Two ways a song's favorite state gets dropped, both from the app tracking a field the server has moved on from.

A play registration unfavorites the song

Open the Now Playing sheet on a favorited song and the star is filled. Let playback pass a quarter of the way through, close the sheet and reopen it — the star is empty. The server still has the song favorited; only the app's copy is wrong.

Koel moved favorites out of interactions into their own table (2025_07_18_105237_favorites.php, which drops interactions.liked), so InteractionResource returns only type, id, song_id and play_count. Interaction.fromJson still read json['liked'], which now resolves to false, and _registerPlayCount wrote that over the song's real favorite state — then handed it to persistMetadataIfNeeded, so downloaded songs kept the wrong value across restarts.

The registration fires at 25% of the track, which is why it looks like reopening the sheet causes it. Whether you actually see it is a race: Song.merge() copies liked from any payload, so a favorites/search/overview fetch, or the five-minute download sync, will quietly repair the damage before you look. That's why it hits some songs and not others.

Song reads a legacy field name

Album, Artist, Podcast and RadioStation all read favorite. Song alone still read liked, which Koel sends only as a backwards-compatibility alias next to the real one. Since an absent key is indistinguishable from an explicit false here, dropping that alias server-side would have parsed the entire library as unfavorited without a single error.

Song now prefers favorite and falls back to liked, keeping the 0/1 tolerance for older servers.

Testing

interaction_provider_test.dart drives the position stream past the threshold against a mocked client returning the payload the server actually sends, and asserts the song stays favorited. song_test.dart covers the key preference. Reverting either fix fails its test.

flutter test: 461 passed. flutter analyze: unchanged from master.

Note: test/ui/screens/playable_action_sheet_test.dart flakes occasionally under parallel execution. It's unrelated to these changes — it fails the same way on a clean tree and passes in isolation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Preserved a song’s favorite status when registering playback activity.
    • Playback registration now updates only the play count, preventing unintended favorite-state changes.
    • Improved favorite-state parsing by prioritizing the current field while retaining compatibility with legacy data.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying play-count updates and favorite-state preservation.
    • Expanded provider test coverage with audio playback and dependency simulations.
    • Added tests confirming correct favorite-state parsing and legacy fallback behavior.

Favorites moved out of interactions server-side, so the play-registration
response no longer carries a liked flag. Parsing the absent field yielded
false, which was then written over the song's real favorite state — and
persisted to download metadata for downloaded songs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Interaction model no longer stores liked. Play-count registration updates only the server-provided play count. Song.fromJson prioritizes favorite and supports legacy liked data. Tests and generated mocks cover these changes.

Changes

Interaction state handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Interaction contract and play-count registration
lib/models/interaction.dart, lib/providers/interaction_provider.dart
Interaction now contains only songId and playCount. Play-count registration no longer changes the playable’s liked state.
Song favorite parsing
lib/models/song.dart
Song.fromJson reads favorite first and falls back to liked.
Interaction and favorite-state test coverage
test/providers/interaction_provider_test.dart, test/providers/interaction_provider_test.mocks.dart, test/models/song_test.dart
Added provider tests, playback simulation, API interception, generated mocks, and parsing tests for favorite-field precedence.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1f987

The change preserves songs’ favorite state during play registration and supports both current and older server responses; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Every other model already reads `favorite`; Song alone still read `liked`,
which Koel keeps only as a backwards-compatibility alias. Dropping that alias
would have parsed the whole library as unfavorited, silently — an absent key
is indistinguishable from an explicit false here.
