Bug: rrweb doesn't correctly serialize values for `grid-template-areas`

I noticed that on my demo site i had a css class defined as:

.layout {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-areas:
    'img'
    'title'
    'desc';
  grid-template-rows: max-content;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr;
}

but when playing it back inside the replay (example replay) the css was instead:

.Media_layout__lkQuJ { display: grid; grid-template: "img" max-content / 1fr; }

^ this is the serialized css coming from the server.

Notice how the only grid-area defined is img. The other areas are automatically created, but not named, based on the definition max-content / 1fr which creates a 2 column, N row grid that gets filled in with children left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

The result is that the playback shows a different layout than what the user saw, things looking really broken inside the replay.

Action plan: Write a test to repro this, so we can create a ticket upstream. We can follow that with a PR to try to address this.

Hello! I'm having the same problem. I'm using grid-area and the layout is totally broken on Session Replay. The image bellow shows a Replay with 4 inputs above each other. In the original layout all the 4 inputs are rearranged with grid-area.

Hey @vctormb are you able to provide a minimal reproducible example? This would help us investigate and fix the problem. Thanks!

Thank you! We'll look into this and try to fix this in rrweb.

Hello everyone! Any updates on this one?

Hey,

we haven't gotten around to fixing this yet, sadly. It is on our TODO list, but we are pretty swamped with tasks right now - we'll hopefully get to it soon! We'd also happily accept a PR to https://github.com/getsentry/rrweb fixing the issue in the meanwhile.
