Writing Layout Tests to test iOS UI features
v10 v11 3 3 It's now possible to write layout tests that exercise code in the UI process in iOS WebKit2. This allows testing of things like tapping, zooming, keyboard interaction, selection, text input etc. 4 4 5 This is done by running JavaScript in an isolated JS context in the UI process f orm a test. That JavaScript has access to a UIScriptController, which has properties that expose information about the state of the UI process,.and functions to make things happen, including event synthesis.5 This is done by running JavaScript in an isolated JS context in the UI process from a test. That JavaScript has access to a UIScriptController, which has properties that expose information about the state of the UI process and functions to make things happen, including event synthesis. 6 6 7 7 The UI script itself runs asynchronously, and many of the UIScriptController functions are asynchronous. Callbacks are used to tell the test when something completes. … … 49 49 }}} 50 50 51 so we can use this in our test in some scriptthat would run from the onload handler:51 We can call this from our test inside some <script> that would run from the onload handler: 52 52 {{{ 53 53 <script> … … 57 57 if (testRunner.runUIScript) { 58 58 testRunner.runUIScript("...", function(result) { 59 document.getElementById( 'result').innerText = result;59 document.getElementById("result").innerText = result; 60 60 testRunner.notifyDone(); 61 61 }); … … 66 66 }}} 67 67 68 The script passed in to runUIScript() is just a string.

This UI-side script runs in a separate JS context that has no access to the DOM, no timers, no requestAnimationFrame , no XHR etc. What it can do is run vanilla JavaScript, and access properties and functions on [https://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/WebKitTestRunner/UIScriptContext/Bindings/UIScriptController.idl UIScriptController], which is exposed as uiController. Here's a simple example, using function-like syntax for the inline script, that returns zoom scale:84 So, what script can you run in the UI process?

However, the keyboard must first be shown for the key events to be properly handled. First, your UI-side script must perform some action that will cause the keyboard to be shown. Your script must then bind uiController.didShowKeyboardCallback to a function which is invoked after the keyboard is shown and is ready to accept key inputs. This callback should call one of the typeCharacter methods (currently, there is only typeCharacterUsingHardwareKeyboard, but we intend on supporting software key events as well). In the below example, suppose that tapping at (50, 25) touches a ninput element.132 UIScriptController also supports sending key events.

This is because when the key event is handled by the UI process, there is no guarantee that the web process has received the resulting editing event, so the value of the element may not be updated. Instead of waiting on the UI-side script to complete, we can instead invoke testRunner.notifyDone when the element itself has received an oninput event.143 Observe that we didn't call uiController.uiScriptComplete().

You can also call testRunner.runUIScript() as many times as you like from the test content, making it possible to test a long sequence of operations that bounce between the UI process and the web process.
