Use the LibWebView history mirror to preserve traversable session
history across WebContent process swaps. WebContent reports snapshots to
the UI process, and new renderers can be seeded from the mirror.
Browser back and forward now resolve through the UI-owned used history
steps. WebContent still runs the spec traversal path when the current
renderer has enough matching state to do so.
Handle canceled and no-op UI navigations without leaving speculative
history entries or pending WebDriver waits behind. Preserve traversal
precheck state across synchronous IPC shutdown, and avoid overwriting a
restored target entry's persisted scroll state before the document has
adopted that entry.
Store direct Core::EventLoop references in WebDriver and the
Compositor when callbacks post back to the process main loop. The
main event loop is intentionally kept alive for the lifetime of these
services, so these paths no longer need WeakEventLoopReference guards.
Move MachPortServer from LibWebView into LibIPC as MachBootstrapListener
and move the Mach message structs from MachMessageTypes.h into LibIPC.
These types are IPC infrastructure, not UI or platform concerns.
Consolidating them in LibIPC keeps the Mach bootstrap handshake
self-contained in a single library and removes LibWebView's dependency
on LibThreading.
Registering multiple Mach port names with the bootstrap server at
runtime is not how macOS expects it to be used — the bootstrap server
is meant for static services, and the only reason we used it originally
was so child processes could reach back to the UI process.
Remove bootstrap_transport_over_socket(), which had both sides register
dynamic names with the bootstrap server and exchange them over a socket.
Instead, WebDriver and BrowserProcess connections now go through
MachPortServer instances directly. When a non-child process contacts a
MachPortServer, the server creates a port pair on demand (detected via
sysctl ppid check) and returns the local half immediately. This keeps
bootstrap server usage limited to the one original case: child processes
looking up their parent's MachPortServer.
WebDriver Session now runs its own MachPortServer per session.
--webdriver-content-path becomes --webdriver-mach-server-name on macOS.
Spare WebContent launches are skipped when a WebDriver session is active
to avoid bootstrap races.
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.
The WebDriver spec now separately tracks an active HTTP session list,
which will contains all non-BiDi WebDriver sessions by default. There
may only be one active HTTP session at a time.
See: https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/commit/63a397f
Session management is a bit awkward right now in that the list of active
sessions is managed by Client, resulting in operations like closing a
session being split between several functions in Client and Session.
This patch moves all session management to the Session class. Closing a
session is now entirely in Session::close().
This will make managing a separate HTTP session list a bit simpler.
Lots of editorial spec bugs here, but these changes largely affect how
the unhandledPromptBehavior capability is handled. We also now set an
additional capability for the default User Agent string.
WebDriver script authors may now provide either:
* A user prompt handler configuration to be used for all prompt types.
* A set of per-prompt-type user prompt handlers.
This also paves the way for interaction with the beforeunload prompt,
though we do not yet support that feature in LibWeb.
