This functionality stopped being relevant after the removal of Flash support
in January 2021. The last remaining PPAPI plugin (PDF viewer) will switch to
a non-plugin implementation (PdfUnseasoned) in M100.
Running `cefsimple --enable-chrome-runtime` will create and run a
Chrome browser window using the CEF app methods, and call
CefApp::OnContextInitialized as expected. CEF task methods also
work as expected in the main process. No browser-related methods or
callbacks are currently supported for the Chrome window, and the
application will exit when the last Chrome window closes.
The Chrome runtime requires resources.pak, chrome_100_percent.pak
and chrome_200_percent.pak files which were not previously built
with CEF. It shares the existing locales pak files which have been
updated to include additional Chrome-specific strings.
On Linux, the Chrome runtime requires GTK so use_gtk=true must be
specified via GN_DEFINES when building.
This change also refactors the CEF runtime, which can be tested in
the various supported modes by running:
$ cefclient
$ cefclient --multi-threaded-message-loop
$ cefclient --external-message-pump
- Move all tests from the top-level directory to tests/.
- Move files shared by cefclient and unittests to tests/shared/.
- Add a fused (single header/source file) version of gtest in
tests/gtest/ with associated CMake configuration.
- Test-only headers are now exposed in include/test/. Unit test
targets must define UNIT_TEST in order to access them.
- Replace usage of USING_CEF_SHARED with WRAPPING_CEF_SHARED for
clarity (only the libcef_dll_wrapper target should define it).
- Remove the RENAME_DIRECTORY CMake macro which is no longer used.
- Remove C++11 usage from unittests sources for compatibility with
the binary distribution configuration.
- Windows: Fix build errors due to chrome_elf.dll and imm32.lib
missing from the CMake configuration.
