CSS animate custom properties/variables

问题

I have been trying to get this to work for a while.

The point is that the inner div will have some shape and there will probably more than one (That's why I used the nth-child selector). This inner div is supposed to be shown and then be hidden again both for some set amount of time. the problem is, that I would like to animate all the (later) multiple inner divs in one animation. For this I thought I could use CSS variables, but this does not seem to work.

What I am trying to archieve in this example is the inner div basically just blinking by using the variable. But my result in Firefox is just a black box.

Am I missing anything? I already looked up if one could even use CSS variables in @keyframes and sure enough you can. The only problem with them in animations seems to be that they are not interpolated in between but that they suddenly switch which is not a problem in this case.

@keyframes test{
    from{
        --one: 0;
    }
    to{
        --one: 1;
    }
}

#test{
    width: 100px;
    height: 200px;
    background-color: black;
    animation: test 1s infinite;
}
#test :nth-child(1){
    width: 20px;
    height: 20px;
    margin: auto;
    background-color: white;
    opacity: var(--one,0);
}

<div id="test">
    <div></div>
</div>

回答1:

As stated in the specification:

Notably, they can even be transitioned or animated, but since the UA has no way to interpret their contents, they always use the "flips at 50%" behavior that is used for any other pair of values that can’t be intelligently interpolated. However, any custom property used in a @keyframes rule becomes animation-tainted, which affects how it is treated when referred to via the var() function in an animation property.

So even if you use opacity with var() in the keyframes it won't animate:

@keyframes test {
  from {
    --one:0;
    opacity: var(--one);
  }
  to {
    opacity: var(--one);
    --one: 1;
  }
}

#test {
  width: 100px;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: black;
}

#test :nth-child(1) {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  margin: auto;
  background-color: white;
  animation: test 1s  infinite;
  
}

<div id="test">
  <div></div>
</div>

By the way you can make it working if you use it as a transition because in this case you will apply a transtion to the opacity and not the custom property:

#test {
  width: 100px;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: black;
}

#test:hover {
  --one:1;
}

#test :nth-child(1) {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  margin: auto;
  background-color: white;
  opacity: var(--one,0);
  transition:1s all;
}

<div id="test">
  <div></div>
</div>
