Description

Adds a Add Variable floating button so users don't have to scroll to the bottom of a large environment variable table to add a new row.

Problem

If an environment has a large number of variables, users have to scroll all the way to the bottom to add a new row. This becomes frustrating when there are 100+ variables.

Fix

  • Added a Add Variable floating button that is shown when the trailing add row is not in view.
  • Clicking the button scrolls to the bottom and focuses the Name input of the add row.
  • Uses TableVirtuoso's rangeChanged callback to determine whether the trailing add row is visible and when to show the floating button.
  • When searching and no variables match, the add row is still displayed along with the "No results found" state, allowing users to add a new variable.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The environment variable table preserves the trailing add row during search, supports deferred focus in virtualized content, and shows a floating add control when the row is outside the viewport. Styling and Playwright coverage support the new flow.

Changes

Environment variable table

Layer / File(s) Summary
Virtualized add-row flow
packages/bruno-app/src/components/EnvironmentVariablesTable/index.js
Search results retain the trailing add row. Virtuoso range tracking scrolls to that row and focuses the variable or secret name input. Empty searches render a standalone “No results found” message.
Table viewport and action styling
packages/bruno-app/src/components/EnvironmentVariablesTable/StyledWrapper.js
The table gains a relative viewport and floating add-action styling. The action gains themed, layered, hover, and fade-in behavior. Resize mode disables its pointer events.
Floating add-action validation
tests/environments/add-variable-action/add-variable-action.spec.ts, tests/utils/page/environments/index.ts
Playwright coverage validates action visibility, scrolling, focus, creation, and tab labels. Environment locators target the floating action and no longer target the removed in-table result row.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to faf84

The change can leave users unable to add variables while searching and may hide the floating shortcut before the add row is reachable; the end-to-end coverage also does not fully exercise real interaction, so these issues should be addressed before merging.

Poem

The add row waits beyond the view,
A plus control brings it through.
Scroll and focus align in flight,
Variables and secrets land right.
Empty searches state their case.

react-virtuoso 4.18.1 rangeChanged overscan endIndex rendered range viewport documentation

💡 Result:

In react-virtuoso, the rangeChanged callback is designed to provide information about the range of items currently being rendered by the component [1][2]. Key details regarding rangeChanged and its interaction with overscan and the viewport: 1. Reporting of Rendered Items: The rangeChanged callback reports the indices of the items that are currently rendered in the DOM [2]. Crucially, these reported indices are affected by the overscan and viewport-related configurations [2]. 2. Effect of Overscan: If an overscan value is provided, the range reported by rangeChanged will include the overscanned content in addition to the visible items [2][3]. Because overscan is used to render a larger chunk of items than what is strictly visible in the viewport to improve performance, the endIndex and startIndex provided by rangeChanged will reflect this extended range, rather than just the items currently inside the visible viewport [4][3]. 3. Intended Use: The primary purpose of rangeChanged is to track which items are being rendered [5]. Users who require tracking exclusively for items currently visible in the viewport should be aware that the library does not natively provide a separate "visible only" callback that ignores overscan without performance penalties; alternative approaches, such as using an Intersection Observer, are typically recommended for that specific use case [3]. In summary, rangeChanged returns the full range of items currently maintained in the DOM, which includes any extra items rendered due to the overscan setting [2][4]. [1][2][3]

Track actual viewport visibility for the floating action.

rangeChanged reports the rendered range, including overscan. With overscan enabled, endIndex can reach the trailing Add row while that row remains outside the viewport. The floating action then hides too early.

Use viewport geometry or a visible-item workaround instead of the overscan-affected range.

Use a Playwright click for the Configure button.

Line 63 dispatches a DOM event directly. This bypasses Playwright actionability checks. The setup can open the editor when a user cannot activate the button. Use Locator.click() instead.

Proposed fix
-    await locators.environment.configureButton().waitFor({ state: 'visible' });
-    await locators.environment.configureButton().dispatchEvent('click');
+    const configureButton = locators.environment.configureButton();
+    await expect(configureButton).toBeVisible();
+    await configureButton.click();

As per coding guidelines, “Structure every test as Arrange, Act, Assert, and Cleanup using isolated fixture state and real user actions.”

872-888: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the trailing add row during an active search.

Line 872 filters out the empty add row because it cannot match the query. Line 950 then removes the table when there are no matching variables. The user cannot add a variable from a search with matches or from a no-results search.

Keep the trailing add row in displayedVariables. Derive the no-results state from matched named rows, then render that state with the add row still available.
