Investigate AMP Validation Errors for Improved/Frosted Glass Promo Features
HarveyPeachey opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
When enabling AMP to allow rendering of the new Improved Promo/Frosted Glass component in CpsFeaturesAnalysis, assets are failing our AMP validation tests. We need to investigate if this is easily rectifiable.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
- Remove the AMP checks within the switch statement for in CpsFeaturesAnalysis AMP here and here
- Run the AMP validation script
yarn amp:validate
, or visit this asset or asset whilst having the AMP Validator Extensions installed - See the below error:

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.
Had a bit of a look at this, currently this is how AMP will render the 'improved promos'. It renders a black background where the image for the frosted glass area should be, this is due to the hook thats used to generate the real background colour not being able to run on AMP:
We can conditionally render the background image for the frosted glass area for canonical only, which trims down the style sheet size a good bit, but not always enough to pass AMP Validation:
We also pass in a prop to the <ImageWithPlaceholder />
component called darkMode
. This is always set to true
, which shows a dark version of the BBC blocks placeholder image before the actual image loads in. Strangely, setting this to false
on AMP reduces the stylesheet size enough to pass AMP Validation (if used with the above conditional rendering of the frosted glass background).
These "fixes" seem to be teetering on the edge of the maximum allowed stylesheet size though, so I'm not confident that it will fix the issue forever. There aren't many other styles that can be removed from what I can see, in reality more will need to be added to support the component rendering on the 'tablet' breakpoint which is currently pending designs.
