Justin Halsall e4e73596ec Migrates to vite@6 to drop base64 inlined worker source from all bundles (#1762)
* chore: maintain CSS output file name in vite@6.0.1

Without this change, build would fail because the produced stylesheet assumes
the `package.json['name']` i.e., `styles/rrweb.css`. To maintain the existing
behavior, these changes are required.

See https://vite.dev/guide/migration.html#customize-css-output-file-name-in-library-mode
* build(rrvideo): upgrade playwright from 1.32.1 to 1.56.1

Update playwright dependency to latest version and refactor test execution options to use a shared configuration with increased timeout for stability.

* debug(rrvideo): add comprehensive logging to video transformation process

Add detailed console.log statements throughout the transformToVideo function to track execution flow and debug potential issues. Logging covers browser launch, context creation, page navigation, replay progress, and video file operations.

* ci(rrvideo): install playwright browsers and improve test output visibility

- Add Playwright Chromium installation step to CI workflow
- Change test execution stdio from 'pipe' to 'inherit' for better debugging

* fix(rrvideo): prevent autoplay and manually start playback after event listeners

Set autoPlay to false in replayer configuration and manually call play() after all event listeners are attached. This ensures event handlers are properly registered before playback begins, preventing potential race conditions.

Also refactor test execution options to separate stdio configuration from timeout settings for better control over test output visibility.

* fix(rrvideo): add timeout and error handling to replay process

Add comprehensive error handling to prevent hanging during video transformation:
- Add 2-minute timeout for replay finish event
- Add console and error listeners for better debugging
- Improve promise chain with proper error catching
- Clear timeout on successful completion or error

This prevents the process from hanging indefinitely when the replay finish event never fires.

* fix(rrvideo): add error handling and restructure replayer initialization

Wrap replayer initialization in try-catch block to handle potential errors gracefully. Restructure Player instantiation to use rrwebPlayer directly instead of rrwebPlayer.Player, and move width/height into props object for correct API usage. On error, log to console and trigger onReplayFinish callback to prevent hanging state.

* build(umd): rename record and replay globals

Update UMD build globals for recorder and replayer and
refresh documentation accordingly.

BREAKING CHANGE: UMD global names changed to rrwebRecord
and rrwebReplay.

* fix(rrvideo): adjust replay timeout to duration

* docs: update rrweb-player CDN script path

* Update vite.config.default.ts

Looking for a Vue.js version? Go here --> @preflight-hq/rrweb-player-vue


rrweb-player

Since rrweb's replayer only provides a basic UI, you can choose rrweb-replayer which is based on rrweb's public APIs but has a feature-rich replayer UI.

How is this different from rrweb.Replayer?

rrweb-player uses rrweb's Replayer under the hood, but as Replayer doesn't include any UI for controls, rrweb-player adds those.

Installation

rrweb-player can also be included with <script>

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rrweb-player@latest/dist/style.css"
/>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rrweb-player@latest/dist/rrweb-player.umd.cjs"></script>

Or installed by using NPM

npm install --save rrweb-player
import rrwebPlayer from 'rrweb-player';
import 'rrweb-player/dist/style.css';

Usage

new rrwebPlayer({
  target: document.body, // customizable root element
  props: {
    events,
  },
});

Options

key default description
events [] the events for replaying
width 1024 the width of the replayer
height 576 the height of the replayer
maxScale 1 the maximum scale of the replayer (1 = 100%), set to 0 for unlimited
autoPlay true whether to autoplay
speed 1 The default speed to play at
speedOption [1, 2, 4, 8] speed options in UI
showController true whether to show the controller UI
tags {} customize the custom events style with a key-value map
inactiveColor #D4D4D4 Customize the color of inactive periods indicator in the progress bar with a valid CSS color string.
... - all the rrweb Replayer options will be bypassed
