Previously, console messages were sent using an index-based system where
DevTools would be notified of new message indices and then request them
in batches. This created synchronization issues during page navigation
when the WebContent process resets while DevTools still has stale index
state.
This changes to a push-based model where console messages are sent
immediately as resources when they are logged, matching how Firefox
DevTools handles console messages. Each message is pushed through IPC
and forwarded to DevTools as a "console-message" or "error-message"
resource.
This eliminates the need for index tracking in FrameActor and simplifies
the entire console message pipeline from WebContent through to DevTools.
When a page navigates, send document-event resources with
"will-navigate" and tabNavigated messages so Firefox DevTools
can follow along and clear the Network panel appropriately.
Hook ResourceLoader to emit network request lifecycle events through
IPC to the UI process, where FrameActor creates NetworkEventActor
instances that serialize requests using Firefox's Remote Debug Protocol.
The Network panel now shows requests with method, URL, status, MIME
type, size, and timing information. Several features remain stubbed
(POST data, response content, cause detection) marked with FIXMEs.
When multiple views share a WebContent process (e.g. parent and child
views created via window.open()), we need to notify ALL of them when
the process crashes, not just one.
Previously, each view would overwrite the single crash callback on
WebContentClient, so only the last view to initialize would be notified.
This adds WebContentClient::notify_all_views_of_crash() which iterates
over all registered views and notifies each one. Child views also now
propagate crashes to their parent, and can be disconnected between
tests to prevent stale crashes from affecting subsequent tests.
This enables the disk cache and flips the related command line flag to
allow disabling it. We've reached a point where it works well, so this
will let us get more mileage on it.
This mode allows us to test the HTTP disk cache with two mechanisms:
1. If RequestServer is launched with --http-disk-cache-mode=testing, it
will cache requests with a X-Ladybird-Enable-Disk-Cache header.
2. In test mode, RS will include a X-Ladybird-Disk-Cache-Status response
header indicating how the response was handled by the cache. There is
no standard way for a web request to know what happened with respect
to the disk cache, so this fills that hole for testing.
This mode is not exposed to users.
This adds a section to allow users to clear the HTTP disk cache and
cookies / local storage / session storage. There are a few options to
limit this action to a specific time range (e.g. "last hour"). The
user is informed how much disk space is being used currently, and how
much will be removed given the selected time range.
The idea is that in the future, we can add more settings here to auto-
delete data on exit, disable caching altogether, etc.
This is used by tests to set the default time zone to UTC.
This is because certain tests create JavaScript Date objects, which are
in the current timezone.
This is enough for Firefox to display the Accessibility tab, containing
our accessibility tree which can be inspected. Most information is
blank for now.
There's quite a bit of duplication between AccessibilityWalkerActor and
WalkerActor - it might be worth trying to make a base class once the
details are figured out. Frustratingly, the two don't work quite the
same: for a lot of messages that would be sent to WalkerActor, the
accessibility equivalent is sent to the AccessibilityNodeActor instead.

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.
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
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.
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 replaces the --devtools-port flag with a --devtools flag, which
optionally accepts a port. If the --devtools flag is set, we will now
automatically launch the DevTools server.
This change follows the pattern of our cookies persistence
implementation: the "browser" process is responsible for interacting
with the sqlite database, and WebContent communicates all storage
operations via IPC.
The new database table uses (storage_endpoint, storage_key, bottle_key)
as the primary key. This design follows concepts from the
https://storage.spec.whatwg.org/ and is intended to support reuse of the
persistence layer for other APIs (e.g., CacheStorage, IndexedDB). For
now, `storage_endpoint` is always "localStorage", `storage_key` is the
website's origin, and `bottle_key` is the name of the localStorage key.
In particular, we need to defer creating the process manager until after
we have decided whether or not to create a UI-specific event loop. If we
create the process manager sooner, its event loop signal registration
does not work, and we don't handle child processes exiting.
This is causing errors on the WPT runner, which does not have a display
output. To do this requires shuffling around the Main::Arguments struct,
as we now need access to it from overridden WebView::Application methods
after construction.
We currently create a separate headless-browser application to serve two
purposes:
1. Allow headless browsing to take a screenshot of a page or print its
layout tree / internal text.
2. Run the LibWeb test framework.
This patch migrates (1) to the main Ladybird executable. The --headless
flag enables this mode. This matches the behavior of other browsers, and
means we have one less executable to ship at distribution time.
We want to avoid creating too many AppKit / Qt facilities in headless
mode. So this involves some shuffling of application init to ensure we
don't create them until after we've parsed the command line arguments.
Namely, we avoid creating the NSApp in AppKit and QCoreApplication in
Qt. Doing so also requires that we don't create the application event
loop until we've parsed the command line as well, because the loop we
create depends on whether we're creating those UI facilities.
We had a bit of an awkward setup where we want the Application to be a
SettingsObserver, but neither the Settings object nor the Application
itself was fully initialized by the time the observer was created. So
we invented a deferred observer initializer specifically for the
Application.
Instead, let's just create a dedicated observer subclass that is owned
by the Application. We can then create it once we have the singleton
Application appropriately set up.
