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.
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 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.
Before this change, clients were kept alive by making them children of
the TCPServer object. This ownership model is going away (and this was
the only remaining use of it!) so let's just put the clients in a hash
table instead.
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.
