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 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.
This change configures session restore behavior for the NEXT application
restart by setting the "session.restore_on_startup" preference based on the
[CefSettings|CefRequestContextSettings].persist_session_cookies value.
This change adds a CefDownloadHandler::CanDownload callback for optionally
blocking user-initiated downloads (e.g. alt + link click or link click that
returns a `Content-Disposition: attachment` response from the server).
To test:
- Run `ceftests --gtest_filter=DownloadTest.*`.
- Run `cefclient --hide-controls`. User-initiated downloads will be blocked.
This change adds a CefCommandHandler::OnChromeCommand callback for optionally
handling Chrome commands triggered via menus or keyboard shortcuts. Supported
command IDs are listed in a new cef_command_ids.h header file.
To test: Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --hide-controls`. Most commands
will blocked and removed from context menus.
This change adds `CefBrowserSettings.chrome_status_bubble` for controlling
whether the Chrome status bubble will be used.
Testable in cefclient by passing the `--hide-chrome-status-bubble`
command-line flag.
Create a CefFileSystemDelegate based on the ShellFileSystemDelegate placeholder
implementation. An actual implementation will still be required to properly
support this download functionality.
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.
This fixes warnings when compiling with `-Wstrict-prototypes`.
Functions with empty parameter lists behave differently in C and C++:
- void func() in C is same as void func(...) in C++.
- void func() in C++ is same as void func(void) in C.
Use chrome://inspect for remote debugging. The localhost server landing
page is currently deprecated and will be removed in M100 (see
https://crbug.com/1232509#c25).
The mojo channel used for frame communication may disconnect for a variety of
reasons including frame navigation, frame destruction, or insertion into the
BackForwardCache (when the browser-side frame representation is destroyed and
closes the connection). When disconnect occurs we now evaluate the situation
and reconnect if appropriate.
Connections are now initiated solely from the renderer process and the
RenderFrame is passed as an argument to FrameAttached() instead of being
retrieved independently. Messages are queued while the frame is disconnected
and sent only after FrameAttachedAck() is received from the browser process.
The renderer process will be crashed intentionally with a "connection retry
failure" message if the reconnect fails 3 times in a row.
Add the generated includes/ directory to CEF's "config" so that source files
included in patched Chromium targets (for example, blink_glue.cc) can find
cef_config.h which will be included via `include/internal/cef_types_linux.h`
on Linux.
