Common Bugs in Poolside-Generated Code

The most common bugs we find in Poolside apps and how to fix them. Real examples from production code reviews.

Why Poolside code has bugs

Enterprise codebases have thousands of internal APIs that may not all be in Poolside's context window. C++ has complex rules around memory, object lifetime, and undefined behavior that are difficult for any system to fully reason about

The most common bugs

Poolside's completions for complex enterprise codebases can reference internal APIs with slightly wrong signatures — correct in intent but with argument type or order that doesn't match the actual declaration. C++ completions may produce code that compiles in isolation but has undefined behavior or memory safety issues

How to find these bugs

Start by running your app through its complete user flow — sign up, use every feature, try edge cases like empty inputs and invalid data. Most Poolside bugs surface when you go off the happy path. Use your browser's developer tools to watch for console errors, failed network requests, and unhandled promise rejections. TypeScript's strict mode will catch many issues at compile time if it's not already enabled.

Fixing patterns

For async errors, wrap every server-side operation in try/catch blocks and return meaningful error messages. For state bugs, consider whether the state belongs in the URL, in a server component, or in client state — Poolside often defaults to client state when server state would be more appropriate. For data fetching issues, implement proper loading and error states for every data-dependent component.

Prevention

The best way to prevent Poolside bugs from reaching production: enable TypeScript strict mode, add ESLint rules for common mistakes (no-floating-promises, exhaustive-deps), and write tests for critical user flows. Even basic smoke tests catch the majority of issues.
