Summary

  • Reject literal test and testset names containing :: during compilation with E0168, while preserving the runtime check for computed names.
  • Point users toward nested testset blocks and cover both top-level and nested declarations with CLI regression tests.
  • Clarify in the new baml run, baml test, and baml check detailed help that BAML does not auto-load .env files. The legacy baml-cli dotenv behavior and documentation remain unchanged.

Issue audit

The other concrete reports in #4422 are already resolved on current canary: the removed client<llm> form has been replaced by provider clients, plain == performs structural comparison (and the current skill documents it), fresh literal widening allows the reported reduce seed, and credential-source diagnostics now report both configured and canonical environment variables. The unstable command-list report has no current reproduction.

Testing

  • cargo test -p baml_cli --test test_profiles_e2e double_colon_is_reserved_inside_declared_test_names
  • cargo test -p baml_cli --test test_profiles_e2e nested_reserved_names_are_discovery_errors_not_sentinel_tests
  • cargo test -p baml_compiler2_ast --lib
  • cargo test -p baml_cli --lib
  • cargo build -p bridge_cffi && cargo test -p baml_bridge --lib
  • cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p bridge_wasm
  • mise run clippy-wasm

Fixes #4422

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@sxlijin, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 39 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 8 included reviews currently available.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds compile-time errors for literal test and testset names containing ::. It also documents external environment-variable loading in the baml check, baml run, and baml test help text.

Changes

Reserved test-name validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Invalid test-name diagnostic contract
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler_diagnostics/src/diagnostic.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_ast/src/lowering_diagnostic.rs
Adds InvalidTestName, renders the reserved-separator error, and maps it to E0167.
Test-name lowering integration
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_ast/src/lower_expr_body.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_ast/src/lower_cst.rs
Routes test and testset names through dedicated lowering and validates literal names containing ::.
Reserved-name CLI validation tests
baml_language/crates/baml_cli/tests/test_profiles_e2e.rs
Runs baml check for top-level and nested reserved names and verifies the reported errors.

CLI environment guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Environment help text
baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/check_command.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/run_command.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/test_command.rs
Documents that .env files are not loaded and that variables must be exported or loaded externally.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 18805

The PR adds compile-time diagnostics for reserved names and clarifies CLI environment-loading behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

I checked each name beneath the moon,
And caught two colons far too soon.
The compiler speaks: “Please nest instead,”
While .env notes guide paths ahead.
Hop, hop—clear help and errors bloom!
