemodepends on the records array, not on the values returned byresource.get(sortConfig.sortField). If a user edits a sorted field,FormTableCollectioncan retain the same records array. A later expand or resize rerender then keeps the old row order. Recompute the sort when the relevant field changes, or remove this memoization. The previous implementation sorted on each render.
