Bug 166492 – [GTK] WebCore/CSSParser unit test is not being built

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Manuel Rego Casasnovas]

This test was introduced in bug #136217 (r175930).
https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/r175930

But just the day after, as it was causing issues to build GTK+ port the unit test was removed from the CMake file so it's not build anymore since then (r176015).

We should build this test in GTK+ too, but something like this is not enough:

I'm getting some linking errors: http://sprunge.us/gBeQ

Why do you need to link to WebKit2 for WebCore tests? I know you need this to avoid the linking issues you mentioned, but the thing is why you get linking issues.

This was the way to fix the linking error, but I'm not sure where is the real problem.

I see that if we call the following method we got the linking error:
  RuntimeEnabledFeatures& RuntimeEnabledFeatures::sharedFeatures()
  {
      static NeverDestroyed<RuntimeEnabledFeatures> runtimeEnabledFeatures;

      return runtimeEnabledFeatures;
  }

Any idea is welcomed. :-)

Like Carlos says, this is a layering violation. All the missing symbols are in WebCore anyway, so linking to WebKit2 doesn't make sense; that's only fixing the problem because WebKit2 happens to link to the missing library. We need to figure out what's really wrong.

Try linking to WebCore in addition to WebCorePlatformGTK, does that fix it?

No, I already tried that.

Let's see if I manage to find what's going on...

It seems the issue is also fixed if we use "ADD_WHOLE_ARCHIVE_TO_LIBRARIES".

What do you think about this approach?
