Bug 198505 – REGRESSION(r240946): Web Inspector: Styles: Pasting multiple properties has issues

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector

[Joseph Pecoraro]

Web Inspector: Styles Redesign: Pasting multiple properties should create properties instead of a bad property (179622)

Copy this text:
---------
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
---------

Steps to reproduce:
1. Copy the above text
2. Inspect this page
3. Show the Styles sidebar
4. Click to start adding a new property
5. Paste
  => Bad behavior, the new properties are added but don't show up in the sidebar

I can reproduce this.

[Nikita Vasilyev]

The view doesn't get updated after pasting CSS because WI.CSSStyleDeclaration.Event.PropertiesChanged doesn't fire.

CSSStyleDeclaration:

    update(text, ...)
    {
        let oldText = this._text;
        this._text = text;
        ...
        if (oldText === this._text && this._type !== WI.CSSStyleDeclaration.Type.Computed)
             return;
        ...
        this.dispatchEventToListeners(WI.CSSStyleDeclaration.Event.PropertiesChanged);

oldText matches this._text, so it returns early.

Since r240946, CSSStyleDeclaration#text setter updates text immediately (e.g. it doesn't wait for a backend roundtrip).
`oldText === this._text` check no longer makes sense for this case.

cq- because I'm still wondering if there's a more elegant solution. One that doesn't require adding another property to CSSStyleDeclaration.

The failed test modified the style attribute. We should keep `oldText === this._text` for that case.

modify-css-property.html fails only on Debug and I trying to figure out why.

I built Debug ToT WebKit locally and every test I run times out. This is even without my patch; master branch.

    $ run-webkit-tests --debug --time-out-ms=2000 --no-retry-failures --no-build LayoutTests/inspector/unit-tests/array-utilities.html

WebKitBuild/Debug/layout-test-results/inspector/unit-tests/array-utilities-actual.txt:

    #PID UNRESPONSIVE - WebKitTestRunner (pid 19059)
    FAIL: Timed out waiting for notifyDone to be called
    
    #EOF
    #EOF

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my WebKit build.

So why exactly aren't we rolling out r240946 then?  It seems like that broke this functionality.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Models/CSSStyleDeclaration.js:187
> +        if (oldText === this._text && !this._pendingPropertiesChanged && this._type !== WI.CSSStyleDeclaration.Type.Computed)

Based on the explanation in the ChangeLog, doesn't this mean that `oldText === this._text` will always be true?

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Models/CSSStyleDeclaration.js:194
>              this.dispatchEventToListeners(WI.CSSStyleDeclaration.Event.PropertiesChanged);

Is there a reason to not just always fire `CSSStyleDeclaration.Event.PropertiesChanged`?  All of the listeners for it just refresh their UI.

r=me. Reviewing the surrounding code makes me think that CSSStyleDeclaration needs to be rewritten. It is very hard to follow.

r240946 "Web Inspector: Styles: fix race conditions when editing" did fix race conditions. I still think it was the right direction.

I did that initially. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198505#c4.
It broke the test when inline CSS was modified via web page's JS.

I agree that it's hard to follow.

I don't think rewriting CSSStyleDeclaration alone would be sufficient. I find most of DOMNodeStyles class is even harder to understand than CSSStyleDeclaration.

On the bright side, we have more CSS editor tests than a year ago. So making changes is slightly less risky now.

Let me know what was particularly hard to follow (either here or in-person later).
