For devtools to be able to inspect animations, it will need to listen to notifications for changes to existing animations, creation of new ones, etc.

This bug will be for implementing the notification/observer mechanism.  Other bugs depending on this one will be for specific events.
Blocks: 1123524
Boris, I'm planning on adding some kind observation API for chrome to watch for Web Animations API state changes.  I can think of a few ways of doing it: (1) dispatching DOM Events, (2) dispatching Mutation Observer like notifications, (3) having something like nsIDocumentObserver (or even extending that very interface).  The state changes can happen in response to script in the page poking at the animation objects, and perhaps the observers might want to poke at the animation objects in response.  Given that, should I prefer one of the three approaches above, or is there a fourth way?

Also, if I go for something other than (1), should I be adding a ChromeOnly .webidl interface rather than an XPIDL one?
See comment 1.
Flags: needinfo?(bzbarsky)
Just a couple of extra considerations:
* State changes can also happen in response to style flushes
* We will eventually want to standardise something in this area since it should be possible to build animation dev tools without chrome privileges
nsIDocumentObserver is not terribly scriptable, right?

Extending mutation observers makes sense to me, I think, but interested in what Olli thinks.  Seems to me like this will still not need new interfaces created...
Flags: needinfo?(bzbarsky) → needinfo?(bugs)
Since our DOM MutationObserver is implemented as an implementation of
nsIMutationObserver, and nsIDocumentObserver extends nsIMutationObserver, adding
some [ChromeOnly] stuff to MutationObserver sounds ok.

Need to be just a bit careful when to fire the notifications äwhich then call nsIMutationObserver objects so
that we don't slow down performance too much.
Given bug 1034110, perhaps we could add
nsIDevtoolsMutationObserver (which extends nsIMutationObserver) or some such, and MutationObserver would be
the one to use it. Then nsDocument would have a flag to indicate if there are any MutationObservers using the
devtools specific observing stuff, and nsNodeUtils would fire the notifications only if that is the case,
and to fire the notifications, it would need to QI nsIMutationObservers to nsIDevtoolsMutationObserver.

A question is, do we always have a clear "target" node for the animations?
And what would the MutationRecord look like? MutationRecord could be extended to have some
[ChromeOnly] stuff.

We currently do, but in future we probably won't. It should be possible to create an animation without a target element and attach a custom javascript sample callback to it (or simply leave it empty and use it for timing purposes). I'm not sure when we'll get to implementing that part though, it might not be for quite a while.
Attached patch WIP v0.1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Olli, could you take a look at what I have so far in terms of the mutation observers?  I've done this:

* added an nsIAnimationObserver that inherits from nsIMutationObserver
* added a separate nsAnimationReceiver that inherits from nsMutationReceiver
* in nsDOMMutationObserver, created an nsAnimationReceiver when animations:true
  is passed to MutationObserver.observe(), or an nsMutationReceiver otherwise
* added a flag on nsIDocument that records whether an nsIAnimationObserver has
  been registered on a node in the document
* added an nsAutoAnimationMutationBatch class to handle batching of animation
  notifications

The split between nsMutationReceiver and nsAnimationReceiver is a bit awkward, which makes me wonder whether nsIAnimationObserver should not inherit from nsIMutationObserver and instead we just keep a separate list of them on nodes.

Also see the addition of NS_OBSERVER_ARRAY_NOTIFY_OBSERVERS_WITH_QI in nsTObserverArray.h that lets me notify nsIAnimationObservers in the nsIMutationObserver list.

The mechanism I used to determine whether we can skip dispatching nsIAnimationObserver notifications at all is whether an nsIAnimationObserver was registered.  In order to make MutationObserver.observe(..., { animations: true }) trigger this, but other MutationObserver.observe() calls not, I needed to separate the receiver classes so that only the one needed to translate animation events into MutationRecords implements nsIAnimationObserver
Well, couldn't you just use animations: true as a flag somewhere?

But looking the patch...
Not nsIAnimationObserver is a general internal mechanism separate from the MutationObservers, since it's the former we want to avoid dispatching if we can.
*Not if
Boris, I want to make the .webidl additions in this patch [ChromeOnly].  That's fine for the new MutationRecord members, but it doesn't work for the animations dictionary member on MutationObserverInit.  Should I add support for [ChromeOnly] on dictionary members (treating it as if the property weren't specified in non-chrome documents) or should I be doing the same kind of checks myself that ChromeOnly does in nsDOMMutationObserver::Observe?

MutationRecord is getting rather heavy. I guess we'll need to have specialized MutationRecords for different types.
But that can be done in a separate bug.

Oh, that is a bit ugly.
I would add
void AddAnimationObserver( and UnlessExists)(nsIAnimationObserver*)
which then calls AddMutationObserverUnlessExists and 
OwnerDoc()->SetMayHaveAnimationObservers();

It would be up to the nsMutationReceiverBase to use the right one.
Usually that could get the information from the parent receiver, but for the
root receiver, created in nsDOMMutationObserver::GetReceiverFor, one would need to
pass explicitly the flag whether to observe animations. And you do that with your patch already.

In other words, I'm missing to see the reason for AnimationReceiver, or I think
supporting one QI isn't strong enough reason to have it.

I hope this isn't too slow. Probably not if we don't have too many observers.

Somewhat surprising to see AnimationPlayer objects in the MutationRecord.
I would have expected MutationRecord to tell about the state change.
That is how MutationObserver works now - it is all about state changes so that one can reconstruct what has happened.
Or do I misunderstand what AnimationPlayer represents.

OK, I can do that.  And assert in AddMutationObserver(UnlessExists) that the nsIMutationObserver isn't also an nsIAnimationObserver?

With that approach then yes there is no need to separate the Receiver classes.

Do you think it is still best to keep the nsIAnimationObservers in mMutationObservers, rather than adding a separate mAnimationObservers on Slots?

Yeah, they do; I can remove these calls.

There are two things I want to expose currently.  One is addition and removal of AnimationPlayer objects from the list of AnimationPlayers that target an Element.  This is effectively the same as changes to the list of AnimationPlayers returned by Element.getAnimationPlayers().  Knowing the order isn't important.  The second thing is notifying changes to the timing state of an AnimationPlayer.  I'm not exposing the details of exactly what changed, since the consumer probably doesn't need that level of detail.

It would be a bit tricky to set things like mPreviousAnimationSibling/mNextAnimationSibling to know where the AnimationPlayers were added/removed from the list, so I guess I'd rather not, if it's not providing information the consumer will use.

Do you still think MutationObservers are the right mechanism to expose these notifications with?
Adding support for ChromeOnly dictionary members makes some sense if we want this to really be invisible to content code.  Anything else would be web-observable, right?

Does the IDL grammar even allow extended attributes on dictionary members right now?

The other non-web-observable option is to have a observeChrome method on MutationObserver, but that seems really hacky...

In the spec it does.

Yeah that doesn't sound great.  I'll look into ChromeOnly on the dictionary member.

If this is for devtools usage for now, then definitely no separate thing on slots.
Slots is getting way too heavy anyway.

Ok, that similar to changes to childList in DOM. Fine

How often do we get new / remove AnimationPlayers?
If that happens relatively rarely, perhaps chrome only Event which has the AnimationPlayer object as an
attribute would be simpler.
comment 1 was talking about state changes, so I was perhaps thinking about different kind of state changes than adding/removing players.
The add/remove notifications happen at the start/end of every CSS transition and animation.  The change notifications happen only if you change some properties of a CSS animation (such as its duration) while it is running.  It turns out due to the way AnimationPlayer objects get created in response to style changes, the coalescing that nsAutoAnimationMutationBatch helps avoid exposing some temporarily created objects.

I think for now I'll continue with the MutationObserver approach.

Part 2: Add an "animations" option for MutationObservers and expose chrome-only AnimationPlayer/animation members on MutationRecords.

Ok, this depends on bug 1141916, and if that takes some time, one could explicitly check that the caller is chrome if .animations was used.

Could you file a followup bug to decrease the size of MutationRecords
(we effectively want to have different storage for different record types I think, at least if we don't get MutationRecords to be GC'ed during minor GCs, Bug 1120016).

Could you perhaps use nsMutationReceiver* here, not nsRefPtr<nsMutationReceiver> to reduce the extra addref/release

This could also use raw nsMutationReceiver* so that extra addref/release is avoided.

So this makes us behave a bit differently. AddObserver
always calls mRegisterTarget->SetMayHaveDOMMutationObserver(); but currently the flag isn't set for transient observers.
Could you please not change that behavior, so that GetReceiverFor and especially GetAllSubtreeObserversFor isn't de-optimized.
I guess AddObserver could just check if mParent is null, and only in that case call SetMayHaveDOMMutationObserver stuff.

I was a bit concerned this would end up generating spurious records but I believe nsAutoAnimationMutationBatch (in a later patch) filters out the redundant records for us. Let me know if I've misunderstood, however.

I don't think I quite understand how this works. Is the idea here to make sure we end up calling nsNodeUtils::AnimationRemoved if we haven't already (once part 8 is applied)? If so, what causes UpdateRelevance to notice that this player is no longer relevant? Are we relying on the source content to have been nulled out first? I'm pretty sure I'm missing something here.

Thinking out loud here, I wonder how all this should work once we allow manipulating these properties directly.

For example, now if you do

  elem.style.animation = "move 3s";

Then after 2s you do

  elem.style.animationDuration = "1s";
  elem.clientTop;

You'll get an animationremoved record (I think so, anyway, but Jonathan told me yesterday we didn't appear to be honouring dynamic changes to animation-duration).

Later you'll be able to do:

  player.source.timing.duration = 1000;

(If it's a CSS animation, you'll have a set a mutable copy of the animation first, of course.)

Should that update the relevance immediately?

What if you do:

  player.source.timing.duration = 1000;
  // Current time is now past the end of the active interval
  player.source.timing.delay = 1500;
  // Current time is now back in the active interval

Should you get animationremoved and animationadded in that case?

If, for example, we spec that changes to these timing properties queue a task to check the player's relevance then we could probably use that same mechanism here.

I think we can look into this when we do finishing behavior (bug 1074630) since the same question arises there, i.e. should this kind of redundant change trigger the finished promise to be resolved? (At first I thought, "no", but if you were to query the playState in between those lines it would return "finished" so maybe the answer is "yes"?). Eventually I think updating the relevance will get lumped together with updating finished state so whatever we decide there will probably apply here too.

I guess that only works if we have a nsAutoAnimationMutationBatch in place, however. Once we expose this method to script we'll need to be careful to add one here so that:

  player.source = new Animation(...);

doesn't generate spurious records.

Review of attachment 8575840 [details] [diff] [review]:

r=me with that comment addressed.

As I understand it, we don't need any changes to nsTransitionManager.cpp because transitions don't change once they start and all the add/removed notification is handled in part 7 and the AnimationPlayer/Animation.

We don't need to compare the mSampleValues. That's calculated from the other parameters. It's just a cached lookup table for getting a faster initial guess.

Part 10: Tests.

Review of attachment 8575841 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This looks great! One thing I'd like to see however, is a couple more tests for redundant changes.

For example, change the delay of an animation by some trivial amount then cancel it (e.g. by setting the duration to be much shorter) and test that we only get a removed record, not a changed record.

Likewise, for an animation that gets added and changed within the same style flush.

Similarly, adding an animation whose negative delay means it is already finished should probably not generate any records.

And then tweaking two properties at once that cancel each other out with regards to making the animation relevant.

Do any of those seem worthwhile testing to you?

Also, there's the subtree: true tests you mentioned.

Does this work? I was under the impression that, for example, calling:

flushed style, while:

 getComputedStyle(e).marginLeft

flushed layout. Is that true? And if so, is this doing what we want?

This seems like a long time to wait. Bug 1072037 should now be on m-c so we can seek animations by setting their currentTime (and bug 1073379 has been there a little longer which also lets us seek animations by setting their startTime). Perhaps we can add something like players[0].currentTime += 1000 here instead?

We could just wait for animationend here. Since we use endpoint-exclusive timing, even if we happen to land at *exactly* the end of the active interval we will still only be considered relevant if we have a forwards fill.

Indeed we can.  (An earlier version of the patch did some other operations on the newly created receiver object that did an AddRef/Release before it got registered on the node, which caused me to hold on to it strongly here.)

Yeah I guess it doesn't matter what value aWantsAnimations takes when looking up an existing observer.

But I realise now that I meant to make subtree:true work with animation observers, and I haven't handled that yet.  I'll work on a followup patch for that.

Isn't the flag currently set for transient receivers too?  Both of nsMutationReceiverBase's constructors call SetMayHaveDOMMutationObserver currently.

I can add that check, but please confirm for me that we're not doing that check already.

It will, but that makes me think that we don't need two UpdateRelevance calls, just the one at the end; it'll always be the same AnimationPlayer object that it'll send notifications for.

So yes, it was to ensure we end up calling AnimationRemoved, but I added this early on in the patch queue development and I neglected to record the test I was using that seemed to need it.  I probably was assuming that mSource had been nulled out at that point, but if that's the case, then UpdateSource should then catch it.

Are there cases where we will be destroying an AnimationPlayer while mIsRelevant is true, and we should be dispatching the animation removed notification by doing something in the destructor -- SetSource(nullptr) maybe?

I think this is working; one of the tests in part 10 does that.

Good question.  What happens when you call play() or cancel()?  Does that have an immediate effect, or does it go around the event loop first?  Probably it should be the same if you update the timing properties like this directly.

Because of how the notifications are batched, I think you should get a single animationchanged notification.  The assignment to duration will batch an animationchanged, updating relevance will batch an animationremoved, then the second statement will remove the animationremoved from the batch, leaving the animationchanged.

One thing the batching won't handle "correctly" is making a change to the timing and then reverting that change.  We'll still have recorded a change on the batch object, so will dispatch an animationchanged notification.  I'm not sure if that's really an issue though -- I think DOM mutations are handled in the same way (e.g. if you change an attribute to one value, then change it again to its original value, before the observers are notified).

Yes.  I am not sure if this is what we want or not; matching start() and play() behaviour is the only constraint I can think of.

No it doesn't.  Turns out anyway I don't need to flush, since all of those flush() calls are followed either by an await_frame or a DOM call that does a style flush for me.  I will remove all the flush() calls.

Yes we should.
So we already do have some immediate change notifications going out: when changing AnimationPlayer.currentTime, we'll queue a notification without batching it.  So if you do two consecutive currentTime assignments, you'll get to animation change notifications.  If we really wanted to batch these, I'm not sure where the appropriate place to stick an nsAutoAnimationMutationBatch object would be.  But I think it's probably OK that they don't get batched.
Upon reflection, one of these tests might not be worth adding.

(In reply to Brian Birtles (:birtles) from comment #40)

If it is within the same style flush, then this is just the same as assigning to e.style multiple times.  This is equivalent to just setting the final styles in one go, so I don't think we gain anything by testing this.  (Once we have the ability to change an animation through the Web Animations API, we can add such a test.)

Oh, this works just fine.  I forgot traversing up the tree is handled by the IMPL_ANIMATION_NOTIFICATION macro in nsNodeUtils.cpp rather than something in nsDOMMutationObserver.cpp.

I've added subtree tests to test_animation_observers.html just by running all tests again while observing the parent rather than the animation target.
