💡 What is the current behavior?

ix-popover uses an external trigger. While the popover is open, focus often moves into the panel, so native :hover / :focus on the trigger is gone. For ix-button / ix-icon-button triggers, the host falls back to Default chrome even though the overlay stays open. ARIA (aria-expanded, etc.) was already updated on the trigger; the Active look was not.

GitHub Issue Number: #1402 (EIX-151)

🆕 What is the new behavior?

Ownership split (important):

  • ix-popover adds/removes the host class active on the external trigger while the popover is open / closed (and clears it on trigger unbind). This is only applied when the trigger is ix-button or ix-icon-button.
  • The trigger element is responsible for rendering Active correctly. ix-button / ix-icon-button already style :host(.active) via btn-active-look. Popover does not own button CSS and does not remap tokens on the trigger.
  • Plain HTML (or other) triggers are unchanged: popover does not toggle active on them, and they have no IX Active tokens.

Other notes:

  • Existing trigger ARIA updates are unchanged; active is toggled alongside them.
  • Visual popover baselines recreated; e2e opens via showPopover(), asserts trigger active, moves the pointer off the trigger before the shot.

🏁 Checklist

A pull request can only be merged if all of these conditions are met (where applicable):

  • 🦮 Accessibility (a11y) features were implemented — ARIA for expanded state already existed; no new a11y API
  • 🗺️ Internationalization (i18n) - no hard coded strings — N/A
  • 📲 Responsiveness - components handle viewport changes and content overflow gracefully — N/A
  • 📕 Add or update a Storybook story — N/A (no new variant)
  • 📄 Documentation was reviewed/updated siemens/ix-docsN/A unless trigger/Active usage is documented
  • 🧪 Unit tests were added/updated and pass (pnpm test) — N/A (look covered by visual regression; no class-name CT)
  • 📸 Visual regression tests were added/updated and pass (Guide)
  • 🧐 Static code analysis passes (pnpm lint)
  • 🏗️ Successful compilation (pnpm build, changes pushed)

👨‍💻 Help & support

Manual check (react-test-app): /preview/popover — open the popover, move the pointer off the Open IxButton, confirm Active chrome stays; close and confirm it clears.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Popover triggers now retain their active appearance while the popover is open.
    • Active styling is correctly removed when the popover closes or is no longer expanded.
  • Tests
    • Improved popover interaction checks to verify visibility and active trigger states reliably.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Popover triggers for ix-button and ix-icon-button now receive the active class while open. Visual tests verify the shown popover and active trigger states. A patch changeset records the fix.

Changes

Popover trigger active state

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update popover trigger state
packages/core/src/components/popover/popover.tsx
Popover trigger detection uses a dedicated helper. The active class is added while the popover is expanded and removed when it closes.
Validate active trigger behavior
testing/visual-testing/tests/popover/popover.e2e.ts, .changeset/popover-trigger-open-active.md
Visual tests verify the popover and trigger states. The changeset declares a patch release for @siemens/ix.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0aafd

The PR keeps supported popover button triggers visually active while open and clears the state on close. It is mergeable with owner awareness that the visual regression test still uses fixed delays, which may cause bounded CI flakiness or slower test runs.

- Around line 27-29: Replace the fixed page.waitForTimeout(300) in the popover
visual test with an existing deterministic readiness or settling check, or use
the visual fixture’s animation-disabling mechanism. Preserve the pointer
movement and ensure the snapshot is captured only after the popover has visibly
settled.
- Around line 18-25: Extend the core popover and axe tests to cover ix-button
and ix-icon-button triggers, asserting active is added on open and removed after
close, trigger clearing, and trigger changes. In the visual popover test, retain
the screenshot while replacing both fixed page.waitForTimeout(300) calls with
deterministic settled-state assertions. Update the visual-regression
configuration to include the required brand theme projects alongside the
existing classic light and dark projects.
