Let's have a way to run all the JavaScript the web wants to give us.
This was previously available as a Debug menu option, and this makes
it available from process startup.
This is a bit of a blunt hammer, but this hooks an action to clear the
HTTP disk cache into the existing Clear Cache action. Upon invocation,
it stops all existing cache entries from making further progress, and
then deletes the entire cache index and all cache files.
In the future, we will of course want more fine-grained control over
cache deletion, e.g. via an about:history page.
It currently lives in LibWebView as it was only used for cookies and
local storage, both of which are managed in the UI process. Let's move
it to its own library now to allow other processes to use it, without
having to depend on LibWebView (and therefore LibWeb).
We only supported headless clipboard management in test-web. So when WPT
tests the clipboard APIs, we would blindly try to access the Qt app,
which does not exist.
Note that the AppKit UI has no such restriction, as the NSPasteboard is
accessible even without a GUI.
To detect system time zone changes on Windows, the event we need to look
for is WM_TIMECHANGE. The problem is how the callback with said message
actually gets invoked is very particular. (1) We must have an active
message pump (event loop) for the message to ever be processed. (2) We
must be a GUI application as WM_TIMECHANGE messages are seemingly sent
to top level windows only. It doesn't say that in the docs for the
event, but attempts of creating a LibTest-based application with a
message pump and a message only window and never receiving the event
point to that probably being true.
This workaround is built off the fact that Qt's message pump defined
internally in QEventDispatcherWin32::processEvents does in fact receive
WM_TIMECHANGE events, even though it is not exposed as a QEvent::Type.
Given the requirements stated above it makes sense that it works here as
the message pump is executing in a QGuiApplication context. So we use a
native event filter to hook into the unexposed WM_TIMECHANGE event and
forward it along to the on_time_zone_changed() callback.
Note that if a Windows GUI framework is done in the future, we'll have
to re-add support to ensure the TimeZoneWatcher still gets invoked.
Clipboard handling largely has nothing to do with the individual web
views. Rather, we interact with the system clipboard at the application
level. So let's move these implementations to the Application.
This lets us avoid each UI needing to handle link clicks directly, and
lets actions stored in LibWebView avoid awkwardly going through the link
click callbacks to open URLs.
On macOS Tahoe, it is now recommended to show menu item icons. We use
system symbols for this now. Symbols do not have constant variable names
and must be found via the SF Symbols app.
The symbols chosen here were to match Safari as close as possible.
Previously if the directory returned by `downloads_directory()` didn't
exist (or wasn't a directory) when taking a screnshot in headless mode
we try to ask the user for the download directory and fail with the
unhelpful error: QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QWidget
Global Privacy Control aims to be a replacement for Do Not Track. DNT
ended up not being a great solution, as it wasn't enforced by law. This
actually resulted in the DNT header serving as an extra fingerprinting
data point.
GPC is becoming enforced by law in USA states such as California and
Colorado. CA is further working on a bill which requires that browsers
implement such an opt-out preference signal (OOPS):

This patch replaces DNT with GPC and hooks up the associated settings.
By migrating the debug menu to LibWebView, the AppKit and Qt UIs are now
in sync - the AppKit UI was previously missing some actions.
Further, this inadvertently fixes bugs around applying debug settings to
new web views, especially across site-isolated processes. We were
previously not applying settings appropriately; this now "just works" in
the LibWebView infra.
This migrates all duplicated context menus from the UIs to LibWebView.
The context menu actions are now largely handled directly in LibWebView,
with some UI-specific callbacks added to display e.g. confirmation
dialogs.
Actions that only ever apply to a specific web view are stored on the
ViewImplementation itself. Actions that need to be dynamically applied
to the active web view are stored on the Application.
We currently duplicate a lot of code to handle application/context menus
and actions. The goal here is to hold the data for the menus and actions
in LibWebView. Each UI will then be able to generate menus from the data
on-the-fly.
The structures added here are meant to support generic and checkable
actions, action groups, submenus, etc.
The result is currently only used as a StringView, but a future commit
will place the result in Web::Clipboard::SystemClipboardRepresentation,
which requires a ByteString (there's no UTF-8 clipboard requirement).
The HTTP cache is now stable enough that we can ask more people to help
us testing it. So let's turn it on by default! It can be turned off with
--disable-http-cache if needed.
This first pass only applies to the following two cases:
- Public functions returning a view type into an object they own
- Public ctors storing a view type
This catches a grand total of one (1) issue, which is fixed in
the previous commit.
WPT reference tests can add metadata to tests to instruct the test
runner how to interpret the results. Because of this, it is not enough
to have an action that starts loading the (mis)match reference: we need
the test runner to receive the metadata so it can act accordingly.
This sets our test runner up for potentially supporting multiple
(mis)match references, and fuzzy rendering matches - the latter will be
implemented in the following commit.
(...) fallbacks"
This reverts commit 9e7b40747f. This
caused most bold headings to display as regular headings, since Arial
Unicode MS does not support other styles (as opposed to Arial).
We need a better font selection algorithm to properly support selecting
fonts for specific glyphs. Issue #2332 exists to keep track of
supporting less frequently used glyphs.
