fix(useNamingConvention): ignore namespaces inside declare global and external modules by dfedoryshchev · Pull Request #11827 · biomejs/biome

dfedoryshchev · 2026-09-17T14:13:38Z

Summary

useNamingConvention documents declarations inside declare global and inside an external module declaration as always ignored. scope_from_declaration implements that by returning None for both, and the arms of selector_from_binding_declaration that call it get the behaviour for free.

The TsModuleDeclaration arm doesn't call it, it hardcodes Scope::Global. So a namespace is the one declaration kind still reported in those two positions, and since the diagnostic carries a safe fix, biome check --write renames it:

export {}
declare global {
    namespace JSX {}            // renamed to `Jsx`
}

declare module "myExternalModule" {
    namespace my_NAMESPACE {}   // renamed to `myNamespace`
}

Renaming JSX breaks the types that block exists to declare.

The fix routes that arm through scope_from_declaration, the same call the neighbouring TsTypeAliasDeclaration arm already makes.

Test Plan

Added a should not generate diagnostics spec for each position.

Worth flagging how far I got on verification: I reproduced both diagnostics with the released 2.5.14 CLI, but I don't have a Rust toolchain on this machine and have not run cargo test. The two snapshots are written to match the existing valid*.ts.snap files in that directory, so CI is the real check on them.

Walkthrough

The useNamingConvention rule now derives the scope of TypeScript namespace declarations instead of always treating them as global. New fixtures verify that namespaces inside external module declarations and declare global blocks produce no diagnostics. A changeset documents the patch fix for issue #11566.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f0f67

Nested namespaces in ambient declarations remain subject to unwanted automatic renaming, so this regression should be fixed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate ambient scope through nested namespaces.

scope_from_declaration selects the nearest control-flow root. A nested namespace can therefore stop at its enclosing TS_MODULE_DECLARATION, map to Scope::Global, and reach the namespace selector at line 1252 before an enclosing TS_GLOBAL_DECLARATION or TS_EXTERNAL_MODULE_DECLARATION is considered. The rule can then report Inner and apply the rename action with --write.

Check all enclosing ancestors for TS_GLOBAL_DECLARATION and TS_EXTERNAL_MODULE_DECLARATION before mapping TS_MODULE_DECLARATION to Scope::Global. Add nested fixtures for both contexts; the current fixtures cover only top-level namespaces.
