Bug 115578 – [GTK] [WebKit2] enable displaying console.log messages to system console

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[arno.]

Hi,
WebCore preferences have a logsPageMessagesToSystemConsoleEnabled method which allows to display console (page) message to system console (shell console).
Maybe we could expose that to WebKit2 Gtk API.

Looks good to me, with just a few nits about naming and style and such. This needs to be approved by another GTK+ reviewer as well.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/gtk/WebKitSettings.cpp:1108
> +     * WebKitSettings:enable-messages-to-system-console:

I'm not sure if the "system console" is a Gnomey concept. Perhaps this would be better named something like enable-page-messages-sent-to-stdout, though that seems a bit clunky too.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/gtk/WebKitSettings.cpp:1110
> +     * Enable or disable displaying of page messages to system console.

You should probably explain a bit that this applies to messages that normally go to the web inspector console.

>> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/gtk/WebKitSettings.cpp:1113
>> +                                    PROP_ENABLE_MESSAGES_TO_SYSTEM_CONSOLE,

Please fix these style issues.

Looks like the indentation is off here.

I checked and those messages are only written in case of a message console. So I think it would make sense to specify console in the name of the setting. In the new patch, the setting is called enable-write-console-messages-to-stdout; Other nits are fixed

[Sam Weinig]

Looks fine to me.

Looks good to me. This needs another GTK+ reviewer to approve the new API, but I like the name now. :)

You probably want to expand this documentation slightly to say that this includes console.log and friends.

Gustavo, Xan, or Carlos, could you take a look at this new WK2 API and r+ the patch if it appears reasonable to you as well?
