This adds the --expose-experimental-interfaces command line flag to
enable experimental IDL interfaces. Any IDL interface with Experimental
in its exposed attributes will be disabled by default.
The problem is that by stubbing out or partially implementing interfaces
in LibWeb, we actually make some sites behave worse. For example, the
OffscreenCanvas interface being exposed makes sites believe we fully
support it, even though we don't. If the interface was not exposed,
these sites may fall back to ordinary canvas objects. Similarly, to
use YouTube, we currently have to patch out MSE interfaces.
This flag will allow developers to iteratively work on features,
without breaking such sites. We enable experimental interfaces during
tests.
This adds a settings box to about:settings to allow users to limit the
disk cache size. This will override the default 5 GiB limit. We do not
automatically delete cache data if the new limit is suddenly less than
the used disk space; this will happen on the next request. This allows
multiple changes to the settings in a row without thrashing the cache.
In the future, we can add more toggles, such as disabling the disk
cache altogether.
This is expected by WPT. For this to work, we must be able to determine
the network partition key for shared worker environments. So we now set
a top-level origin for these environments, with a FIXME to implement it
in accordance with the Client-Side Storage Partitioning spec.
We currently disable the disk cache because the WPT runner will run more
than one RequestServer process at a time. The SQLite database does not
handle this concurrent read/write access well.
We will now enable the disk cache with a per-process database. This is
needed to ensure that WPT Fetch cache tests are sufficiently handled by
RequestServer.
This adds support for intercepting network requests and serving local
file content instead. When a URL matches an entry in the substitution
map, the local file is served while preserving the original URL's
origin for cross-origin checks.
Usage:
Ladybird --resource-map=/path/to/map.json
The JSON file format is:
{
"substitutions": [
{
"url": "https://example.com/script.js",
"file": "/path/to/local/script.js",
"content_type": "application/javascript",
"status_code": 200
}
]
}
Fields:
- url (required): Exact URL to intercept (query string and fragment
are stripped before matching)
- file (required): Absolute path to local file to serve
- content_type (optional): Override Content-Type header (defaults to
guessing from filename)
- status_code (optional): HTTP status code (defaults to 200)
This is incredibly useful for debugging production websites: you can
intercept any script, stylesheet, or other resource and replace it with
a local copy containing your own debug instrumentation, console.log
statements, or experimental fixes - all without modifying the actual
site or setting up a local dev server.
- Add --results-dir CLI flag to specify output directory
- Default to {tempdir}/test-web-results if not specified
- Capture stdout/stderr from all helper processes (WebContent,
RequestServer, ImageDecoder) to prevent output spam
- Save captured output to per-test files in results directory
- Save test diffs (expected vs actual) to results directory
- Generate HTML index of failed tests with links to diffs
- Display live-updating concurrent test status with progress bar
- Defer warning messages until after test run completes
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 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.
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.
Since cross-site navigation is a pretty frequent task, creating a spare
process is commonplace in other browsers to reduce the overhead of
directing the target site to a new process.
We store this process on the WebView application. If it is unavailable,
we queue a task to create it later.
Our existing WebContentConsoleClient is very specific to our home-grown
Inspector. It renders console output to an HTML string. For DevTools, we
will not want this behavior; we will want to send representations of raw
JS values.
This patch makes WebContentConsoleClient a base class to handle console
input from the user, either from the Inspector or from DevTools. It then
moves the HTML rendering needed for the Inspector to a new class,
InspectorConsoleClient. And we add a DevToolsConsoleClient (currently
just stubbed) to handle needs specific to DevTools.
We choose at runtime which console client to install, based on the
--devtools command line flag.
LibWebView now knows how to launch RequestServer and ImageDecoderServer
without help from the UI, so let's move ownership of these services over
to LibWebView for de-duplication.
