Summary

Fixes #491.
This adds robust background task cancellation for native-queue downloads (Subsonic, Qobuz, YouTube) when the user skips tracks rapidly. It ensures we don't leak tokio tasks or needlessly waste network bandwidth/disk I/O on downloads that will be discarded.

Problem

In play_queued_subsonic, play_queued_qobuz, and play_queued_youtube, the tokio::spawn download task runs completely detached. If a user skips quickly, the queue slot is republished but the old task runs to completion. The stale result is only dropped when the download finally finishes and finish_decoded_fetch sees the fetch_id mismatch.

Solution

I implemented a Drop-driven cancellation pattern:

  1. Created DownloadAbortHandle, a thin wrapper around tokio::task::AbortHandle that calls .abort() on Drop.
  2. Added abort_handle: Option to DecodedQueuePlayback.
  3. In the dispatch handlers, after spawning the background task, we take the App lock one more time. If the slot still carries the matching fetch_id, we inject the abort handle. If it's already advanced, we .abort() it immediately.
  4. Because queue_now is overwritten on skips (or cleared on teardown), the old DecodedQueuePlayback is naturally dropped, bringing our DownloadAbortHandle with it and cleanly cancelling the background task instantaneously.

Testing

Added the regression test test_queue_skip_aborts_pending_download to src/infra/queue/dispatch.rs that explicitly verifies a skip clears the slot and correctly aborts the pending download task.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved cancellation of pending downloads for Subsonic, Qobuz, and YouTube playback.
    • Downloads now stop promptly when their queue slot is cleared or replaced.
    • Prevented background download tasks from continuing after playback items are removed or updated.
    • Improved queue cleanup during playback changes, reducing unnecessary downloads and resource usage.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds feature-gated abort-handle storage to decoded queue slots. Subsonic, Qobuz, and YouTube downloads register their handles through one helper. Superseded slots abort stale tasks. A drop test validates task cancellation.

Changes

Queue download cancellation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Abort handle contract
src/infra/queue/mod.rs
Adds DownloadAbortHandle and the optional abort_handle field on DecodedQueuePlayback. The new test verifies cancellation when the wrapper is dropped.
Download task registration
src/infra/queue/dispatch.rs
Consolidates handle registration for Subsonic, Qobuz, and YouTube downloads. The helper aborts a task when its decoded slot no longer matches the fetch_id. Published slots initialize an empty handle. The previous slot-clearing test was removed.

The cancellation behavior works at the wrapper level, but a future break in queue-slot cleanup could go undetected. Add the queue-lifecycle regression test before relying on this coverage.

Explanation

The implementation meets the main requirements in #491. DecodedQueuePlayback has a drop-driven abort handle. The handle is attached with fetch_id for Subsonic, Qobuz, and YouTube. Stale slots can abort pending downloads. The current head removes test_queue_skip_aborts_pending_download, so the required regression test for a skip during a pending download is not present.

Thanks for the PR, the design is the right one. A Drop on the slot field covers every site that replaces or clears queue_now, the second lock after the spawn closes the race with a fast skip, and finish_decoded_fetch updates the slot in place so the handle survives a completed download. Four things block CI, and two are cleanup.

CI failures

  1. Rustfmt. The blank line after each tokio::spawn block carries two spaces, and one new line is over the width limit. cargo fmt --all corrects both.
  2. Gates ratchet. The new #[tokio::test] moves test_attribute_total from 1862 to 1863. Bump the value in tools/gates.count in this PR; the ratchet only lets it rise, so this is expected.
  3. Clippy (empty_line_after_doc_comments). DownloadAbortHandle landed between the doc comment of DecodedQueuePlayback and its #[cfg], so the doc comment now documents the wrong struct. Move the new struct and its Drop impl above that doc comment and give it a one-line doc of its own. Only the macOS leg and Clippy (all-sources) catch this, because the other legs do not enable subsonic, qobuz, or youtube.
  4. The test opens an audio device. LocalPlayer::new() opens the default output, and CI runners have none, so Test Suite (all-sources) and Coverage panic with opening default audio output device. The test also stores the handle by hand, so it only proves that Drop calls abort. A test of DownloadAbortHandle's Drop alone, next to the struct in mod.rs, proves the same thing with no player. Please also drop the test_ prefix; test names in this repo are behavior sentences, for example dropping_the_abort_handle_cancels_the_download_task.

Cleanup

  • The three identical blocks after the spawn can be one async fn attach_abort_handle(app, fetch_id, handle). Inside it, the injected flag and the abort_handle.clone() are not needed: store the handle when the fetch_id matches, else abort it.
  • The app to app_clone rename is churn. Keep app and give only the copy moved into the closure a new name.

Once these land I will run the full build locally and merge.

🟠 Major · Compile track for the combined Qobuz and Subsonic build.

src/infra/queue/dispatch.rs:1234-1237
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Compile track for the combined Qobuz and Subsonic build.

With --no-default-features --features qobuz,subsonic, queue-download is enabled and test_queue_skip_aborts_pending_download is compiled. The track helper is excluded because streaming is disabled while both qobuz and subsonic are enabled. The test therefore fails with an unresolved track function.

Include queue-download in the helper guard:

Proposed fix
 #[cfg(any(
+  feature = "queue-download",
   feature = "streaming",
   not(all(feature = "qobuz", feature = "subsonic"))
 ))]

🟡 Minor · Remove the audio-device dependency from this unit test.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the audio-device dependency from this unit test.

LocalPlayer::new() calls open_sink(), which requires the default output device and returns an error in headless CI. The test unwraps that result before calling publish_pending_decoded, so the test can panic before checking cancellation. The test setup provides no mock or fallback for LocalPlayer. Use a test-only seam that validates slot replacement and DownloadAbortHandle drop behavior without constructing LocalPlayer.

Exercise the decoded queue slot in the cancellation test.

dropping_the_abort_handle_cancels_the_download_task only tests DownloadAbortHandle directly. No existing test exercises attach_abort_handle and the decoded-slot cleanup together. Add a test that creates a pending slot, registers a live task through attach_abort_handle, invokes the production clear or replacement path, and asserts that the task is cancelled.
