[web-animations-1] Publish new Working Draft

[birtles]

Hi,

I would like to publish a new working draft of Web Animations level 1.

It has been over 2 years since the last working draft was published. In that time the following changes have been made:

• Made the definition of a current animation effect incorporate the associated animation’s playback rate ([web-animations-1] The definition of a current effect should reflect the playback rate #3193).
• Updated the steps for resolving which properties to use when calculating computed keyframes when physical and logical properties are used.
• Introduced steps for removing animations that have been overridden: § 5.5 Replacing animations.
  • Added a new remove event to signal when this process occurs.
  • Added corresponding IDL members to the Animation interface: replaceState, onremove, persist.
• Added the commitStyles method to the Animation interface to allow preserving the result of an animation that has been removed.
• Added an options parameter to the getAnimations() method on the Animatable interface to allow fetching all animations on descendants of a particular element.
• Moved the definition of getAnimations() from the Document interface to the DocumentOrShadowRoot interface mixin so that it can be used with ShadowRoots as well.

As far as I know, all these changes have been implemented in all three major browser engines.

With regards to progressing the spec to REC, the last major issue is #5394 which all the major browser vendors have agreed upon. I have started on the spec/test/implementation work but it will take more time. After that, the remaining issues are hopefully minor.

I don't expect to be on the call unfortunately.

<dael> plinss: Shoudln't be an issue. 1 line of script
<dael> plinss: Probably auto-gen by bikeshed
<dael> TabAtkins: Yeah, part of boilerplate. Can remove temp.
<dael> astearns: Not bikeshed flag?
<dael> TabAtkins: No, can kill it from boilerplate
<dael> astearns: Sounds good. Can you add comment to the issue reminding us to put it back in?

@fantasai I was wondering what "this" is from your comment:

fantasai: Can we disable test harness, publish, and repub when we figure this out?

Is there something I need to disable before publishing the WD?

[tabatkins]

If you're on most current main of Bikeshed, the testharness annotations are disabled for CSSWG specs currently, so it'll work.

[birtles]

Thanks! I recently switched to installing bikeshed through pip3 rather than a local checkout so I guess I'm not.
(I've updated it a few hours ago but bikeshed --version just returns ???.)

[birtles]

I finally got a trunk version of bikeshed running. I fixed the dark mode colors from 9586314 too since the validator didn't like rgba() without commas.

However, now I get stuck with The document could not be published: Cannot read property 'message' of undefined

@fantasai Any idea who I should ask?

[tabatkins]

Ooof, that looks like a bug in the publication code. @plehegar?

[svgeesus]

It does; especially because Specberus (pubrules checker) was already passed

@birtles if it is still not working by Wednesday let me know and I will publish it manually. (Or try to, since we don't know what triggers the error)

[birtles]

@svgeesus Thanks! I just retried now and I get the same error (log here).

(Note to self: When publishing in the morning in Japan, you need to add Date: <yesterday's date in yyyy-mm-dd format> or else Specberus complains, "The publication date of this document must be set to today".)

[svgeesus]

Hmm

[EXCEPTION] The document could not be parsed, it's neither a TR document nor a Member Submission.
[EXCEPTION] The document date could not be parsed.

Pubrules checker is unhappy :(

ED has been updated accordingly (or at least it will be once CI finishes running).
