Bug 77105 – Implement touch event emulation in the WebCore layer

• Component: UI Events
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Alexander Pavlov (apavlov)]

Web developers for the mobile want to be able to debug their applications using their desktop hardware. This necessitates the emulation of certain aspects of mobile devices not found in desktop computers. One example is the emulation of "touch" events using the mouse pointer.

The proposed implementation is based on http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webevents/raw-file/tip/touchevents.html.
Specifically, http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webevents/raw-file/tip/touchevents.html#mouse-events states that if preventDefault() has been called on a touch event, the associated mouse event(s) should not be dispatched.

Should these be on WebCore::Settings rather than on Document itself?

Can we test this change?  Perhaps using WebCore::Internals?

Thanks for your comments, everyone.

I've moved the property from Document into Settings and come up with a test using InternalSettings.

This condition doesn't seem right. Why is enabling inspector required for synthetic touch events?

Originally, this was not required, but then I noticed that Inspector was going to be the only client of this feature (at least for the time being) and added the second clause. If you think this will make perfect sense for non-inspector-enabled builds, I'll be happy to revert this to the original ENABLE(TOUCH_EVENTS) condition.

As long as symbols are not exported, linkers should strip this code away so I'd rather have it for all builds with TOUCH enabled and hard-coding INSPECTOR dependency. Alternatively, you can add SYNTHETIC_TOUCH_EVENTS flag but that seems like an overkill.

Fine with reverting to just ENABLE(TOUCH_EVENTS). And what do you mean by "hard-coding INSPECTOR dependency"?

I felt like enumerating all mouse events in case we might want to make use of them for some kind of additional emulation (that is, we have some "spare" mouse event to use.)

Not really. This switch chooses an unsigned value describing one of the three event types, the other one (in SyntheticTouchPoint ctor) chooses PlatformTouchPoint::State, which is quite different (describes a touch point state,) and in the general case the State-related mapping won't be as simple (e.g. it may have stationary touchpoints.) Consider this a V1 of the emulation protocol.

This feature will be exposed to the users in the Web Inspector UI (a checkbox in the Settings) shortly after this core change has been landed (patch making use of this change in bug 77096). E.g. you will be able to go to http://paulirish.com/demo/multi, enable the emulation mode and draw in the canvas with your mouse just as you would draw there on your touch-enabled device (with a single touch point.) There are no other clients (barring this test) that toggle the emulation mode at the moment.

All you need to do is:
var successfullyParsed = true;
at the end of script.

I think you need a break after ASSERT_NOT_REACHED on some ports.

Ditto about break.

We don't normally add a comment like this; instead we follow the same convention.

We normally return defaultPrevented.

It seems unnecessary to indent the entire script content like this.

Why can't we just put this as a markup and obtain the div?
i.e. <div id="touchtarget" style="width: 100px; height: 100px; background-color: blue;"></div>
var touchTarget = document.getElementById('touchtarget');

I don't think you need this debug given that the time is going to timeout when notifyDone is never called.

Do:
var successfullyParsed = true;
here.

My guess was that successfullyParsed denoted the correctness of all the JavaScript executed so far, right? (Because all the cases using successfullyParsed I have seen are synchronous, so parsing errors and execution errors appear at the same time. OTOH, placing "var a; a.foo();" in a touch event handler and placing "var successfullyParsed = true;" at the end of script would yield no errors, but the test would never work correctly.) Since our test is asynchronous, this makes no sense until the point when we notify testController about the test termination. Do you think "var successfullyParsed = true;" at the end of script is the right solution?

No, successfullyParsed is there to say that "the test script parsed without syntax errors".

> Since our test is asynchronous, this makes no sense until the point when we notify testController about the test termination.

That's not what successfullyParsed is used for.

I got confused because in the suggested setup it was not used in any way.

successfullyParsed is used only in isSuccessfullyParsed() (called from finishJSTest()). That said, I guess I've figured it out. I need to call finishJSTest() and include js-test-post.js at the end of the file.

The point was that this does not correspond to defaultPrevented in the case when no touch event dispatching takes place, but looks like this can be included into the abstraction of "conditional event dispatching" :)

Done. I'm not sure, but when fixing this, I had some issues with the mouse event handler invocations (things looked like the mouse events were not dispatched.) I solved this by random code motion.

Right, I ended up invoking finishJSTest() in this line.

This is not necessary with finishJSTest() in place (it has some special handling for asynchronous tests.)

Seems okay. We can always improve it iteratively since it's not a Web-facing API. But please make sure adding new methods to internals.settings doesn't break any builds when you land it.

Don't you need to add symbols for this?

Zoltán file a new bug report about it, and skipped this test on Qt until fix - http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/106652

Maybe I missed it, but was there any particular reason to do this in WebCore?

For Qt the touch emulation is done on application level. It is really just a simply transformation of what events we send to WebKit.

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Why is this not done in the application layer, like we do for Qt? We support pinch emulation etc. Is this due to inspector integration or ?

"Emulate touch events" is a part of the inspector functionality, we want it to be available to all ports.

Ok, great :-) Did you think about adding support for emulating pinch zoom etc?
