Bug 117143 – Make WTR use its own temporary directory for application cache

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Csaba Osztrogonác]

Similar bug report for disk cache directory, local storage directory 
and database directory: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89666

We need it for parallel testing and for clobbering the cache after the run 
for the next run. It would make the bots more robust and faster a little bit.

first patch for EWS testing

When adding this code, please remove WebKitLocalCacheDefaultsKey from WebContextMac.mm. 

This preference key is used by DumpRenderTree for the same purpose, but it's essentially unused in WebKit2, and keeping this code in addition to what you are adding would create substantial confusion.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Perhaps this patch will let us re-enable testing appcache on mac-wk2.

If m_overrideApplicationCacheDirectory.isEmpty() is true,
the return value is platformDefaultApplicationCacheDirectory()
which is in Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/mac/WebContextMac.mm,
the old WebContext::applicationCacheDirectory().

I don't understand what should be its default return 
value without any WebKitLocalCacheDefaultsKey ?

suggested Mac cleanup

It will just take the path from confstr(_CS_DARWIN_USER_CACHE_DIR), and append application's bundle identifier, as it does today. Since WebKitTestRunner doesn't set WebKitLocalCache defaults key, trying it is just dead code.

Attached is the change I'm suggesting.

Thanks for the Mac cleanup, I integrated it to this patch.

I would say that these functions are for WebKitTestRunner only, and would also consider going WebKit1 way, and just providing a single override for all cache files.

Perhaps there was a reason for fine-grained controls that I'm not aware of though.
