Bug 110602 – [GTK] DumpRenderTree prints out suggesting to set WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL when fonts are missing but doesn't use it.

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Claudio Saavedra]

This is the only usage of WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL I can see:

  if (!g_getenv("WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL"))
      g_setenv("WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL", TOP_LEVEL_DIR, FALSE);

And later on:

  g_error("Could not locate test fonts at %s. Is WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL set?", fontsPath.data());

Unless I am grossly overlooking something, this makes no sense.

[Brendan Long]

TOP_LEVEL_DIR is used in getTopLevelPath:

Tools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/DumpRenderTree.cpp-CString getTopLevelPath()
Tools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/DumpRenderTree.cpp-{
Tools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/DumpRenderTree.cpp-    if (!g_getenv("WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL"))
Tools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/DumpRenderTree.cpp:        g_setenv("WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL", TOP_LEVEL_DIR, FALSE);
Tools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/DumpRenderTree.cpp-
Tools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/DumpRenderTree.cpp:    return TOP_LEVEL_DIR;
Tools/DumpRenderTree/gtk/DumpRenderTree.cpp-}

The error you're getting is probably because WebKitGTK expects this repo:

https://github.com/mrobinson/webkitgtk-test-fonts

To be checked out in webkit/WebKitBuild/Dependencies/Root

WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL is used in WebCore to load image resources from the trunk (rather than from the installation location) when running DRT:

Not used for fonts I guess. It's misleading. Retitling.

This makes WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL work again, using the environment variable if available, and the build-time constant if not. I also removed the printing of the font path in the debug message, since it's guaranteed to be null (see the if statement right before).

Actually, it's probably better to make this error message more useful, so now it prints a description of where the fonts should be installed and describes what WEBKIT_TOP_LEVEL is.

Anyone want to review this?
