Bug 69037 – ASSERT if WebView's UIDelegate does not implement webView:runOpenPanel

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

[Joseph Pecoraro]

If a WebView's UIDelegate does not implement any of the webView:runOpenPanel delegates
then WebChromeClient will ASSERT(!_chooser) when the unused WebOpenPanelResultListener
deallocated. WebKit expects an action (-cancel, -chooseFile:, or -chooseFiles:) to be called
on the listener before its deallocated.

We can either not create the listener if its not needed, or just default to cancel if no delegate is implemented.

Easiest approach was to just send a -cancel to the listener.

[Joseph Pecoraro]

This would also fix a leak for those cases.

Is it right to -release after -cancel? This looks like an over-release.

[Joseph Pecoraro]

In this case, -cancel doesn't release the object, it just sends a message down
to the WebCore::FileChooser and clears the FileChooser. -release just
deallocates, which expects the chooser to have already been cleared.

The relevant code here is:

    ifndef NDEBUG
    - (void)dealloc
    {
        ASSERT(!_chooser);
        [super dealloc];
    }
    - (void)finalize
    {
        ASSERT(!_chooser);
        [super finalize];
    }
    #endif

    - (void)cancel
    {
        ASSERT(_chooser);
        if (!_chooser)
            return;
        _chooser->deref();
        _chooser = 0;
    }

Actually the -cancel path doesn't send a message. The -chooseFile(s) paths
do send a message and clear the chooser. The rest of my comment is still fine.
