Bug 147073 – Can't use Web Inspector on web views made by TestWebKitAPI

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

When running API tests, the web views made by TestWebKitAPI don’t show up in Safari’s Develop menu.

Hi Dan,

I looked into this yesterday. In 2021, this mostly works, except that it is necessary to spin a nested run loop at the point in the test where you would like to remote inspect the WebView. Messages from the remote connection are dispatched through UIProcess, so if lldb has paused UIProcess, WebInspectorUI will not be able to get any data from the inspected WebView.

I'm going to write some debug helper macros similar to SLEEP_THREAD_FOR_DEBUGGER() so that it's easy for a test to spin the run loop until a Web Inspector frontend has attached or detached to a specific webview.

This works without further modifications. I used two macros to debug a recent issue this way, and I think it's worth checking them in for future debugging sessions.

NIT: Should we add `#import "WKWebViewPrivate.h` to this file, or just assume/hope that callers will have already done that?

> Tools/TestWebKitAPI/PlatformUtilities.h:26
> +#pragma once

NIT: Is it necessary/desirable to have both` #pragma once` and the `#ifndef` pattern in the same file?

I added this and the forced import because including DebugUtilities.h before WTFStringUtilities.h or PlatformUtilities will hit this build failure in many files.

Hmm, good point.

They are not in the same file, and yes. The default definition of the macro is in StringConcatenate.h.

err, sorry by "`#ifndef` pattern" i meant having both `#pragma once` and `#ifndef PlatformUtilities_h` in this file

Ah I just figured it out when tweaking the patch. :P
