[BUG]: Fix Malformed runStep Method Causing TypeScript Compilation Failure #48

@arpit2006

Description

@arpit2006

Bug Summary

The runtime.ts file contains a malformed and duplicated implementation of the runStep method. Around lines 280–320, the method declaration appears to overlap with logic from runStepWithRetry, resulting in an invalid function signature and mismatched function body.

This causes TypeScript syntax and compilation errors, preventing successful builds.


Problem Statement

The current implementation contains:

  • Duplicate or partially merged method declarations.
  • Invalid parameter definitions.
  • Overlapping code blocks between runStep and runStepWithRetry.
  • Unbalanced braces and/or incorrect method structure.
  • TypeScript parser failures during compilation.

As a result, the project cannot be built successfully.


Location

File: runtime.ts

Approximate Lines: 280–320


Current Behavior

TypeScript compilation fails due to syntax errors in the runStep implementation.

Possible errors may include:

Unexpected token
Declaration or statement expected
',' expected
'}' expected
Cannot find name
Duplicate function implementation

Expected Behavior

  • runStep should have a single valid method declaration.
  • runStepWithRetry and runStep should be implemented as separate methods.
  • Function signatures should match their implementations.
  • TypeScript should compile successfully without syntax errors.

Proposed Solution

  1. Review the runStep implementation around lines 280–320.

  2. Remove duplicated or partially merged method declarations.

  3. Separate logic belonging to:

    • runStep
    • runStepWithRetry
  4. Ensure braces, parameters, and return types are correctly defined.

  5. Run TypeScript build validation after the fix.

Example structure:

private async runStep(...) {
  // implementation
}

private async runStepWithRetry(...) {
  // implementation
}

Acceptance Criteria

  • Remove malformed or duplicated method declarations.
  • Restore valid TypeScript syntax.
  • Ensure runStep and runStepWithRetry are clearly separated.
  • Project builds successfully.
  • No TypeScript compilation errors remain.
  • Existing runtime functionality remains unchanged.

Impact

High

This issue prevents successful compilation and can block development, testing, and deployment workflows until resolved.


Additional Notes

After implementing the fix:

  1. Run the TypeScript compiler.
  2. Verify all tests pass.
  3. Confirm runtime execution behaves as expected.
  4. Ensure no regressions are introduced in step execution or retry handling.
