📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds tab-aware error scrolling, explicit form field names, and tabpanel identifiers. It updates selection plan and event type forms to use the enhanced useScrollToError hook and adds tests for scrolling and tab activation.

Changes

Form error navigation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tab-aware scrolling hook
src/hooks/useScrollToError.js, src/hooks/__tests__/useScrollToError.test.js
The hook finds visible error fields, activates the owning tab for hidden fields, waits for layout updates, and scrolls to the first error. Tests cover tabbed, visible, and non-tabbed fields.
Selection plan form integration
src/components/forms/selection-plan-form.js, src/components/forms/selection-plan-form/main-tab.js, src/components/forms/selection-plan-form/email-templates-tab.js, src/components/forms/selection-plan-form/track-chair-settings-tab.js, src/components/forms/__tests__/selection-plan-form.test.js
The selection plan form uses useScrollToError with Formik state and tab activation. Form controls now provide matching name values.
Event dialog tab integration
src/pages/events/components/event-type-dialog.js, src/pages/events/components/__tests__/event-type-dialog.test.js
The event dialog passes setActiveTab to the hook and adds identifiers and tabpanel roles to both tab panels. Tests verify the integration.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6601e

Tab-aware validation navigation may occasionally scroll or focus based on stale form state after a tab change. This is a bounded usability risk that should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Cancel both deferred animation frames in afterNextLayout. The helper drops both RAF IDs, and the effect returns no cleanup. If errorCount changes or the form unmounts before the second frame, the callback still runs with the previous errorArray and may scroll a resolved field. Store both IDs, cancel them in the helper cleanup, and return that cleanup from the effect.

Track error-key changes, not only errorCount.

event-type-dialog.js can replace Formik errors through formik.setErrors(errors). If the replacement keeps the same count, the hook effect does not run. An error in an inactive tab therefore does not activate its tab or scroll to its field. Track previous error keys and trigger when a new key appears. Add a regression test for same-count external error replacement.
