WebKit upgrade

[Ricky]

Hello everyone,

Very interested in webkitdriver - it's exactly what we've been looking
for.

I understand that your port is based on the wx port. I'd be interested
in upgrading the version of WebKit you're using to the latest version.
Could you give me some suggestions as to the most sensible workpath to
upgrade the WebKit version?

Many thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

The upgrade will require quite a lot of effort: recent WebKit is significantly refactored comparing to webkitdriver snapshot. Main problems in upgrade are changes in interfaces (missing methods should be implemented, usually as stubs), code location changes (class was split into two or moved into different namespace).

I think the most straightforward path would be create a patch of modified webkit against same release (55226) in webkit repository and apply this patch to very recent WebKit release. Then try to build, adding/modifying implementations of classes in hl/ subdirectories according to build error reflecting changes in WebKit interfaces.
