Description
Fix refactors the
mergeStructsfunction inpackages/snaps-utils/src/structs.tsto improve its robustness and prevent potential runtime errors. Previously, the function assumed that every struct in the merge would have a validrefinerfunction. In practice, this is not always guaranteed and could lead to errors if a struct does not implement arefiner.With this update, the function now explicitly checks whether
struct.refineris a function before calling it. This ensures that only valid refiners are invoked, making the code more reliable and easier to maintain.Changes
mergeStructsfunction to safely combine refiners from multiple structs.struct.refineris a function before invoking it.References
