@Stonebanks-js please resolve the issues

Stonebanks-js · 2025-10-13T06:19:55Z

@DhanushNehru I have resolved the issue kindly run the check, it is the connection failure in the vercel deployment but no error in my code, as the github copilot has sent me the notification "No Conflicts in the main branch "

As the code is dependent on other pull requests and commiting changes maybe it will be resolved by itself

Kindly merge it into the main and if you can tell me some changes to fix, mention them I will re run all the checks.

I have attached the 3rd attempt of running the code and it shows no conflicts with main branch.

Stonebanks-js · 2025-10-13T06:54:06Z

@DhanushNehru This is to inform you that in my latest 2 commits, named as "Enhancements of Output panel" and "Resolved Linting Errors"

I have resolved all the linting errors locally, the checks have no errors and the repository is also now synced correctly.

also the 2nd commit resolves my issue number 200.

if you want a 2nd pull request for issue 200 then kindly inform me, or else this pull request will resolved both the active issues

Final Comment - there are no conflicts with the main branch. All the checks have passed

+import { Editor } from "@monaco-editor/react";
+import { FaPlay, FaFileUpload, FaFileDownload, FaCopy, FaTrash } from "react-icons/fa";


[nitpick] The FaCopy and FaTrash icons are imported but may not be consistently used throughout the codebase. Consider grouping all icon imports or using a consistent icon library pattern.

+      textArea.select();
+      try {
+        document.execCommand("copy");


The document.execCommand('copy') method is deprecated. Consider using the modern Clipboard API exclusively or implementing a more robust fallback strategy.

+    const outputText = Array.isArray(output) ? output.join("\n") : output.toString();


[nitpick] This logic for converting output to text is duplicated in the output rendering section. Consider extracting this into a utility function to reduce code duplication.

Suggested change

const outputText = Array.isArray(output) ? output.join("\n") : output.toString();

const outputText = outputToText(output);

+  overflow-y: auto;
+  max-height: calc(100% - 60px);
+  font-family: 'Monaco', 'Menlo', 'Ubuntu Mono', monospace;


[nitpick] The font-family declaration uses specific font names that may not be available on all systems. Consider defining this as a CSS custom property or using system font stacks for better consistency.

The document.execCommand('copy') method is deprecated. Consider using a more modern clipboard library or ensure the primary clipboard API path is robust enough that this fallback is rarely needed.

import React, { useCallback, useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react";

+    border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08);

+}


Using prefers-color-scheme for dark mode detection may not align with the application's theme system. Consider using CSS classes or theme variables that match the existing theme implementation instead of relying on system preferences.
