Fall back to known text extensions and browser-provided MIME types when signature detection returns no result. Add YAML to the attachment allowlist and cover upload metadata behavior with unit tests.

Description

Plain-text attachments do not have binary signatures, so file-type returns no MIME type for formats such as TXT, Markdown, CSV, and YAML. The client consequently sent an empty type, which the API rejected with Invalid file type.

This change:

  • resolves known text extensions after signature detection;
  • falls back to the browser-provided MIME type for other files;
  • keeps signature detection authoritative when content and extension disagree;
  • rejects unsafe filenames before applying MIME fallbacks;
  • adds application/yaml to the backend attachment allowlist;
  • adds unit coverage for extension detection, browser fallback, signature precedence, and unsafe filenames.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

Not applicable. This change does not modify the UI.

Test Scenarios

  • pnpm --filter=@plane/services test — 6 tests passed.
  • pnpm --filter=@plane/services check:types — passed.
  • pnpm --filter=@plane/services check:lint — passed with 0 errors.
  • Formatting check for the changed service files — passed.
  • git diff --check — passed.

Unit tests verify:

  • TXT, YAML, and YML detection without a browser MIME type;
  • fallback to a browser-provided MIME type;
  • signature detection taking precedence over the filename;
  • unsafe filenames not receiving an extension fallback.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

File MIME detection now supports common text extensions, browser MIME fallback, and invalid filename handling. Tests cover these paths. The API attachment allowlist now accepts application/yaml, and the services package includes a Vitest test script.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes attachment uploads failing when the browser provides an empty MIME type (common for text-based files like .txt, .md, .csv, .yaml), by adding client-side MIME inference fallbacks while keeping signature-based detection authoritative. It also updates the API allowlist to accept YAML and adds unit coverage in @plane/services to prevent regressions.

Changes:

  • Add text-extension → MIME fallbacks (and browser File.type fallback) when signature detection yields no result.
  • Add unit tests covering extension fallback, browser fallback, signature precedence, and unsafe filename handling.
  • Allow application/yaml on the API side, and add vitest to @plane/services for running tests.

Add tests for all new extension mappings.

The helper adds .md, .markdown, and .csv, but this table covers only .txt, .yaml, and .yml. Add one case for each new mapping.

As per coding guidelines, “All features require unit tests using the existing test framework per package.”

Restore the console.warn spy after the test.

No Vitest configuration enables automatic mock restoration. Add an afterEach hook that calls vi.restoreAllMocks() to prevent mock leakage.
