Walkthrough

Two utility modules were updated to add defensive null checks and type conversion. Image parsing now uses helper functions to safely convert JSON values, and container stats processing now guards against null items and filters by container ID length.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Image parsing safety
lib/data/model/container/image.dart
Added private helper functions _asString() and _asInt() for type-safe JSON field conversion in PodmanImg.fromJson(). Helpers normalize null values and coerce types (empty string for null strings; null or parsed int for numeric fields). DockerImg remains unchanged.
Container stats null safety
lib/data/provider/container.dart
Added null check guard before iterating over state.items in stats parsing; returns early if null. Added filter to skip items with container IDs shorter than 5 characters. Refactored setType() to single-line copyWith. Removed top-level constant declaration.

Defensive improvements with consistent patterns across both files. Straightforward null-checks and type-conversion helpers require verification that they integrate cleanly with existing parsing logic and don't mask valid edge cases.

With helpers guarding what JSON yields,
No crashing stats, no type confusion—
Just safe conversions, sweet conclusion! 🛡️

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)
Check name Status Explanation
Description Check ✅ Passed Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title Check ✅ Passed The title "fix: container parsing" directly relates to the main objective of the pull request, which is to fix parsing errors in container stats from Podman (issue #946). The raw summary confirms changes to both the image model's type conversion logic and the container provider's parsing logic to address null-check and type-handling issues. While the title doesn't specify "stats" or "null checks," it accurately summarizes the primary fix being applied to container parsing functionality.
Linked Issues Check ✅ Passed The code changes directly address the requirements from issue #946. The pull request implements null-check guards in container stats parsing (returning early if items are null) and adds type-safe parsing helpers (_asString and _asInt) in the image model to normalize nulls and type conversions. These changes directly prevent the "Null check operator used on a null value" crash and the FormatException mentioned in the issue. The addition of an id length filter further protects against malformed container data that could cause parsing failures.
Out of Scope Changes Check ✅ Passed The code changes are primarily focused on addressing the parsing objective from issue #946. The core additions (null-check guards, type-safe helpers, and container id validation) are directly aligned with fixing the null-check crashes and FormatException errors reported. Minor refactoring elements such as the setType simplification and removal of a stray constant appear to be cleanup changes that support the main parsing fix objective and are typical of bug fix pull requests.
Docstring Coverage ✅ Passed No functions found in the changes. Docstring coverage check skipped.

39-46: LGTM! Safer JSON parsing with helper functions.

The refactored parsing using _asString and _asInt helpers improves robustness against malformed JSON data from Podman, directly addressing the parsing failures described in issue #946.


129-134: LGTM! Correct nullable int conversion.

The _asInt helper correctly preserves null values and handles multiple numeric types, aligning well with the nullable int? fields in PodmanImg.

lib/data/provider/container.dart (2)

176-178: Good defensive check! Fixes the null-check crash.

Extracting state.items and returning early if null prevents the "Null check operator used on a null value" error reported in issue #946. This is the correct fix since there are no container items to update with stats.


182-182: LGTM! Prevents substring out-of-bounds.

Skipping containers with id.length < 5 is a sensible safeguard since line 186 uses substring(0, 5) for matching. This prevents crashes on malformed or abbreviated container IDs that might appear in Podman output.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Consider preserving null instead of empty string.

The _asString helper returns an empty string for null values, but PodmanImg fields (repository, tag, id) are declared as nullable String?. This changes the semantics: a missing JSON field now becomes '' instead of null. Downstream code that distinguishes between null (missing) and empty (present but empty) may behave unexpectedly.

Consider preserving null:

 String _asString(dynamic val) {
-  if (val == null) return '';
+  if (val == null) return null;
   if (val is String) return val;
   return val.toString();
 }

Then update the return type:

-String _asString(dynamic val) {
+String? _asString(dynamic val) {
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In lib/data/model/container/image.dart around lines 123 to 127, _asString
currently converts null to an empty string which loses the original null
semantics of PodmanImg nullable fields; change _asString to return String?
(nullable) and return null when val is null, keep returning String for String
inputs and val.toString() for other non-null inputs, then update any call sites
or variable typings that expect a non-null String to accept String? so
repository, tag, id remain nullable rather than becoming ''.
