From 78aff95bf5463e50e92bc1f714be2c8245df35c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: daniel-lxs Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 16:00:26 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix: make cancel button immediately responsive during streaming (#9435) Previously, clicking Cancel during streaming/reasoning would appear unresponsive for 1-70+ seconds because: - Cancel only set an abort flag checked between stream chunks - If the endpoint was slow or hung, the next chunk would never arrive - No mechanism existed to cancel the underlying HTTP request This fix introduces AbortController-based cancellation: - Task.currentRequestAbortController tracks the active request - ClineProvider.cancelTask() calls task.cancelCurrentRequest() - cancelCurrentRequest() immediately aborts the HTTP stream - Both first chunk and subsequent chunks race with abort signal - When aborted, Promise.race rejects immediately (~100ms) Impact: - Before: 1-70+ second delays waiting for next chunk/timeout - After: ~100ms response time regardless of endpoint state - Tested with slow streaming, hung endpoints, and normal cases Fixes #9435 --- src/core/task/Task.ts | 76 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts | 74 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts | 4 ++ 3 files changed, 151 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/core/task/Task.ts b/src/core/task/Task.ts index 7c0355e4982..1fa10a0ea22 100644 --- a/src/core/task/Task.ts +++ b/src/core/task/Task.ts @@ -215,6 +215,7 @@ export class Task extends EventEmitter implements TaskLike { providerRef: WeakRef private readonly globalStoragePath: string abort: boolean = false + currentRequestAbortController?: AbortController // TaskStatus idleAsk?: ClineMessage @@ -1690,6 +1691,18 @@ export class Task extends EventEmitter implements TaskLike { await this.initiateTaskLoop(newUserContent) } + /** + * Cancels the current HTTP request if one is in progress. + * This immediately aborts the underlying stream rather than waiting for the next chunk. + */ + public cancelCurrentRequest(): void { + if (this.currentRequestAbortController) { + console.log(`[Task#${this.taskId}.${this.instanceId}] Aborting current HTTP request`) + this.currentRequestAbortController.abort() + this.currentRequestAbortController = undefined + } + } + public async abortTask(isAbandoned = false) { // Aborting task @@ -1719,6 +1732,13 @@ export class Task extends EventEmitter implements TaskLike { public dispose(): void { console.log(`[Task#dispose] disposing task ${this.taskId}.${this.instanceId}`) + // Cancel any in-progress HTTP request + try { + this.cancelCurrentRequest() + } catch (error) { + console.error("Error cancelling current request:", error) + } + // Remove provider profile change listener try { if (this.providerProfileChangeListener) { @@ -2163,10 +2183,34 @@ export class Task extends EventEmitter implements TaskLike { try { const iterator = stream[Symbol.asyncIterator]() - let item = await iterator.next() + + // Helper to race iterator.next() with abort signal + const nextChunkWithAbort = async () => { + const nextPromise = iterator.next() + + // If we have an abort controller, race it with the next chunk + if (this.currentRequestAbortController) { + const abortPromise = new Promise((_, reject) => { + const signal = this.currentRequestAbortController!.signal + if (signal.aborted) { + reject(new Error("Request cancelled by user")) + } else { + signal.addEventListener("abort", () => { + reject(new Error("Request cancelled by user")) + }) + } + }) + return await Promise.race([nextPromise, abortPromise]) + } + + // No abort controller, just return the next chunk normally + return await nextPromise + } + + let item = await nextChunkWithAbort() while (!item.done) { const chunk = item.value - item = await iterator.next() + item = await nextChunkWithAbort() if (!chunk) { // Sometimes chunk is undefined, no idea that can cause // it, but this workaround seems to fix it. @@ -2537,6 +2581,8 @@ export class Task extends EventEmitter implements TaskLike { } } finally { this.isStreaming = false + // Clean up the abort controller when streaming completes + this.currentRequestAbortController = undefined } // Need to call here in case the stream was aborted. @@ -3154,6 +3200,10 @@ export class Task extends EventEmitter implements TaskLike { ...(shouldIncludeTools ?
