Bug 133157 – [GTK] Allow to run the tests on the native X display (instead of running them inside of Xvfb)

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

This is useful for the performance bot #132862. Running the tests inside of Xvfb don't seems a good idea to get real-world performance metrics.

EFL port implemented a feature like this on #131036

Is this really necessary?

Where is it used?

Not strictly necessary, but is consistent with the script for running the layout tests run-webkit-tests:

$ Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests --help|grep sys
    --nocheck-sys-deps  Don't check the system dependencies (themes)

I can drop it, if you think is better.

Is used on the drivers Xvfb, Weston and this new one (xorgdriver):

Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/xvfbdriver.py
Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/westondriver.py

Unless it is necessary, let's drop this.
It is trivial to add later if needed.

Thanks for your review :)

I have re-uploaded the patch without the "--nocheck-sys-deps" option

I have re-uploaded it again with the "Reviewed by" bit pre-filled on the Changelog.

Can someone cq+ it for me please?

Thanks!
