The failure was caused by a change that was done in connection with the WebKit 610.2 update, [JDK-8259635](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8259635). The `FrameLoaderClient::userAgent` function was changed in WebKit itself to be a const method in WebKit 610.2. We override that method in `FrameLoaderClientJava` to return the user agent string, which is done by reading the user agent from an instance of the `Page` class. `FrameLoaderClientJava` has a `m_page` field that is lazily initialized whenever it is needed. This lazy initialization can no longer be done from the `userAgent` method, since it is `const`, as can be seen from this change that was done as part of WebKit 610.2:
--- a/modules/javafx.web/src/main/native/Source/WebKitLegacy/java/WebCoreSupport/FrameLoaderClientJava.cpp +++ b/modules/javafx.web/src/main/native/Source/WebKitLegacy/java/WebCoreSupport/FrameLoaderClientJava.cpp -String FrameLoaderClientJava::userAgent(const URL&) +String FrameLoaderClientJava::userAgent(const URL&) const { - return page()->settings().userAgent(); + if (!m_page) + return emptyString(); + return m_page->settings().userAgent(); } Formerly, if the `m_page` field was uninitialized, FrameLoaderClient::userAgent would have initialized it by the call to the `page()` function, but since it is now `const` we can't do that. This means that the user agent string will be empty until some other method is called that initializes the `m_page` field. The fix is to initialize that field when the `WebPage` is created. We can't do it in the constructor, since the needed reference to the `Page` class isn't yet available, so I added an `init` method that is called from `WebPage::twkInit`. I added a new unit test that fails without the fix and passes with the fix. ------------- Commit messages: - 8275138: WebView: UserAgent string is empty for first request Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/643/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jfx&pr=643&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8275138 Stats: 51 lines in 4 files changed: 33 ins; 0 del; 18 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/643.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx pull/643/head:pull/643 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jfx/pull/643
