tests - text input through a real browser
Everything else in this tree that touches text-input v3 measures E
against a client written alongside it, which does what the protocol
says. This puts a real browser on one side and stands in for the input
method on the other, and asks the question the track exists for: can
someone using a browser under E have an input method type into a field.
It answers yes, for Brave. Composed text sent by the input method
arrives in the page's field, through zwp_text_input_v3 one way and
zwp_input_method_v2 the other.
Three things were measured on the way and are worth having written down,
because each one costs a browser run to rediscover:
* **Chromium here speaks text-input v1 only**, and this Firefox has no
Wayland text-input of any version - neither binary mentions v3
anywhere. Brave carries both and turns v3 on with
--enable-features=WaylandTextInputV3, which is off by default. So
browser-run.sh gained a hook for per-test flags rather than every
browser test carrying one that changes which protocols get bound.
* **A browser starts with its own address bar focused.** An input
method activated for the omnibox is, from the compositor's side,
indistinguishable from one activated for the page - and the text
goes into the address bar. Without a click into the page this passed
about one run in four and always failed identically, with the
browser answering every commit and the field never changing. The
page's field covers the whole viewport so the click does not have to
know where the browser put its chrome.
* **tk_find returns the first window with an app_id**, and a browser
maps several - Brave shows five. Reading a title from the wrong one,
or clicking at its coordinates, is a test that passes when the
compositor's list happens to be ordered conveniently.
What is asserted, and what is not, is deliberate. Activation is asserted
for Brave and nothing else - declared per browser in meson.build via
E_TEST_TI_REQUIRED so that "this browser speaks v3" is a statement
someone made, can be found, and goes red when it stops being true. It
was 100% across a dozen runs.
Delivery of the text is reported, not asserted. It lands about three
runs in five, decided by what the browser is doing at the time; runs
that do land often show the text several times over, which is the same
effect from the other side. The compositor's half is done either way and
the diagnostic is what says so: E answers every text-input commit from
the browser with a done to the input method, so a done count that keeps
climbing after our commit_string went out means the browser received it
and replied - it is the field that did not change. Asserting on that
number would put a coin toss in the suite, and this tree has been here
before; the browser tier was rewritten once already because a test
nobody can trust is worse than no test.
Test-only: no compositor code is touched, so wlcs cannot move and was
not re-run. In-tree 32 -> 35.
