Bug 223070 – [WPE] Qt API build failure on 2.31.90

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WPE WebKit

[Bastian Krause]

When configuring wpewebkit 2.31.90 (with libwpe 1.9.90, wpebackend-fdo 1.9.1) with -DENABLE_WPE_QT_API=ON and then building with cmake, I stumble upon:

This is also broken in the latest stable wpewebkit 2.32.0.

This patch reverts the WTF usage since this code has nothing to do with webkit internals at all.

LGTM. Can you add these files in a new allow-list for the style-checker? Should be in Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/style/checker.py

[Marco Felsch]

Yep, I can add those files.

This adds the style checker allow-list.

I think this works only for files, not individual directories.

I've tested it and saw no more errors after applying it.

[Marco Felsch]

But.. My indent is wrong.. Damn

[Marco Felsch]

I don't see how this failures are related to my commit

[Philippe Normand]

Please fix the style EWS. The wincairo failure looks indeed unrelated.

I followed the style within the checker.py list. Don't see what I did wrong.

Me neither. This pep thing is quite pedantic.

Anyway, the fix I found is to dedent all 4 lines by one space. No idea why:

    ([
     # The WPE QT wrapper lib is not part of Webkit and therefore don't need to statically
     # link the WTF framwork. Instead it uses the standard alloc mechanism.
     os.path.join('Source', 'WebKit', 'UIProcess', 'API', 'wpe', 'qt')],
     ["-runtime/wtf_make_unique"]),

You can run Tools/Scripts/check-webkit-style locally btw.

And fix the framwork typo while you're at it ;)

Did that as well.

You should have left the "Reviewed by OOPS" lines...
