This means you can now load the raw text in a browser and the resulting
page will have basic blue links that can be clicked on that will in turn
be loaded by the HTTP service.
A significant feature, so worthy of a minor version bump to;
v1.1.0
It appears that Firefox doesn't always log its Marionette startup, so
instead this commit catches the network error when Marionette is yet to
start and just retries until Marionette is ready.
Firstly Firefox 60 now throws an error if its run as root inside a
user's home path. Which is great because that revelead my naivety about
using `RUN su user` in the Dockerfile. So now Firefox is running as a
non-root user inside Docker which is what was always best.
Also it turns out that the crude 3 second wait at startup hoping that
Firefox's Marionette had started listening, wasn't good enough. So now
we're actually listening for a log message to know when it's started
now.
Finally make all startup methods use a the post-webext connection state
to send the startup URL to the browser, the other methods just seemed to
flakey.
Includes version bump to 1.0.9
Adjust path in .goreleaser.yml
Boot Firefox before any tests to get any 'first launch' behaviour out of
the way.
Remove pacman build as we're using nfpm instead of fpm now.
This fixes a bug where pressing return after entering a new URL would
forward the ENTER key to the DOM and sometimes trigger the focussed
result in a Google search.
There was a long standing problem where random gaps would appear
between lines. The fix was to change a magic number that adds an extra
few pixels to the reported height of the 'em' character dimensions.
Unfortunately I don't know what this magic number actually does. It
might represent the distance between lines?
Previously we were using CSS to make the text's colour transparent.
However that proved to cause a lot of problems with pre-existing
transition animations in the host webpage. There didn't seem to be
anyway to disable the transition time for text transitioning to
transparent, without also disabling all transitions.
Also added censorship to password input boxes.
This is so you can immediately clear the URL bar upon toggling. Which
saves you holding down the backspace key if you want to ente a new URL.
Only for input boxes. And SHIFT-ARROW isn't implemented.
No doubt a lot of this code is reinventing the wheel, after all this is
basically now a simple text editor. I'm sure there'll be a few bugs to
iron out.
Using the `-http-server` argument will now start Browsh in HTTP Server
mode. It will accept request like this:
`curl brow.sh/http://news.ycombinator.com`
This will return a plain text version of the Hacker News front page,
with a width of 100 characters, with each line separated by a line
break.
Also:
* Use webextension to navigate URLs instead of the DOM. This means
that crashed pages can still be navigated away from.
* An attempt to implement mouse dragndrop, but it doesn't work :(
Unit tests needed tab objects to be created.
Integration tests needed more max time for start up and to make sure
that the final tab doesn't get closed.
Adding, cycling, deleting. The width of the tab handle is currently
fixed to 20. And if there are more tabs than can fit in the tab bar then
the extra ones just dissapear off to the right, but they can still be
cycled to with CTRL-Tab.
The marks the end of feature development in preperation for a version
1 release.
Input boxes are currently only one line and to not properly wrap. So
textareas are also one line. TBC...
Also includes:
* First implementation of the DOM MutationObserver. This needs to have
an eye kept on it in case some websites trigger too mutatation
events. For now it doesn't seem too bad. Although strangely it seems
to stop on Youtube after about 15 seconds.
Text in the real browser only needs to be displayed when parsing with
the Text Builder in order to get the text's colour and z-index. Text
parsing should be done in frequently as it likely doesn't change often.
However graphics building of the current viewport is set to
automatically parse ever 250ms and it doesn't need to know anything
about text. So there's no point defaulting to having text on and hiding
it for every graphics frame.
This tweak has improved the perforance of the graphics parsing for small
frames (the same size as the viewport) from around 100ms to around 4ms!
There are still some curious and inexplicable CPU spikes when
scrolling... TBC
Firstly, this improves performance on a larger pages. But it also
prevents browser crashes a very large pages by setting a limit to how
much work is done per frame.
Also includes:
* Thread safe cell map for simultaneously reading and writing to the
buffered frame of TTY cells.
* Improved webext tests so that they programmaticlly build DOM rects
based off simple text strings.
* CLI is now prepared for supporting multiple tabs.
* Refactored global vars into relevant files
* Now using real types in JSON sent to CLI
* Still doesn't fix integration tests
This offloads significant CPU load from the browser. However it's become
clear that the previous feature of parsing the entire DOM needs to have
an upper limit imposed. For instance large Wikipedia pages still cause
problematic CPU load.
This commit does not fix the broken UI so integration tests fail.
Instead of mirroring the browser's viewport, as if we had a camera over
the browser, the entire DOM is now sent in the frame. This means that
the CLI itself can scroll without having to wait for updates from the
webextension screenshotter.
