Hello, while using canvas.provideRuleContext I noticed that it has no effect if the canvas is undrawn.
Note that there isn't a single warning, it just has no effect.

So I have to declare it autoDraw:false, but this actually seems to be against the best practices. Am I missing something?

Can you clarify what you are trying to accomplish? A small sample would be very helpful.
