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]`
- Fix UI thread shutdown issues on early app exit.
- views: cefclient: Fix threading requirements in RootWindowViews::Init when
called on the UI thread via OnAlreadyRunningAppRelaunch.
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.
Existing UI thread shutdown tasks need to be executed before the UI
thread RunLoop is terminated. Those tasks have now been moved to
CefMainRunner::StartShutdownOnUIThread and FinishShutdownOnUIThread is
now called after the RunLoop is terminated.
This fixes a shutdown crash in ChromeProcessSingleton::DeleteInstance.
DeleteInstance needs to be called on the UI thread near the end of the
shutdown process (after ChromeProcessSingleton::Cleanup is called via
PostMainMessageLoopRun).
Executes CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnAlreadyRunningAppRelaunch
callback for when an already running app is relaunched with the
same CefSettings.root_cache_path.
Adds "Root Cache Path" value and related explainer text to
chrome://version.
Adds a LOG(WARNING) that will be output on startup if
CefSettings.root_cache_path is unset in the client app.
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)
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.
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.
Write access to the shared memory region is required because JavaScript lacks
the capability to create read-only ArrayBuffers. When a user attempts to modify
an ArrayBuffer that utilizes a ReadOnlySharedMemoryRegion as its BackingStore
it triggers an access violation.
Note that this pull request may be reverted in the future if JavaScript adds
read-only ArrayBuffer support.
This avoids a situation where misbehaving clients may cause the
application to continue running indefinitely by posting new UI
thread tasks after calling CefQuitMessageLoop.
This change replaces existing CefSettings.user_data_path usage with
CefSettings.root_cache_path for better alignment with the Chrome runtime.
All files should now be written inside the root_cache_path directory.
Use pointers to incomplete struct types. If an argument of a not suitable
type is passed to a function of any string collection,
C compiler will warn:
warning: passing argument 1 of <func> from incompatible pointer type
C++ compiler will raise an error, for example:
error: cannot convert 'cef_string_list_t' ... to 'cef_string_multimap_t'
With the previously used `void*` pointer types, such errors in a code were not
diagnosed.
- 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.
Change the default stack size to 8 MiB for 64-bit and 0.5 MiB for 32-bit.
CEF's main thread needs at least a 1.5 MiB stack size in order to avoid
stack overflow crashes. However, if this is set in the PE file then other
threads get this size as well, leading to address-space exhaustion in 32-bit
CEF. A new CefRunWinMainWithPreferredStackSize function uses fibers to switch
the main thread to a 4 MiB stack (roughly the same effective size as the
64-bit build's 8 MiB stack) before running any other code.
This change additionally moves the existing Windows-only functions
CefSetOSModalLoop and CefEnableHighDPISupport from cef_app.h to cef_win.h.
