* fix(player): Space bar play/pause when focus is on sidebar or rail buttons When any <button> in the player rail (viz, audio, mixer, etc.), a sidebar nav link, or a popover control has keyboard focus, pressing Space was blocked by _shortcutDispatchBlocked → _isInsideInteractiveControl, which returns true for BUTTON elements. The Space shortcut never reached the shortcut dispatcher and togglePlay() was never called. The fix extends the same carve-out pattern already used for the section practice bar: when the player screen is active, Space is always dispatched through the shortcut system. The shortcut handler's preventDefault() stops the focused element from also activating, so this is not a double-trigger. * test(player): cover Space play/pause carve-out + add CHANGELOG entry Adds two Playwright regression tests for #593 in tests/browser/keyboard-shortcuts.spec.ts: - Space toggles play/pause when a player rail <button> has focus, and the focused button does NOT also activate (dispatcher preventDefault). Fails on base (Space blocked, played=0), passes with the carve-out. - Space in a player-screen text input still types a space and never reaches play/pause (locks the _isTextInput exemption ordering). Also records the fix under CHANGELOG [Unreleased] -> Fixed, per the project workflow that every PR updates the changelog. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(player): don't override Space inside modal dialogs over the player The player-screen Space carve-out keyed off the active *screen*, so it also hijacked Space inside a true modal dialog layered over the player (e.g. the keyboard-shortcuts help modal, edit modal): Space toggled playback behind the modal and preventDefault blocked the modal's focused control (Close) from activating — contradicting aria-modal semantics. Narrow the carve-out to skip focus inside a modal (role="dialog" aria-modal="true" or .feedBack-modal). Non-modal player popovers/toasts (loop A/B, arrangement pin, role=dialog aria-modal=false) are not dialogs and stay covered, so the original fix is unchanged for the cases it targeted. Adds a Playwright regression test (Space inside a modal reaches the modal's button, not play/pause) and updates the CHANGELOG entry.

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
