The first dynamic `await import("./render.js")` cold-load takes >5 s on
Windows runners — long enough to blow vitest's default 5 s timeout in
whichever test ran it first. Subsequent imports are <10 ms because the
module is now cached, so only test #1 ever times out.
The downstream failure is more subtle: when test #1 times out, vitest
moves on, but its leaked async function eventually hits the synchronous
`producer.createRenderJob(...)` line and pushes a stale config to
`producerState.createdJobs`. That push lands AFTER test #2's `beforeEach`
clears the array, so test #2's `createdJobs[0]` is the leaked test #1
entry instead of its own. That's why test #2 saw `browserGpuMode: 'software'`
when it expected `'auto'`.
Hoist the import into `beforeAll` (matching the pattern the existing
`parseVariablesArg` and `validateVariablesAgainstProject` describe blocks
in this file already use). Cold-load happens once outside any test's
timeout window, every test stays fast, no leaked promise can corrupt
state.
Failing run: https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/actions/runs/25470257972/job/74732502915
Started failing on main with the merge of #642 (auto-detect-browser-gpu),
which added the "forwards browserGpuMode='auto'" test as test #2.
hyperframes
CLI for creating, previewing, and rendering HTML video compositions.
Install
npm install -g hyperframes
Or use directly with npx:
npx hyperframes <command>
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, FFmpeg
Commands
init
Scaffold a new Hyperframes project from a template:
npx hyperframes init my-video
cd my-video
preview
Start the live preview studio in your browser:
npx hyperframes preview
# Studio running at http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
render
Render a composition to MP4:
npx hyperframes render ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4
lint
Validate your Hyperframes HTML:
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --json # JSON output for CI/tooling
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --verbose # Include info-level findings
By default only errors and warnings are shown. Use --verbose to also display informational findings (e.g., external script dependency notices). Use --json for machine-readable output with errorCount, warningCount, infoCount, and a findings array.
compositions
List compositions found in the current project:
npx hyperframes compositions
benchmark
Run rendering benchmarks:
npx hyperframes benchmark ./my-composition.html
