Bug 156883 – Support disabling at runtime IndexedDB constructors exposed to workers

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore Misc.

[Brady Eidson]

Disable exposing IDBVersionChangeEvent and IDBKeyRange to WorkerGlobalScope when IDB-in-Workers is disabled

I ran the workers interfaces test:
http://w3c-test.org/IndexedDB/interfaces.worker

...with the "Indexed DB in workers" runtime flag off, yet the interfaces for these two objects came up.

In both of their IDLs they are exposed to both Window and Workers. But I need the exposure to "Workers" to be based on the IDB-in-workers runtime enabled flag.

If these interfaces exist even when IDB-in-worker is disabled, IDB-in-workers cannot be properly polyfilled.

Chris, you're pretty darned knowledgeable in this area - What can we do?

The easy way to do this right now would be to do:
1. Drop the "Exposed=(Window,Worker)" from IDBVersionChangeEvent and IDBKeyRange so that they are only exposed to Window by default.

then

2. Add explicit Constructor attributes on WorkerGlobalScope (for IDBVersionChangeEvent and IDBKeyRange) that are either [Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE] or [EnabledAtRuntime=FetchAPI] depending if IDB-in-Workers is a compile-time or a runtime thing.

Please disregard the INDEXED_DATABASE / FetchAPI I used in my example. I assume you have a flag for IDB-In-Workers already.

Ok, I think I found your flag so basically
2. add:
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDBWorkers] attribute IDBVersionChangeEventConstructor IDBVersionChangeEvent;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDBWorkers] attribute IDBKeyRangeConstructor IDBKeyRange;

to WorkerGlobalScope.idl

[Chris Dumez]

BTW, how about all the other IDB constructors exposed on WorkerGlobalScope?

I see:
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBCursorConstructor IDBCursor;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBCursorWithValueConstructor IDBCursorWithValue;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBDatabaseConstructor IDBDatabase;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBFactoryConstructor IDBFactory;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBIndexConstructor IDBIndex;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBKeyRangeConstructor IDBKeyRange;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBObjectStoreConstructor IDBObjectStore;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBOpenDBRequestConstructor IDBOpenDBRequest;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBRequestConstructor IDBRequest;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBTransactionConstructor IDBTransaction;
[Conditional=INDEXED_DATABASE, EnabledAtRuntime=IndexedDB] attribute IDBVersionChangeEventConstructor IDBVersionChangeEvent;

They aren't yet.

I imagine IDBVersionChangeEvent got exposed because it is actually constructible.

I don't know why IDBKeyRange got exposed - Maybe because some methods are static...? /me shrugs

I trust you that this works, but I wonder if we could test it, too?

storage/indexeddb/modern/workers-enable.html and storage/indexeddb/modern/workers-disabled.html would be great tests to add to for this.

[Brady Eidson]

Also, thanks a lot for doing this!

Sure, I'll take a look at those tests.

There’s a test failing, but no chance that it’s due to this patch.
