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.
Add a simpler CanZoom/Zoom API as an alternative to the more error-prone
SetZoomLevel/GetZoomLevel API. Both APIs are now implemented for both runtimes.
With the Chrome runtime a zoom notification bubble will be displayed unless
CefBrowserSettings.chrome_zoom_bubble is set to STATE_DISABLED.
To test:
- Run cefclient and select zoom entries from the Tests menu.
- chrome: Run cefclient with `--hide-chrome-bubbles` command-line flag to hide
the zoom notification bubble.
When using a Views-hosted browser window the client receives Views-related
callbacks for popups and can thereby customize the Views-hosted popup behavior.
When using an external parent window no Views-related callbacks are delivered
and customization options are restricted to providing a new parent handle via
OnBeforePopup. Consequently, we should default to a normal browser window in
the external parent case instead of the very minimial Views-hosted default.
To test (A):
1. Run `cefclient --use-default-popup --enable-chrome-runtime --use-native`
2. Select Tests > Popup Window
3. Get a normal Chrome browser window
To test (B):
1. Run `cefclient --use-default-popup [--enable-chrome-runtime] [--use-views]`
2. Select Tests > Popup Window
3. Get a native or Views-hosted browser window with title bar only
This change adds Chrome runtime support on Windows and Linux for creating a
browser parented to a native window supplied by the client application.
Expected API usage and window behavior is similar to what already exists with
the Alloy runtime. The parent window handle should be specified by using
CefWindowInfo::SetAsChild in combination with the CefBrowserHost::CreateBrowser
and CefLifeSpanHandler::OnBeforePopup callbacks.
The previously existing behavior of creating a fully-featured Chrome browser
window when empty CefWindowInfo is used with CreateBrowser remains unchanged
and Views is still the preferred API for creating top-level Chrome windows
with custom styling (e.g. title bar only, frameless, etc).
The cefclient Popup Window test with a native parent window continues to crash
on Linux with both the Alloy and Chrome runtimes (see issue #3165).
Also adds Chrome runtime support for CefDisplayHandler::OnCursorChange.
To test:
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime [--use-views]` for the default (and
previously existing) Views-based behavior.
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-native` for the new native
parent window behavior.
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-native --no-activate` and the
window will not be activated (take input focus) on launch (Windows only).
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime [--use-views|--use-native]
--mouse-cursor-change-disabled` and the mouse cursor will not change on
mouseover of DOM elements.
With the Chrome runtime, Profile initialization may be asynchronous. Code that
waited on CefBrowserContext creation now needs to wait on CefBrowserContext
initialization instead.
This change adds support for:
- Protocol and request handling.
- Loading and navigation events.
- Display and focus events.
- Mouse/keyboard events.
- Popup browsers.
- Callbacks in the renderer process.
- Misc. functionality required for ceftests.
This change also adds a new CefBrowserProcessHandler::GetCookieableSchemes
callback for configuring global state that will be applied to all
CefCookieManagers by default. This global callback is currently required by the
chrome runtime because the primary ProfileImpl is created via
ChromeBrowserMainParts::PreMainMessageLoopRun (CreatePrimaryProfile) before
OnContextCreated can be called.
ProfileImpl will use the "C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\CEF\User Data\Default"
directory by default (on Windows). Cookies may persist in this directory when
running ceftests and may need to be manually deleted if those tests fail.
Remaining work includes:
- Support for client-created request contexts.
- Embedding the browser in a Views hierarchy (cefclient support).
- TryCloseBrowser and DoClose support.
- Most of the CefSettings configuration.
- DevTools protocol and window control (ShowDevTools, ExecuteDevToolsMethod).
- CEF-specific WebUI pages (about, license, webui-hosts).
- Context menu customization (CefContextMenuHandler).
- Auto resize (SetAutoResizeEnabled).
- Zoom settings (SetZoomLevel).
- File dialog runner (RunFileDialog).
- File and JS dialog handlers (CefDialogHandler, CefJSDialogHandler).
- Extension loading (LoadExtension, etc).
- Plugin loading (OnBeforePluginLoad).
- Widevine loading (CefRegisterWidevineCdm).
- PDF and print preview does not display.
- Crash reporting is untested.
- Mac: Web content loads but does not display.

The Browser object represents the top-level Chrome browser window. One or more
tabs (WebContents) are then owned by the Browser object via TabStripModel. A
new Browser object can be created programmatically using "new Browser" or
Browser::Create, or as a result of user action such as dragging a tab out of an
existing window. New or existing tabs can also be added to an already existing
Browser object.
The Browser object acts as the WebContentsDelegate for all attached tabs. CEF
integration requires WebContentsDelegate callbacks and notification of tab
attach/detach. To support this integration we add a cef::BrowserDelegate
(ChromeBrowserDelegate) member that is created in the Browser constructor and
receives delegation for the Browser callbacks. ChromeBrowserDelegate creates a
new ChromeBrowserHostImpl when a tab is added to a Browser for the first time,
and that ChromeBrowserHostImpl continues to exist until the tab's WebContents
is destroyed. The associated WebContents object does not change, but the
Browser object will change when the tab is dragged between windows.
CEF callback logic is shared between the chrome and alloy runtimes where
possible. This shared logic has been extracted from CefBrowserHostImpl to
create new CefBrowserHostBase and CefBrowserContentsDelegate classes. The
CefBrowserHostImpl class is now only used with the alloy runtime and will be
renamed to AlloyBrowserHostImpl in a future commit.
- CefURLRequest::Create is no longer supported in the renderer process
(see https://crbug.com/891872). Use CefFrame::CreateURLRequest instead.
- Mac platform definitions have been changed from `MACOSX` to `MAC`
(see https://crbug.com/1105907) and related CMake macro names have
been updated. The old `OS_MACOSX` define is still set in code and CMake
for backwards compatibility.
- Linux ARM build is currently broken (see https://crbug.com/1123214).
- Windows: 10.0.19041 SDK is now required.
- macOS: 10.15.1 SDK (at least Xcode 11.2) is now required.
- Remove CefMediaSource::IsValid and CefMediaSink::IsValid which would
always return true.
