updatePlaybackRate

[amk221]

I use animation.playbackRate = -1 to reverse an animation mid-way through.

This has recently stopped working in Chrome, but it does work if I change it to animation.updatePlaybackRate(-1)

However, that isn't polyfilled, so I have to write code like:

if (animation.updatePlaybackRate) {
  animation.updatePlaybackRate(playbackRate);
} else {
  animation.playbackRate = playbackRate;
}

Do you have a test case where this doesn't work in Chrome? I'm pretty sure it's a bug they'd like to know about it.

That said, updatePlaybackRate is preferred over setting the playbackRate since it will make sure the change happens smoothly for animations running on a separate thread/process.

No problem, I've filed https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1052217 for this.
