* test(browser): one test server per Playwright worker The page workflows started one global webServer and ran with one worker. Each worker now owns its own tests/browser/server.py on an OS-chosen port, with its own temp root and database, through a shared `test` in tests/browser/fixtures.mjs. baseURL, and so page, request and browser.newContext, point at that worker's server. A server that dies fails the running test with its stderr tail and the next test gets a fresh one. The worker count comes from PM_TEST_WORKERS, else 1 under CI, else a quarter of the CPUs up to 8. Chromium workflows in the pinned image: 510 tests in 606 s with one worker on main, 511 (one new isolation spec) in 119 s with eight. * test(browser): test servers bind an OS-chosen port themselves tests/browser/server.py accepts --port 0: it binds 127.0.0.1:0 before building the app, holds that socket for its whole life and prints PM_TEST_SERVER_PORT=<n> to stdout. startBrowserServer defaults to port 0 and reads the announced port, so no port is reserved and released before the server binds and two launchers can no longer race for one. The "address already in use" retry and free-port.mjs are gone; --port N still works and is checked against the announcement. * ci(coverage): shard and merge modes for the frontend coverage run frontend-coverage.mjs now plans its steps from the command line. No arguments still runs everything, then reports and checks. --shard I/N runs one slice of the chromium+touch workflows into coverage/js/raw without wiping it or reporting; shard 1 also runs the node units and the viewer suite. --merge-only reports and checks over raw coverage the shards wrote, with --update-baseline as before, and refuses an empty or missing raw dir. npm scripts: test:coverage:shard and coverage:merge. * ci(viewerjs): run browser suites with workers and shards Frontend coverage runs as three shards (PM_TEST_WORKERS=3 each) that upload their raw V8 files as coverage-raw-N; a merge job downloads them, fails unless all three arrived with raw files and no clashing names, then runs coverage:merge. Firefox and WebKit page workflows run as two shards each with three workers. The required viewerjs context keeps its name and now needs the shards, the merge and the browser shards, failing unless every one succeeded. * ci(viewerjs): cache npm downloads and size timeouts from the first sharded run The first sharded run lost a webkit shard to its 12-minute limit after all 267 tests passed, and npm ci stalled for 5 minutes in six of eight jobs. Each npm ci now restores npm's download cache keyed on the vendor lockfile, and browser job timeouts are the measured times plus at least 50%, never under 20 minutes. The workflow comment records the measurements. * test(browser): wait for rendering frames, not timers or luck, under load Two Library workflows failed in CI's webkit shard 2/2 (run 39714840809) under parallel load: - "library infinite loading ..." counted cards right after the last page hid "Load more". That render queues the window update for the next frame, so a slow frame left the 120 cards of the all-rows layout in place (received 120, expected < 80). It now waits for the next frame, which runs after every callback the page queued. - "row measurement preserves anchor ..." settled with a 60 ms timer. A scroll event is delivered in a rendering frame, so on a starved renderer the timer ended before the scroll's frame and no card was in view (null anchor). settleLibrary now waits for two consecutive native frames with no Library frame queued, checked inside the frame callback. Before/after: a scratch copy that delays every frame by 120 ms (as a starved runner) failed the old helpers 19 of 40 runs, at the CI lines, and passed the new ones 40 of 40 on chromium and webkit. Throttled to 1 CPU with 4 workers, the original spec failed 1 of 42 for each test. The Tags viewer workflow closed the viewer as soon as its image was visible, before ViewerJS rendered the title, so CI's coverage never ran the page's title callback (tags-page.js functions 26/46 = 56.52%, one function above the floor of 56; locally 27/46). The test now asserts the title names the shown file, which always runs the callback. * test(browser): stable under parallel workers Document how to run the browser suites in parallel and sharded, with the measured times, and what keeps specs stable beside each other: wait for a rendering frame, a response or a visible state, never for time. Withb665aa6the full workflows suite passed on chromium, touch, firefox and webkit with 8 workers, each test 3 times (6132 passed, 0 failed, 24 minutes), and once at CI size (docker --cpus=4, 3 workers: 2044 passed, 25.5 minutes). The npm download cache removed the npm ci stall: 0 to 2 s in every job of run 39722172529, against about 300 s in most jobs before. The workflow's timing comment now records that run; the whole workflow took 8m54s against about 33 minutes before sharding. Shard imbalance (shard 1 carries the concept-comparison specs) is documented, not tuned. * test(browser): server stderr on failures, no orphan servers, waits on state Final review fixes for the per-worker test servers (#274): - A failed test gets the stderr its server wrote during that test attached as `server-stderr`, so an aiohttp traceback behind a 500 reaches the CI report. The launcher keeps the newest 256 KB with a stream position per test (stderrMark/stderrSince), and the fixture attaches it only when the test did not end as expected. - The port announcement counts only as a complete line; a chunk ending mid-number was read as a shorter port. - server.py --exit-on-stdin-eof shuts down gracefully (database closed, temp root removed) when stdin closes. The launcher holds that pipe, so a SIGKILLed worker leaves no server behind, on every OS. - settled() gives up after 600 frames with the observation stats instead of hanging to the test timeout. - The Classic text-sync test waits for the page's 50 ms timer to install serializeValue instead of sleeping 60 ms. With that timer run 100 ms late (a scratch copy), the old wait failed 20/20 and the poll passed 20/20; the spec passed 240/240 at 8 workers x10 and 240/240 at 1 CPU with 4 workers. - The workflow test checks each npm cache key names its job's pinned image tag. Every new unit test failed before its change (missing export, the old regex timing out on the split announcement, an unknown server flag, a hung settle, a mismatched cache key). * docs(testing): server lifetime, stderr attachments and the final measured CI times TESTING.md describes the stdin-EOF shutdown and the server-stderr attachment, states that the npm cache key names the job's image tag (now tested), quotes run 39725176320 atcbc8a61(8m38s) and explains the 20-minute browser job limit. The workflow timing comment quotes the same run. * fix(browser): server shutdown and its tests on Windows, Python < 3.13 and CI Three CI failures oned809f7: - Windows: server.py exited 1 on stdin EOF because create_app works with the temp root as its cwd, and Windows cannot remove a process's cwd. main() now restores the original cwd before the root is removed. - Python 3.10 to 3.12: the lifetime test's cleanup called communicate() after closing stdin, which flushes the closed pipe (ValueError); 3.13 tolerates it. It now waits and closes the pipes itself, and the exit assertion shows the server's stderr. Under 3.12: errors=2 before, OK after. - Tooling (CI container): the SIGKILLed-worker tests treated an exited server as alive, because the container's PID 1 does not reap orphans and kill(pid, 0) succeeds on a zombie. Reproduced locally with docker without --init (2 failed); a zombie now counts as exited (2 passed).
Viewer.js maintenance
ComfyUI serves the committed files in web/lib/viewerjs/. Node and npm are only
needed by maintainers and CI. Keep upstream files pristine; application behavior
belongs in web/js/, and theme overrides belong in comfyui-theme.css.
Install and verify
Use Node 24 or newer. From the repository root:
npm ci --prefix tools/vendor --ignore-scripts
npm run --prefix tools/vendor check
npm run --prefix tools/vendor test
node --test tests/js/*.test.js
npx --prefix tools/vendor playwright install chromium
npm run --prefix tools/vendor test:browser
On Linux, use playwright install --with-deps chromium when browser system
libraries are missing. The browser tests use synthetic images and mock the
ComfyUI API boundary; they run production viewer methods and the committed
Viewer.js JS/CSS, without a running ComfyUI instance.
check is read-only and fails if any JS, CSS, license, or provenance file differs
from the installed package. The manifest, lockfile, installed package, and asset
version banners must agree. The lockfile records npm's archive integrity;
provenance.json records the upstream source, package integrity, and SHA-256 of
each copied file. A normal npm ci --ignore-scripts verifies archive integrity.
Full-page workflows, frontend coverage gates, and required merge checks are
documented in TESTING.md. The viewerjs CI check runs both
the fixture tests above and the real-page workflows on every PR.
Update
npm run --prefix tools/vendor update
# Or select a specific stable version:
npm run --prefix tools/vendor update -- --version 1.15.2
The command installs an exact version with lifecycle scripts disabled and copies
dist/viewer.min.js, dist/viewer.min.css, and LICENSE. It writes deterministic
provenance with no timestamps. Repeat the checks above and commit the manifest,
lockfile, and all vendor files together. To regenerate files from the current
pin without changing versions, run npm run --prefix tools/vendor sync.
Automated update PRs
Update vendored Viewer.js checks npm's stable release daily at 07:30 UTC and
supports Actions → Update vendored Viewer.js → Run workflow, with an optional
version. It tests the generated update before opening deps/viewerjs-X.Y.Z.
Existing open or closed PRs for that release are left alone. A failed test does
not publish a branch or PR. Changes require review; the workflow never merges
or approves PRs.
The organization and repository must enable Actions → General → Workflow
permissions → Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests.
Keep default workflow permissions read-only. Only the update job requests
contents: write, pull-requests: write, and actions: write.
The workflow uses GITHUB_TOKEN; no personal token is needed. Because bot-token
pushes do not normally trigger other workflows, it explicitly dispatches the
read-only Viewer.js vendor and compatibility workflow on the update branch.
Both workflow files must be merged into the default branch before scheduling or
manual dispatch becomes available.
Compatibility checklist
Check gallery grid/list views, navigation across 100-image windows, metadata, slideshow/fullscreen, keyboard navigation, Escape and focus cleanup. Check the admin gallery/filmstrip and tag viewer. On touch devices, test long swipes, short drags, and pinch/rotate gestures. Confirm the ComfyUI theme remains usable.
The gallery keeps its bounded viewer and custom slideshow. Upstream navbar windowing is not a replacement for bounding the supplied image list: native slideshow playback can still preload every supplied original. Review new preloading defaults, gesture behavior, CSS changes, and any adapter use of Viewer.js internal methods before adopting another release.
Shared ComfyAssets test tooling
The exact toolkit commit archive in package.json / package-lock.json supplies
host orchestration and coverage helpers. comfyui-host.mjs is PromptManager's
configuration adapter; keep reusable lifecycle changes in the toolkit source.
The existing npm scripts remain the public maintainer entry points. See
TESTING.md for the managed real-host matrix and update policy.
Shared ComfyAssets browser controls
Prompt Manager (Classic) consumes the same pinned toolkit's browser controls.
The node identifier remains PromptManager; existing workflows, sockets, and
immediate result selection are preserved. PromptManager Text is unchanged.
Committed assets in web/js/shared/toolkit/ work without npm or KikoTools installed.
Maintain common controls in ComfyAssets Toolkit,
then update the exact archive pin and lockfile here. Regenerate using
npm run --prefix tools/vendor sync:toolkit; npm run --prefix tools/vendor check
verifies both Viewer.js and the toolkit without rewriting files. The toolkit
distribution includes its license, source history, archive integrity and per-file
hashes. Do not edit its copied files directly. Classic's controller and layout
remain in web/js/classic-node.js and web/js/classic-node.css.
Run the frontend coverage/browser suites and managed Classic/Nodes 2.0 matrix after updates. Shared modules participate in the frontend coverage gate. Pixaroma's reusable framework inspired this architecture; no Pixaroma code, styles or assets are included.
