Testing CMCD output with CmcdReportRecorder

CmcdReportRecorder captures CMCD-bearing requests emitted by a player under test, regardless of whether the player uses XMLHttpRequest or fetch. Each capture is normalized to HttpRequest, so tests work identically across transports.

import { CmcdReportRecorder, validateCmcdRequest } from '@svta/cml-cmcd'

const recorder = new CmcdReportRecorder()
recorder.attach({ eventTargetUrls: ['https://events.example.com'] })

// ... configure and start the player under test ...

const segments = await recorder.waitForSegments({ count: 3 })
for (const r of segments) {
  const result = validateCmcdRequest(r.request)
  if (!result.valid) {
    console.error(result.issues)
  }
}

recorder.detach()
