Bug 13009 – REGRESSION (r20042): Console spews "CGContextGetType: invalid context" non-stop on web site

• Component: Layout and Rendering
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Summary:

The following message spews non-stop to the console when the URL (http://tf1.lci.fr/) is loaded:

CGContextGetType: invalid context

This is a fairly recent regression (within the last 24 hours).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open WebKit debug build.
2. Access URL:  http://tf1.lci.fr/
3. Wait for page to load.

Expected results:

No "CGContextGetType: invalid context" messages should be printed to the console.

Actual results:

The "CGContextGetType: invalid context" messages are printed to the console non-stop until the page is closed.

Regression:

This wasn't happening with debug builds less than 24 hours ago.

Of course, I can't reproduce it now.  Probably a particular ad was being displayed.

If anyone sees this again, please save a webarchive of the page.

I was missing a step in the steps to reproduce:

1. Open WebKit debug build.
2. Access URL:  http://tf1.lci.fr/
3. Wait for page to load.
4. Hide Safari.

As soon as Safari is hidden, the message starts spewing to the console and never stops until the browser window is closed.

This is a regression from r20042 which was the fix for Bug 12515.

I'm also seeing these console messages sporadically (on this URL, for example: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=cute+kittens&s=int):

Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0x35
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0x35
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0xbd
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0x35
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0xcb
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0x35
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0x35
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0x35
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x7b 0x35

I'm not sure if this is caused by r20042 or not, though.

This appears to have been a different issue.  Please ignore it.

And is fixed as of r20057.

The website http://weplayanything.com spews this before anything is even rendered, without having to hide Safari.

Checks for null ptr before calling WKCGContextIsBitmapContext.

A fairly trivial (low-risk) fix for this issue

Do you know why there's a null context?
