With same-site BFCache enabled every navigation can now potentially be served
via the BFCache. To support this internally a new top-level RenderFrame object
may be created for each new navigation. As a result, OnBrowserCreated may now
be called multiple times with the same browser ID in a given renderer process
(a behavior previously only seen with cross-site navigations and different
renderer processes).
BFCache navigations do not trigger the same Chromium notifications as a normal
load. To avoid breaking CEF API usage expectations we now synthetically
generate the load-related callbacks that would otherwise be missing
(OnLoadingStateChange with isLoading=true, OnLoadStart, OnLoadEnd). The
|httpStatusCode| argument to OnLoadEnd will be 0 in this case.
To test:
- Run `FrameHandlerTest.*:MessageRouterTest.*:NavigationTest.*`
- Run `NavigationTest.LoadSameOriginLoadURL` for OnBrowserCreated behavior.
- Run `NavigationTest.History` for load-related callback behavior.
When BackForwardCache is enabled and the user navigates the main frame
back/forward a new RFH may be created for an existing main frame GlobalId value
and CefFrameHostImpl (e.g. an object that was previously Detach()ed after main
frame navigation called SetMainFrame, but for which RenderFrameDeleted was not
subsequently called due to insertion in the BackForwardCache). In this case we
can re-attach the new RFH to the existing main frame CefFrameHostImpl in
RenderFrameHostStateChanged and resume processing of messages.
Swapping back/forward to an existing (already loaded) renderer does not trigger
new notifications for draggable regions (e.g. RenderFrameObserver::
DraggableRegionsChanged is not called by default). We therefore explicitly
request an update of draggable regions by sending the DidStopLoading message to
the renderer.
A new |reattached| parameter is added to CefFrameHandler::OnFrameAttached to
support identification of BackForwardCache usage by the client.
To test with unit tests:
Run `ceftests --gtest_filter=DraggableRegionsTest.DraggableRegionsCrossOrigin
--enable-features=BackForwardCache`
To test manually:
1. Run `cefclient --enable-features=BackForwardCache --use-views
--url=http://tests/draggable`, note that draggable regions work.
2. Load https://www.google.com via the address bar, note that draggable regions
are removed.
3. Go back to http://tests/draggable, note that draggable regions work.
4. Go forward to https://www.google.com, note that draggable regions are
removed.
When BackForwardCache is enabled the old RFH tree may be cached instead of being
immediately deleted as a result of main frame navigation. If a RFH is cached
then delivery of the CefFrameHandler::OnFrameDetached callback will be delayed
until the the RFH is ejected from the cache (possibly not occurring until the
browser is destroyed). This change in OnFrameDetached timing was causing
FrameHandlerTest.OrderSubCrossOrigin* to fail, and the inclusion of cached
frames in CefBrowserInfo::GetAllFrames was causing
FrameTest.NestedIframesDiffOrigin to fail.
BackForwardCache is currently being tested via field trials (see
https://crbug.com/1171298) and can be explicitly disabled using the
`--disable-back-forward-cache` or `--disable-features=BackForwardCache`
command-line flags.
- Convert scoped_ptr to std::unique_ptr from <memory>
- Convert arraysize to base::size from include/base/cef_cxx17_backports.h
- Convert NULL to nullptr
- Include include/base/cef_callback.h instead of include/base/cef_bind.h
- Implicit conversion of CefRefPtr<T> or scoped_refptr<T> to T* is gone;
use .get() instead
See the issue for additional details.
See the new cef_frame_handler.h for complete usage documentation.
This change includes the following related enhancements:
- The newly added CefBrowser::IsValid method will return false (in the browser
process) after CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeClose is called.
- CefBrowser::GetMainFrame will return a valid object (in the browser process)
until after CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforeClose is called.
- The main frame object will change during cross-origin navigation or
re-navigation after renderer process termination. During that time,
GetMainFrame will return the new/pending frame (in the browser process) and
any messages that arrive for the new/pending frame will be correctly
attributed in OnProcessMessageReceived.
- Commands to be executed in the renderer process that may fail during early
frame initialization (ExecuteJavaScript, LoadRequest, etc.) will now be
queued until after the JavaScript context for the frame has been created.
- Logging has been added for any commands that are dropped because they arrived
after frame detachment.
