We don't create a ChromeProcess in headless-browser, so it is currently
not increasing it's open file limit. This is causing crashes on macOS,
which has a very low default limit.
We very much assume that the SQL storage backend runs in a singleton
process. When this is not the case, and multiple UI processes try to
write to the database at the same time, one of them will fail.
Since --force-new-process is a testing mode flag, let's just disable the
SQL backend when that flag is present.
The main motivator here was noticing that --disable-sql-database did not
work with AppKit. Rather than re-implementing this there, move ownership
of these classes to WebView::Application, so that each UI does not need
to individually worry about it.
If the Downloads directory exists, we will use it (note that this will
respect the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR environment variable).
Otherwise, we will ask the UI layer to retrieve a download directory
from the user. This directory is not saved, so it will be re-prompted
every time. Once a proper settings UI is complete, we will of course
integrate with that for persistent settings.
This commit just adds a command line option to case-insensitively accept
a User-Agent name to use as the UA override. The UIs will individually
need to make use of this option.
This creates a TimeZoneWatcher in the UI process to inform all open
WebContent processes when the time zone changes. The WebContent process
will clear its time zone cache to retrieve a fresh zone the next time
it is asked for one.
This allows us to get identical metrics on macOS and Linux. Without
this, Skia will use CoreText on macOS and give us slightly different
text metrics. That causes layout tests to be slightly different on
different platforms, which is a huge headache. So let's not do that.
You can now launch Ladybird and headless-browser with --force-fontconfig
to load fonts through fontconfig. Tests run in this mode by default.
This removes the --enable-callgrind-profiling flag, and replaces it with
a --profile-process=<process-name> flag. For example:
ladybird --profile-process=WebContent
ladybird --profile-process=RequestServer
This allows profiling any helper process with callgrind.
This removes the --debug-web-content flag, and replaces it with a
--debug-process=<process-name> flag. For example:
ladybird --debug-process=WebContent
ladybird --debug-process=RequestServer
This allows attaching gdb to any helper process.
Currently, if we want to add a new e.g. WebContent command line option,
we have to add it to all of Qt, AppKit, and headless-browser. (Or worse,
we only add it to one of these, and we have feature disparity).
To prevent this, this moves command line flags to WebView::Application.
The flags are assigned to ChromeOptions and WebContentOptions structs.
Each chrome can still add its platform-specific options; for example,
the Qt chrome has a flag to enable Qt networking.
There should be no behavior change here, other than that AppKit will now
support command line flags that were previously only supported by Qt.
This large commit also refactors LibWebView's process handling to use
a top-level Application class that uses a new WebView::Process class to
encapsulate the IPC-centric nature of each helper process.
