app.js exported `esc` as an implicit global back when it was a classic
script. a9fce29 made it an ES module and 14b4058 carved `esc` into
js/dom.js; the window re-export list was rebuilt without it.
Out-of-tree plugins load screen.js as a classic script and call `esc()`
bare, so nothing in-tree catches the break: no-undef, a call-graph scan
and a grep all pass while the plugin throws in the field. The MIDI
plugin builds its device list with esc() inside the same try block that
catches requestMIDIAccess() failures, so the ReferenceError surfaced to
testers as "MIDI Access denied esc is not defined" — access had actually
been granted.
Pin the whole plugin-facing global surface by name, mirroring
tests/test_plugin_context_contract.py. Verified both ways against a
running app: without the fix the spec fails with "missing or not
functions: esc".

Browser Tests
This directory contains Playwright browser tests for FeedBack keyboard shortcuts.
Prerequisites
-
FeedBack web server: Tests need the server reachable at
http://localhost:8000. Playwright auto-starts it viawebServer.commandinplaywright.config.ts, so manual startup is optional. Start it manually if you want to debug the server, run tests outside Playwright, or skip the per-run boot delay:LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/your/library docker compose up -dPlaywright reuses an already-running server locally (
reuseExistingServer: true). -
Node.js installed: Required for running Playwright tests
node --version # Should be v18 or higher
Installation
Install dependencies:
npm install
Install Playwright browsers:
npm run install:playwright
Running Tests
Run all tests:
npm test
Run tests in headed mode (watch the browser):
npm run test:headed
Debug tests with interactive inspector:
npm run test:debug

Writing Tests
Tests use Playwright's test API. Example:
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('my test', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/');
await page.waitForSelector('.screen.active');
// Interact with the page
await page.keyboard.press('?');
// Assert
await expect(page.locator('#shortcuts-modal')).toBeVisible();
});
Troubleshooting
Container won't start
If the Docker container exits immediately, check the logs:
docker compose logs
Common issue: Missing dependencies. Rebuild the container:
docker compose build --no-cache
docker compose up -d
Tests timeout
Increase timeout in playwright.config.ts if needed.
LIBRARY_PATH not set
Make sure to set the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
LIBRARY_PATH=~/feedBack-library docker compose up -d
CI/CD
In CI environments, Playwright will:
- Run tests in headless mode
- Retry failed tests up to 2 times
- Generate HTML report with screenshots/videos on failure
