Summary of Changes

Hello @michelebastione, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves an issue where an exception was not consistently thrown when an invalid sheet name, specifically one exceeding the maximum allowed length, was provided as a dictionary key during Excel export. The changes centralize sheet name validation into a dedicated helper method and integrate this validation across all relevant OpenXmlWriter methods, ensuring that any attempt to use an invalid sheet name now correctly results in an ArgumentException. A new test case confirms this corrected behavior.

Highlights

  • Centralized Sheet Name Validation: A new static helper method, ThrowIfInvalidSheetName, has been introduced in ThrowHelper.cs to centralize the validation logic for Excel sheet names, checking for null/empty names and names exceeding 31 characters.
  • Consistent Validation Application: Existing inline sheet name validation in OpenXmlWriter.cs has been replaced with a call to the new ThrowIfInvalidSheetName helper. Additionally, this validation is now applied when processing sheets from a dictionary in OpenXmlWriter.DefaultOpenXml.cs, ensuring consistent error handling.
  • New Test Case: A new test, TestIssue876, has been added to MiniExcelIssueTests.cs to specifically verify that an ArgumentException is correctly thrown when an attempt is made to create an Excel sheet with a name longer than 31 characters, addressing the reported issue.

Code Review

This pull request effectively addresses the issue of not throwing an exception for overly long sheet names when using a dictionary. The introduction of a centralized ThrowIfInvalidSheetName helper method is a great improvement for code maintainability and consistency. I've added one suggestion to enhance the new helper method by including the parameter name in the thrown exceptions, which improves debuggability. The addition of a unit test is also excellent.
