[Crosswalk-dev] Intent to Implement : auto start of Crosswalk applications without command line arguments.

[Alexis Menard]

Hi,

[Disclaimer] This intent is meant to start discussion so I'm looking
for feedback [/Disclaimer].

The feature is a requirement for Project Centennial support or
Crosswalk apps on the Windows Store.

In the context of the Windows Store, applications do not take any
command line arguments. They have an entry point and there is no way
to pass a command line arguments like on old school Win32 apps. They
expect to launch themselves and do their work. Of course this does not
fit with Crosswalk for several reasons starting with the fact that the
manifest used to launch the app is passed as a parameter, also many
debug options are passed to the main xwalk executable, or external
extensions are specified as a command line argument. Please note that
this limitation does not apply to the processes that xwalk spawn as we
use the Win32 API to spawn them (for example extension process, render
process or gpu process do not suffer that limitation).

In my POC to support these apps I've implemented a quick solution. I
would like to merge a solution to Crosswalk master so that we're ready
for Centennial at the release date (~Summer 2016).

Some context is now needed to fully understand the problem. The
Crosswalk apps on the Store is achieved using the Centennial tool that
Microsoft has released (works only with the latest Windows 10 Insider
builds). The tool takes the .msi that app-tools produces and convert
it to a UWP App (or to be more exact, it produces an .appx). That app
can then be signed and sideloaded on your dev machine (or in the
future ready to be uploaded on the Store).

Back to the problem, here are the 3 solutions I thought could be adopted :

-  Teach app-tools to write the startup path (the manifest) and the
command lines arguments to the registry. The registry is emulated in
Centennial so it doesn't pollute the main registry. Crosswalk will
then read the registry in case there is nothing to launch (nothing was
passed as a parameter). This is obviously a Windows only solution and
Registry is considered as a legacy from the Microsoft standpoint. If
we plan to move that feature to other platforms for some reason, it's
not going to work (that said maybe there is no need).

- Teach app-tools to create a startup.json file with all the
information needed for Crosswalk to start itself (as well as command
line arguments specified by the dev) if there are no arguments passed.
This file is created when producing the .msi. This is the solution I
currently used in my POC. It's working great. The solution could be
cross platform if needed. Crosswalk will then read that file when
starting.

- Modify the .msi structure when installing a crosswalk app so that
the developer application is not anymore in a separate directory. For
example as of today applications are getting installed in
C:\Program Files\myappname where the root contains all xwalk files
(xwalk.exe, locales/, ...). The actual application is in a
subdirectory myappname/ : developer files are then separated from
xwalk files. We could modify that and put all the files inside the
root dir of the applications. Then xwalk will just try to read the
manifest.json of the app which is located alongside xwalk executable.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Hey all,

This Wednesday (May 25th) we'll be taking some of our Buildbot slaves
offline due to some planned maintenance. The maintenance will begin at

Re: [Crosswalk-dev] Chromium 50 has reached Crosswalk 20

[Lin, Wanming]

Hi,



Really glad to see this happen, and thanks.



As usual, Crosswalk QA checked the new web platform features enabled by default 
by upstream Chromium 50 and available in Chrome for Android/Desktop, on 
Crosswalk Project for Android, Windows and Linux Deepin with upstream samples. 
We also created some test cases for critical features that missed upstream 
samples.


In summary these features are well supported except three:

- Notification action icons (XWALK-3654)
- Notification custom timestamps (XWALK-3654)
- Notification notificationclose event (XWALK-3654)

See details below.

Hello Crosswalkers,

As some of you might have seen, Crosswalk master has been updated to 
50.0.2661.102 which is the latest stable from Chromium.
You can find the changes we had to adapt to get to this milestone in the PR 
here, https://github.com/crosswalk-project/crosswalk/pull/3698
A special shout out to everyone who contributed to this rebase: Chuan Liu, 
Sergey Mishenkov, Shaobo Yan, Zhang Xiaofeng, Hengzhi Wu and Alexis Menard.

The big change you will find in this release is the removal of support for 
Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS) as announced earlier on our blog, 
https://crosswalk-project.org/blog/deprecate-40.html,
We will continue to support 4.0 through Crosswalk 19 though.

You can find more details about Chromium specific changes in the blog post 
here, http://blog.chromium.org/2016/03/chrome-50-beta-push-notification.html

Happy hacking!
