Summary

Storage was the last package without real request cancellation. `StorageRetryController.cancel()` only stopped the next retry attempt, the attempt already on the wire kept transferring, and downloads had no cancellation surface at all.

This wires storage requests to `abortTrigger` in `package:http` and exposes a `Future? abortSignal` on every upload method and both download methods on `StorageFileApi`, the same shape as `PostgrestBuilder.abortSignal` and `FunctionsClient.invoke`.

Changes

  • `Fetch` builds `AbortableRequest` / `AbortableMultipartRequest` and threads the signal through for uploads (`upload`, `uploadBinary`, `update`, `updateBinary`, `uploadToSignedUrl`, `uploadBinaryToSignedUrl`) and downloads (`download`, `downloadStream`).
  • Completing the signal throws `RequestAbortedException` (now re-exported from `supabase_storage`) and stops the retry loop outright. `RequestAbortedException` is a `ClientException` subclass, so the retry predicate excludes it explicitly.
  • `StorageRetryController` is removed. Breaking, so it ships in v3 with its own `MIGRATION.md` section.
  • `sdk-compliance.yaml`: `storage.file_buckets.request_cancellation` moves to `implemented` with the note dropped.

Tests

  • Abort in-flight upload, signed URL upload, download and streamed download all surface `RequestAbortedException`.
  • An abort during a retried upload does not send another attempt.
  • The signal reaches the request as its `abortTrigger`.

Closes #1829
SDK-1824

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added abort-signal support for uploads, updates, downloads, signed-URL transfers, and download streams.
    • Aborting a request now stops remaining retries and reports a RequestAbortedException.
    • RequestAbortedException is available through the storage library’s public API.
    • File transfer cancellation is now fully supported.
  • Breaking Changes

    • Removed StorageRetryController; use an optional abort signal instead.
    • Updated migration guidance and API documentation for the new cancellation behavior.

Storage requests are built with an abortTrigger, so completing the
Future<void> abortSignal passed to the upload and download methods
aborts the transfer already on the wire and stops any remaining
retries, the same shape as postgrest and functions. This replaces
StorageRetryController, which only stopped the next retry attempt.

Closes #1829
SDK-1824

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Storage replaces StorageRetryController with Future<void>? abortSignal. Upload and download requests now use abortable HTTP requests, surface RequestAbortedException, and exclude aborted uploads from retries. Tests, migration guidance, and compliance metadata are updated.

- Around line 229-250: Update _handleMultipartRequest and its retry backoff so
abortSignal is observed during retry delays, raising RequestAbortedException
without starting another request when it completes. Add a deterministic test
using a long initialDelay that aborts during backoff and verifies the exception
occurs before the delay expires with exactly one request attempt.

Comment thread packages/supabase_storage/lib/src/fetch.dart Outdated
The shared retry helper races its delay against an optional abortSignal
and never retries a RequestAbortedException, so an upload aborted while
waiting for the next attempt fails at once instead of sending another
request when the delay expires. Storage passes its signal through and
its retry predicate drops the special case.
