Fixes #12646

The inline script that runs before hydration set data-announcement-bar-initially-dismissed from the stored dismiss flag alone. When a site shipped a new announcementBar.id, users who had dismissed the previous bar still got true, so the CSS hid the new bar until the next page load.

The script now also compares the stored docusaurus.announcement.id with the configured id, and only treats the bar as dismissed when they match. getAnnouncementBarInlineScript takes the id from themeConfig.announcementBar.id.

Added tests that run the generated script against a fake localStorage: same id stays dismissed, a changed id is not dismissed, and a first visit is not dismissed. The changed-id test fails without the change and passes with it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Announcement bar dismissal now applies only to the announcement that was dismissed. When a different announcement is configured, it appears as not dismissed, even if an earlier announcement was dismissed.
    • If dismissal information is unavailable or browser storage cannot be read, the announcement bar is treated as not dismissed.

Walkthrough

The announcement-bar inline script now receives the configured announcement ID and compares it with the stored ID before applying the dismissal flag. Tests cover matching IDs, changed IDs, and missing dismissal data.

Changes: Announcement bar dismissal

The caller passes the configured ID to the inline script. The script treats a different stored ID as not dismissed before checking the dismissal flag. Tests cover matching IDs, changed IDs, and missing dismissal data.

Merge Risk: Low · up to dff37

The ID comparison fixes initial announcement visibility, but IDs containing a script-closing sequence can break initialization and display stray text. Escape the serialized ID; otherwise, merging requires accepting this narrow configuration edge case.

Explanation

Issue #12646 requires the pre-hydration script to compare the stored announcement ID with the configured ID. packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/index.ts passes announcementBar.id to getAnnouncementBarInlineScript. packages/docusaurus-theme-classic/src/inlineScripts.ts returns false unless the stored ID matches, then checks the dismissal flag. Tests cover a matching ID, a changed ID, and a first visit in inlineScripts.test.ts.

Escape the announcement ID before it enters the inline script.

getAnnouncementBarInlineScript interpolates JSON.stringify(announcementBarId) into a <script> body without escaping <. An announcementBar.id containing </script> closes the script element early. The rest of the script is then parsed as page HTML, and the initial-dismissal attribute is not set. Escape < in the serialized ID, for example with .replace(/</g, '\\u003c').
