This is no longer required now that we have implicit exclusion
of certain frame types including guest view frames.
Rename GuestView to ExcludedView in the renderer process.
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]`
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.
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.
Run with "--vmodule=frame_*=1 --enable-logging=stderr --no-sandbox" on the
command-line to see these log messages from both the browser and renderer
processes.
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.
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.
This causes a race related to |notification_state_lock_| assignment when
GetMainFrame is called from multiple threads. GetMainFrame doesn't
trigger any notifications so it shouldn't need that lock. Instead, only
use NotificationStateLock on the UI thread.
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.
With the introduction of prerendering in Chromium it is now possible for
RenderFrameHosts (RFH) to move between FrameTrees. As a consequence we can no
longer rely on FrameTreeNode IDs to uniquely identify a RFH over its lifespan.
We must now switch to using GlobalRenderFrameHostId (child_id, frame_routing_id)
instead for that purpose. Additionally, we simplify existing code by using the
GlobalRenderFrameHostId struct in all places that previously used a
(render_process_id, render_frame_id) pair, since these concepts are equivalent.
See https://crbug.com/1179502#c8 for additional background.
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.
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.
When navigating cross-origin a speculative RenderFrameHost (RFH) and
CefFrameHostImpl is created in the browser process for the new frame object
created in a new renderer process. The FrameAttached message then arrives for
the speculative RFH, and as a consequence interfaces are bound between the new
CefFrameHostImpl and the speculative RFH. If the pending navigation commits
then the existing RFH will be replaced with the previously speculative RFH.
Since interfaces are already bound we must keep the new CefFrameHostImpl. This
means that frame objects (including for the main frame) will now always change
after cross-origin navigation, and the old frame object will be invalidated.
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.
The behavior has changed as follows with NetworkService enabled:
- All pending and in-progress requests will now be aborted when the CEF context
or associated browser is destroyed. The OnResourceLoadComplete callback will
now also be called in this case for in-progress requests that have a handler.
- The CefResourceHandler::Cancel method will now always be called when resource
handling is complete, irrespective of whether handling completed successfully.
- Request callbacks that arrive after the OnBeforeClose callback for the
associated browser (which may happen for in-progress requests that are aborted
on browser destruction) will now always have a non-nullptr CefBrowser
parameter.
- Allow empty parameters to CefRequest and CefResponse methods where it makes
sense (e.g. resetting default response state, or clearing a referrer value).
- Fixed a reference loop that was keeping CefResourceHandler objects from being
destroyed if they were holding a callback reference (from ProcessRequest,
ReadResponse, etc.) during CEF context or associated browser destruction.
- Fixed an issue where the main frame was not detached on browser destruction
which could cause a crash due to RFH use-after-free (see issue #2498).
To test: All unit tests pass as expected.
This change moves the SendProcessMessage method from CefBrowser to CefFrame and
adds CefBrowser parameters to OnProcessMessageReceived and
OnDraggableRegionsChanged.
The internal implementation has changed as follows:
- Frame IDs are now a 64-bit combination of the 32-bit render_process_id and
render_routing_id values that uniquely identify a RenderFrameHost (RFH).
- CefFrameHostImpl objects are now managed by CefBrowserInfo with life span tied
to RFH expectations. Specifically, a CefFrameHostImpl object representing a
sub-frame will be created when a RenderFrame is created in the renderer
process and detached when the associated RenderFrame is deleted or the
renderer process in which it runs has died.
- The CefFrameHostImpl object representing the main frame will always be valid
but the underlying RFH (and associated frame ID) may change over time as a
result of cross-origin navigations. Despite these changes calling LoadURL on
the main frame object in the browser process will always navigate as expected.
- Speculative RFHs, which may be created as a result of a cross-origin
navigation and discarded if that navigation is not committed, are now handled
correctly (e.g. ignored in most cases until they're committed).
- It is less likely, but still possible, to receive a CefFrame object with an
invalid frame ID (ID < 0). This can happen in cases where a RFH has not yet
been created for a sub-frame. For example, when OnBeforeBrowse is called
before initiating navigation in a previously nonexisting sub-frame.
To test: All tests pass with NetworkService enabled and disabled.
The optional |extra_info| parameter provides an opportunity to specify extra
information specific to the created browser that will be passed to
CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBrowserCreated() in the render process.
- Introduce native/ and osr/ folders for native (non-platform-agnostic) and
osr (windowless) code respectively.
- Introduce CefBrowserPlatformDelegate for abstracting platform-specific
implementations of browser host functionality.
- Move dialog and menu code to separate manager and platform-specific runner
implementations exposed via CefBrowserPlatformDelegate.
- Standardize focus-handling behavior between windowed and windowless
implementations. CefFocusHandler::OnSetFocus() will now also be called for
osr focus changes.
- Support multiple simultaneous popups (issue #1289).
This implementation supports both GPU compositing and software compositing (used when GPU is not supported or when passing `--disable-gpu --disable-gpu-compositing` command-line flags). GPU-accelerated features (WebGL and 3D CSS) that did not work with the previous off-screen rendering implementation do work with this implementation when GPU support is available.
Rendering now operates on a per-frame basis. The frame rate is configurable via CefBrowserSettings.windowless_frame_rate up to a maximum of 60fps (potentially limited by how fast the system can generate new frames). CEF generates a bitmap from the compositor backing and passes it to CefRenderHandler::OnPaint.
The previous CefRenderHandler/CefBrowserHost API for off-screen rendering has been restored mostly as-is with some minor changes:
- CefBrowserHost::Invalidate no longer accepts a CefRect region argument. Instead of invalidating a specific region it now triggers generation of a new frame.
- The |dirtyRects| argument to CefRenderHandler::OnPaint will now always be a single CefRect representing the whole view (frame) size. Previously, invalidated regions were listed separately.
- Linux: CefBrowserHost::SendKeyEvent now expects X11 event information instead of GTK event information. See cefclient for an example of converting GTK events to the necessary format.
- Sizes passed to the CefRenderHandler OnPaint and OnPopupSize methods are now already DPI scaled. Previously, the client had to perform DPI scaling.
- Includes drag&drop implementation from issue #1032.
- Includes unit test fixes from issue #1245.
