Description Rion 2009-12-18 10:51:03 PST
if url contains fragment ('#' sign and maybe some text after)
QWebFrame just cleans screen when we do setUrl. And only if we
do setUrl second time with the same url, page becomes visible.

simple testcase which needs double execution:
QUrl url = QUrl::fromLocalFile("/path/to/test.html");
url.setFragment("");
ui->webView->setUrl(url);

bug is reproduced at least on 2 computers with absolutely
different hardware. both have fully updated gentoo ~amd64 system,
qt-4.6.0
Comment 1 Rion 2009-12-18 11:08:04 PST
load method works fine with any url

Alexis, I've checked and the patch is clean, so I'm changing to r? cq? again.

The "remove line" you saw is part of the signature generated by git and not part of the patch contents. See bug 29317 ;-)

Comment 21 Caio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho 2011-03-04 06:30:53 PST
The patch breaks url() because it depended on the value of the URL being stored during the clearance of the frame. I'm testing a new patch that remove this dependency to complement the current patch.
Comment 22 Caio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho 2011-03-06 07:04:16 PST
Created bug 55842 to simplify logic of requestedUrl() and permit we use it for implementing our url() after a setUrl() to an invalid url.

The biggest issue I'm trying to solve here is to not depend on an invalid url be stored in our document loader.

This looks good (I like the inline function to clarify what is going on there). But I would like to see a bit more test coverage.

Like what is in the history, what if I call setUrl with an default constructed QUrl(), what is the referer for the next request, etc.

idea of how to stress more the setUrl() -- not a real patch yet

Benjamin, thanks for the review.

For the existing implementation, it seems that empty QUrl() doesn't affect history. The attached new test case describes the existing behavior regarding empty QUrl(). Is this kind of test cases you had in mind?

Do you have any tip on how can I track the referrer for the next request using the Qt API? I tried to "grep" for something similar in current autotests but couldn't find.

You should also test that ::setUrl() and url() are consistent. Especially because of the check for "if (!url.isValid())" in ::url().

> Source/WebKit/qt/tests/qwebframe/tst_qwebframe.cpp:653
> +    void emptyUrls();

The name is not very representative of what you are testing.

I was thinking of subclassing QNetworkAccessManager, and checking the header of the QNetworkRequest.
Comment 28 Caio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho 2011-03-22 22:01:32 PDT
Writing those test cases, I stepped into bug 29595, which I'm adding here as a dependency, since when fixed will get us more test cases.

patch v3, storing the url used in setter

New version of the patch. After bug 29595 we have more tests to verify the behavior.

This new version of the patch adds another auto test, that breaks previous idea of using requestedUrl as fallback -- since load() calls can alter the requestedUrl() without affecting the current url().

Benjamin, I've tried to get some referrer test working, by simulating a click, but even then couldn't get the information available in QNAM (just inside debug statements after the request). More investigation is needed to create such a test, but it seems to me that this could be in another bug, like "[Qt] Create autotest to verify HTTP Referrer when using setUrl() and load()" or something similar. What do you think?

patch v3, storing the url used in setter

I would like test coverage for (1) I setUrl() twice with the same url. (2) I set the same base url but with a new fragment
If that is already covered by existing test, just r? again and ping me :)

patch v4, more autotest coverage

More autotest coverage.

This commit adds autotests to document current behavior when we set the same URL twice. Currently setUrl() acts more like a "clear(); load()" and less like a typical setter function (that wouldn't do anything if the url to be set is the same as current).

Maybe "clearCoreFrame" ? as this it in in qwebframe.

> Source/WebKit/qt/Api/qwebframe_p.h:115

What if I call load? shouldn't this be cleared somehow?

Btw, "...used when THE document URL is not YET available"

> Source/WebKit/qt/tests/qwebframe/tst_qwebframe.cpp:2419
> +void tst_QWebFrame::requestedUrlSetAndLoadFails()

Failed?

Nice catch. Thanks! Not clearing was intentional, but I was not considering this load() case.

I'll work on a different version of the patch to take care of this.

patch v5, keep a member with URL

Use a member to track the URL. Both setUrl() and FrameLoaderClient callbacks will update it, the latter at the same moment that urlChanged() signal is emitted.

Benjamin, rationale for KURL is in the ChangeLog.

Kenneth, previous approach worked even in the case you mentioned (at least as much as I could track in the auto tests created). So no cleanup of urlFromSetter wasn't necessary ;-). However, as we discussed before, the current approach is simpler ("URL is in one well-known place"), and will be less confusing to debug in the future.

This change breaks QWebFrame::url() for iframes.  The urlChanged signal is never emitted, and QWebFrame::url() returns an invalid URL.  This looks to be the source of the issues reported in bug 32723.
