🎯 Changes

This upgrades @powersync/ dependencies to their latest version, which includes breaking changes affecting @tanstack/powersync-db-collection:

  1. AbstractPowerSyncDatabase is a deprecated type-alias, we should use CommonPowerSyncDatabase instead.
  2. The internal logger on databases is based on a single log() function instead of one per severity now.
  3. Table.columnMap has been removed in favor of a type parameter, this changes a few helper types to infer the column structure instead of extracting it from a field.
  4. The CrudEntry class is an implementation detail and no longer exposed. The integration used that in tests, this replaces usages by directly querying from the underlying internal table instead.

This simplifies some types around serializeForSQLite, but nothing that affects compiled JS.

✅ Checklist

  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm test.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f5f84

This PR upgrades the PowerSync SDK dependency chain to v2 and updates the collection package's database contracts, typing, serialization, and logging accordingly; package tests and type checks reportedly pass. One known, pre-existing lifecycle quirk (an internally-caught tracking/trigger disposal log) is not fully guarded by the updated test assertions, since those assertions can run before the test database's teardown completes — meaning a regression there could still slip through unnoticed by CI. This does not block merge but is worth tightening with an explicit await on cleanup before asserting, since it affects confidence in future changes to this lifecycle path rather than current production behavior.

Avoid using any types; prefer unknown.

As per coding guidelines: "Avoid using any types; use unknown instead when the type is truly unknown". Using unknown for the column values improves type safety by requiring type guards before operations on the values.

I tested this branch by itself and stacked after #1585, #1616, and #1649. The package tests and type checks pass, and the attachments code compiles against PowerSync 2, but I can't merge this version yet.

After the preceding PRs land, this needs a rebase. The stack currently conflicts in package.json, powersync.test.ts, and pnpm-lock.yaml. More importantly, the v2 test run repeatedly logs tracking-table flushes after disposal and cleaned-up to ready lifecycle errors when trigger setup finishes after cleanup. Those races are caught internally, so the tests stay green while the integration is still logging real failures. Please fix those paths and add regression coverage before merge.

There are also two small cleanups in the current diff: the metadata path says it logs a warning but uses LogLevels.info, and getAll<{ op: 'string' }> should use string. The PowerSync 2 peer requirement is intentionally breaking, and the minor changeset is appropriate for the current 0.x package.

A data point from running this combination in anger, in case it's useful while this waits on its rebase.

We've shipped @powersync/common 2.1.0 / @powersync/web 2.2.0 / @powersync/react-native 2.1.0 against the published @tanstack/powersync-db-collection 0.1.59, in a React + React Native app with 16 collections, by wrapping the database in a Proxy that presents a 1.x-shaped logger:

new Proxy(database, {
  get(target, property) {
    if (property === 'logger') return legacyLoggerFacade  // .info/.warn/.error -> log({ level, message, error })
    const value = Reflect.get(target, property, target)
    return typeof value === 'function' ? value.bind(target) : value
  },
})

Two things that might save you time:

1. The logger really is the only incompatibility. We enumerated every database.* access in 0.1.59's distlogger.{info,warn,error}, triggers.createDiffTrigger, writeTransaction, writeLock, onChangeWithCallback, getAll, plus the sanitizeSQL / DiffTriggerOperation / TriggerDiffRecord / ColumnType / Table imports — and everything except the logger is unchanged in 2.x. That matches this PR's diff exactly. With the logger substituted, the adapter works unmodified: instanceof holds, triggers returns an identical reference, and a full createDiffTrigger + beforeCreate cycle completes against a real @powersync/node 0.21.0 database.

2. Without it the failure is total, not cosmetic — worth flagging for anyone who tries 2.x before this lands. The first thing each collection does on start is log Sync is ready for <table>, so every collection's sync start throws TypeError: database.logger.info is not a function, and the .catch() that would report it throws again on logger.error. We saw 32 TypeErrors and zero rows before adding the shim.

On the lifecycle races @tannerlinsley mentions — tracking-table flushes after disposal, and cleaned-upready when trigger setup finishes after cleanup — we see the disposal half of that in our RN app too: two generations of __<table>_tracking_<hash> tables for the same collections within one session, with Sync has been stopped for <table> into __<table>_tracking_<hash> for both. In our case the trigger is app-side (we recreate collections on a tenant switch, and separately connect twice at startup), so it may be our churn rather than an adapter bug — but it does mean the adapter is being disposed and recreated in normal use, which is presumably the same window your test run is hitting.

Happy to test a rebased build against our app if that's useful — we have both web and React Native surfaces on 2.x, plus a @powersync/node load-test harness.

To my fellow Americans who have never heard the phrase "in anger" used this way before: its a british idiom meaning "for real / in a real world setting". At first I thought @jaltin was saying he was rage-testing this branch 😅

Assert after asynchronous teardown completes.

These assertions run before the onTestFinished cleanup registered by createDatabase calls disconnectAndClear() and close(). If a tracking-table flush logs after disposal during that cleanup, the test can pass before the message is appended to syncErrors. Await an explicit cleanup or flush completion, then perform both assertions.

Also applies to: 2326-2326

I have rebased this ontop of the latest main containing two of the other PowerSync-related PRs you mentioned. I don't think it makes sense to stack it ontop of the attachment integration as independent to that.

More importantly, the v2 test run repeatedly logs tracking-table flushes after disposal and cleaned-up to ready lifecycle errors when trigger setup finishes after cleanup. Those races are caught internally, so the tests stay green while the integration is still logging real failures. Please fix those paths and add regression coverage before merge.

This doesn't appear to be a regression from the v2 update, and I see there's an existing branch to improve that.

@tannerlinsley @KyleAMathews Could I get another review here? Since this is blocking our users from upgrading, we'd like to land this if possible instead of stacking it on another PR. It also seems like the reported "repeatedly logs tracking-table flushes after disposal" issue from the first review is not a regression here.

Hey @KyleAMathews, this has become a bit more important than the attachment PR seeing as more users are asking for the V2 version bump and you had feedback on the attachment PR which might take a minute to be resolved.

I am not expecting any blocking feedback on this PR so it feels like reducing the PowerSync review surface by getting this in should be reasonable.

We wanted to maintain chronological order for simplicity, but these PRs are no longer stacked.

I found two issues worth following up on. I'm approving so this doesn't block the PowerSync v2 upgrade, but I'd like these addressed before merge if practical or tracked explicitly as follow-up work.

1. The restConfig cast hides a current transformed-schema bug.

BasePowerSyncCollectionConfig types compare against the SQLite RowType<TTable>, but the resulting collection invokes it with the schema's transformed output type. For example, a schema that transforms title: string into a Holder still allows:

compare: (left, right) =>
  left.title!.localeCompare(right.title!)

That configuration type-checks, but the comparator receives Holder instances at runtime and throws TypeError: left.title.localeCompare is not a function.

Removing the cast at powersync.ts:953 exposes this mismatch as TS2322. Please align output-sensitive configuration fields—at least compare—with the schema output type, narrow/remove the cast, and add a transformed-schema regression test.

2. Some v2 lifecycle tests are false-green.

At least these tests pass while logging no such table: __products_tracking_* errors:

  • does not repeat release work started by a reentrant cleanup
  • rechecks active demand before evicting released rows

They spy on db.getAll, but the v2 path flushes through the transaction context's getAll, so the mock no longer covers the operation under test. The same focused tests on the parent commit with PowerSync v1 do not log these failures. Please update the test seam—or use a real trigger—capture logger errors, and await cleanup before asserting.

Two smaller cleanups are also valid:

  • Remove the unused MapBaseColumnType helper and its BaseColumnType import.
  • Decide whether intentionally to retain the metadata previously passed to logger.warn. Using error: mutation.metadata would surface it, although error is semantically an awkward metadata channel.

The serializer callback types themselves appear sound at the public configuration boundary: transformed callback inputs remain typed, typoed property access is rejected, and serializers must return the corresponding SQLite column type.

Keeping this migration separate from the attachment work makes sense. Approved so it can move forward when ready; please address or track the comparator and false-green test issues.

@KyleAMathews I have added type and runtime tests for mapped schemas, removed stubbed triggers from new tests to avoid them logging exceptions and MapBaseColumnType.

Decide whether intentionally to retain the metadata previously passed to logger.warn. Using error: mutation.metadata would surface it, although error is semantically an awkward metadata channel.

We don't want to pass untyped metadata through loggers on the PowerSync database, I think including the metadata object is not required for that message which just complains about metadata being set at all (instead of it e.g. having invalid values).
