Bug 79494 – requestPermission callback not invoked if the WebProcess doesn't have to ask the UI Process about the permission level

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Jessie Berlin]

If a site already has had permission granted to them to post notifications, and the Web Process already knows about this permission, if the site again calls requestPermission, the callback is never invoked.

This is because of the following code in NotificationPermissionRequestManager.cpp:

void NotificationPermissionRequestManager::startRequest(SecurityOrigin* origin, PassRefPtr<VoidCallback> callback)
{
#if ENABLE(NOTIFICATIONS)
    if (permissionLevel(origin) != NotificationPresenter::PermissionNotAllowed)
        return;

    uint64_t requestID = generateRequestID();
    m_originToIDMap.set(origin, requestID);
    m_idToOriginMap.set(requestID, origin);
    m_idToCallbackMap.set(requestID, callback);
    m_page->send(Messages::WebPageProxy::RequestNotificationPermission(requestID, origin->toString()));
#else
    UNUSED_PARAM(origin);
    UNUSED_PARAM(callback);
#endif
}

That first if statement should invoke the callback.
