This will avoid loading starting about:blank page in places when we know
exactly what we want to load.
The opening in background part might be useful for future things like
file drops and right-click open in new tab.
This allows us to use standard Serenity IPC infrastructure rather than
manually creating FD-passing sockets. This also lets us use Serenity's
WebDriver Session class, removing the copy previously used in Ladybird.
This ensures any changes to Session in the future will be picked up by
Ladybird for free.
This adds a SQLServer binary for Ladybird to make use of Serenity's SQL
implementation. This has to use the same IPC socket handling that was
used to make WebContent and WebDriver work out-of-process.
Unlike Serenity, Ladybird creates a new SQLServer instance for each
Ladybird instance. In the future, we should try to make sure there is
only one SQLServer instance at a time, and allow multiple Ladybird
instances to communicate with it.
The WebDriver will pass the --webdriver-fd-passing-socket command line
option when it launches Ladybird. Forward this flag onto the WebContent
process, where it will create the WebDriverConnection for IPC.
There are no custom changes for Ladybird in the current copies of those
files, so we just need to ensure to keep Ladybird up to date for any
changes made upstream.
This fixes a build issue introduced by https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/15736.
This patch brings over the WebContent process over from SerenityOS
to Ladybird, along with a new WebContentView widget that renders
web content in a separate process.
There's a lot of jank and FIXME material here, notably I had to re-add
manually pumped Core::EventLoop instances on both sides, in order to get
the IPC protocol running. This introduces a lot of latency and we should
work towards replacing those loops with improved abstractions.
The WebContent process is built separately here (not part of Lagom) and
we provide our own main.cpp for it. Like everything, this can be better
architected, it's just a starting point. :^)
This will allow us to share code with LibWebView from SerenityOS.
(This would otherwise not work, since its "WebView" namespace collides
with our "WebView" class.)
Also, we should eventually move towards a more sophisticated
multi-process WebView like OOPWV.
This patch removes the dual-event-loop setup, leaving only the Qt event
loop. We teach LibWeb how to drive Qt by installing an EventLoopPlugin.
This removes the 50ms latency on all UI interactions (and network
requests, etc.)
This patch removes the browser WebView from the window and places it
inside a Tab object, all wrapped up in a QT tab control. So far you can
create tabs, but can't close them.
This patch adds an event handler to the main window which allows it to
respond to a user closing the window. This event is then passed on to
the LibCore event loop, which allows the application quit itself.
Previously the application would hang, only running in the background,
until killed by an external force.
