Get confirmation that a key has reached JS

Konstantin Tokarev

@McLion Right, I've mixed it up with new consoleMessageReceived() signal that is present in revived QtWebKit only (since TP3)

@Konstantin-Tokarev
Need some help ...
I have the following:
in h:

#include <QWebPage>
class DBGWebPage : public QWebPage
{
Q_OBJECT
  public:
    explicit DBGWebPage(QObject *parent = 0);
  protected:
    void javaScriptConsoleMessage( const QString & message, int lineNumber, const QString & sourceID );
};

in cpp:

void DBGWebPage::javaScriptConsoleMessage( const QString & message, int lineNumber, const QString & sourceID )
{
  qDebug() << message << lineNumber << sourceID;
}

and my webGUI's are derived from qWebView:

QWebView *webGUI = new QWebView(QTGUI_MainWindow::centralWidget());

How do I make it use the reimplementation of javaScriptConsoleMessage()?

Konstantin Tokarev

@McLion QWebView::setPage

Thanks .. seems to be too late for today ... I don't get it to build ... dam...

There's something I don't get ... probably soemthing with these C++ classes I'm always stumbling over:

#include <QWebPage>
class DBGWebPage : public QWebPage
{
Q_OBJECT
  public:
    explicit DBGWebPage(QObject *parent = 0);
    QWebPage *DebugWebPage;
  protected:
    void javaScriptConsoleMessage( const QString & message, int lineNumber, const QString & sourceID );
};

DBGWebPage::DBGWebPage(QObject *parent) :
  QWebPage(parent)
{
  //QWebPage* DebugWebPage = new QWebPage;
  DebugWebPage = new QWebPage(this);
}

QWebView * QTGUI_MainWindow::CreateNewWebGUI(int iID)
{
  // check if already existing
  if(webGUIMap.value(iID) != 0) { qDebug("GUI %d existing", iID); return false; }

  // check for max GUI count here
  if(iID > GUI_COUNT_MAX) { qDebug("GUI %d failed - Max GUI ID is %d", iID, GUI_COUNT_MAX); return false; }

  // create new webGUI and add it to the list
  QWebView *webGUI = new QWebView(QTGUI_MainWindow::centralWidget());
  webGUIMap.insert(iID, webGUI);

  // make some basic settings to the new GUI
  webGUI->setPage(DBGWebPage::DebugWebPage);
  webGUI->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("webGUI%1").arg(iID));
......

Hi
webGUI->setPage(DBGWebPage::DebugWebPage);
I would expect be something like
DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
webGUI->setPage(page->DebugWebPage);

The other syntax seems odd ?

Konstantin Tokarev

@McLion You derive DBGWebPage from QWebPage and add QWebPage* field to it, then try to use that QWebPage* field (which is vanilla QWebPage, not DBGWebPage) as it was static filed of DBGWebPage.

McLion

@mrjj
Thanks.
In fact, the other syntax seemed wrong.
You code builds without error, however, crashes with SIGSEGV.

Konstantin Tokarev

@McLion Because it should be

DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
webGUI->setPage(page);

McLion

I somehow understand all you're saying, but I so far am not able to modify my code to not crash.
Currently ended up with (modified to it while Konstantin was writing it too):

DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
webGUI->setPage(page);

and an empty constructor.
Still crashing .... I'm stumped.

Konstantin Tokarev

remove DebugWebPage and all code messing with it

McLion

Found something.
It actually works if comment 2 signal connects for the page, but I need these two.

networkAccessManager for SSL errors
and the JS bridge
If the page has been set, do I need to connect these in a different way or do these now go to the wrong object?

QWebView * QTGUI_MainWindow::CreateNewWebGUI(int iID)
{
  // check if already existing
  if(webGUIMap.value(iID) != 0) { qDebug("GUI %d existing", iID); return false; }

  // check for max GUI count here
  if(iID > GUI_COUNT_MAX) { qDebug("GUI %d failed - Max GUI ID is %d", iID, GUI_COUNT_MAX); return false; }

  // create new webGUI and add it to the list
  QWebView *webGUI = new QWebView(QTGUI_MainWindow::centralWidget());
  webGUIMap.insert(iID, webGUI);

  // make some basic settings to the new GUI
DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
webGUI->setPage(page);

  webGUI->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("webGUI%1").arg(iID));
//qDebug() << "New webGUI:" << webGUI;
//qDebug() << "Map:" << iID << webGUIMap.value(iID);
  webGUI->setStyleSheet(QString::fromUtf8("background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);"));
  webGUI->setUrl(QUrl("about:blank"));
  webGUI->setRenderHints(QPainter::SmoothPixmapTransform|QPainter::TextAntialiasing);
  webGUI->page()->mainFrame()->setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Vertical, Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
  webGUI->page()->mainFrame()->setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Horizontal, Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
  webGUI->setGeometry(0, 0, SCREEN_SIZE_X, SCREEN_SIZE_Y);
  webGUI->setFocusPolicy(Qt::StrongFocus);
  webGUI->setMouseTracking(true);
  webGUI->setAcceptDrops(true);
  webGUIeventFilter *webGUIEvFil = new webGUIeventFilter;
  webGUI->installEventFilter(webGUIEvFil);
  webGUI->hide();

  // connect load progress and finished signals
  connect(webGUI, SIGNAL(loadProgress(int)), ui->webGUIChangeProgressBar, SLOT(setValue(int)));
  connect(webGUI, SIGNAL(loadFinished(bool)), this, SLOT(webGUI_loadFinished(bool)));

  // prepare adding objects to JavaScript (bridge from JS to native code)
//  connect(webGUI->page()->mainFrame(), SIGNAL(javaScriptWindowObjectCleared()), this, SLOT(populateJavaScriptWindowObject()));

  // setup SSL error handling
//  connect(webGUI->page()->networkAccessManager(), SIGNAL(sslErrors(QNetworkReply*, const QList<QSslError> & )),
//  this, SLOT(HandleGUIsslErrors(QNetworkReply*, const QList<QSslError> & )));

  return webGUI;
}

Did so - all removed.

I can not find what I'm doing wrong. The console debug works, as long as I have deactivated the JS bridge.

DBGWebPage *page=new DBGWebPage();
webGUI->setPage(page);
// the following lines that use the new page seem to work
webGUI->page()->mainFrame()->setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Vertical, Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
webGUI->page()->mainFrame()->setScrollBarPolicy(Qt::Horizontal, Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);
// and the following line - that I need - let it crash upon boot:
connect(webGUI->page()->mainFrame(), SIGNAL(javaScriptWindowObjectCleared()), this, SLOT(populateJavaScriptWindowObject()));

If I don't use setPage() to change the page that the webView generates by default, the JS bridge works perfectly.
What am I doing wrong to use the page of my own class with the debug added AND use the JS bridge?

McLion

Anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong here?
The code does not crash while connecting. It seems to crashes when the first web page is loaded and the loadProgress or loadFinished signal is sent from the webView.
Edit/Add:
On second thought, it probably crashes when the javaScriptWindowObjectCleared() is called the first time.

@McLion Throw it in gdb or your debugger of choice and give us a backtrace and we can probably tell ya what the issue is.

Unfortunately, I don't have any debugger running on this eLinux target.

@McLion Ok if that's the case you'll need to move to using qDebug() or some sort of cout/logfile debugging to figure out what's going on. If you need a logger for linux you're welcome to use mine at https://github.com/ambershark-mike/sharklog. It's not feature complete yet but is definitely more than usable. I use it in a number of projects.

Anyway, my guess with your crash is that webGUI or page() or mainFrame() is invalid. One of those is causing the issue almost guaranteed. Assuming the crash is actually on that line. So for instance if you were using my logger you could check it with code like:

// sorry for the casts to (int) on the pointers, I don't have hex address/pointer support in the logger yet.
// it's a side project I don't have a ton of time for. :)
LoggerStream() << "webGUI: " << (int)webGUI << SHARKLOG_END;
LoggerStream() << "page: " << (int)webGUI->page() << SHARKLOG_END;
LoggerStream() << "mainFrame: " << (int)webGUI->page()->mainFrame() << SHARKLOG_END;

The reason we do all those logs on a separate line is if any of them are bad they will crash. Put these in before your connect and check which object is bad. Probably a null (0), but potentially it has been deleted. If that is the case and it is a dangling pointer it is going to be harder to find without a debugger.

Oh, I'm using qDebug() a lot since I have a serial console connected to the embedded target that allows me to see everything from Linux and interact with it as well.

The problem is that from within a JS in webKit there is no qDebug().
By subclassing webView and reimplementing javaScriptConsoleMessage() every console message in a JS (i.e. console.log("JS keyCode: " + event.keyCode);) can be catched in C++ code and forwarded to the console by using qDebug().
Actually, this works ... as long as I don't connect the bridge and comment the following:

// prepare adding objects to JavaScript (bridge from JS to native code)
connect(webGUI->page()->mainFrame(), SIGNAL(javaScriptWindowObjectCleared()), this, SLOT(populateJavaScriptWindowObject()));

So, I assume that the object in the connect is the issue because page() is not automatically derived from the webView as it was before and has been changed to page() from my subclass DBGWebPage.

I just can't see what is wrong with the stuff I'm doing.
Thanks a lot anyway.
