Split the Alloy runtime into bootstrap and style components. Support
creation of Alloy style browsers and windows with the Chrome runtime.
Chrome runtime (`--enable-chrome-runtime`) + Alloy style
(`--use-alloy-style`) supports Views (`--use-views`), native parent
(`--use-native`) and windowless rendering
(`--off-screen-rendering-enabled`).
Print preview is supported in all cases except with windowless rendering
on all platforms and native parent on MacOS. It is disabled by default
with Alloy style for legacy compatibility. Where supported it can be
enabled or disabled globally using `--[enable|disable]-print-preview` or
configured on a per-RequestContext basis using the
`printing.print_preview_disabled` preference. It also behaves as
expected when triggered via the PDF viewer print button.
Chrome runtime + Alloy style behavior differs from Alloy runtime in the
following significant ways:
- Supports Chrome error pages by default.
- DevTools popups are Chrome style only (cannot be windowless).
- The Alloy extension API will not supported.
Chrome runtime + Alloy style passes all expected Alloy ceftests except
the following:
- `DisplayTest.AutoResize` (Alloy extension API not supported)
- `DownloadTest.*` (Download API not yet supported)
- `ExtensionTest.*` (Alloy extension API not supported)
This change also adds Chrome runtime support for
CefContextMenuHandler::RunContextMenu (see #3293).
This change also explicitly blocks (and doesn't retry) FrameAttached
requests from PDF viewer and print preview excluded frames (see #3664).
Known issues specific to Chrome runtime + Alloy style:
- DevTools popup with windowless rendering doesn't load successfully.
Use windowed rendering or remote debugging as a workaround.
- Chrome style Window with Alloy style BrowserView (`--use-alloy-style
--use-chrome-style-window`) does not show Chrome theme changes.
To test:
- Run `ceftests --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style
[--use-chrome-style-window] [--use-views|--use-native]
--gtest_filter=...`
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style
[--use-chrome-style-window]
[--use-views|--use-native|--off-screen-rendering-enabled]`
- Run `cefsimple --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style [--use-views]`
Controls now respect OS and Chrome themes by default for both Alloy
and Chrome runtimes. Chrome themes (mode and colors) can be configured
using the new CefRequestContext::SetChromeColorScheme method. Individual
theme colors can be overridden using the new CefWindowDelegate::
OnThemeColorsChanged and CefWindow::SetThemeColor methods.
The `--force-light-mode` and `--force-dark-mode` command-line flags are
now respected on all platforms as an override for the OS theme.
The current Chrome theme, if any, will take precedence over the OS theme
when determining light/dark status. On Windows and MacOS the titlebar
color will also be updated to match the light/dark theme.
Testable as follows:
- Run: `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime` OR
`cefclient --use-views --persist-user-preferences --cache-path=...`
- App launches with default OS light/dark theme colors.
- Change OS dark/light theme under system settings. Notice that theme
colors change as expected.
- Right click, select items from the new Theme sub-menu. Notice that
theme colors behave as expected.
- Exit and relaunch the app. Notice that the last-used theme colors are
applied on app restart.
- Add `--background-color=green` to above command-line.
- Perform the same actions as above. Notice that all controls start
and remain green throughout (except some icons with Chrome runtime).
- Add `--force-light-mode` or `--force-dark-mode` to above command-line.
- Perform the same actions as above. Notice that OS dark/light theme
changes are ignored, but Chrome theme changes work as expected.
Chrome design changed to rounded top corners by default with
Chrome Refresh 2023. Square corners look better when the toolbar
is part of a custom Views-hosted layout, like in cefclient.
The client can optionally wait or terminate the render process.
Expose process exit codes via OnRenderProcessTerminated and
CefGetExitCode (fixes#2126).
cefclient: Add a new https://tests/hang page for testing hang behavior.
cefclient: Move message and resource handling to a new BaseClientHandler
class to support loading of test pages in default Chrome UI windows.
Chromium considers initially-minimized windows to be visible at
creation time in the Aura layer. This confuses the native occlusion
detector which knows that the OS window is initially hidden due to
IsIconic returning true. Start occlusion tracking with consistent
state by delaying enablement until the initially-minimized window is
restored for the first time.
- Adds `--initial-show-state=hidden` support for cefclient and cefsimple
where the window launches as initially hidden (no dock thumbnail).
- Adds `--hide-window-on-close` support for cefclient where clicking the
red traffic light button hides the window instead of closing it.
Frame identifiers have changed from int64_t to string type. This is due
to https://crbug.com/1502660 which removes access to frame routing IDs
in the renderer process. New cross-process frame identifiers are 160-bit
values (32-bit child process ID + 128-bit local frame token) and most
easily represented as strings. All other frame-related expectations and
behaviors remain the same.
Adds a new CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnAlreadyRunningAppRelaunch
callback for when an already running app is relaunched with the
same CefSettings.root_cache_path.
Client apps should check the CefInitialize() return value for early
exit of the relaunch source process.
- chrome: Disable upgrade/downgrade behavior (see #3608)
- chrome: Disable process singleton behavior (see #3609)
- chrome: Disable config as default system browser (see #3613)
This fixes the app icon for default Chrome windows such as DevTools
and Task Manager.
An ICON with value IDR_MAINFRAME (101) will be loaded from the main
executable is available. Otherwise, the default Chromium ICON will be
loaded from libcef.dll.
Cookies (and other credentials) will be excluded when appropriate by
downgrading |credentials_mode| from kSameOrigin to kOmit.
Improve logic for Origin header inclusion, including a fix for
Referrer/Origin calculation in URLRequestJob::ComputeReferrerForPolicy
when used with custom standard schemes.
Specify correct CookiePartitionKeyCollection when loading cookies.
To test:
- Run tests from https://browseraudit.com/ with and without
`--disable-request-handling-for-testing`. Results are the same.
- Run `ceftests --gtest_filter=CorsTest.*`.
Add new CefBrowserHost::[Can]ExecuteChromeCommand methods for executing
arbitrary Chrome commands.
Add support for existing CefBrowserHost::ShowDevTools, CloseDevTools and
HasDevTools methods.
DevTools windows now support the same Views callbacks as normal popup
windows with the new CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeDevToolsPopup callback
as the DevTools-specific equivalent of OnBeforePopup.
Always create DevTools as an undocked window to support use of
ShowDevTools with default Chrome browser windows.
To test:
Run `ceftests --enable-chrome-runtime [--use-views]
--gtest_filter=V8Test.OnUncaughtExceptionDevTools`
OR:
1. Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime [--use-native]`
2. Select "Show DevTools", "Close DevTools" or "Inspect" from the
right-click menu.
3. Notice that the DevTools window is Views-hosted (or native-hosted)
and works as expected.
Add --use-default-popup to get a default styled popup in step 3.
When running ceftests with Views enabled always close the CefWindow
when the browser is destroyed and wait for both CefBrowser and
CefWindow destruction before signaling test completion.
To test:
Run `ceftests --enable-chrome-runtime --use-views
--gtest_filter=FrameHandlerTest.OrderMainPopup*:RequestContextTest.PopupNavDestroyParent*`
Disable Chrome policy management by default. Add CefSettings.chrome_policy_id
which, when configured, enables Chrome policy management. See
https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/9037717 for background.
To test:
- Start with a machine where Google Chrome is managed.
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --url=chrome://policy/`
There should be no configured policies.
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --url=chrome://policy/
--enable-chrome-policy`
Configured Platform properties should match Google Chrome.
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --url=chrome://policy/
--enable-chrome-policy --enable-chrome-browser-cloud-management`
Configured Platform and Cloud properties should match Google Chrome.
Use the same code path for all fullscreen transitions so that Chrome UI updates
correctly. All user-initiated fullscreen transitions now result in
CefWindowDelegate::OnWindowFullscreenTransition callbacks.
A modal dialog is a child CefWindow that implements some special behaviors
relative to a parent CefWindow. Like any CefWindow it can be framed with
titlebar or frameless, and optionally contain draggable regions (subject to
platform limitations described below). Modal dialogs are shown centered on
the parent window (inside a single display) and always stay on top of the
parent window in z-order. Sizing behavior and available window buttons are
controlled via the usual CefWindowDelegate callbacks. For example, the dialog
can have a preferred size with resize, minimize and maximize disabled (via
GetPreferredSize, CanResize, CanMinimize and CanMaximize respectively).
This change adds support for two modality modes. With window modality all
controls in the parent window are disabled. With browser modality only the
browser view in the parent window is disabled.
Both modality modes require that a valid parent window be returned via
GetParentWindow. For window modality return true from IsWindowModalDialog
and call CefWindow::Show. For browser modality return false from
IsWindowModalDialog (the default value) and call
CefWindow::ShowAsBrowserModalDialog with a reference to the parent window's
browser view.
Window modal dialog behavior depends on the platform. On Windows and
Linux these dialogs have a titlebar and can be moved independent of the
parent window. On macOS these dialogs do not have a titlebar, move with
the parent window, and do not support draggable regions (because they are
implemented using sheets). On Linux disabling the parent window controls
requires a window manager the supports _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL.
Browser modal dialog behavior is similar on all platforms. The dialog will
be automatically sized and positioned relative to the parent window's
browser view. Closing the parent window or navigating the parent browser
view will dismiss the dialog. The dialog can also be moved independent of
the parent window though it will be recentered when the parent window
itself is resized or redisplayed. On MacOS the dialog will move along with
the parent window while on Windows and Linux the parent window can be moved
independently.
To test: Use the Tests > Dialog Window menu option in cefclient with Views
enabled (`--use-views` or `--enable-chrome-runtime` command-line flag).
Browser modal dialog is the default behavior. For window modal dialog add
the `--use-window-modal-dialog` command-line flag.
This change adds new CefCommandHandler callbacks for optionally hiding
specific Chrome toolbar icons, buttons and app menu items.
To test: Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --filter-chrome-commands`.
Most icons, buttons and app/context menu items will be hidden.
The CefFrame::CreateURLRequest method is no longer supported in the renderer
process. Usage of this method was already limited to same-origin requests due
to renderer process CORS restrictions, and the underlying Blink API has now
been removed in https://crbug.com/1413912 (M112+).
Existing alternatives include CefURLRequest usage in the browser process, or
JavaScript XMLHttpRequest/fetch API usage in the renderer process.
Note: In current master (based on M111), document PiP partially works when
run with the `--enable-features=DocumentPictureInPictureAPI` command-line
flag. However, the document PiP implementation at this Chromium version is
missing fixes that have already been cherry-picked to the 5563 release
branch. Those fixes will only be available in master after the next Chromium
update (to M112).
- mac: Xcode 14.0 with macOS SDK 13.0 is now required.
- Remove CefRequestHandler::OnQuotaRequest because persistent quota is no
longer supported (see https://crbug.com/1208141)
Custom global and request context preferences can now be registered via
CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnRegisterCustomPreferences. CefRequestContext
now extends CefPreferenceManager and global preferences can be accessed
via CefPreferenceManager::GetGlobalPreferenceManager.
Use ScreenWin functions to correctly compute DIP/pixel conversions for
CEF-created top-level windows.
Fix incorrect DIPToScreenRect usage in DesktopWindowTreeHostWin when
|has_external_parent_| is true.
Fix "error: use of result of assignment to object of volatile-
qualified type 'volatile gsize' (aka 'volatile unsigned long') is
deprecated [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-volatile]" when building with
use_sysroot=false on Ubuntu 18.04.
This service is required by the "PermissionOnDeviceNotificationPredictions"
feature which is enabled by default in https://crbug.com/1350956. It uses a
Google backend service as described at https://go.dev/solutions/google/chrome.
This change removes the usage of PredictionBasedPermissionUiSelector, which
triggered this dependency, along with related startup complexity that was added
to support the optimization/prediction service in the M106 update.
DesktopWindowTreeHostWin ("Chrome_WidgetWin_0") focus needs to be set before
the associated call to WebContents::Focus. In the case of mouse click events,
this means ::SetFocus needs to be called explicitly. See updated comments in
CefBrowserPlatformDelegateNativeWin::SetFocus.
