Juggler code had a bug where we subscribed to window and tab events, but did not iterate collections of current windows and tabs. As a result, we were sometimes failing to set viewport size for the initial window, and implemented an artificial promise to workaround the problem. This patch: - starts calling `onOpenWindow` and `onOpenTabListener` callbacks for *all* windows and tabs - current and future, eliminating the race condition. This worked too well and we started overriding window sizes that were set by users with `window.open(url, 'width=300;height=400')` (we have a test for this). To fix this, we now plumb `CHROME_WITH_SIZE` flag from appWindow and override viewport iff this flag is not set. After this patch, we will use the `onTabOpened` event to move user agent emulation to the browser-side. References #3995
Contributing Browser Patches
Firefox and WebKit have additional patches atop to expose necessary capabilities.
Ideally, all these changes should be upstreamed. For the time being, it is possible to setup a browser checkout and develop from there.
1. Setting up local browser checkout
From the playwright
repo, run the following command:
$ ./browser_patches/prepare_checkout.sh firefox <path to checkout>
(you can optionally pass "webkit" for a webkit checkout)
If you don't have a checkout, don't pass a path and one will be created for you in ./browser_patches/firefox/checkout
NOTE: this command downloads GBs of data.
This command will:
- create a
browser_upstream
remote in the checkout - create a
playwright-build
branch and apply all playwright-required patches to it.
2. Developing a new change
You want to create a new branch off the playwright-build
branch.
Assuming that you're under ./browser_patches/firefox/checkout
:
$ git checkout -b my-new-feature playwright-build
$ # develop my feature on the my-new-feature branch ....
3. Exporting your change to playwright repo
Once you're happy with the work you did in the browser-land, you want to export it to the playwright
repo.
Assuming that you're in the root of the playwright
repo and that your browser checkout has your feature branch checked out:
$ ./browser_patches/export.sh firefox <path to checkout>
This script will:
- create a new patch and put it to the
./browser_patches/firefox/patches/
- update the
./browser_patches/firefox/UPSTREAM_CONFIG.sh
if necessary - bump the
./browser_patches/firefox/BUILD_NUMBER
number.
If you omit the path to your checkout, the script will assume one is located at ./browser_patches/firefox/checkout
Send a PR to the Playwright repo to be reviewed.
4. Rolling Playwright to the new browser build
Once the patch has been committed, the build bots will kick in, compile and upload a new browser version to all the platforms. Then you can roll the browser:
$ node utils/roll_browser.js chromium 123456
