Skip WAAPI for non-animatable keyframe values#3631
Conversation
…ings When canAnimate() returns false (e.g. for bare filter values like "blur" without parentheses), the resolved keyframes may not be valid CSS. Previously these invalid values were still passed to element.animate() via WAAPI, triggering Chrome's "Invalid keyframe value" console warning. Now we skip WAAPI in this case and fall through to JSAnimation which handles the instant animation without browser warnings. Fixes #3102 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Vacuous assertion doesn't verify the test title's claim
The second it block is titled "uses WAAPI for valid filter blur animations" but the only assertion made is expect(el).to.exist, which is always true for any element matched by a Cypress selector. The test provides zero coverage of the WAAPI claim, and its comment even acknowledges this ("We can check that a WAAPI animation was created... so we just verify no error occurred"). This is misleading to anyone reading the test suite, since it appears to verify WAAPI usage but does nothing of the sort.
Consider either removing this test (the first it already covers "animations complete without error") or replacing the assertion with something meaningful — e.g. querying el.getAnimations() during the animation phase to verify a WAAPI Animation object is present.

Summary
canAnimate()determines keyframe values aren't animatable (e.g. bare filter function names like"blur"without parentheses), the animation is made instant but was still routed through WAAPIelement.animate()then received the invalid CSS values and produced Chrome's "Invalid keyframe value for property filter: blur" console warningcanAnimate()returns false, falling through toJSAnimationwhich handles instant animations without triggering browser warningsBug
When animating
filterwith values likeblur(10px), Chrome could produce "Invalid keyframe value for property filter: blur" warnings — particularly during HMR re-renders or when non-animatable filter values reached the WAAPI path.Cause
AsyncMotionValueAnimation.onKeyframesResolved()correctly detected non-animatable values viacanAnimate()and made the animation instant, butsupportsBrowserAnimation()still returnedtruefor thefilterproperty (since it's in the accelerated values set). This caused the potentially invalid keyframe values to be passed toelement.animate().Fix
Added a
canAnimateValueflag that prevents WAAPI from being used whencanAnimate()returns false. Non-animatable instant animations now always useJSAnimation, which doesn't produce browser warnings for invalid CSS values.Fixes #3102
