Bug 88109 – WebFrame::_stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString methods don't handle nil string

• Component: WebKit Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Saboff]

The various flavors of WebFrame::_stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString don't properly handle nil string.  Instead such nil strings are passed down to the JavaScript engine where it may be a crash.

An if (!string) return @"": should be added as appropriate.

Don't you expect an empty string, not a nil string?

Expectation should be empty string. Does nil pass?

I was thinking about this as I was out at lunch, realizing that the test was wrong.  The test was "passing", but shouldn't.  I was assuming that run-test-webkit-api built the tests before running.  Therefore I wasn't testing the new code.  Built and tested this patch.  It works as expected.
